Meanwhile according to another Washington source even before the february 1945, Yalta Confer ence when it was just about determined that Russia would enter the War against Japan tried to negotiate through Russia. There were Many strings to the proposal however As understood Here. Japan wanted to retain some of the captured territories which president Roosevelt and then prime minister Churchill had insisted All along could not be retained. In any event the Kremlin re fused to act As a mediary.

The., Kesselring offer was sail to have been made to an Ameri can officer of the office of strategic services. President Roose velt wanted to accept the Kessel ring offer. The russians however pro tested vigorously against going into any deals with Kesselring. The big three had promised there would be no separate peace acceptances. The whole thing fell through when Hitler transferred Kessel ring to the Western front. Kessel ring s successor had no ideas of surrendering. In the Light of political happen Ings in. Europe since , it is believed Here in unofficial quarters that the russians refused to dear with Kesselring because that would have permitted the British and american armies to get into Austria and Central Europe ahead of russian forces. As it turned out Russia occupied Eastern Europe and holds political Sway there now. As last resort . Government May army Coal mining to Ashington can gov eminent Heads Are consider ing having the army operate strip Coal mines but Only As an absolute last resort. Army engineers could keep the strip mines going As do the present owners by using larger Power scoops and beam Breakers. Strip mines Are those in which. Is close to the surface. Shafts tunnels deep mining experience Are not essential. The big question Back of any such move is whether it would provoke a sympathetic transportation strike if not a general walkout of organized labor. Combined with Coal from pit nines that Are not struck it is estimated that with army strip mining help tons a much of it Low Grade could be produced. The pre strike average of soft Coal production was about tons daily. This emergency Coal could with reporter visiting Southeastern Czechoslovakia finds by William Mcgaffin Bratislava Czechoslovakia have never done anything wrong. Living in that Frontier strip of South Eastern Czechoslovakia ceded to the hungarians by the 1338 Vienna award and returned to the czechs under the Allied nations armistice of 1945 have no particular desire to return to the land of their fore fathers. Indeed by and Large hungarians now living under the czech re publican regime seem quite Satis fied with the treatment accorded then. In my travels i have interviewed slovaks who., though As a people fear the hungarians and vant to rid the country of them As a pos Sibly troublesome minority individually seem Only to want to Send away those who made trouble Dur ing occupation Days. I have also interviewed scores of their Hun Arian neighbors. Both Peoples expressed them selves freely in their Mother tongues. Here Are some of their stories which seem to speak for themselves. It was horse Market Day As i drove into Dunajska Streda a City of population 30 Miles South East of Bratislava. I dropped into the dining room of the hotel partisan which was filled with czech army officers Ana hungarian Farmers. I questioned a number of the hungarians about the treatment they were getting. One was 46-year-old Rudolph Nagy who told me his was one of 22 out of 45 families in the nearby Village of Henze the who had been notified they must go to Hungary. He said he did t want to leave Czechoslovakia. I am Selling my horses to the army because they give me a better Price than i can get on the regular he said. He got for one horse. In the Village of Streda Nad Bodro gom two hours drive from Kosice Over washboard roads talked with other Farmers. There was for example 48-year-o 1 d Joseph co Rosy who is still living on a farm which hungarian officials took away from a slovak and gave him during the occupation. Why should i go he asked in response to a question about return to his Homeland. "1 and i have everything i want thirty six year old Andre Kiraly echoed this expression of Content ment. We live As. Well As the he averred. The slovaks have been very Good to said Stefan to Zitur 60-year-old hungarian Carpenter. My daughter married a hungarian police official during. The occupation and went to Hungary with him. She stayed a week and ran Back Here. The slovak police know she s Here but no one bothers slovakian thought about what should be done about their Hun Garian neighbors was pretty Well typified by the opinion expressed by Vincent Hanko. Hanko had a rough time during the seven year hungarian occupation. The hungarians took away the tobacco shop that had been Given him by the first czech re Public As partial compensation for loss of a leg in world War i. He has his shop Back again now. The slovaks took it from the Hung irian who had it during the occupation. Hanko would not expatriate All the hungarians. He would Transfer those who made his estimate is that Only about 10 per cent of those in his Village would be in this category. Out of the population of 45 villages in the Moldava District of which his town is a part Hanko hazarded the guess that 250 families had worked against the state during the these families should be sent away he opined because they Hungary will get this territory again some Day and will make trouble if they get a the help of Oil and Gas give the Coal using parts of the . Mini mum Relief from freezing but there would be Little left for Industry. There is where the government hair begins to turn Grey. The problems Are physical As Well As political. Some of the strip mined Coal could be hauled by army trucks. But the army lacks sufficient Drivers and maintenance mechanics for any Long Range or sustained hauling. Would Union truck Drivers haul the army mined Coal or walk off their jobs a. F. Whitney president of the brotherhood of railway trainmen is a sworn enemy of the Truman administration. It is doubtful whether Whitney would permit his trainmen to haul army mined Coal. There have been rumours Here that Philip Murray s . Unions might try to Clear up the ii Reby aiding the government.

The method is to turn the Money which Britain and the United states 3ave hitherto been fruitlessly Hay ing to Germany into a of rectifying investment. It is hoped that re payments can begin after 1949 by Way of Germany attaining a sur plus of exports Over imports. The big economic question is whether the envisioned amount of pump priming suffice to get the pump working. At the lowest agreement should put a term to the subsidies which Britain has had to provide Ger Man imports merely to keep the British zone alive on slum level. These subsidies or reparations which have recently been at the rate of a year and mostly in. Dollars were an almost intolerable. Burden on Britain. When More of Germany s imports can be obtained from steel ing or soft currency the Dollar Burden on Britain will fall sharply. If for example such sources provided a Quarter of the total Only half of Britain s Button would have to be in Dol Lars.

Unlike some countries which Are dependent on american exports Czechoslovakia has its own Coal the great problem is to find enough men to dig it. This manpower shortage has been complicated by the Transfer of More than sudeten germans Many of whom were Coal miners the czechs walked into this one with their eyes open. Understandably disillusioned with previous efforts to solve the Ger Man minority question presiden Benes in referring to the Transfer said we have decided to live i necessary a hard life but remain ing on our own just czechs and the manpower problem in the Oal shafts thus remains press no.
