TOKYO, Mar. 19.-If the
United States is going to insure
world peace, Americans must re-
main indefinitely in Japan after
the japanese peace treaty is
signed, Premier Shigeru YoShida
said today.
In an interview with the Associ-
.ated Press, the Premier voiced
strong approval of Gen. MacArthurs
recent proposal for treaty negotia-
lions and end of the occupation, but
made it plain that he preferred
American protection to that of the
United Nations on signing the peace.
I'VE are having our battles with
the Communists, too Yoshida said,
land we have very dangerous
enemy to the north"
The Premier interpreted President
Truman's recent address to mean
that the United States was going to
lead a worldwide opposition against
Communism. and said:
You Americans have got to re-
main in Japan after the peace treaty
if the United States is going to in
sure world peace. No matter how
much you might want to go home,
this must be done. It is to the adj
vantage of your country as well
as mine"
The American supervision should
continue as long as the world sit
uation is so confused. Other
wise all the work you put in to
democratize Japan will collapse,
Yoshida declared.
In common on Gen. MacArthurs
proposal that the United Nations
take over the stewardship of Japan
the Premier said, L am not &C
quainted with the strength of the
United Nations. But we know the
League of Nations was not very
good. Maybe the United Nations
will not be ready when peace comes.
Yoshida predicted that military
forces would be necessary in Japan
for a time at least after the peace
treaty vas signed. Gen. MacAr-
thurs statement did not foreset
military formations of any kind
as necessary after the treaty.
Il think, and hope, that the treaty

Furniture Shortage Soon
To Ease, Reports Say

CHICAGO, April 80 - With the
exception of mahogany, prices for
cabinet woods used by the fuTni-
ture industry have shown signs Of
leveling off after price increases
of Is to 20 per cent since decon-
troll, lumber buyers here reported.
An investigation Of reports that
some Enthusiastically high prices
were being paid has indicated that
this is confined to scarce items in
special lengths and widths for
which the furniture industry is not
competing.
Some %scarcities still prevail in
desired species and ations
but another 80 days will see furni-
ture manufacturers "out of the
woods" because of stocks being
accumulated by mills which nor
mally supply them, it is believed.
The mahogany situation is
clouded by the continued high de-
mand and the British action in
reducing quota on African logs
from 60 to 40 per cent.
Prices paid for FAS grades av-
eraged $282 during the war. They
were successfully advanced tc
$31', $500 and recently 10 1925,
Old line dealers from whom the
larger furniture manufacturers re
ceive the bulk Of their supply,
nave held that price fairly stable.
A higher percentage Of the Afri-
can logs are used for veneer and
these prices are up to about 1915.
Boat builders, with highly select
ed requirements for length and
width, have paid up to $500 end a

buy logs are charging whatever
II traffic will bear.
These are frequently below
standard grade and higher priced
than when bought from normal
suppliers. There are high hopes
for greater production long with
reports that supply of logs in the
tropics is high and the only diff
Guilty is in getting transportation.
In the last few months, walnut
veneer production set a record OF
81 per cent in excess of the pre-
vious year, Burdett Green secre-
tary of the American Walnut Man

If they spend their whole va:

a cinch she dreamed up the trip

If they decide TO rough it, which
means going of to the wilds where
he can fish and hunt and she can
fish and hunt-and also cook
meals, wash dishes and fight mos
quitoes-it's a. pretty safe guess il
was his idea.
If they go to a fashionable re

come back with stories Of the i'm
pcrtant people they met, you can
be quite sure the little woman in

And, Of course, x he spends his

to her mothers Tor a visit while
he is away. he's really running
things!

about old school friends of hers
