Northern native farmers, oppressed by a 50 per cent tax on produce and strict control under the cooperative system, are drifting south across the 38th parallel. (2) Border incidents have been reduced along the n line. However, two Russian soldiers, prowling for rice below the border, were shot and killed by Korean police. (3) Only 53 Japs are left in southern Korea all hospital cases. (4) Russia, which controls the industrial half of the country, is permitting a smooth flow of electricity into the American zone without interference. General Lerch said he was not worried about too many Koreans becoming converted to communism. Koreans, he said, could never be regimented into communism, I am sure.

The 79th congress, which passed the G.I. bill, gave RFC authority to purchase mortgages on homes where the loans had been guaranteed by Veterans administration under terms of the G.I. bill. The authority under which the RFC purchased these mortgages expired June When the new law was passed by this congress extending the RFC for another year and slashing its loan authority from something like 18 billion dollars to two billion dollars, congress not only swept away the only, source of small business and small industrial loans but refused to give RFC authority to purchase G.I. home, business and farm mortgage 30, ifir Striker Doesnt like tbe food hes getting and makes no secret of it.

But little or nothing has been reported of the critical military , weaknesses of Russia. She may be an isolated economic and political power existing behind an iron curtain, but from the military standpoint, she is wide open from the air on three sides, and extremely vulnerable in oil. The custom is to regard Russia as unconquerable because of her vast spaces. Hitlers military mistake was in attempting to devour more than he could chew. No one seems to think of Russias far vaster, outer circumference of defense, which is really too extensive to be defensible. v But these considerations run beyond current military realities. The Russia which has become so aggressive in the world of politics, does not comprise eight million square miles, but the few square miles occupied by its few thousand political leaders, chiefly in a few large cities (say Moscow and Leningrad). Russia could be effectively isolated in war from the rest of the world without much difficulty. On the other hand, the atomic missile and other bombing rocket threats against her are somewhat dulled by her farflung distribution of industry (except oil). ... t For our part, defense against use of such missiles is our most vital necessary concern. We are protected, everywhere except in the. air. We , are protected in every way excepting from atomio possibilities and missiles. In these baskets .most of our eggs, may now he put. We must think of atomic defense, not offense. We must concentrate on air and missile protection. MUCH : . , . A LA N C DID oubTelA cti onR |
