distortions of truth and utter false

look this incendiary press campaign,
feeling that to take issue with
myriad false or incorrect statements
would simply be adding fuel to the
flame of hatred toward my country

Soviet Share Of U. 5. Trade
Drops 10 Pre-War Level
BY the Assoeiatsd Press

Russia's share Of total United States
trade has dropped back to prewar
size. after being swelled by war
time lease-lend and postwar UNRRA
aid, the Census Bureau reported to-
day.
The agency's figures show that
Russia obtained IL per cent of the
value Of all United States exports
during the first half of this year
and provided IL per cent of all
goods imported into the United
States. That is about the same
percentage OF American trade that
Russia handled before the war.
The total value of American ex-
ports to Russia and imports from
Russia during the first half of this
year declined from the same period
last year. Exports dropped so per
cent and imports 43 per cent.
However, Russia's "commercial'
or cash buying rose considerably.
Soviet agencies paid cash for half
of the $91 200 900 In United States
shipments of goods to Russia during
the first six months of 1947. United
States shipments to oil countries
amounted to $7,533, 900, 900 for that
period.

There were only two basic causes
for the walkout," Mr.. Behncke said.
The overall underlying factor was
the failure Of AOA to deal in good
faith, TO cease and desist from STALL

representatives to the conference
table that actually had the authofity
to act to conclude an agreement, and
the failure generally Of the company

THE immediate cause was man.
agement's attempt to use signing of
an agreement as bludgeon to force
settlement Of pilot-company griev-
ances, which had no rightful place
in negotiations, and would have ar
bitrarily deprived pilots of the rights

the grievance section Of their con-
tract with AOA as we'll as by the
Railway Labor Act"
In his statement Mr.. Harris said:
Representatives of the manage
ment and the Air Lines Pilots Union
have been negotiating changes in
the contract. Both sides had come to
agreement on pay scales which
would have brought the wages of
our pilots to the highest rates ever
paid In the history of commercial
aviation. The conferees were about
halfway through discussion on re-
vision Of rules and working condi-
tions and had reached an under
standing on most of these.

In this position, take the left hand
