Washington, Nov. 11.--Cur- rent U.S. policy toward China appeared to be as fluid as the rapidly shifting fortunes of Chiang Kai-shek's beleaguered government. Officials would not speak for quotation, but let it be known that they foll American policy could not be fixed permanently because of China's shifting situation."
However, the following points seemed fairly clear:

Paris. Nov. 11-The Anglo-American plan to give the Germans control of the Ruhr coal and steel industries has provoked such a storm of protest in official circles in Paris that it was understood today that the Government may reconsider its position on the six-power recommendations on Germany drawn up in London.

It is very unusual for the head of the State to make a pronounce ment on current polley and the faet that he did so may be teken as an indication of the strength of the French objecilons to the Anglo- American proposals.
BACK AT HIS CRITICS
London, Nov. 11. Yugoslavia's Marshal Tito struck back at his Cominform and Russian critics today in a speech claiming that the Yugoslavs them- selves laid the foundation for Communisin there and that any "bargaining" and argument over who did it was absurd.

elected him honorary member today.

Among the accusations flung at Marshal Tito by the Cominform in an attack spearheaded by the Rus sian Communist Party, was that the Yugoslav Tenders sought to play down Russia's role in Communism in favour of their own nationalistle brand.

He was making an Armistice speech at a ceremony at Compeigne. His specch followed the French Government's protest last night to the British and American Govern- ments against the Anglo-American decision to restore the coal and steel undertakings in the Ruhr to German ownership.
He exclaimed: "To that catastrophe, the errors of the post- war period of 1910 led." He added: "It would be a renewal of one of those errors and it would be a most extraordinary paradox if, because of the material and moral damage wrought by Germany throughout the whole of Europe, unyone should think of reconstructing Germany before-her-victims,-relieving-her-of all reparation obligations and giving her, without safeguards or control, a political and economic power which ishe could once again turn against
