u. ). Seeks Decision
On Jap Reparations
BY the Associated Press

NEW YORK, Nov. 12.-The United
States has been pressing the Far
Eastern Commission for a decision
on the size of the reparations bill to
be handed Japan, Hugh Borton, q
State Department adviser, said
today.
Mr.. Borton told the Academy of
Political Science that this issue, like
the American proposal for an IL
nation conference to draft peace
treaty, is still tied up by disagree
ment. Russia is the main dissenter
Settlement of the reparations
question would have "a salutary
effect on the Japanese economy by
eliminating present doubts as to
just what will be expected" Mr..
Borton said in a prepared address.
He is special assistant to the director
Of the State Departments Office of
Far Eastern Affairs.
The Far Eastern Commission has
been trying Since last February to
decide on formula for sharing any
reparations collected from Japan
The Philippines has put its wal
damage bill at some $4,000, 100000

Pakistan Hits India
For Seizure Of State
BY the Assoeioisd Press

NEW DELHI, Nov. 12.-The
Pakistan government, in state
ment issued to the press today
characterized India's occupation OF
the princely state Of Junagadh as
an unwarranted violation of Pakis-
tan territory.
The statement asserted that PAX
istan refused to recognize India S
assumption Of administrative func-
tions in Junagadh, which 1t said
had been achieved by a show of
overwhelming armed force.
Indian Prime Minister Java
harlal Nehru announced Sunday
that his government had tenn

of Junagadh Premier Shah Nawzaz

This Changing World
Commerce Department Policy Blamed
For Military Shipments to Russia

zation, formerly headed by Henry
A. Wallace, took the position that
we must fulfill nonexistent mora
obligations, no matter how hostile
the beneficiary may be toward this
country.
Locomotives, freight cars and ma
chine tools, all Of which the U. 6
S. r. needs to perfect its war ma
chine, have been sent to Russia ir
violation of law. The value Of these
exports has never been less thar
81 100000 a month, and in most
cases much higher.
Moreover, according to some re-
ports, the wartime custom Of send
ing blueprints Of certain kinds OF
industrial tools is still being fol-
lowed. This enables Soviet engineers
to build machines from prototypes
purchased in America. Instruc-
tions given to buyers by Govern
ment agencies in wartime are un-
derstandable. We. wanted Russia
to produce as much of her own ma
chinery as possible to avoid the risk
of ocean transportation.
Direct Military Goods.
Certain types Of machinery and
machine tools, railway locomotives
cranes and nonmetallic materials
such as coal and oil, are no longer
controlled because they are not con-
sidered direct military goods. But
there is no question OF their mill
tary value. Locomotives pull troop
trains and machinery transforms
metals into primary and secondary
military products.
Whether the Commerce Depart
ment decided on it's own initiative to
continue sending lend-lease goods
to Russia or whether 1t acted on
instructions from other quarters is
a matter which Congress Is deter
mined to investigate in the near
future.
Our shipment Of scrap iron and
oil to Japan up to within a few
weeks before Pearl Harbor was
nothing compared to the continue
ton of lend-lease shipments to
Russia. Up to October, 1s41, Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary OF
State Hull had some hope of avoid
ing conflict with Japan. Moreover
American goods were exported to
Japan by private persons seeking
profits. The administration feared
that an embargo would precipitate
conflict.
In the present case it is the Amer
lean Government itself which con-
tinues to provide materials for wal
to country which is even more
hostile to 1t than Japan was six
wears ago.

obligation" to ship to Russia goods
which were in the pipelines when
lend-lease ended was the subject of
a heated discussion last summer be-
tween Secretary of State Marshall
and Chairman Bridges and Chair
man Taber of the Senate and House
Appropriations Committees, respec-
lively.
Although the law authorizing
lend-lease for the nations fighting
totalitarianism clearly provided that
it would cease as soon as hostilities
ended, Gen. Marshall sent a cable
to Washington from Moscow,
where he was discussing the Ger
man peace treaty-asking that GER
tain portions of undelivered lend
lease materials be given to the Rus
slams
Later Renewed Demand.
Later Gen. Marshall renewed his
demand In an executive session with
the heads Of the two appropriations
committees. The latter were en-
phatic in insisting that there was
no moral obligation on our part to
continue shipping American goods
to Russia, since the war was over
and the law was very clear on the
subject.
Gen. Marshall is reported to have
accepted the point of view expressed
by the congressional spokesmen and
the State Department is said to
have Informed Moscow to that ef-
feet.
While the State Department con-
sidered the matter closed, it appears
that the Commerce Department,
which was not involved in Gen
Marshall's discussions with the two
committee heads, was following its
own policy. The Commerce organi-

Moves in Diplomatic Game.
The future pattern Of the world
actually is being made in the diplo-
matte game between the powers. In
the most momentous moves of this
game-the peace treaties-the U. NJ,
as a whole, is not even consulted.
The Russians have been playing the
diplomatic game with propaganda
bludgeons. But their actual moves
have been made with the logic of a
chess expert, who, in each move,
foresees the next one, while the
Americans have been playing largely
hit-or- miss.
In this game the future of Europe
will be decided by the future of Ger
many, and the meeting of the for
eign ministers this month may be
decisive. Mr.. Molotov's speech gave
a clue. AS the champion of German
unity and the right of the German
people to the existence of its own
state" he will premise in German
minds that entrance into the Soviet
new order alone is compatible with
united German national revival
He may suggest that the question
of unity be submitted to plebiscite

New Legal STAINS Bill Opposed
Bp W0mem'S club Federation
By Gretchen Smith
Women's Club Editor

Emphatic disapproval of the new
legal status bill introduced into
Congress last week as a compromise
to those seeking an equal rights
amendment to the Constitution was
voiced by speakers at meeting OF
the District Federation of Women's
Clubs yesterday.
Explanation of the new bill, intro
duced by Representative Edith
Nourse Rogers and Senator Taft
was presented to the District Fed
eration's Board meeting at the Wom-
ems City Club by Mrs. Leslie Wright
chairman of legislation for the Dis
trict federation, and by Mrs. Harvey
w. Wiley, legislative chairman of~the
General Federation of Women's
Clubs.
Relative to the proposal to ZAP
point a nine-member commission
to- study the social, economic and
legal status of women and to re-
view local or State Determinations
based on sex," Mrs. Wiley said the
program was merely means OF
further stalling and delaying passage
of the equal rights amendment. Such
survey was made several years
ago, Mrs. Wiley declared, point
ing out that the Seventy-fourth
Congress had published full re-
port on determinations" She
added also that the Women's Bu-
reau, Department of Labor, also
made survey of determinations
based on sex and had issued a
pamphlet on this subject.
"Why delay passage on the equal
rights amendment" Mrs. Wiley
asked.
The organization unanimously
passed q resolution reiterating its
support OF the equal rights amend
ment.
The federation also adopted a
resolution urging removal of all
temporary housing in the District
of Columbia "as quickly as perma-
nent housing may be provided" The
resolution urged that Substantial
program of housing construction in
the District be authorized by the
public and private agencies resron-
sible, and that Congress make. at
the earliest possible time, appropria-
tions for the operation of the Dis
trict Redevelopment Agency and the
necessarv land SURVEYS"
Several letters of interest. to the
federation from persons and Or
ganizations were read by Mrs. Ed
ward Covert, corresponding secre-
tary. for Mrs. Gertrude Parks, the
president. One letter, written to
