“ . . . designed to unleash war,
against the Soviet Union.
“Millions of people fin the west)^
realize this pact means war on the1
Soviet Union and will never fight
against the Soviet Union.”
Russia and her satllites have an
estimated 5,171,000 men now un
der arms, or about 1,750,000 more
than the eight nations originally in
the Atlantic accord. Italy, Den
mark, Portugal and Iceland may
join. Rut if a'l the armed forces of
the European countries west of
the iron curtain were in the alli
ance, the west would have only
5,508,000 men.
Western naval power js vastly
superior. The air picture isn’t
clear, but U. S. know-how would
probably tilt the scale in the west
ern countries’ favor. And then
there is the atom bomb, which the
U. S. alone* is known to have. It
appeared to have been decisive in
the war against Japan after the
American navy and air force had
; the country on the ropes.

An allied order, put out yester
day, outlaws the Soviet east mark
in the American, British and
French sectors of Berlin.
The new decree, expected for
some time splits the city’s econo
my completely. It means western
Berlin now has one currency—the
west mark; and eastern Berlin has
another—the Soviet mark. The
west is worth far more than that
of the east.
The Russians already have made
it a crime to possess west marks
in their area. There were reports
they would not retaliate against
the latest western move in the cur
rency battle.
The currency question has been
one of the main issues in the Sov
iet blockade of Berlin. Several in
ternational discussions have' failed
to solve it.
The western order was declared
effective immediately, but the east
mark will still be good in western
sectors for rationed foods this
month and will be expected in
Aoril for rent and taxes.
President Truman is expected
to ask Congress for a free hand in
allocating arms to Western Eu
rope under the proposed billion
dollar military aid program.
The program is expected to go
to the U. S. Capitol about the same
time as the North Atlantic secur
ity treaty. Mr. Truman will send
the Atlantic pact up for Senate ap
proval immediately after it is
signed in Washington by an ex
pected 12 nations, two weeks from
today.
The Senate alone—by a two
thirds vote—must approve the
new treaty if America is to take
part.
The treaty allies the United
States, Britain, Canada, France,
Belgium. Holland, Luxembourg,
Norway and possibly other west
ern nations in promises of mutual
aid in the event of an attack on
any one of them.
The full text of the treaty was
published in all Moscow newspa
pers yesterday. Moscow radio sta
tions broadcast it to all provincial
papers which are certain to print
it.
Several big Moscow papers car
ried dispatches from abroad re
porting opposition to the pact.
Russia has argued that the pro
posed alliance is “aggressive” in
nature.
Parties making up France’s co
alition cabinet are leading in re
turns from yesterday’s county
elections, but it took their joint ef
forts to overcome the vote of Gen.
; Charles de Gaulle’s followers, who
polled the biggest single party
vote. The communists ran second
in the single party totals. Both
communists and deGaullists got
about three per cent less than in
the last elections.
Israel and Lebanon have agreed
to sign an armistice. It is the sec
ond such agreement arrived at be
tween the new Jewish state and
one of the Arab nations that vow
ed to destroy it when Israel de
clared its indpendence last May.
The other agreement was signed
at Rhodes last month between Is
rael and Egypt.
The Israel-Lebanon agreement
is to be signed Wednesday. Terms
of the pact were not revealed. At
Rhodes, Dr. Ralph J. Bunche, the
acting U. N. mediator announced
Syria had agreed to enter armis
tice negotiations with Israel.
Trans-Jordan-Israeli negotiations
now are in progress.
A British foreign office states
man said Trans-Jordan has asked
Britain for military aid in defend
ing its southern borders with Is
rael.
Former Chinese premier Sun
Fo, who heads the nationalist
committee to talk peace with the
. communists, was indicted today
'on a charge of misappropriating
funds.
The control yuan, auditing body,
which also has the power of im
peachment, forwarded the indict
ment to acting president LiTsung
Jen and the supreme court.
The Soviet government made
public in Moscow today a 10-year
agreement signed with the Kore
an people’s democratic republic of
Russia sponsored North Korea. No
mention was made of any military
assistance.
Rioting broke out in London’s
East End last night when followers
of Sir Oswald Mosley clashed with
communists and other opponents.
Seven police were hurt in the
scuffle and 34 persons rounded up.
Mosley’s union movement is an
outgrowth of his prewar fascist
organization.
Extroverts are said to favor red
colors.
