American Reactions To Britain's Most Modern
British Refusal To Ban Exports To Russia
Newspaper Claims Washington Has A Right To Protest
FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT
London, Sept. 14.
Mr Hugh Gaitskell, Minister of State for Economic Affairs, made a few concessions to American opinion in his out- line of the country's economic prospects under the strain of re- armament.
This was surprising, In view of Government's insistence that the degree of austerity this country would have to bear will be directly dependent on the amount of America aid we are to receive.

Whole West German Parliament Walks Out Of Bundestag
Bonn, Sept. 14.
The entire West German Parliament, led by the Chancellor, Dr Konrad Adenauer, walked out of the Bundestag this afternoon when a Com- munist woman deputy rose to denounce a declara- tion condemning the forthcoming East German elections.
As Grete Thiele, a miner's daughter, went to the rostrum to defend the Communist Party, de- puties rose spontaneously and hurried from the House.

The three Ministers Mr Dean Acheson (United States), Mr Ernest Revin (Britain) and M. Robert Schuman (France) - this afternoon planned to begin a general review of Far Eastern questions.
