Hollywood, Aug. 4-Hollywood sceptics took with s grain of salt Ingrid Bergman'a sunouncement that she was through with Alms because, they said, she liked to not loo much (o quit.

One press agent who has known her since the start of her fabulous career, said: “I don't bellevo it. I'll bet anything she'll be back in movies next year."

Her friends were not surprised she was giving up ber husband of 12 years, Dr Peter Lindstrom, apparently to marry Roberto Rossellini, director of her supposed swan- kong film, but they pooh-pooled the statement that the picture would be her last.

"She will be back," scoffed one of her co-workers. “Ingrid's always loved to act. I think she was upsel over the recent publielty. She always was interested in publl- elty and was troubled if it wasn't good."

Reports reaching NKO, Studlo say "Stromboli" may be the greatest film of her lifo. Welter Ari Colun, sent by RKO to the island, wrote back: "This will be the most exciting movie she's ever made.

Washington, Aug. 5.-The United States Secretary of Stato, Mr Dean Acheson, today advanced a five-point programme to encourage and support “an independent, liberally governed and free China.

Mr Acheson submitted the plan at a press conference. It came three hours after the State Department release of a White Paper describ- ing the failure of the Chinese Nationalist Government to retain the con- fidence of the Chinese or to resist the overrunning of China by the Com- munists.

THE "Correction Labour Codex" of the Soviet Union, which the British de- legation produced to the United Nations Economic and Social Council recently, leaves no doubt of the existence of a system of forced labour in Russia which can be described only as mass slavery and as harsh an Instrument of tyranny When the charge was as ever existed. made originally in the United Nations Assembly last year, it was hotly denied by the Soviet represențative, M. Pavlov, who called it a “monstrous” lie. This 'week, in the Economic and Social Council, M. Acutiunian, the Soviet delegate, sought_to_defend the system by naming several irrelevant reasons for the British charges, the most startling of which

that the accusations smokescreen to cover the activitica of the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff nów ⋅ visiting Europe to co-ordinato Western Union defence plans.

Of the "Codex," M. Arutiunian said it was the most humane of its kind and had as its alms the "ro-education' of the people." The defence that in every civilised country convicted criminals are.com- pelled to work in some form of confine- ment must bear . examination of the 'nature, and character ́· of the practice.

Between the Institution of correctiva.. labour for criminals in normal civilised countries and that in the Soviet Union- and formerly In Nazi Germany-there is a. profound difference. In the first case, those subjected to it are persons duly convicted after an open trial in n court Sof law for breaches of the known inwa

In British countries, for example, the famous principle of Habeas Corpus pro- vents a person being held in prison or in confinement by the police or any branch. of the government without a definita charge being made at once against him-

and then only in order to be publicly tried as speedily as possible. Only in time of war is the government given power to hold suspects without trial. But under the Soviet "Codex”—as under Hitler in Germany-persons are directed to "corrective labour" who have been sentenced thereto by a decree administrative organ. The freedom of every Soviet citizen is thus permanently, at the mercy of the government and ifm. officers who can, by an administrative decree, sentence him to confinement, exile or forced labour without a charge, without a trial and without an appeal. This system, of which the Bastille was a symbol, has always differentiated des- potlem from a free society. The second outstanding feature of the "Codex" is that a citizen can be deprived of freedom not for any definito offence," but simply In order to put him in conditions which debar him from the possibility of com- mitting acts which inflict harm on the Socialist constitution." Especially ear- marked are "the unstable elements among the workers." There could be no moro complete absence of personal freedom outside of chattel slavery. It is dragooning of the whole nation by fear of prison and labour camps into completo and silent submission to the will of its rulers, Information produced to the Economic and Social Council estimates that some eight to ten million people are undergoing "correction" in camps in Russia remotely exiled from their homes. How many more millions have been brought under humble "correction" or have died in the process is dimcult to estimate but easy to imagine. Little wonder Soviet delegates to the United Nations are trying their best to prevent the setting up of a commission of Inquiry.
