has far outstripped its main force,
leaving itself exposed along both its
flanks.
Throughout virtually it's entire length
the empire lifeline now extends through
hostile territory. 1t passes through
such shoals as Franco Spain, which long
has had an eye on the recapture of
Gibraltar; antagonistic Egypt, which
threatens to rob the admiralty of some
of it's most valuable bases; a Balkan
shore controlled, except for Greece and
Turkey. by the Communists; Pales-
tine full of hatred; an Indian Ocean
under the shadow of Moscow; an India
united against the British imperial
idea, yet virtually at civil war; Burma
and Malaga sabotaging every British
move possible; Hong Kong which the
Chinese want back and the East Indies,
where British economic interests are
approximately equal to those OF the
Dutch, and where both are subject to
a bitter anti-imperial campaign. Over
shadowing the background of the whole
picture is Soviet antagonism toward
British imperialism everywhere, plus

world traffic, never did anybody any
harm in any kind of war.
But in one respect the British have
probably like to do in military defense.
Caught with bare treasury at the end
of the war, they have had to halt their
naval construction program. Vessels of
all types which were on the ways have
not been completed and most of them
have been scrapped. Only few new
ones have been placed in service. The
admiralty budget for 1947 provides for
a navy of less than 10000 officers and
men. But for the fact that the threats
to her lifeline are for the time being
only political and that the only other
real navy in the world is that of the
United States, this would be an intol-
erable situation for the former mistress
of the seas.
The British also are bending every
effort to stabilize India, realizing that
she cannot be kept as colony but
hoping to salvage commercial interests
as we'll as to prevent such foreign in
filtration as the japanese attempted,
with small but nevertheless frightening
success during the war. The same
applies to Burma and Malaga.
The major portion of the task of
pacifying the Indies has finally been
handed over to the Dutch, after long
period during which British occupation
forces in Java drew down increasing
bitterness upon the head of the empire,
1t looks like some form of independence
tied to maintenance of present COM
mercial interests will also be the out
come there, but here, too, so far as
Britain is concerned, she runs up
against Communism and Mohammedan-
ism
When it is considered that England
must maintain the lifeline with one
hand while being strongly engaged with
Russia for control of Western Europe
on the other, you get picture of a
nation besieged with troubles the like
of which have hardly descended upon
any other unconquered peoples in mod
ern times.

cooperate with almost any one VINO
will help them do so.
And so the lifeline, for all intents
and purposes, becomes also battle
line
Britain has maintained the friend
ship with Turkey which was legacy
left to his country by Kemal Ataturk.
Britain and the United States have
stood firmly by the World War I enemy's
decision to give Russia fiat NO on
her Dardanelles aspirations, and the
Turkish Navy is being built up by the
addition of British-made vessels. BY
this means England maintains a south
ern barrier against Russian impinge-
ment on the lifeline from the Black Sea.
Greece and Italy May Aid.
Across the island dotted Aegean and
across the western approaches to the
Dardanelles lies British dominated
Greece. Devastated by invasion and vir-
tual civil war, she offers little positive
support, but as base Is of tremendous
Importance Greece and an Italy OF
doubtful value constitute the sole re-
naming wedges into the soft under
belly" of Europe which Winston Church
i'll wanted to invade in 1914, hoping by
such move to whip Germany and at
the same time to checkmate the ad-
vances which Russia has since made,
rather than to leave the Balkans and
Central Europe open to Russia after the
German war was over.
Britain is building up the Greek Navy,
which already consists largely of Brit
ish-made vessels. Some small warships
and, more Importantly, some subma-
rines, are reported to have been de-
livered recently. This uniformity in
equipment would be a vital factor in
supply should Greece and Britain find
themselves aligned in any actual shoot
ing
England also is making every effort
to mediate with the restless peoples
along the lifeline. She intends to sub
stitute Tobruk and Bengazi, in the for
mer Italian Mediterranean empire, for
the bases which it seems obvious she is
about to lose to Egyptian nationalism,
Her efforts to pacify the Palestine Sit
uation also are deeply colored by the
necessity of basing her defense Of the
Suez Canal there instead of in Egypt

her forces in Iraq and TranSJordan

RumOrS of Internal Strife
In Russia Held Propaganda
False Sense of Security Seen in Wishful Thinking
That Revolution Will Remove Menace
of Aggression
OF Aggression
By Constantine Brown

There are rumblings in Washington
that everything is not all right in the
Soviet Union. Some of our highest off,
cials, including President Truman, have
received more or less substantiated re-
ports that there Is much more discon-
tent In Russia than appears on the
surface: that the Russian people are
war-weary and dissatisfied with condi-
tions and that they would rise against
the Stain dictatorship if 1t involved
them in another war
Some careful observers are inclined,
however, to take the bulk of these re-
ports with grain of salt. They do not
deny that many Russian people are dis
contented, but they seriously doubt that
the dissatisfaction, which is as endemic
in the U. S. S. r. as malaria is in the
tropics, will cause any major trouble
within the country.
The Russian people have been kept in
state. They are no better off today
than they were under the fierce Gear,
Ivan the Terrible, who was recently
retitled "the Great" by order of the
Kremlin. The Russian people are long
suffering. There were uprisings and
rebellions in the 100 years prior to the
fall of the Czars. Most of them were
caused by small group of people who
were able to stir up trouble because the
state police as it existed in the old days
never reached the perfection and the
cruelty of the modern secret police
known as the NKVD.
Few Escape Penalty.
In the prerevolutionary period such
liberty-loving individuals as Lenin were
able to leave the country and establish
residences in one of the free countries
Of Europe like France or Switzerland
From there, because the Czarist police
lacked the thoroughness of Stalin's
NKVD, they sent pamphlets and agita-
tors to Russia to arouse the masses and
eventually bring about revolutions. The
upheavals were quelled by ruthless
methods, although less so than those
adopted by the Communists.
The penalty in those days was SEN
tence to long exile in Siberia, from

Closer Ties With Canada

Vulnerability to Attack Across Polar Regions
Places Dominion in Status of Vital
Buffer State
By George H. Hall

100000 French Canadians, bitterly
opposed in the last two wars to sending
combat troops abroad, would not oppose
an alliance to defend their homes.
He pointed out that, as an argument
for Standardization, many major Cana
dian manufacturing concerns actually
are subsidiaries of American companies,
but with the advent of war dropped their
American manufacturing methods and
reverted to those used by the British
Whether formal defense agreement
is in prospect, and there have been un-
oficial reports that the United States
has proposed such nonpolitical plan,
the likelihood is that the experience
of the two countries in the last war will
bind them closer than in the past.

'TightGuardKept
At Khyber Pass
By Joseph g. Goodaoin

PESHAWAR, India.-In war or peace,
conditions remain unchanged in Khyber
Pass; the northern gate to India swings
on reluctant hinges and the men who
guard it are at perpetual alert.
It's ragged black defiles knew invading
armies long before statesmen had
word for imperialism-even before there
were statesmen. Macedonians, Mon
golians, Persians and many others passed
this way with violence.
The modern guardians Of the pass
take no chances The entire countryside
from the Afghan frontier to Peshawar-
and on beyond-is a military concentra-
ton It's actual strength in men and
materials is carefully guarded secret.
Inside the pass mountain sides bristle
with hidden gun positions, lofty block
houses high-walled forts, barbed wire
entanglements and concrete tank traps.
The scant flow of traffic to and from
Afghanistan is constantly in view of
trained observers secreted in winding
underground installations.
Attributed to Tribal Unrest.
''As long as you keep moving and
remain on the road" said an American
Army officer who regularly travels be-
tween here and Kabul, "everythings
okay. All is peace and tranquility. But
don't make the mistake of pulling off on
the shoulder or stopping to admire the
scenery. A rifle slug will signal you to
keep moving"
The constant vigilance and rigid
security, the British Indian Army, ex-
plains, are directed at unruly mountain
tribesmen.
THE tribesmen are poor, humble, un-
aggressive said Khan Abdul Gaffar
Khan, Northwest Frontier Congress
party leader and an associate of M. K.
Gandhi. In lean years they will steal
rather than go hungry, but I can take
you into their camps and they will make
you welcome at their firesides. British
claims that all these arms are needed
to control a handful of hungry hill
people are ridiculous
Actually, it is no secret that the vast
network of frontier Notifications is
of foreign invasion.
During the last war German and
italian agents attempted to finance
tribal revolts through the Pass area
Challenged by Afghan troops across the
frontier, three German diplomatic at
taches to Kabul opened up with tommy
guns. One was shot to death, the others
were wounded.
Route Dusty and Dangerous.
Until the outbreak of the war, a
German airline operated into Kabul.
The approach to Khyber Pass from
the Afghan side is through the needle
eye gorge of the Kabul River, mile
deep. cash through desolate black noun
tains. Because of the heat, most of the
trip must be made at night.
The road is rough, dusty and danger
ous 1t skirts rock slides, dips through
dry stream beds and climbs along the
shoulder of unguarded ravines for 180
miles to the asphalt and guard rails
at the Indian frontier.
Trains of donkeys, camels and bumped
cattle, carrying burdens roped to their
backs, stand out in the automobiles
headlights. Patient tribespeople, men
stripped to the waist, many of the wom-
en- carrying small children, trudge after
their herds, moving all through the
night.

Dutch Push Plan to Form
United States of IndOneSia
By Stan Sicin.on

Dutch crown as an equal partner with
the Netherlands; CD to continue volun-
tary cooperation with the Netherlands
on the basis of economic and cultural
ties, or, 90 to elect full independence.
Details of this master plan are being
settled at series of three conferences.
The first, purely consultative, was held
at Malino in the Celebes last July. 1t
was intended to test Indonesian reaction
and to receive Indonesian requests for
consideration.
Two important recommendations we're
made.
Would Set Up Four States.
The first suggested that the projected
federation be made up of four states
Java, Sumatra, Borneo and the Great
East" which would include eastern Sec
tions of the archipelago.
The second called for the length of
the preparatory period" before inde-
pendence to be determined at future
round-table conference of the Kingdom
of the Netherlands. This resolution was
passed after delegates could not agree
whether the period should be 5 or 10
years.
The Pangkalpinang Conference also
will be consultative. Chief of the minor
ity groups invited is the Chinese, who
were in the Indies even before the first
Dutch arrived. The present Chinese
population, mostly from Fukien and
Kwaptung, is estimated at 1,234,000.
The Chinese have expressed some op-
position to participation in the confer
ence. feeling it would jeopardize the
traditional political neutrality main
tanned by Chinese overseas. However
Batavia has chosen delegates and
Chinese sources here say most Chinese
in the Indies favor taking part.
The third and most important con-
ference, tentatively scheduled for the
island of Bali, will be held this fall
The Dutch hope that the Netherlands
Commission General, Java, Sumatra, the
outer islands and the European, Chinese
and Arab minorities, all will be repre-
sented there and that definite action
can be taken to set up the United States
of Indonesia.
