In the proposed Japanese council all members, under the Russian plan, would have an equal voice and all would have lo agrco before anything could bo done. This means that an objection by any one could block action. The United States Is holding out for a council in which Gen.

The British threw a 25 pounder barrage against Indo nesians entrenched in pre-war Dutch-built concrete pillboxes in the area.
