Thomas announced that if any

of OPA beyond July 1 he will seek
to remove all controls over farm

State department officials were
reported working at a swift pace,
meanwhile, to get through an

the Japanese in the hope that its
announcement might soften some
southern opposition that has aris-

tion to a British empire proposal
that the base cover only the five
years before the outbreak of the
war. During thst period India
bartered cotton to Japan, while the
United States was virtually frozen
out of the market.
