Marshall Plan Delays Depression

Belgrade, July 20. The belief that the Marshall plani

Europe's to restore economy would "delay the econ- mic depression in the United States," was expressed today by Henry Wallace

former United States Vice-President and Secretary of Commerce, in an interview with the official Yugoslav news agency, Tanjug, in New York.

Hu told the correspondent of Tanjug that he opposed the Mar shall plan if it "divides the world into two parts" and If "the primary aim is to revive Germany for the purpose of waging a struggle against Russia."

FIVE POINTS

Tokyo, July 20.

The first indications of the line that the talks on a projected Japanese peace treaty between General Douglas MacArthur, the Supreme Allied Commander in Japan, and Dr Herbert V. Evatt, the Australian Minister of External Affairs, would be likely to take, were given today in what is regarded as an officially inspired article in the "BCON", the British Commonwealth Forces newspaper here.

Loan Would

Halt China Inflation

Scattle, July 21... Dr Tien-Fang Cheng, former Chinese Ambassador to Ger- many, declared in an interview here on Sunday that he felt the billion dollar United States loan to China would halt inflation there if used as a reserve on which to peg new currency.

Cheng, who resigned as Ambas- snder to Germany in 1938: le study- Ing conditions in the United States and Canada after serving as China's representative at the recent UNESCO conference in Paris,

He asserted that China has joined hands with America in combatting the spread of Communism. "Free dam-loving people all over, the world -nrefighting Communism.in one way or another." he said. "In China it has developed into actual combat".

The article lists as follows the five main points which it says Australia would probably favour at the peace çonference. ` ..

1. Control and supervision of the peace terms ensuring that Japan of will not imitate the example Germany after the first World War, and so menace again the security of the Pacific and Southeast Asia,

2. Reparations and the disposal of the remaining elements of the Japanese flect.

3. Agreement on reparations must be such as will not cripple economy, "economy" means the provided peaceful development of non-war-

ke industries.

4. Adequate compensation to each Allied nation to cover physical losses and personal Injuries to servicemen, the sufferings of war prisoners and civilian internees.

5. Full agreement with General MacArthur that there must be an early peace with 'safeguards ensur- ing Japan's development as a peace- ful, democratie state. In this there must be a particular stress on review of the Japanese constitution, the encouragement of trade unions and progressive educational mea- sures and drastic reforms of land tenure.
