(AH-Gen. MacArthur today post-.

polled the Manila surrender con-.

ference at Japanese request and‘ guaranteed safe conduct for mem- bers of the Imperial household fl,v_ ing to the battlefronts to enforce torders to "cease firing." |

The Japanese asked for a delay

,fn the meeting at Manila, at which

‘they will receive the terms of chp-'

lltulation, and the Supreme Com-

] mander of the Allied forces replied

that their messages had been re-

iceived "and are satisfactory."

i Gen. MaeArthufs reply was

surprisingly lenient for a. con.

‘ queror. but behind hirn was a vast array of Allied power and it was obvious he would not allow Japan to lake advantage of life tolerance.

In his reply he sent no new dead- line for the Manila conference, evidently in recognition of Emper- or Hirohltos problems in getting his flrebrand warlords to accept defeat.

The commander seemed bent on letting the Japanese solve their own problems f0 insure a minimum of hostilities before his occupying armies land on enemy shores.

The Japanese message said it might take as long as l2 days to make the ceasefire order effective on all the far-flung fronts. The Jnpmlesc gave no further reason for tho inability to send envoys to Nianlln as Gen. MacArthur had directed. but said the flight would be arranged “as soon as possible."

Labor Gov’t ‘Plans To Make iliasle Slowly

By noss MUNRO

LONDON, Aug. l6 — lCP Cable) --Britain‘s LubOl‘ Government evid- ently intends to "make haste slowly" in its nationalization pro- gram affecting the keystones oi til-c country's economy.

The suhsfilnce and tone of the Speech from the Throne Wednes- dcty, sketching Labor's program for tllc forzliculnim session of Por- lillnlcrlt, was interpreted here as indicating tiu; Government is not going to rush headlong into not- ionalization projects. There won't be an indusuini revolution over- night in Brit ‘n.

As prezlictcu. nationalization of coal mines and the placing under public ovrnerslllp of the Bank of England were specifically predicted in the Tilronc Speech. But nothing was said in rile Speech about the |nationulizclllctl the iron and steel indusi cs and oi’ transport lsys-tcznrr-F 1's vast rail, air and networks-which silrlrcd cqu" future of . coal mines and the Bzlnkrol England in Labor's elec- liion platform.

It was believed that the rc- signalion of Gen. McNaughton, mentioned frequently during recent weeks as a lkely ap- pointee for a diplomatic post, now is in the hands oi’ Prime Minister Mackenzie King.

An announcement of iilc cab- inet rcshitfiile “as expected to come following a lengthy cab- inet meeting today. but Mr. King lcIt his East Block office tonight without issuing any statements.

The Liberal Aizlncilcsler Guardian said it would be surprising. when the parlicml-ntary fight comes. if the proposals involving the coal mines and the Bank of England -“can bc made out to be desperately rrvoliltlonniy acts."

Winston (Linn-chill. opposition lender, said .:l ltlc House of Colm- molls today l~c~ would anuroach the coal mines . posals "in a sym- pathetic sjli. t" if convinced they would imprrrse production and lows or the pric of coal.
