Trouble in Central Asia

Inc news just released from Mos
cow on disturbances in Sinkiang
and Outer Mongolia reveals another
item In the series of Soviet diplo-
matte moves which increasingly
mystifies the world at large. The
circumstances are as strange as the
implications are disquieting.
In the first place. the matters re-
ferred to occurred months ago,
though no intimation of them has
previously leaked out from those
remote regions. The Moscow radio,
in local broadcast, announced that
Chinese troops from sinkiang had
violated territory of the Mongolian
Peoples Republic" at the end of
1s43 and quoted leading Mongolian
authorities" as saying that the So
Wet government would have to aid
Mongolia under the Moscow-Mon-
golia treaty If such violations re-
cur" TasS. the Russian official news
agency amplifies this by stating that
the trouble was caused by an at
tempt by local Chinese authorities
to transplant Kazakh colonists from
the Mongolian border to the south
ern part Of the province. When some
OF the Kazakhs declined to obey and
fed into Mongolia, Chinese troops
and planes crossed the frontier in
pursuit. Those Kazakhs are pre-
sumably Soviet subjects from the
Kazakh Soviet Republic, district of
Russian Central Asia adjoining
Sinkiang on the west. 1t is equally
to be presumed that they represent
phase Of the Russian penetration
OF Sinkiang that has been going on
for many years.
It is difficult to avoid deducing
a connection between this sudden
release of belated information from
Moscow and the Soviet-Japanese
agreement over the Sakhalin OIL
fields and the Okhotsk fisheries,
signed only the day before. The
entire vast region of Central Asia,
shut away from the outer world by
burning deserts and lofty mountain
ranges, is a political pressure area
where Russian, Chinese and Japa-
nese claims and aspirations cross
cut and conflict. If Japan and the
Soviet Union have adjusted their
differences in the Far East, it would
be logical for the fast moving Soviet

and British amphibious forces, the at
tention of many observers is centered
on the somewhat "unscheduled" CAM
paign of the Japanese in India.
According to the rules Of the game,
the Japs should have remained on the
defensive while the Allies started their
offensive in Burma. Unfortunately and
Unexpectedly, the tables were turned
on us and today the Japanese are NOV
ing into India proper as fast as terrain
conditions permit.
There Is complicated dual situa-
ton out there-a military development
which apparently is aimed by the jap
anese at cutting of the Allied supply
line to China and a political situation
by which Toxic hopes to change the
passive resistance of the Indians into
an active rebellion. The British high
command must take into consideration
both possibilities and use its forces care
fully. But should the Japanese succeed
in rousing the discontented Indians 1t
may be necessary to rush new forces
into India to cope with the two situa-
tions.
Lie odpdilcSc duNdIlCe on lmpnal does
not yet threaten Calcutta. But mill
tary authorities are aware of the fact
that the Japs have been strengthening
their forces in Burma, the Netherlands
Indies and Malaga. At one time, 1t
was believed that additional forces were
sent into the area because the Japa-
nese high command was worried over
an Allied offensive against Burma or
Sumatra.
There are reports that the bulk of
the modern Japanese fleet is now at
Singapore, its strength estimated at
about battleships, or carriers, some
rs cruisers and large number of
destroyers and submarines. 1t is not
known whether the Japs concentrated
these vessels there as defensive move
because the British feet might appear

CIO Union Sues
PegIer, PM

San FTanciscO-Libel suits total
ing $1,0O0,000 will be filed against
the newspaper PM and against
Westbrook Pegler and a number
Of papers using his column, the
CIO Longshoremen's & Warehouse
mems union announced this week.
The S500,000 suit against PM,
New York tabloid owned by Mar
shall Field, is based on a series Of
articles by its Washington cor
respondent, James A. Wechsler, al
leging that ILWU Pres. Harry
Bridges was to be removed as re-
gional director Of the CIO for
California.
Other PM stories wholly mis-
represented" the unions postwar
position on strikes, the ILWU said.
The Pegler suits will be fled as
the result Of two columns he wrote
Sept. 26 and Sept. n alleging that
man named Douglas X. Hyde
was ousted from ILWU Local "a
for supporting Dewey for Presi-
dent. The columns also implied
that money collected for the
Bridges Deportation Defense Fund
was turned over TO the Communist
party and that the ILWU con-
Quoted kangaroo courts controlled
by thieves, murderers and Com
munists."
Two newspapers which printed
the Pegler columns have already
agreed 10 print retractions.

Nothing
Too Good
For GI Joe

Back IN the days when they were
still available, Local 100, CIO,
United Rubber Workers in Los
Angeles started sending cigarettes
to its members in the armed forces.
From this small beginning the
local has expanded its activities
into q full-fledged servicemen's well
fare committee--one Of the liveliest
In the union.
Every Wednesday the committee,
bolstered by the locals prettiest
girls, visits the port Of embarka-
tion hospital, leaves gifts for
wounded veterans and gives them
sports equipment and materials for
handicraft work.
And as an extra treat, each week
the committee pays for long dis
tance phone calls TO the families OF
three injured GIs whose birthdays
occur nearest the date Of the
unions visit. The committee is
headed by a man who really loves
his work-Earl Farwell, veteran
himself with two sons in military
service.

about labor, like the boy from over
seas who says bitterly: Somebody
ought to bomb those unions off the
earth." Maybe he has a beer with
one Of the union hosts, or dances
with a Laborette or just sticks
around for a while-he learns the
score about strikes In war time and
labor's part in the war effort, and
changes his mind about the bomb
ing.
The whole community has be-
come interested In the Labor
Club. The Rotary Club, Kiwanis,
the Chamber of Commerce, the
Women's Club and church organ
izati0ns have come around to
help. And they are so impressed
with the way union men and
their wives do things that they
are inviting them to join all
sorts of civic boards which never
knew unions existed before.
Success of the Harrisburg USO
Labor Club may lead to such clubs
in other cities, the USO director
told Federated Press. There
couldn't be a rift between soldiers
and workers like you read about II
they got together more as they do
here" she said.

union families.
Union wives bake the cakes and
chicken pot-pies. Unions con-
tribute the food for the snack
bar. The junior hostesses who
dance, play pingpong, talk to the
GIs and on special occasions en-
tertain with their own chorus
are called LabOrettes. The club
IL manned from IL p. m. to 7 a. m
by men hosts-AFL paperhangers,
garment workers, bartenders, CIO
steelworkers and newspapermen,
railroad porters, engineers and
other unionists.
One of the most popular places
In the club Is the coZy corner de-
voted to labor papers. The papers
are sometimes carried off back TO
the camps, USO Director Rosemary
Reinhold says. Many of the boys
who come in proudly take out their
union cards-they are so glad to
find people who know about unions,
she says. Some say it's the first
time since they've been in the army
that they've been able to read their
union papers.

out Of its doors each month go
1900 GIs whom no newspaper

unions are q menace.
The unions themselves thought
of II first. They noticed need for
a place In the center Of town where
servicemen could relax, get a show
er. food, write a letter, talk 10
friendly people. There were four
USO clubs, but none right In the
heart of the city and none open all
night. First the unions were going
TO start their own servicemen's
center. Then they went TO the
USO.
