Menzies, In Washington for

that our stand Of not yielding
to Communist blackmail or the
entreaties Of our Western Eu-
ropean allies for another
Geneva" conference is the
only possible policy to avert q
major crisis leading to third
world war.
Fear has gripped all our
allies and some American
politicians that the USSR
might intervene with her air
and ground forces In areas
outside the Far East II we
were to go all-out in support
ing the Chinese Nationalist.
This appears to be a remote
possibility.
The Russians have gained
much new territory since the
end Of the last war through
infiltrations rather than mill
tary action. Whenever we
opposed them forcefully they
backed down. That was the
case in 1916 when they at-
tempted to conquer Iran, ir
l947 when they tried to take
over Greece, and during the
Berlin blockade in 1913. The
Kremlin ratified the saber but
never dared draw it when 1t

meant business.

While the demagogues on
