Red Reply 10 Britain
Agrees 10 Negotiation
To Improve Relations
Soviet Armed Forces
Only Equal to 1899,
Russiun Note Asserts
By the Associoted Press

LONDON, Sunday. Feb. 25.-
Russia told Britain last night that
she is ready to negotiate with
Britain over their outstanding diff
ferences.
The British had indicated readi-
ness to talk with Russia to improve
mutual relations In a note Febru-
ary II answering Soviet charges
that Britain had violated the 1912
Anglo-Soviet treaty of friendship
and alliance.
Russia replied to this last night,
attacking Britain's motives in ac-
cusing the U. S. S. r. of extensive
military mobilization and aggres-
sive aims.
Then near the end, the Russians
said:
I'm view of what has been said
above, the Soviet government can
not regard the statement of the
British government with full con-
fidence.
Nevertheless, the Soviet govern
ment is ready to enter into such
negotiations. endeavoring to use
all possibilities for improvement
of relations with Great Britain.
The government of the U. S. S. P.
will highly estimate any step of
the government of Great Britain
genuinely aimed at the improve
ment of relations between our
countries.
Replies on Armed Forces.
During the course of the recent
series of sharp notes between the
two countries, the British said the
Soviet Unions armed forces nu-
merically exceed those of all the
Western countries put together.
Moscow said last night that the
facts were that the Soviet armed
forces, including land, air and
naval, were just equal to those
she had prior to the beginning
of World War II in 1889.
However" Russia said in her
note, broadcast by the Moscow
Radio, three members alone of
the North Atlantic aggressive pact
the United States, Britain and
France-have at present in their
armed forces, including ground,
air, and naval forces, over 5,000,-

opinion over procedure threatened
to delay for several days emerg-
ence of the new wage rules.
Economic Stabilizer Eric John
ston was said to be ready to &c
along with nearly all of the
changes demanded by labor. How
ever, he has refused so far to put
the changes into effect himself as
the union chieftains want.
Wants to Send 1t Back.
Mr.. Johnston feels, it was under
stood, that he should send the
formula back to a reconstructed
Wage Sterilization Board with in
structions or suggestions that the
policy be modified. He was de-
scribed as even willing to tell the
board just where the policy should
be changed.
Labor so far has fatty refused to
participate in operation of wage
board unless Mr.. Johnston first
approves the type of control for
mula it desires. The economic
stabilizer possesses the authority
to amend board recommendations.
Some of the labor officials even are
accusing Mr.. Johnston privately of
refusing to take the responsibility
for the change.
The three labor members re-
signed from the tripartite wage
board after the six public and in
dustry members passed along to
Mr.. Johnston over union objec-
tions the formula.
Would Allow Increases.
1t would allow wage increases of
up to 10 per cent above levels of
January Is, 1850 and provide for
an upward adjustment in line with
the cost of living as of April Is.
Contracts providing for adjust
ments as living costs rise would be
continued in effect until June 30
provided total wage increases since
January Is, 1850 did not exceed 10
per cent. The same would apply to

Services Committees fairly bristled
with warnings of the danger
Americans would face if they try
to live lin dream world of our
own here in North America"
After the hearing adjourned,
Senator Wherry, Republican of
Nebraska, and sponsor of a reso-
luton to curb commitment Of
troops, gave reporters this COM
ment on Gov. Dewey's testimony:
Il think he was called as an ad-
ministration witness to smear any
one who would protect American
boys"
The New York Governor stepped
into the role of a leader for all
out cooperation with other free
nations, in the struggle now going
on within the Republican Party
over foreign policy.
This conflict is expected to
come into sharp focus early this
week when the committees hear
Republican Senators Taft and
Wherry tomorrow afternoon, and
former Republican President
Hoover Tuesday afternoon.
Substitute Resolution Due.
Mr.. Hoover and Senator Wherry
want to concentrate on an air.
sea defense of Western Europe
to avoid a land war against Rus
sia. Senator Taft is willing to send
some additional troops to Gen.
Eisenhower's North Atlantic de-
fense force, but with a percentage
limit on the American contingent.
With the hearings likely to end
by Wednesday, all signs point to
Senate adoption of a resolution
supporting the general policy Of
helping to defend Western Europe.
as substitute for the Wherry
Resolution. The Wherry proposal
would ask the President not to
make any troop commitments un-
til Congress adopts a policy on the
subject.
Military leaders have testified
only four more divisions will be
sent. to back up the two already
in Europe, but administration
leaders will resist any attempt to
write any number or ratio into the
affirmative substitute.
Dewey Hits Wherry Plan.
Gov. Dewey levelled to sharp
attack at the Wherry resolution
in particular, and at the doctrine
of isolationism in general. Both
Senator Wherry and MIR. Hoover
have denied that their sea-air de-
fense program is isolationism.
Before crowd that filled every
seat and lined the walls of the
big marble Senate caucus room,
Gov. Dewey calmly answered a
barrage of questions by Senator
Wherry, but gave no ground. At
one point he told the Nebraska
Senator:
I'm for taking up the (Wherry)
resolution at the earliest time.
and beating it by the biggest pos
sible vote, so that the world will
know we are not going to turn tail
and pull out of Europe"
Gov. Dewey first read a pre-
pared statement, highlights Of
which were:
/. Congress probably has the
power to forbid sending troops
overseas, but such action would
be "unwise" because it would
probably end the effort Europe is
now making to defend itself. 1t

bordering Soviet RuSsia's empire.
The announcement did not men,
q ton just where in Japan the. two
divisions will be stationed.
There have been persistent ru-
morS in recent weeks of a Soviet
buildup in it's Far Eastern military
forces, including fleet of hun
dreds of ships ranging from land
ing craft to cruisers. The Soviet
zone extends down along the
Kurile Islands a short distance
from Hokkaido, northernmost of
the japanese islands occupied by
American forces.
The American occupation forces
in Japan were stripped months
ago of virtually everything but
small constabulary force to pro-
vide combat troops for the Korean
war. The two divisions, which
have been training in camps in
this country since last Septem-
ber, will continue their training
overseas. the announcement
stated, adding that they would
be kept intact"
Time for Furloughs.
The 40th, commanded by Maj.
Gen. Daniel H. Hudelson. has been
in training at Camp Cooke, Calf,
and the 45th CThunderbird) Divi-
sion. under command of Maj. Gen.
James c. Styron, has been at
Camp Polk, La.
The Army said many of the Off
GERS and men of the two divi-
sions will have sufficient time to
take short leaves and furloughs
before boarding ships for the Far
East.
The 10th and 45th Divisions are
two of the four National Guard
divisions and two regimental COM
bat teams which were brought
into Federal service in Septem
ber. Two other Guard divisions
were Federalized last month.
Presumably the 40th and 45th
Divisions, like most of the others,
were at about so per cent of the
authorized strength of $4,000 men
when Federalized. Since then the
Army has been building them up
by adding recruits and draftees.
Additional modern equipment also
has been given them to fit them
for combat.
Whether some of the other
Guard divisions might be sent to
Europe as part of the buildup of
American forces there as part of
the composite Western Europe de-
fense force under Gen. Eisenhower,
has not been disclosed by the
Army.
Marines to Begin Rotation.
Defense Secretary Marshall has
said that four more divisions will
be sent to Europe and there have
been reports that these move
ments would take place in a
matter of weeks. There is the
equivalent of approximately two
divisions in Europe now.
Although none of the Guard
divisions is believed to have COM
pleted training, the Army appar-
entity has decided that at least
some of them can be used for
non-combat duty overseas, mean
while continuing their training
program. And they could be
rushed into combat should an
emergency arise.

lowed by a few hours a Marine

AS a battalion commander in

His nickname of "Chesty" comes
from the pouter pigeon expansion
