KOREA ON THE WAY TO RECOVERY

U.S. Aid Plan Sufficient

For Her Needs

Washington, June 14.—Mr Edgar Johnson told the U.S. House of Representatives' Foreign Affairs Committee on Tuesday that the proposed $150,000,000 Korean recovery plan could solve most of the economic problems of the new republic.

Mr Johnson, Director of the Economic Co-operation Administration's Korean pro- gramme, added that "remarkable progress" toward industrial recovery has been made by the South Korean Government since it took over from U.S. occupation forces last August.

Additional progress, he said, was delayed only by lack of funds and raw materials.

These, he said, would be pro-} He said the raw materialb vided under the proposed pro-feature of the programme also gramme for the coming flacal includes: year. He termed the pro- Framme "representative of the best Judgment of the Korean government, the ECA and the U.S. Army in Korea."

Mr Johnson said the "sense of unity of purpose" of the Korean people and government tops the list of what he called "the good things in the Korean picture." Others, he said, are "the com scientious and successful effort being made to mobilise power for Industrial recovery," Anancial situation that is "not ideal but satisfactory and will permit a satisfactory budget by 1950 with a good deal of austerl- ty," and the fact that the new Hovernment came into posres

ILO Comes In For Strong Criticism

ACCUSED OF APATHY &

INDIFFERENCE

Geneva, June 14-India, South Africa and Poland strongly criticised the Interna- tional Labour Office today when its 61- delegates met in plenary session here. Mr. Suresh Chandra Banerjee, chief delegate of Indian workers, accused the Office of "apathy and indifference towards the Asiatic coun- tries."

The Office concentrated too much on còn-/ ditions in industrial countries, at the expense of predominantly agricultural nations, he said.

Mr Banerjee said, "Tho Office's contacts with extra-European countries are in many cases fragile and non-existent.' This defect will have to be removed.
