Russia Not Ready To
Wage About War
So Says John j. Porter, Promi-
nent Industralist, In Talk At
kiwanis Club.

II heHt AhuuSuallSt, IN ak AT
kiwanis Club.
John j. Porter, prominent indus
trialist, speaking at the Kiwanis Club
meeting on Thursday, stated that in
his opinion war with Russia is not
Imminent and if it did come it
would probably not be before the
latter part of 1852.
The luncheon meeting, presided
over by the president, Walter M.
Daniels, was held at the Hotel Alex
ander and the speaker was intro
duced by Ellsworth Roulette, mem
Der of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, which arranged the program.
DIR. j. Turnbull Spicknall, minister
of st. Paul's Methodist Church, was
guest.
Mr.. Porter, speaking on the sub
Ject, 1.-THE Russian Situation AS I
See It Today" stated that Russia
still has the same definite objective
Ito eventually conquer the world
that it had year ago when he
addressed the club on the same sub
ject.
Russia, Mr.. Porter said, is, in his
opinion, working on a very definite
timetable that might bring war with
Russia in the latter part of 1852. The
speaker added that it was his opin
ion that the Intelligence Branch of
General Eisenhower's European
headquarters felt the same way and
that was why everything possible
was being done to build I'D the
allied forces in Europe by that time.
Touching on the present rumors
OF peace in Korea, the speaker point
ed out that even if such peace is
brought about it will not change the
basic situation, since there can be
no real peace in the world until
there is a revolutionary change in
the Russian government.
As far as Korea was concerned.
Mr.. Porter stated that it was his be-
lief that Stain had two plans-To
support the Chinese with war ma
terrell, in the hope that they would
emerge victorious, or, if that should
fail, to accept a loss of face with
China and sue for peace.
Part of Stains plan to CONQUER
the world, the speaker stated, is to
stir up trouble wherever possible,
just as he had done in Korea, and it
was Mr.. Porter's belief that Russia
was behind the present trouble in
the Iranian oil fields, in the hope that
they can eventually grab them for
themselves.
Turning to the question of atomic |
bombs, Mr.. Porter was of the opin- !
ion that Stain believes that by the
end of 1862 his country will be ahead
of the United States in A-bomb pro-
duction-a belief, however, that the
speaker didn't share.
Mr.. Porter was optimistic over the
final outcome, but stated that we
would be crazy if we let up for /
minute in our preparation for de- !
tense, even if the war in Korea
should end tomorrow. He also urged
that this country should take leaf
from Russia's book and give all aid
possible to the enemies of Russia, /
wherever we find them, just as Rus
STA is giving aid to its satellites In
this connection he pointed out that
Guatemala is now completely Com
munist governed and could very
well be used by Russia as a subma-
rine base that would present threat
to the Panama Canl.
In closing, the speaker quoted the
thirty-third verse of the sixth chap
ter Of Matthew eek We first the
kingdom of God and His righteous
ness, and all other things shall be
added unto you"
