u. 5. Building Basis
For World War III,
Moscow Press Saws
BY the Assoeiated Press

MOSCOW, July 21.-Moscow'S
press and radio gave top play to-
day to President Trunlan's mes
sage to Congress and declared it
proved America is laying the
groundwork for World War III.
The report, carried in a Tass
dispatch from Washington, said
Truman admits the United
States is strengthening its prep
arations for war, both in Europe
and on the American continent" !"
The Soviet news agency dis
patch said Truman on July 20
sent q message to Congress in
which he called for measures
which are designed to broaden the
scale of American aggression in
Korea and other places and are
pushing the U. S. A. along the
path Of mobilization for war"
I'm his message" Tass said,
Truman tries to picture United
States aggression in Korea as "a
peace mission of the U. S. A
Trying to justify openly ag-
gressive acts Of the United States
in Korea, Truman refers to the
illegal decisions of the Security
Council of June Is and June 27
and July Z. adopted, as it is well
known, in violation of the U. N.
statutes"
(Tass referred to the Coun-
ellis condemnation of the
Northern Korean invasion of
South Korea and it's call for
military support Of the South
Koreans.)
The United States President.
Tass said, ignored the reaction of
the worlds progressive public, and
also the position of many members
Of the U. N. who have refused in
practice to participate in armed
American intervention in Korea"
The dispatch said Mr.. Truman
repeated his well known declara-
tions which give evidence of the
fact that the United States Gov
ernment. not limiting itself to ag-
gression in Korea, is undertaking
measures of war in the Philip
pines, Formosa and Indo-China. >"
Tass said the President "has
admitted that the present situa-
ton demands firm actions in Ko-
rea" and added that he "does not
hesitate to make threats"
TasS also carried a New York
dispatch saying Wall Street lead
ers and heads of both parties in
Congress welcomed the Presidents
message.
However" TaSs added, "the
rank and file of Americans are
beginning to express ever greater
dissatisfaction at the burden
which the imperialist adventure
IN Korea has brought on"
