AMERICA PROTESTS TO NATIONALISTS AGAINST SHELLING

SHAH OF PERSIA IN AMERICA

Washington, November 16.

The Shah of Persia, on his first visit to the United States said here tonight that Fersia would repay American tech- nical and material aid by con- tributing "to the mosaic of world prosperity and the deepening of the cultural values of the West."

a dinner given in Speaking at his honour by President Truman the Shah said: "We are grateful for what has been accomplished in the past, for what is new in prospect, and for our hopes of even close co-operation and in- tensified help in the future."

The Shan invited President Truman to visit Persia and said that his noble efforts in the cause of peace had made a deep impres- sion throughout the Eemocratic world.

The impression was nowhere more marked than in Persia which, he said, desired nothing so much as to devote itself to its domestic problems without living in tear of another war.

Washington, November 16.

The United States despatched a swift protest to Nationalist China today on the shelling of the American merchant vessel Flying Cloud off Shanghai.

The U.S. Secretary of State, Mr. Dean Acheson, announced this at a news conference. Simul- taneously he struck out heatedly against the Chinese Communists.

Any consideration of American recognition of the Communist government of China is out of the question now because of their imprison- ment of the U.S. Consul General, Mr. Angus Ward, at Mukden, he said.

London, 'November 16.

Britain has told the Nationalist Government of China that at tacks on unarmed British merchantmen will be regarded as ille- gitimate and unfriendly even if they take place inside Chinese ter ritorial waters, Mr. Ernest Berin, the Foreign Secretary, said in Par liament today.

The Government considers that it is entitled to give naval protec- tion to British merchantmen outside Chinese naval territorial ̈waters and has told the Chinese Nationalist authorities that this will be done. Asked whether he will see that appropriate action is taken to make the protection of British ships effective, so that the blockade may be broken, Mr. Bevin replied: “I think I have done that. Two ships got out today.”

"The Chinese Nationalist Government claim that the measures- taken do not constitute a blockade but merely give effect to a domes tic closure order,” Mr. Bevin said. "The legal situation is in dis- pute."

He said that the Government has made the strongest represen- tations to the Nationalist Government.-Reuter,

He was asked what effect such action by the Chinese Communists would have on the issue of American recognition of their government.

Mr. Acheson replied tha: his questioner can easily imagine that it removes any possibility of considering that course.

UK Recruiting Of Women A Failure

London, November 16.

Efforts to recruit women workers from Western Europe for Britain's industries have attracted

only a fraction of the number that was hoped for.

Statistics disclosed by the Ministry of Labour tonight suggest that fewer than 2,000 women have been recruited into the textiles industry this

year.

The Ministry announced last March that it hoped to recruit 10,000 German

and Austrian

girls besides Italians and Belgians. Ą Ministry spokesman tald
