in additional troops any time she
l*ees fit.
It is encouraging that in certain
friction areas of Europe, huch as
Trieste, Austria and Germany,
Russian-American tensions have
begun to ease.
More than any other single place
China is the place where Russia
and America meet headon. If the
two nations work together in the
Far East Russian-American friend
ship can become a reality. If Rus
sian i>olicies in China continue to
operate at cross-purposes with
. those of this country and of China
* the recent improvement in Rus
sian American relations will prove
to be an illusion. What has hap
pened in Dairen is, on that account
not encouraging.
