The threat of Communism ib be. coming more serious today than ever before, due to the alliance of Communist China with Moscow The United States policy of cater ing to the wants of the people in Asiatic countries, in order to woe them IS doomed to failure. These conclusions, and many others, were voiced by Dr. Victor Strash, staff teacher of the Kodiak High School, who spoke before the Rotary Club at the groups meeting Tuesday.

scribed the intellectual climate in Asiatic countries as the prevailing stock of ideas, concepts and attl- tudes.
 The speaker stated that we as nation should come into closer con tact with the people on the intel lectual level Leaders among the Chinese communists, he pointed out, are from this level. ''Moa-Tse- Tung was librarian, not q farm CT, and Chou-En-Lai is one of the smoothest intelleetualS ot modern China The bandits of Malaga are led by highly trained non Malayan Chinese" "
 Communism offers powers to the intellectual unemployed, Di'. Strash said, "and to the sloppily educated intellectual proietariat.

 The influence of the 'intellectu- al climate" played a very import ant part in the conquest of China by the Communists. Most of the men who rule from Peiping today were graduated from Soviet mili- tary and political schools in the late '20's or early '30's."
 On the other hand, the speaker pointed out, thousands of Chinese who refused to compromise with the communists are on Formosa and in Hong Kong today These have been influenced by the Amer ican concept of the democratic life.
 Turning to Japan, Dr. Strash said that that country is the most inn portant objective of the interna- tional Communist movement in Asia. There again the Communists are attempting to influence the in- tellectual climate of the country. Tt is clear that Japan has been through a very violent change of intellectual climate as a result of war, occupation, and democratiza- tion."
 What do we see today in Ja- pan?" the speaker asked. We find Japanese opposed to rearmament, critical attitude towards Ameri- ca, favorable view of the new re- gime in China. The Japanese want to see an end to the old feudal value system. They wish to resist militarism. The Japanese wonder why democracy is against com

The man with the steel lungs and
piston-like legs that lift his feet to
the tune of klippety-klop has done
it again.

himself the Worlds Champion

With his birthday run behind him,

with the large crowd. Even in defeat
last year to Mack Gore, he won new
friends. His courage and determina-

He'll most likely be back this year
and likely as not the young men
wouldn't race him on dare.
