BURMA ACTIVITY IS STEPPED UP
United Nations Hold Three Footholds; Japs Retreat In Chinese Push.
By UNITED PRESS The “forgotten front”—Burma— showed increased activity this week and today the united nations held three small footholds in a country which seemed completely conquered by the Japanese a year ago. A Chinese communique yesterday revealed that Chinese defenders of Yunnan had repulsed all Japanese attempts to drive into China's southernmost province and were counter-attacking the enemy on Burmese soil. The Japanese were declared to have retreated from six to 13 miles south of the border after suffering many casualties. . ° Japanese in Western Burma
The portion of Burma invaded by the Chinese is the Telo river area where Burma extends the farthest east, forming a wedge between China ‘and . Thailand. Chief Japanese base in the sector is at Kengtung. In the extreme ‘western edge of Burma, there ‘is a ‘Briitsh army which Ras maintained its hold for five months against Japanese counterblows, but which ‘has been unable to capture the Japanese base at Akyab. The northern portion of Burma never was captured by the Japanese, who extended their conquests only about 50 miles beyond Myitkyina. So far as is known, however, no important united na-

WASHINGTON, April 2 (U. P).
| —Secretary of the Treasury Henry
Morgenthau Jr. will present to-an extraordinary joint session of three senate committees next Monday a four-point tentative plan for postwar international’ currency stabili- | zation, It was learned also from treasury sources that all Latin American nations except Argentina have been invited to participate with the united nations in Washington conferences on a final stabilization program, The tentative monetary proposals, to be presented in executive session to the senate’s finance, foreign relations and special post-war planning committees, will be based on these principles:
Lighten Nation’s Burden
1. Provision for orderly adjustment of currency values that may be necessitated by basic changes in thé economic and monetary position of some countries after the war. 2. Freeing the balance of payments of a number of countries from pressures they cannot and probably will not bear. 3. Provision of machinery for maintenance of stable exchange rates while nations adjust themselves ‘to changes in their international economic position. 4, Provision of a mechanism under which exchange rate changes can be effected by multilateral innational agreements. Apparently the United States strategy is to present its “plan” in the form of proposals for consideration of -united nations’ financial ministers in conferences here, so that if and when agreement is + :

reached the result can be called a “united nations plan” for postwar currency stabilization.
2 Billion Dollar Fund
When Morgenthau appears before the senate committees, he is expect~ed to lay the ground work for his future request that the exchange stabilization fund of $2,000,000,000 and the president's power to devalue: the dollar be extended for another two years beyond June 30.
It was disclosed authoritatively, in this connection, that the administration does not now contemplate further devaluatién below tke present 59 per cent gold content. ° Although Morgenthau revealed that he would present stabilization proposals to the three senate committees next Monday, both Chairman Walter F. George (D. Ga.) of the finance committee and Chairman Tom Connally (D. Tex.) of the foreign relations committee. denied that they had scheduled such a conference. George also is chairman ‘of the special post-war committee. George, however, lunched with the president yesterday and then called a special secret meeting of the Democratic members of his finance committee.

STALINGRAD’ IN
TUNISIA HINTED
British Believe Nazis Plan No ‘Dunkirk’ Removal Of Afrika Korps.
By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent LONDON, April 2.—Developments in Tunisia indicate that Adolf Hitler has ordered Nazi ‘Field Marshal Erwin Rommel to attempt a “Stalingrad” stand rather than a Mediterranean “Dunkirk,” it was believed today. Naturally the allies do not know Rommel’s battle plans, but pretty definite conclusions can be drawn from this situation: 1. An allied invasion opening this year now is as sure as anything can be. 2. Unless all signs fail, the invasion will come along the soft underside of the axis. 3. The Nazi aim must obviously be to delay the invasion as long: as possible. 4. Rommel is putting up the hardest kind of fighting in his retreat, giving up ground only under the strongest pressure. 5. The Nazis are still shipving men and supplies to Tunisia, which they hardly would do if they planned to pull out shortly. In view of the dangers and difficulties of extricating men and materials from Tunisia under an allied sea and air pounding, it is hardly doubted that the Nazi high command would prefer to utilize its investment in the Afrika Korps
