Japanese Perverted By American Detective Stories, Says Moscow

The latest Soviet complaint against the United States is that the Japanese are being perverted by American de- fective stories and crime movies. This solemn charge. was made in the Moscow Literary Gazette.

To Probe Un-Chinese

Activities

The Shanghai City Council recently passed a resolution to form an Un-Chinese Activities in- vestigation Committee, patterned after a similar House of Representatives the United group in, States, to

expose and uproot all underground activities that run against Chinese national in- terests.

The proposal was sponsored by Hsu Chi- ching, prominent banker and vice-chairman of the and 37 City Council, other councillors.

A preparatory commit- tee will be formed, con- sisting of leaders repre- senting various walks of life. The Un-Chinese Activities Investigation Committee, when

While he is convinced that war with Russia can be avoid- ed, the Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court, Mr Robert Jackson, warned that: since the war, "the drift of the world has been more towards Russia's system of government than towards that of the United States."

Mr Jackson told the Dartmouth That magazine "Japanese

The first major control efforts were mude by the League of Nations. under which they were extremely effective. Now that the League of Nations has dissolved, narcotic con- trol work is being carried on by the United Nations, principally through Its Economic and Social Council.

The Council's right-hand in deal ing with narcotics is the 13-nation Narcotics Commission, which meets several times each year. The Com- mission acts as world watchdog over narcoties control, continuously re- vlewing world efforts to check the drug tráme.
