vanished hastily into the interior.
Other communist attempts to
land on Matsu Island off China’s
east coast 100 miles northwest of
Formosa and Hainan off the south
coast, were repulsed, the Nation

France bestowed a large mea
sure of domestic sovereignty on
the Indochinese state of Viet Nam.
French forces in Indochina have
been opposed since the war’s end
by the communist forces of Mos

The Arab News Agency in Can o

pied Palestine into his Kingdom
of Hashemite Jordan. The royal
decree announcing this appeared
in the Pordanian official Gazette

Jordan forces occupy almost all
Arab-held Palestine, with the ex
ception of a small strip near Gaza
held by Egypt and a small sliver
in Syrian hands. Jordan occupies

Wednesday. January 4, 1950
An informed London source re
ported yesterday the British La
bor government has plugged up
the persistent drain on Britains
fund of American dollars.
A resulting improved financial
outlook, this source said, will pave
the way for early elections.
The chances have been increas
ed for elections in February or
March.
The informant said Britain’s re
serves were increased $100,000,000
in the three months since the
pound was devalued from $4.03 to
$2.80. This means that devaluation
has achieved its immediate pur
pose. he added.
Russia’s stern rebuke of neigh
boring Finland that she is harbor
ing more than 300 Soviet war
criminals was interpreted in Fin
nish political circles as a move to
bolster the Finnish communist
party in the coming presidential
election.
Russia in a bitter New Year’s
note said Finland violated her 1944
peace treaty by furnishing war
criminals with false documents
and names.
Russia is expected to register
two protests in the United Nations
security council this week. Under
a rotating system the council is
presided over this month by Dr. T.
F. Tsiang, delegate of Nationalist
China. The Russians are expected
to ask that Tsiang step out in fa
vor of a communist Chinese dele
gation. The Soviet Union is also
about to repeat her attacks on the
Yugoslav delegation claiming the
Yugoslavs do not represent the
countries of Eastern Europe.
Britain is expected soon to rec
ognize the communist Chinese re
gime of Mao Tze-Tung. Three
leading British newspapers yester
day criticized Washington reports
that the United States might ex
tend further aid to Chiang Kai
Shek. The newspapers said the U.
S. policy might strain future Bri
tish-American relations.
A bill was introduced in the
Philippines Senate today to create
immediately a civil defense organ
ization “in view of the imminence
of World War III.” The Philip
pines lie close to Formosa.
The WAFD party, mildly re
formist, won an overwhelming
victory over other -Conservative
parties in yesterday’s Egyptian
elections. The lop-sided vote—
running as high as 10 to one for
the Wafdists was considered a re- [
buke to the Saadist party and in
directly to King Farouk for the
poor showing made by Egypt in
the Palestine war.
The saadists were the major
party in the last parliament which
wras controlled by a coalition gov
ernment. King Farouk has been
opposed by the Wafdists. He dis
missed them from office in 1944
and has often ruled with a strong
hand through Saadists and coali
tion governments.
A responsible source in Tokyo
said the American policy on For
me. su will not be finalized until
the joint chiefs of staff visit Tokyo
n February.
It has been widely reported that
the U. S. state department has told
its representatives abroad to an
ticipate the fall of Formosa to the
communistg.
General Douglas MacArthur is
said to place great emphasis on
Formosa—Chiang Kai-Shek’s last
. stronghold. The general and other
army, navy and air force heads
consider formosa of vital military
importance in America’s Pacific
defense lines.
