thing Stain wants. Also domina-
ton of Japan would make the
island stepping-stones down the
East flank of Asia-Formosa, the
Philippines, Indonesia-fall like ripe
plums into the Kremlin's lap.
In fact, the highly Industrial
lied, energetic japanese people
could be the easiest of all to con-
vert to Communism, could help
greatly in converting the rest OF
Asia
That is why the Korean spear
head, pointed at Japan, Fjust about
100 miles across the Straits of Flu
san, is so important to Moscow
/ Korea itself is not important econ
, omically. It is a poverty stricken
eroded country which will cos
money to support.
But, politically and strategically
it is the first essential step ir
dominationg Japan. Psychologist
/. ally, the Japanese have been ac-
customed to thinking of Korea ano
Japan as one area. Economically
the japanese need Korea as {
market. Strategically, it is only g
hop across the narrow Fusar
Straits, and in the old days
ferry boats crossed from the main
land of Korea to Japan two OF
three times a day.
That is why President Truman's
decision to use the armed forces
of the United States in Korea is
so momentous. And that is why
Joe Stain is not likely to take
this American blocking move lying
down.
He may not counter in Korea
He may counter in Iran or Yugos-
lavia. Or there may be delayed
action fuse in the Orient. But
somewhere, someplace, Uncle Joe is
going to bide his time and watch
for an opportunity to come back.
That is why the next six months
are going to be crucial for the Am
erican people.

Pearson Odyssey

This columnist, as a young news
paperman, travelled through much
of this crucial area-up through
Sakhalin, across to the Siberian
mainland, up the Amur River to
Khabarovsk, through Manchuria to
Hardin, and across the Trans-Siber-
ian Railroad to Vladivostok.
1 was jailed briefly by the Boil
sheviks in Khaborovsk, lived on the
beach at Vladivostok, came back
three years later through Korea
to South Manchuria, and took the
long trek across the Cobb Desert
to the heart of Mongolia-Urga.
On this last visit-in 1925-the
Russians were making their first
attempt to dominate China, and
saw long caravans loaded with
Soviet rifles crossing the Cobb. At
that time, however Generalissimo
Chang Kai-Shek-now the darling
of the Republicans-was an ally
of Russia and his troops were
trained by the famed Soviet mill
tary man, Comrade Borodin.
From this and other observations,
am convinced that Stains major
objective, much like the Cars, is
this great industrial heart of North
Asia-the iron, steel and coal re-
gions of Manchuria, Korea and
Japan.
He has already made one stab
at the iron and coal of Germany
and, thanks to the Berlin airlift
has failed Now the Schuman plan
for European iron-steel cooperation
may thwart him further
Already he has taken back Lat
via, Estonia, Lithuania and semi
control over Finland along the
Baltic He has started the great
est exodus of Baltic peoples in
recent history in order to protect
the military secrets Of the Baltic
Lake"-which was why a U. S
Naval plane was shot down there.
He has also been thWarted by
Tito in his attempt to extenC
Slavic domination to the AdriatiC
through the Land of the Southern
Slavs"-though an invasion of Yu-
goslavia may be next on the sched-
ule. Also he may come back tt
the easy pickings Of oil-rich, de.
fenseleSs Iran.
