strengthen her position In the far
east where communism's mount

part of the globe Into the political
Armageddon of the Isms.
With this In view Uncle Sam's
head diplomats In easter Asia
have been ordered to hold a re.

the general situation. Meantime

Korea, which is a land divided
against Itself communist in the
north and democratic In the

out In the military sense.
From the American standpoint
the Chinese situation has been
seriously complicated through the
Imnrisnnment of U. S. Consul
General Angus Ward and four of
his stafl by the- communists In
Mukden. President Truman has
denounced this as an outrage.
The Reds charge Ward with hav

For this reason one possiuiB
move by the state department is
to ask Russia to Intervene with

this won't affect diplomatic rela

Washington.
So goes the story, and this
