Nimitz For Hawaii
Statehood
WASHINGTON, <>P)—Fleet Ad
miral Chester W. Nimitz, chief of
naval operations, said today he
could see “no objection from a
military or naval standpoint to the
Hawaiian Islands achieving state
hood.”
“Before World War II,” Nimitz
told the House public lands com
mittee, "I entertained some doubt
as to the loyalty of American cit
izens of Japanese ancestry in the
event of war with Japan. From
observation during World War II,
I no longer have that doubt."
Delegate Bartlett asked if there
was any reason why statehood
would impair defense.
“I shouldn’t think so Nimitz re
plied.

Snowstorm Covers
Big Fonr Meeting
t. _
MOSCOW, (/P) — Secretary of
state Marshall gave a new push
today to the United States pro
posal for a four-power alliance
against Fermany. But he was as
sured the support of only Britain’s
Ernest Bevin at the foreign minis
ters council met in snow-mantled
Moscow to consider peace treaties
for Germany and Austria.
The ministers opened the mo
mentous session with little cere
mony as a snowstorm swirled over
the capital of the Russias.
Foreign minister Georges Bi
dault of France was reported to be
tentatively agreeing to support the
four-power pact sponsored by the
United States only if it was part
of a broad pattern to keep Ger
many impotent. He insisted tha‘
the other parts must include polit
ical separation of the Ruhr from
Germany, a central government,
and a low level of industrial pro
duction.
Marshall told correspondents he
was going to press for the German
disarmament and demilitarization
treaty originally proposed by
James F. Byrnes, his predecessor.
Bevin is known to favor the
Byrnes plan strongly.
Marshall disclosed that he had
stressed the importance of the pact
in his stopover at Paris. But
French sources said France would
be able to agree to the proposal
only on the conditions ment:oned.
The Secretary of State declined
to speculate on the length of the
Moscow meeting. Authoritative
informants said, however, that
Marshall hopes for rapid progress
—assuming the first two or three
weeks prove progess is possible.
