Meanwhile, sweeping reformis in foreign trade methods have been proposed.

Here is the present dilemma,

according to Commerce Departe ment statisticians. The United States is buying foreign goods at the rate of four and one-half billion yearly and selling to for eigners at the rate of tine and one half to 10 billion.

Officials reported that If the conclusions bear not that Italy and Austria need additional food, they will ask UNRRA's nine nation central committee: 000,000,000. to divert shipments, scheduled for more fortunate countries.

Any such move by the United States virtually is certain to bump into strong opposition from the Russian-Yugoslav} committee members.

Both countries fought bitter ly although unsuccessfully dur ing the last wecke of the UNRRA conference against American demands for "lexi- bility" in apportioning UNRRA's remaining $626,000.- 000.-Associated Press.
