Thursday he gives further insight regarding what causes Russian suspicion of the Western Allies.

SAN FRANCISCO Last Fall itj leaked out that there was a drastic difference of opinion between the State Department and the Treasury! over a soft peace for Germany, and. after several weeks of discussion. President Roosevelt definitely threw his weight with the Treasury in favor of a hard peace. Top War Department officials, influenced by the atrocities com-' mitted against American and A1- lied prisoners, finally agreed with the president, and even the State Coming! NEXT WEEK! May 2-3-4-5 sion. Naturally this means that either the United States or Great Britain could block such removal, since both sit on the commission, i At this meeting, Assistant Secretary of State Clayton argued that American policy should favor leaving factory equipment and machinery in Germany so she can get back on a sound economic basis.

He argued that Germany would need to import cotton to manufacture clothes and should be per-mittied to have enough exports to pay for the imported cotton. Clayton is the biggest cotton exporter in the world, and did a heavy business with the Nazis before the war.) UNFORTUNATELY. THE RUSSIANS ARE ALL TOO FAMILIAR with the attitude of the State and War Departments toward them Unfortunately, also, some observers believe this distrust of the U. State Department is one reason why the Russians demand a strong. ail-Communist Poland.

Director Frank Broadway of the State Department of Industrial Relations, said Thursday 1.346 of the 32,265 ex-servicemen had received adjustment checks between Sept. 4 1944. and April 14 this year. The checks totaled $231,295, an average of less than $200 for each eligible veteran.

Broadway, whose department by agreement with the Veterans Administration is processing readjustment claims, deduced that most veterans are not inclined to rely on the government, but are anxious for and finding employment. He cited decline this Spring in the number of checks issued. In the week ending Feb, 17. payments went to 5iil veterans. By April 14 the number had dropped to 388.

Sen. Pepper Reveals Unpublished Letter Written By Roosevelt TALLAHASSEE. Fla. UP) -Franklin D. Roosevelt, looking to I the San Francisco conference ex-1 pressed the hope public opinion would recognize that under our theory, nations are co-equal and i therefore any treaty must represent compromise." This was disclosed in a heretofore unpublished letter read by Sen.

Pepper ID, Fla.) before a special meeting of the Florida Legislature held as a memorial to the former president. The letter was written to Pepper three days prior to Mr. Roosevelt's death. I like to feel that we have really accomplished marvels in the matter of both our domestic and foreign policies in changing the point of view of a lot of people toward more libera! trends, not only here but throughout the world, he wrote. The letter was sent in reply to one from Pepper on the much-debated confirmation of assistant secretaries of state.

In it Mr, Roosevelt said he believed that the Senate ought to be consulted in these appointments, but that the president should do the spade work of negotiating (treaties) and original nominating of certain officers. "What is needed is the removal of the political point of view on the part of some of the presidents and many senators," the letter said. German Food Stocks Reported Very Low Assistant J.

Specifically, they argued against the removal of Nazi factories, machine tools, plant equipment or goods out of Germany.

And they have been especially interested in the War Departments survey of the damage done to German war plants by U. S.

planes, a survey to be undertaken by a group of bankers and top insurance executives. including Henry C. Alexander. vice president of J. P.

Morgan; Fred Searles. president of several J. P. Morgan mine companies; Franklin DOlier, president of the Prudential Life Insurance Company, and Robert P. Russell, president of Standard Oil Development Company.

Considering the manner in which Standard Oil of New Jersey collaborated with Hitler's cartels even after the war broke in Europe, and considering how the J. P. Morgan branch bank collaborated with the Nazis even after Pearl Harbor, you cant blame the Russians for wondering whether this survey actually isn't for the purpose of getting a line on German industry and building it up after the war.

Naturally they can't have a hard peace if they are to build up Germany. so they don't want German factories apd machine tools carted off to Russia. Another factor making the Russians suspicious is the British demand that food which the Russian Army finds in Germany be used to feed the German people rather than to feed starving Poles and Russian slave laborers.

Shortly before they left London, both Foreign Minister Eden and Sir James Grigg, British war minister, took the position, in secret talks with U. S. officials, that food found in Germany must be used to feed the Germans, not Polish and Russian civilians. The British argument is that if German food is diverted to the Poles and Russians, the Allies will have to import more to feed the Germans FINALLY.

And anyone listening for 30 minutes to their conversation about the next war and building up Germany as a partner in that war can understand why the wrongly accused us of a deal to permit the American Army to enter Berlin first. This is the kind of underlying suspicion which must be killed immediately and permanently if the machinery of San Francisco is to bring about permanent peace.

While pretending to use the phone he would steal such objects as purses, pen and pencil sets, overcoats and desk clocks.

In one place he even took a large fan while attendants were busy. Two of the overcoats were stolen from attorneys, a gold watch was stolen from Dr, L. J. Johns and a $700 bank deposit of cash and checks was stolen from the Rolls Candy Company, 2405 Second Avenue, North, according to the officers. who said Leslie admitted most of the thefts.
