Soviet Envoy Hits Allied Policy
In japan undU. S. Trade Curbs
Punyushkin's Stand
Hints Fight Within
Far East Commission
By John Scoli
As.eelot.d Pres. stoff Mrit.r

Soviet Ambassador Alexander S.
Panyushkin is critical of the job
the Allies are doing to prevent a
rebirth of militarism in defeated
Japan.
The new Russian envoy told a re-
porter in his first formal interview
here that he wants to draw serious
attention to the record of the IL
nation Far Eastern Commission in
promoting democracy in Japan.
I'm this regard the situation can
not be considered as satisfactory,
he said.
IN addition to his duties as Am
bassador, Mr.. Panyushkin also
serves as Russian representative on
the commission which supervises
Allied occupation policy toward
Japan.
May Prelude Russian Attack.
His criticism was interpreted by
diplomatic officials as the possible
prelude to a full-f1edged Russian
attack within the commission
against the policies carried out by
Gen. Macarthur.
Replying in person to a series of
questions submitted in writing by
his reporter "a days earlier, Mr..
Panyushkin also struck out at what
he considers discrimination by the
United States Government against
Soviet American trade. He said this
is something certain circles" in
the United States are trying to
develop.
"As far as the Soviet Union is
concerned" he asserted, 1T has
never refused the development of
trade with the United States on
conditions of normal business prac-
tice.'
Discrimination Charged.
But, the former Russian cavalry
officer added, American Govern
ment trade agencies are applying
controls "of a discriminatory char
acter" to trade with the Soviet
Union.

Isl. lawrence Seaway
Fight Opens in Senate;
Wiley Begins Debate
~ ths Associated Press

Senate debate on the bitterly
contested st. Lawrence seaway snc
power legislation opened today with
an assertion by Senator Wiley, Re-
publican of Wisconsin, that it would
increase national wealth "and re-
tire its own investment"
With the issue in doubt, the bill
calling for an estimated $500 ,000, ,00f
outlay went to the floor of the Sen
ate for an all-out test. 1t would
make the st. Lawrence River navi-
gable to ocean shipping and create
q 100000 horsepower hydro-elec-
trio plant.
This Is q revenue producing

not drain the Treasury" Senator
Wiley asserted. The measure pro-

This indicates Swiss traders were

condition.
Repercussions are Wide.
Repercussions Of the French move
were heard throughout the sterling
area, the worlds largest trading
bloc.
Directors of the Bank of Den
mark went into closed session. In
Capetown, where the Rand Stock
Exchange opened active and sharply
higher. market sources said invest
ors obviously felt that devaluation
of the pound must come. The same
trend was noted on the Cairo ex-
change. The exchange chairman,
Emile Levy, said pound sterling re-
action usually follows franc deval-
uation.
In Singapore, a great international
trading center. markets were closed
for a Hindu religious holiday. How
ever, financial sources said traders
were nervous. Malayan money Is
based on sterling.
Price cutting in foreign markets
was suggested in many circles as
a means for Britain to protect the
pound and her economic recovery
program, with its emphasis on
greatly increased exports.
In France, only dollars and
Portuguese escudos will be put on
the free market at once. Britain,
however. fears that the pound and
other currencies will be squeezed by
leaks and black market operations.
Dollars Worth More In Paris.
The currency reform, worked out
by French Finance Minister Rene
Mayer, took effect with publication
today in the of1icial journal of the
governments exchange sterilization
fund.
It was announced last night in
Paris, in London and in Washing
ton, headquarters of the Interna-
tional Fund.
The new franc will have two
prices. The first has been fixed by
the Government at about 2l4 to the
dollar. The second will rise or fall
with quotations on new free
money market in Paris.
There has been no legal free
money market in Paris. There has
been a black market. The latest
quota tion there Is 337 francs to the
dollar.
This is how the new plan will
apply to different classes:
French exporters can trade half
their dollars for francs at the fixed
rate at the government exchange
office. They must trade the other
half at the quoted rate on the free
market. In any case, they get more
francs per dollar; so they can lower
the dollar prices of their goods.
French importers bringing in es-
sential goods can get dollars for
francs at the fixed rate. Those
bringing in nonessential goods must
get them at the free-market rate.
The government decides what is
essential and what is not. In this
way it can apply some regulation Of
imports.
Pounds Value Also Greater.
Foreign tourists and capitalists
will trade their dollars for francs
on the free market. where it will be
worth more than at the old official
exchange rate.
In the same proportion as the
dollar, the value of the pound in
Paris was increased. The old pound
was worth 480 francs. The new one
is worth, at the fixed rate. 864.

The President usually had q good
story to tell that he had just heard.
Then, for about an hour, we could
talk over the problems that faced
us. Invariably we were alone.
In conversation he was always
considerate. When we sometimes
differed on important questions, he
never showed impatience as I
argued the opposite side.
Foreign Affairs Main Topic.
Our conversation dealt almost
entirely with foreign affairs, but I
did not hesitate from time to time
to express myself in a general way
on domestic affairs as well. On
several occasions I spoke something
like this:
From my youth on I've studied
liberal teachers such as Locke, Mil
ton, Pitt, Burke and Gladstone on
to the Lloyd George school. I fol-
lowed through under the liberal
leadership of woodrow Wilson. In
Congress I had a labor record be-
tween 80 to 100 per cent. chiefly on
progressive legislation. Still I can't
help but feel that you're going too
fast and too far with certain of
your domestic reforms. There hasn't
been suficient time to adjust them
to conditions in the country. The
people haven't had time to digest
them. I think that periodically the
country needs time to accustom
itself to some of these drastic, new
policies. And, in a few instances.
the policies themselves seem too
drastic"
I also made 1t clear to him that I
was not in harmony with perma-
nent policy of Government spending,
having always stood for a fixed
policy of balanced budgets based on
progressive and practical policies on
which suitable national progress in
all essential respects could be sound
ly based.
The President always heard me
through with entire respect. Then
he continued eating or smoking,
without saying anything. After a
few seconds of silence he or I men
toned something else sand the con-
versation veered in another direc-
ton.

dents to use the committees facili-

had exhausted all sources of pos

ing call includes the date of re-

being out of fuel.

important foreign policy. With the
exception of his conferences with
Mr.. Churchill and Marshall Stain,

times, he sent word to me inviting
me to come over to his office for
luncheon, so that we could talk over
questions and conditions undis-
turbed.
