E,ACE the fact then that what
Il Stain wants in Asia wears
down on China as much as it
does on Japan.
Stain wants a dominant inter.
est In China through the Chinese
Communist party.
In his practical, land-con-
scious way he wants Manchuria
and its great harbor, Darien.
Russia once took Manchuria
from China. Japan then took II
from Russia, and later again
took II from China.
When Japan is near defeat
by us Stain can have Man
churia by bearing down on
Japan-doubtless he can have
il by a telephone call to Tokyo
(the lines are still up.)
In return, he can offer to
mediate for Japan or ask mercy
for her or, if she is desperate
enough, he need offer nothing
at all.
Remember how he got the
Dardanelles open-from Turkey

theory, advanced by biologist

UPTON CLOSE

I ETS reduce all the patter
IL about Russia joining the war
against Japan TO two funda-
mental questions.
First, does Stain want TO
join?
Second, do the nations fight
ing Japan, namely China, Great
Britain and the United States,
want Russia to join7
We must examine the first
question-does Stain want 10
join ?-strictly from the logic of
the Russian policy toward Asia
since the beginning OF the pres
ent Moscow regime and Stains
long-range futur e interests,
rather than out Of any ideas we
might have about what il would
be nice for Russia 10 do.
The practical application of
that Soviet Russian policy
toward Asia has been never 10
declare war on an Asiatic neigh
Dor.
When mighty Russia wants
something that she cannot get
by bluffing, as. for instance, the
Chinese Eastern Railway of
Manchuria in 1929, or Chinese
Turkestan recently, she takes it
with an undeclared war.
THIS policy applies to Japan
l. as much as China.
Soviet Russia has had many a
little border war with japanese
forces. but never a declared war.

for the most part. The idea that

Is likely 10 bring on a cold, and
that drafts have something 10
do with catching cold. is backed
pp by scientific evidence.
Not so long ago a report was

ployes Of large industrial

ployes had more colds than
those working in less drafty
parts of the plant In those who
worked IN air-condltioned plants.
where the temperature was
maintained AZ a fairly even level.
the number of colds was much
less.
Some other interesting facts
were brought out by this study.
For example. women seemed 10
catch cold more often than men
and they had their colds most
frequently at the time OF their
regular periods. Those between
20 and 30 years Of age had colds
most often. while those above
so had the least number.
The smallest number OF colds
was found among the workers
who moved about al their jobs.
Those who sat down 10 do their
work seemed 10 catch cold more
easily. Smoking did not seem 10
have any eifect-one way or the
other.
