STRANGE SOVIET VIOLATION

L

Opposes Anti- Red Bill

Washington, May '13.--- President Truman today an- nounced his flat opposition to a bill now before Con- gross which would impose drastic restrictions on Com- munism in the United States.

Such a law, if passed, would be "entirely.contrary to our principles", he said.

President Truman said that if any organisation or group of people in the United States were aiming at overthrowing the Gov- ernment, there were laws on the Statute books to deal with it.--Reuter.

Australia Must Produce More Food

Canberra, May 14-Australia would have to answer some very serious questions in the not far distant future unless she made material food contribution to the East, said the Director General of Agriculture. Mr F. W. Bulcock, addressing the Australian Institute of Agricul- tural Science.

OF DIPLOMATIC

SECRET

London, May 13.-The motives which prompted Moscow to blaze the details of the talks between General Walter Bedell Smith, the United States Ambassador in Moscow, and the Soviet Foreign Minister, M. Vyacheslav Molotov, remain a mystery. The disclosure of the actual facts of the incident has only heightened it.

Observers here, following the United States official denials, that specific talks between Russia and the United States were ever contemplated, sug- gest three possible Soviet motives.

1. To give a wedge of distrust between the countries of Western Europe and the United States with the object of halting progress In the Marshall Plan and drawing off United States support for the Wes- tern Union.

2. To confuse public opinion in the United States at a moment when Congress in due to debate military appropriations and when milltary backing for Western Union defence Is under discussion.

pro-

3. To provide Communist paganda throughout the world with à sensational Soviet gesture of re- conciliation to be played tip s proof that the Western powers, and not Russia, are responsible for the

tension. exlating

It is also suggested that Moscow may be genuinely anxious to bring about a relaxation of the tension in Berlin and Vienna for political reasons.
