I NEWS-REVIEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON, TUESDAY, JULY 20, 1948 SEVEN V Berlin Blockade May Bring Down Upon Soviet U. N. Punitive Action By DeWITT MacKENZIE AP Foreign Affairs Analyst It looki ai though world opinion may have to be called upon to settle the struggle between Red Russia and the Western Democ racies over Berlin provided the veto-ridden United Nations is capable of furnishing a sounding board to register the global view-point. Moscow's blunt rejection of the American-Britlsh-French demand that she lift her food-blockade of Berlin has created one of the most amazing situations ever re corded in the history of civilized man. You would think it couldn't happen in this day and age but It has. Just take a look at it: Tn an effort to force a political concession from the Democracies, the totalitarian dictatorship of the mighty Russian empire has deliberately set about to reduce Ih some 2,400,000 Inhabitants of western Berlin to hunger and coia ana other privations. idea is so fantastically ruthless as to be almost unbelievable. It smacks of the dark ages. It's Berlin's location, of course, which makes such a scheme pos sible. The huge metropolis lies in the heart of the Soviet zone of occupation in eastern Ger many. Air Warning. Counttrad To counter this terrible menace America and Britain have been doing a unique job of flying sup- filles food, ledicines, fuel nto the beleaguered capital.

' The Bolshevists, noting this success with concern, threaten i through the official Soviet news paper Kundschau in Berlin to in terfere with the American-British air operations. The Russians previously had warned that they woull be conducting parachute jumping practice in one of the air corridors. Commenting on this warning. General Lucius Clay, U. S. commander, remarked: "They have every right to prac tice In the corridors, but It will be pretty bed for them If our phnes run Into them." Reds Want All 'rmany American quarters in Germany yesterday said tliey expected the Berlin crisis to worsen, in view of the Russian rejection of the demand for a lifting of the block ade. The Immediate object of the Communists probably is to force the Western Allies out of Berlin or compel them to abandon their project of forming a Western German government In their three zones of occupation. The ultimate Red objective undoubted ly is to gain control of all Ger many and sovletize it. Many diplomatic observers fig ure the only thing that might checkmate this plot short of war, which nobody wants would be democratic world opinion, backed by a threat of punitive sanctions. It is on this basis that the Western Powers are consider ing presenting the issue to the United Nations. In any event, the United States yesterday reiterated Its intention of staying In Berlin.
