at this time is their awareness OF

Ito Allies Unless Solid
Stand Is Held in Korea

Unless the free nations of the
world show they mean business
in Korea. Japan may be lost to
them, Senator Cain. Republican,
of Washington today told the
National Sales Executives conven-
tion at the Hotel Statler.
"If there is a firm decision in
Korea. Japan will stay with the
West" he said.
He warned his audience not to
be "misled by the product with
which the American people were
presented at San Francisco" in
the signing of the Japanese peace
treaty.
Senator Cain said the admins
tration would have us believe
that Japan will align itself with
the West" but added that unless
the free nations make a decisive
stand, for theological, political
and economic reasons" Japan will
come within the Russian orbit.
Says Korea to Decide Issue.
"The final direction to be taken
by Japan will be determined not
lby what happened in San Fran
cisco. but what will happen in
Korea" he said.
The United States and its Allies
should make up their minds what
they are going to do. We ought
to present terms to the enemy real
soon; give them a short time to
accept or reject, and if they are
denied, the challenge to freedom
remains where it has been for Is
months. We have to pick it up or
there will be no hope for peace

He urged the NSE and similar
