PUN AID TREATY
AFTER BIG 3 MEET
London, Jan. 13 (U.FO Pro
gress has been made in prelimi
nary negotiations for an Anglo
French 20-year mutual aid treaty
and both parties are studying
detailed proposals for a Joint
consideration following the im
minent "Big-Three" conference,
diplomatic quarters said tonight.
The British are taking the
view that relations between the
two countries are on a substan
tial verbal basis, making it un
necessary for any exceptional
haste in formulating a treaty.
The effect of such a treaty on
the other great powers, particu
larly the United States, is one
question that is making Britain
move cautiously , despite her
known willingness to sign a
treaty with Gen. Charles De
Gaulle.
The proposal of Senator Ar
thur Vandenberg (R., Mich.) for
a five-power treaty to keep Ger
many and Japan subjugated ex
cited relatively slight interest
In Britain beyond praise for its
flavor of internationalism.
Diplomatic observers com
mented on the vast amount of
study and discussion necessary
to conclude even a bilateral pact
not to mention one involving
five such diverse countries as
Russia, China, the United States,
Britain and France.
All major British diplomatic
moves have pointed toward the
settled British policy of bilater
al or regional agreements for
Europe and participation in a
world security organization. A
treaty among five great powers,
while accepted as a splendid
ideal, is not eminently a prac
tical device in the views of Lon
don diplomatic quarters.

OF
FOOD, DRUG 'GYPS'
DURING WARTIME
Washington, Jan. 13 (U.R)
The food and drug administra
tion warned tonight that many
wartime "departures from nor
mal" in handling of food, drug
and cosmetic supplies must be
viewed with skepticism even
alarm.
Food and drug production con
ditions are growing "progres
sively worse, it said. It reveal
ed that 1944 saw the highest
number of seizures and prosecu
tions for misbranding of drugs
since the enactment of the 1938
food and drug act.
"Only eternal vigilance will
make possible the avoidance of
serious difficulty, it said.
Increased food and drug ad
ministration pressure is being
exerted against:
1. Sale of contaminated food'
stuffs such as in bakeries oper
ating "under grossly unsanitary
conditions.
2. "Economic cheats" who
manufacture and sell debased
foods and drugs, use deceptive
containers and dodge price ceil
ings by short weights.
3. Indiscriminate "over-the-counter"
sale of sulfa and other
prescription drugs; marketing
dangerous drugs used to produce
abortions, and merchandising
cosmetics containing dyes injur
ious to the skin.
4. Rodents and Insects causing
millions of dollars of damage to
food supplies annually. s
5. New drugs, cosmetics and
so-called therapeutic devices.
