I RIMS “VOICE OF AMERICA”
The “Voice of America,” hailed by many , as the
effort of the United States to counteract the “big lie”
of the Communists with the truth, broadcast through
out European regions, ran into difficulties when its
appropriation came before the House of Represent
atives.
The members of the lower House, by an unre
corded voice vote, slashed the $97,500,000 sought by
the State Department to $9,5330,30. The sentiment
seemed to be that the management of the information
programs was poor and the planning vague.
It is very difficult for average persons to pass on
the value of such broadcasts. It is possible, of course,
that propaganda of great value gets through the iron
curtain and that accurate news stories help the cause
of the free nations. It is again possible that no such
results are obtained.

Department said.
The United States intends, a de
partment spokesman made plain,
to go ahead with the present pre
parations for a settlement for
Japan, with or without Russian
participation.

15 other nations in working out
treaty terms and it is hoped to
have a draft ready for signing
within a few weeks.
Russia, in a note handed to

Kirk at Moscow yesterday, pro
posed calling a council of the for
eign ministers of the U. S., Russia,
and Red China to meet in June or j
