Japan Peace Treaty
Gets Wary Approval
From Britain S House
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Nov. 27.-Britains s
House of Commons approved
ratification of the peace treaty
with Japan last night, but Prime
Minister Winston Churchill'S gov
ernment warned it could clamp
on quotas, tariffs and discrimina-
tory measures should japanese
trade cut too deeply into British
markets.
Board of Trade President Peter
Thorneycroft told the House
Britain new is extending to Japan
most = favored nation treatment,
but We are under no obligation
to do so. and we will not tie our
selves to do So"
Asserting that "the threat of
japanese competition in the fu-
ture is great and grave" he add
ed: I'VE are free to impose quotas
or put on tariffs or diScrimina-
tory conditions against japanese
trade"
The vote-which the King for
mally accomplishes-for ratifica-
ton OF the pact was 382 to 33,
with left-wing Laborites vigor-
ouSly opposing the treaty because
|of Japan's threat of competition
with Britain's textile and pottery
industries.
The United States, these dis
ISenters contended, is reviving
Japanese industry to reap sub
stantial profits from new Amer
lean investments. However, the
Labor Party's leadership-which
while still in power signed the
treaty in San Francisco-ioined
the new government in defending
1t and said treaty-imposed trade
restrictions against Japan would
have been impossible to imple-
ment.
Under the most favored nation
policy Britain extends to a nation
the best trade terms she gives any
other nation.

He has sent out invitations to all National Committeeman to attend the elec- tion meeting or send their proxies on October 31 At the bottom of the invitations, however.

 The nation possesses cat population of about 21000000 according to the society, which points out that fifty per cent of the felnes cared for by individual hold down jobs' in stores fac tories, etc,
 The society is concerned about the other half Of the cat family, the unemployed cats It suggests that people follow the slogan of the week and adopt cat'
 The cat, doubt, performs useful function in the elimination of mice and rats It would be well for the nation, again with doubt, if there less mice and rats. Consequently, the cats the less rats and the less loss to the public through the depredations of the mice and rats.

New, Tiny FWS Planes To Help Stop HauIs From Small Lakes

A few "sportsmen' who have been flying into, small lakes which are almost inaccessible by air to the men of the Fish and Wildlife Ser vice and doing illegal hunting and fishing are going to find it a little tougher in the future, according to Urban C. Nelson, of wildlife re- search.
 Nelson said that delivery is ex- pected of two new small planes and said that these planes would land in as small an area as any private planes now in the Territory. He said that some known yiolators oI the fish and game laws have been jumping in and out of small lakes where planes of the Service could not land.
 One of the planes, both of which are Pacers built by Piper, is being delivered by John Bail, veteran pilot of the refuge branch from Washington, D. c. Ball is also air craft supervisor of the Fish and Wildlife Service
 The two new planes are being ferried from Washington, where radio and other equipment was in- stalled. One will be used for wild- life research and investigation; the other for law enforcement work in the Anchorage area. They are four place plane patterened after the Super Cub, but have a much higher cruising speed.
