Britain Diverting Shipping To Rush Supplies To India
London, May 31.
Mr Patrick Gordon Walker, Minister for Commonwealth Relations, said today that Britain had diverted 84 ships to carry vital grains to Indian ports during the Indian food crisis.
He told the House of Commons that Britain, as a large importer of food herself, had not been able to send food relief to India since the end of 1950, when 43,000 tons of Australian wheat bound for Britain was diverted to India.
Russians Could Call Off The Korean War Any Time-Sherman
Washington, May 31.
Admiral Forrest P. Sherman, United States Chief of Naval Opera- tions, said today that the Soviet Union could call off the war in Korea at any time, and might be inclined to do so as the United States became stronger.
Admiral Sherman said this when questioned for the second day dur- Ing the Senate inquiry into the dismissal of General Douglas MacArthur. Senator Lodge said that the United States was not sufficiently strong at the present time to put such pressure on the Kremlin.
