The appeal was made by French Delegate Georges Boris as the Uni- ted Nations Economic and Social Council launched a general de- bate on the economic commission for Europe. Boris said distrust between Rus-'i sia and the Western powers was { paralyzing European economic re- covery. He tlamed the failure of |the recent Three Power conference in Paris on this distrust and urg-/ ed that the big powers make every effort to develop “freedom from | distrust.” Speaking of Russia's contentions that the British-French plan of implementing the Marshall plan would interfere with national sovereignties, Boris said: “We hope this attitude will change when distrust disappears.” — e Exchange Service For Army Is Sef Up Now in Seaitle SEATTLE, July 29. — (@ — The 'Army has set up an exchange ser- 'vice here through which Seattle manufacturers and wholesalers can | sell merchandise to its 15 base ex- changes in Alaska, C.
