6. @. P. Assai|s Plan
To LET British Use ECA
For Canadian Wheat
By the Associoted Press

Republican Senators have sharp
" challenged a plan to let Brit
ain use Marshall Plan dollars to
buy wheat from Canada at a time
when the United States has much
more wheat than it needs.
Senator Butler, Republican, Of
Nebraska told the Senate yester-
day it would be fragrant at

Recovery Act for the administra-
ton to make such an agreement
In its efforts to help Britain ease
her dollar crisis.
Senate Minority Leader Wherry
said in a statement that the 60
ahead to Britain on wheat would
violate the intent of Congress and
cost the American taxpayers $175,-
100000.
Senator Wherry said that be-
cause the British will not use
Marshall Plan dollars ito pur-
chase wheat in this country. the
Commodity Credit Corp. will have
to spend an additional estimated
$175.000,000 in price supports dur
ing this year.
World Bank Head Hits Plan.
On the other hand, Eugene
Black, American president of the
48-nation World Bank, said all
Marshall Plan nations should be
permitted to use their Marshall
Plan dollars wherever they wish.
An Agriculture Department Of.
ficial estimated that the United
States has about 500,000,O00 BUSH
els of wheat for export beyond
this country's own needs. This
amounts to nearly half OF this
years United States crop of l.
129, 100000 bushels.
Malone Fears Complications.
Senator Malone, Republican, Of
Nevada told the Senate that much
more than Canadian wheat is in
volved in that agreement. He
said it would permit use OF Eco
nomic Cooperation Administra-
tion dollars to buy a wide range
of goods from any place.
Republican Senators Butler and
KEN of Missouri said that to al
low Britain to use American aid
dollars to buy wheat from Canada
would violate the recovery act.
This act requires farm commodi-
ties to be purchased in the United
States when they are in surplus.

have passed"

Austerity to Continue.
Meanwhile, the British govern
ment began to plan new winter
of austerity for its people, despite
the three-nation accord in the
Washington dollar talks.
Official sources predicted that
the drain on the country's gold
and dollar reserves-already far
below the $2,OO0,000,000 danger
line set months ago by the gov
ernment itself-will go on de-
clining the next few months,
though at a slower rate.
Prime Minister Attlee sum-
moned his leading ministers for
a discussion today on just how to
apply the Is per cent ($400.000.-
OO0) slash in dollar spending.
Cut Ordered in July.
That cut was ordered last July.
Government leaders had hoped
they might be able to modify it,
or even withdraw it. as a result
of the three sided talks in Wash
ington with the United States
and Canada.
The fact that it is going to be
put into force for the next nine
months was interpreted here az
meaning Britain had failed te
achieve her whole objective.
However, the statement ir
Washington of Sir Stafford that
no additional dollar import cuts
were being considered was taken
as meaning that the talks hao

but Mr.. Black was much more
specific.
Tariff Changes Asked.
Asserting that American policies
"are still basically inconsistent
with it's position as the greatest
creditor nation of the world" Mr.
Black called for modification OF
American tariffs in the interest OF
both a healthy world economy and
American pfpspeldty. ;
This country has 'reduced~"its
tariffs greatly since the early
1930s, he said, "but at certain
crucial points they remain a bar
rier to the import of foreign
goods" He added that "it does
not make good sense for America
to encourage production Of goods
for the domestic market which
would more economically be i'm
ported"
Pressure for currency revalua-
ton came in the annual report
of the international Monetary
Fund directors. Without men
tioning Britain by name, it sug-
gested that deficit countries

Rates Held Out Of Line.
Camille Gutt, the Belgian f1nan-
cier who heads the monetary fund
said that present money rates are
so out of line that they are seri-
ously handicapping the sale OF

Mr.. Black said he failed to see
how devaluation could be avoided
explaining later that this was a
personal view.

that party leaders fear they will
be driven underground.
Tells of Recent Meeting.
Maurice Maxim, author of this
statement, said the three men
from Moscow attended a meeting
of top American Communists q
| few weeks ago in a farmhouse at
Beacon, N. Y.
He said they gave party line Or
ders and have power to reorgan-
ize the party in this country, II
necessary. in an effort to save it
from being outlaWed by Congress.
Malkin described himself as a
Russian born machiniSt of Brook.
lyn, N. Y. He said he helpeu o.
ganize the Communist Party in
this country in 1919, changed his
mind about it while in Sing Sing
prison for activities in a furriers'
strike, and left the party in 1887.
During the last year, he added,
he has been employed off and on
by the immigration and Naturali-
zation Service as an expert wit
ness in deportation hearings.
Entire Leadership Present.
Maxim said of the alleged party
huddle at Beacon:
Zone of the party members
present gave me the information
as to what was going on at the
meeting. Present at that meet
ing was the whole group of the
top leadership of the Communist
Party. The information that I
received was that there were
three strangers there. They
didn't look like Americans. They
kept quiet except for one who de-
livered the line of the discussion,
actually to the orders. No names
were mentioned, and up to the
present time he doesn't know the
names of those people.
"In my opinion, this commits
sion was sent here because the
party in the United States finds
itself in danger of being liquidat-
ed; that is, of going underground.
That question of going under
ground is quite an important
question to the Communist In
ternational. Quite a lot of peo-
pie in Government may disagree
with me on my idea Of under
ground. They feel that going un-
derground will just drive the
agents underground so their iden-
tity will not be known. Our ex-
perience has been different in
1919 and 1920"
The witness testified that the
number of card-carrying COM
munist Party members in the
United States is $4,000 to 100000.
but that about 100000 people in
this country are under the Com
munist discipline"
BY that, he said he meant they
are members of organizations con-
trolled by the Communist Party.

Satellites Compound
Violations Of Human
Riqhts, Acheson Says

charged today that the Commu-
mist governments of Bulgaria
Hungary and Romania have
Compounded" violations OF hu-
man rights by refusing to carry
out peace treaty procedures 1of
settlement of disputes over such
matters. A..
The next step in calling the
three Soviet satellite regimes te
account for their "callous dlsre-
gard of international obligations
will be up to the United Nations
Mr. Acheson told a news con-
ference.
He said the western powers
have exhausted every step open
to them under the bulgarian
hungarian and Romanian peace
treaties for enforcing treaty pro-
visions pledging the Balkan gov
ernments to preserve religious
press, political and other basic
freedoms.
The United States and Great
Britain charged the three Balkan
governments with violating those
peace treaty commitments months
ago. This was denied by the three
satellites. The western powers
demanded formation OF commls-
sions to consider the dispute.
under peace treaty machinery.
Statement Read to Press.
Mr., Acheson read to his news
conference today a statement
pointing out that the Balkan
countries have refused to cooper
ate in establishing these commits
sions, and asserting:
In the view of this Govern
ment, they have compounded then
earlier violations by this subse'
ouent refusal to carry out the
procedures for the settlement OF
disputes. obligations which they
specifically assumed in the peace
treaties themselves.
The attitude shown by these
three governments call into
question their good faith in sign
ing the treaties and provides
further illustration of their callous
disregard of clear international
obligations"
Mr.. Acheson said the problem
is on the agenda of the United
Nations General Assembly session
opening in New York next week
He recalled that the Assembly
passed a resolution last April call
ing the attention of Bulgaria and
Hungary to their treaty obliga-
tions. The United States opposed
any further U. N. action at that
time, pending efforts to carry out
the peace treaty machinery fol
settlement Of disputes.
Further Action Up to U. N.
With all the steps under the
peace treaties exhausted, Mr.
Acheson said today. further ac-
ton now is up to the U. N. He
said the Bulgaria Hungary prob
lem already is on the Assembly
agenda, and that Australia has
proposed that the case OF Ro-
mania also be discussed. ,...-
THE assembly," Mr.. Acheson
added, will have before it the
full record of the disputes and will
be able to judge for itself what
further action to take"
Mr.. Acheson said he plans to
leave Washington Sunday night
or Monday morning to be present
for the first few days OF the AS
sembly session. He hopes then TO
take 10 days or so off for rest. ne
said, and then attend further
meetings of the Assembly.

especially on problems concerning
Greece, Albania and Spain.
Information said major ques-
tions facing the Western powers
In Germany and Austria probably
would not be discussed by Mr.
Acheson and MIR. Bevin until Mr.
Schuman joins their talks. -
The objective, Mr.. Acheson said
Is to analyze the situation, see
what is evolving. ( and exchange
ideas on what nfgnrsbe done. =
When asked II conclusion of a
Japanese peace treaty was con-
sidered urgent. Mr.. Acheson re-
called that this Government so
considered it two years ago when
1t proposed a meeting of all the
powers that had been concerned
In the war against Japan to work
out procedure for concluding the
treaty. This was blocked by Rus
sia. which refused to agree to par
ticipation of any but the Big Five
nations in the first talks.
Mr.. Acheson said it still is an
urgent problem and that the whole
matter is being gone over again
to see If any new ideas on how to
proceed can be found.
He was asked if there was any
possibility of the Western powers
going ahead without Russia. He
replied that the great objective is
to bring all nations concerned with
the matter into peace conference.
He added that he did not think
any Western statesman had got
to the point of deciding what to
do If a way could not be found OF
accomplishing that objective.
Guests of Senators.
After their meeting early this
afternoon, Mr.. Acheson and Mr.
Bevin were to be guests, along with
British Chancellor of the Excheq-
uer Sir Stafford Cripps of the
Senate Foreign Relations Commit
tee at lunch. Mr.. Acheson said
this was arranged as friendly
meeting, to give the committee
members opportunity to meet the
British leaders and that no busi-
ness was on the program.
Following the Acheson-Bevin
conference yesterday, diplomatic
authorities forecast development
of British and American anti
Communist policies in the Far East
along largely parallel lines.
Agree on Other Points.
Indications were that Mr.. Bevir
and Mr.. Acheson were also in gen.
eral agreement on several othel
points repeatedly touched on ir
their first session Of political talk!
here yesterday. These points
included:
1. The Western powers shoule
move slowly and cautiously on th'
question of recognition Of Chi
nese Communist government i
and when such a regime il
established.
2. Nationalism is the most pow
erful force working against tn
spread of communism into othel
Asiatic countries; it should b.
encouraged by the Western ma
tions both for that reason ant
because it is in line with thei
established policies.
8. Western capital should b
put to work on a wider seal
than at present to raise the liv
ing standard of non-Communis
Asiatic peoples.
Divergence on Trade Seen.
On one point-trade with tn
Chinese Communists-diplomat
speculated there might develop
divergence OF British and Amer
lean moves in the next fey

EIGHT important undertakings or
agreements were reached during the
conference. which closed last week,
between British. Canadian and Ameri-
can officials in the effort to solve
Britian'- economic and financial DIFF
fcultics. First: Britain viii now be
permitted to spend her Marshall

supplied by this country. Third:
British ships will carry more Mar
shall Plan and other American goods
to Europe. and American ships less.
Fourth American synthetic rubber
policy will soon permit Britain SELL
ing more natural rubber to the
United States. probably at a higher

permitted to discriminate against
American goods in the pound ster-
ling countries, making more difficult
