WASHINGTON, Jan. 31. PRESIDENT TRUMAN and the French Premier, |

M. Pleven, in a joint statement today said that the United States and France would never neglect any genuine opportunity to settle international problems by negotiation. “Discussions between the President and the Prime Minister have shown again that no menace or manoeuvre will succeed in breaking our fundamen- tal unity,’’ the statement said. In Washington, in a 1,500 word communique issued seven hours after their final meeting ended, the leaders announced they had agreed that aggréssion must not be rewarded, or the menace of aggression appeased.

Republicans Will Try To Boycott Red Countries WASHINGTON, Jan. 31

The Republicans in the United States House of Representatives have decided they will try to bat Russia, Communist China and other iron curtain countries” from benefits and tariff cuts the United States may make as a result of agreements with free nations,

At a party meeting they agreed to support an amendment on that line when the House votes to- morrow on the Bill to extend the Reciprocal Trade Law for three more years,

In practice, cutting the duty on imports from one nation means a cut in duty on similar imports from all countries, This is be- cause America has so-called “most favoured nation’ under- standings with most of the world. That is a promise that no other nation will be favoured over the country with which America has such an undertaking, Repub- licans want to rule out that principle so far as iron curtain countries are concerned, —Reuter,
