Some authorities suggested that It even amounted to a rejection of American complaints gainst Russian handling of the properties. Early in February the United States had reported to both Russia and China that it understood Japanese industrial assets were being removed from Manchuria by Russia and that those which remained were the subject of Russian proposals to China for exclusive control arrangements. In a reply to that note the Bovtet Union reportedly defined as war booty, and therefore subject to Russian seixure, all Japanese properties which had served the Japanese Army in North China The Chinese reported that the Russians bad, in addition to claiming Japanese properties under this policy, also proposed an arrangement for Joint Rusao Chinese ownership of remaining enterprises.

Thereupon, early last month, the United States sent a second communication to Moscow covering those two points and re atatlng American objections Bircho.ll Infant Dies James Francis Birch, five months old son of Vincent and Mary Palmatler Btrchall, MacDonnell heights, died this momlng in Vaa aar hospital.
