ern Allied economists estimated
today.

current production from the East

In addition the Kremlin physi-

Such American Expenditures dur

to reach $700 million.
Since the Russian policy of re-
parations from current production
was initiated. in the winter of
1946-47, it has been opposed by
the Western Allies, especially the
United States. Their objections
were wasted so far as curtailing
the tribute.

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-Henry A.
Wallace's Progressive Party mildly
criticized Russian foreign policy
today in move apparently aimed
at bringing Red-fearing voters
into the third party fold.
Delegates to the Second Ma

adopted an indirect rebuke to
Communists by a one-sided voice

bate.
The controversial wrist-slapping
statement said in effect that the
Soviet Union, as well as the
United States, has made mistakes
in foreign policy. and that the Pro-

Russia"
Mr.. Wallace demanded such ac-
