The State Department and

further Moscow-instigated explo-
sionS will occur in the next few
weeks. after we have become in
volved to the hilt in the Korean
campaign.
While loath to admit publicly
that we are now in full-scale
shooting war, many high-ranking
officials and members Of Congress
are convinced that our best
chance Of preventing the spread
Of Communist aggression lies in
general military and industrial
mobilization. This is the only
thing that may make the Krem-
lin pause and consider the con-
sequences Of setting of more ex-
plosions throughout the world.
It is by no means certain that
mobilization would have such an
effect on Stain and his gang.
But it might cause them to think
twice about the implications Of
a full war against Americas fully
modified manpower and indus
trial strength.
Our mobilization also would

jumped so sharply that they bumped

TWO SPEECHES BY

FOR ROTARY CLUB

With war blazing in one of the

shall Dana, Oregon editor. sees the
picture much as he did when he
warned, Korea is the headache OF
the Far East. War can start there
any time"
That prediction was on his re-
turn from a 75000-mile air trip
which included a Defense Depart
ment assignment to study Japan
and Korea. His audience today, the
Juneau Rotary Club, was given the
impression that his estimate of the
strategic Importance of Korea had
been met with certain unbelief in
official circles.
Dana, editorial page editor of The
oregon Journal, named Berlin and
jerusalem as the other two war
breeders.
Alaska is not a war breeder" he
said, but it is vital to war defense.
Jerusalem lies on the ancient cara
van route of trade and strategy. The
barbed wire around Israeli is SYM
bolic-barbed wire enclosing a new
little national island surrounded by
Arabs.
I'VE are at war with Russia" he
said boldly. although it is not yet
called that. Russia is as implacable
in her determination to vanquish
the United States as though it
were.
Russia has determined on this
kind of strategy-to preserve the
homeland intact: virile, vital, pro-
ductive, and to reach out for more
and more satellites or policed states.
These, she trains, arms, directs,
