VESSEL’S SAFETY REFUSED BY JAPS Wilil Not Promise Safe Conduct For Liner Grips holm Before June 16 WASHINGTON, June 11.— W) — The Japanese have refused to promise safe conduct for the liner Gripsholm until June 16, the State Department said today, and there fore its trip to Africa with several hundred Japanese from this coun try has been postponed. Also contributing to the postpone ment is the fact that the United States government has failed to re ceive from the Japanese govern ment the list of American nationals to be exchanged out of Japanese occupied China. The Japanese diplomatic and consular officials and other Japa nese nationals already are aboard the Gripsholm in New York harbor and will remain aboard the ship in expectation of the arrival of the missing American list later. The Gripsholm is expected to de part on a rearranged schedule on or about June 16. In accordance with exchange arrangements pre viously negotiated it will land its passengers at Laurenco Marques in Portuguese East Africa, where they will be exchanged for Ameri can officials and nationals from Japan and Japanese - occupied areas. drottixgholm LISBON, June 11.— (£> —The Swedish diplomatic exchange liner Drottningholm arrived tonight with Axis diplomats and nationals from the United States.

TRANSPORT REVAMPED CHICAGO, June 11.—UP) —Secre for war, said tonight America’s oil for war, said tnight America's oil transportation system had been - revolutionized to meet conditions brought on by the fight against the Axis. “The oil companies, the rail- ] roads, and the truck operators , have entirely revamped, within a . single year, an oil transportation system that required a quarter of : a century to develop,” he said in a speech prepared for delivery be fore the Central Motor Freight As sociation. “That, I submit, is a transporta tion revolution. Without it, the east ern states long ago would have been in the grip cf an oil famine. In peacetime. Ickes said, 95 per cent of all oil used on the seaboard w'as transported in tank ships but Britain’s need for tankers, plus the menace of submarines, has put the , burden of railroad tank cars and , motor tank trucks formerly used j for short hauls. Ickes estimated that tank trucks, , by freeing railroad tank cars for ( long hauls, indirectly were making possible the movement of about j 200.000 barrels of oil a day to the Atlantic seaboard. By mid-May, he ( said, the railroads were pouring , more than 700,000 barrels a day ! into the east. 3 u. s shiFsinkT FOE SUBMARINE 1 (Continued from Page One) in the south Atlantic several days ago while a spotlight played on the ship’s Swedish flag was disclosed today with the arrival of 20 sur vivors.

The other was spread liver a large triangle south of Nan chang. The Chinese high command ac knowledged that the invaders had captured Tsungjen, 60 miles suoth of Nanchang, but said they met stiff resistance which developed in to a bitter battle near the town. Central Daily News reported that 2,400 Japanese had been killed in two other fights along the south ern and southwestern borders of Shantung province, more than 500 miles to the north. Meanwhile the Japanese increas ed their aerial onslaughts. F o ur planes dropped bombs in the heart of Changsha. A Chinese spokesman said that despite Japanese gains into north ern Burma, the land transportation link between China and India “re mains passable.” U. S. AND RUSSIA SIGN WAR ACCORD (Continued from Pafe One) ing and interpreting the provisions of the mutual aid pact emphasizes that: “The agreement reaffirms this country’s determination to continue to supply in ever increasing amounts aid to the Soviet Union in the war against the common enemy. The agreement also pro vides for such reciprocal aid as the union may be in a position to supply. “But no matter haw great this aid may prove to be, it will be small in comparison with the mag nificent contribution of the Soviet Union’s armed forces to the deieat of the common enemy.” The ceremony of signing took place at the State Department only a few hours after the White House announced that Soviet Foreign Minister V. M. Molotov had been in Washington and discussed with President Roosevelt and his ad visors “fundamental problems of cooperation of the Soviet Union and the United States in safeguarding peace and security to the freedom loving peoples after the war.” GREAT BRITAIN TOO LONDON, June 11.— IIP* —Britain and Soviet Russia have made an historic pledge to keep an armed peace against Germany after the Nazis are beaten in this war and have renounced territorial greed or meddling in the internal affairs of other nations, the government an nounced today. Disclosing the terms of a solemn treaty designed to last for at least 20 years, the British Foreign Sec retary, Anthony Eden, told the House of Commons the story of last month’s trip to London and Washington by V. M. Molotov, and of the conversations which—in both capitals—resulted in a “full under standing” on “the urgent tasks of creating a second front in Europe in 1942.” The treaty itself was signed May 26, five days after the Soviet Vice Premier had reached London, and just before he left for the United States. It consummated the negotiations of an alliance which took place in Moscow in December of 1941, but it went much further than that. Not only did it take cognizance of Russia’s urgent needs in her fight for life against Germany; it also laid down an unprecedented basis for European security after the war is over. Russia, it was understood, made a major concession under the per. suasion of the United States am bassador, John G. Winant.. She agreed not to press her earlier de mand for a guarantee of her pre war Baltic frontiers. The two contracting parties promised: 1. “To afford one another mili tary and other assistance and sup. port of al. kinds in the war against Germany and all those s t ates which are associated with her in acts of aggression in Europe.” 2- To enter no negotiations with a “Hitlerite government or a n y other government in Germany ihat does not clearly renounce all ag gressive intentions,” and to make no separate peace whatsoever with Germany or her Allies. 3. After Jhe war. to “take all measures in their power tc ren der impossible the repetition of ag gression and violation of peac» by Germany or any of the states' as sociated with her in acts of ag gression in Europe;” to give each etem r11 military suPPort in the after t?eerwaarny re“ the fight 4. “To work together in cl«se and friendly collaboration a fter the re-establishment of peace fox the organization ef security a nd economic prosperity in Europe. They will take into account the interests of the United Nations in these objects and they will act in accordance with two principles: of not seeking teritorial aggrandize ment for themselves, and of non interference in the internal affairs Df other states.” 5. To give each other all pos sible economic assistance a f ter the war and to join no coalition directed at one or the other of :he signatories. A foreign office communique, read to the House of Commons oy Eden, contained the reference to a second front. For obvious reasons, there was no elaboration. Japan nowhere was mentioned n the treaty because first, she is not at war with Russia, and sec sndly, Russia, fully involved in a Eight for'life on her European fron tier, is loath to give Japan cause :or war. RADIO PASSES IT UP NEW YORK, June 11.—W— The Berman radio, barely mentioning ;he British-Russian mutual assist ance pact itself, went to lengths today to argue that informed quar ters in Berlin had known for sev eral days about Vyacheslav Molo tov’s visit to the United States and Britain. If the Germans actually knew of the Russian foreign commissar’s travels they had singularly failed to exploit their knowledge. Nothing was forthcoming on the subject from Berlin until well after the announcements had been made to. day in London and Washington.

(“Comrades,” the announcer said, “an open word is imperative in the face of the mass murder of Lidice. If we don’t do away with the gangster band of Nazis very soon, if we wait until Hitler is defeated on the field of battle, then the fiood of revenge will break down on us. No affirmation that we had nothing to do with the Nazis will help us then.”) The Czecho-Slovak protest fol lowed shortly after one broadcast by General Wladyslaw Sikorski, president of Poland, agianst “mass shootings” of Poles, “torture of tens of thousands” in concentra tion camps and “deportation of more than 1,500,000 people.” “Only by the announcement, of retribution,” he said, “and the ap plication of reprisals whenever pos. sible can a stop be put to the rising tide of madness of these German assassins.” General Sikorski said the terror wave had “assumed vast propor tions in Poland” since the visit of Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler hundreds of mass executions earlier in the spring He asserted which school children were forced to witness, had occurred. Meanwhile, official Netherlands circles, in London declared they had information of a German plan to uproot 3,000,000 Dutchmen and settle tHen in German - ccupied western Russia. They expressed 'confidence, however, that the scheme was doomed to failure. Under the German plan a new corporation, called the Netherlands East company, has been organized and given a monopoly on a Dutch settlement in western Russia. Netherlands circles said the plan had a two-fold purpose: di verting Dutch attention from the loss of the East Indies and set ting up a bloc of western Euro peans in Russia as a buffer against the Slavs. “All previous attempts to inter est the Dutch people in settling the conquered areas having fail ed, the Nazis are offering this grandoise scheme,” one source said. “It is ridiculous.” TOTAL DESTRUCTION CHARGED TO NAZIS (Continued from Pace One) lion Soviet citizens residing in towns and villages and the illegiti mate classing of them as prisoners of war. “Destruction of Russian national culture and the national culture of the peoples of the Soviet Union and the forcible Germanization of Rus sians, Ukrainians, White Russians, Lithuanians, Latvians, Estonians and other peoples of the U.

Of itself, the loss was not, how ever, deemed a vital setback for the British and their allies. , The Germans said the British had lost 24 tanks in their latest counter-attack against German and Italian troops.
