We Mustn't Have Another Pearl Harbor


 TEN YEAR AGO few people would have taken seri- ousy prediction that in 1941 the Japs would attack Pearl Harbor sink most of fleet and in 1922 occupy part of Alaska And yet newspaper and magazines had been warning the American people for twenty years that must beware of the 'Yellow Peril and take steps to prepare against an attack by Japan.
 The only way to judge nation is by the deeds of that nation, for actions talk louder than words If judge by the actions of Russia today it not far fetched to declare many Tn authority do that unless take steps to become better prepared against attack than are, that Russia will attack through Alaska about the year 1857
 Russia thinks that she is right and that the rest of the world wrong She will brook interference with her policies either domestically by other powers-par tcuary these other powers be weaker than she And today, with 208 Army divisions in the field compared with only fourteen divisions for the U. S., she is the strongest military power in the world.
 If it not for the fact that the United States is stronger ndusrally and holds two other great adVan tages in the atom bomb and undisputed control of the sea- there would be immediate danger of attack.

Undersecretary of State Dean AcheSOn just before hS retirement recent l gave further proof that Russia s by her actons pre- pairing for world conquest. Dean Acheson said: 'Unhappy, the whole of recovery and the international pursuit of happiness has suffered deeply by the Soviet Unions pursuit off policies dametricay opposed to the very premises of international accord and recovery In Eastern Europe the Soviet Union American and British protests has used it's dominant military position to carry al unilaeral policy by which free choice of their des tiny has been denied these peoples.
