This blow will not fall immediately, if at all, but we cannot ignore the fact that when and if the vommun- ists control Southeastern Asia — including Malaya — we will be back to the synthetic rubbei days. We learned before that the loss of our rubber supply was not intensely serious. We quickly learned to produce enough very good synthetic rubber. There was only one big defect: in our synthetic rubber program during World War 2—alcohol, the es- ^ntial ingredient of sjnthetic, whs made from food products in cluding grain, sugar cane and po tatoes. Food products also tend to become scarce when we are at war. The real answ’er, and the one finally arrived at by the War Production Board, is to pioduce care-free abandon that charac terized many of their other ef forts during that period, the boy ish optimists heading our feder al government dumped the big Springfield plant into ‘ surplus” as soon as the war wa^ over. Some of us here in Washington did some hard battling to pre vent the outright junking of the §3,000,000 plant. Fortunately, it was not junked, but was leased to peopl? who are opei- ling at least a part of it. The blow’ to our rubber supply will not fall for a while. It may not fall at all. We have time to get ready for it. The government should proceed at once to get the wood-sugar alcohol process per fected and operating in the one plant. Then plans for quick con struction of other pants, based upon the experience at Spring- field, should be made ready for quick action. I have already started to hit the offices of the defense pro curement people and the resourc es board urging such a program. G 0.

One is the long method of infiltration and dost ruction from within. This method involves at least two steps; the first is government con trol under a system called social ism. This step would be follow ed fairly soon by communism and Russian domination. The other route they might choose for ob taining their objective would have the advantage of speed, destruc tion, chaos, and would make in termediate steps unnecessary. This plan involves a shooting war. But to the Communist de struction and military success is not enough. Our people must be forced to place themselves under dictatorship for a war emergency. “It is obvious. I think, that the enemy could prolong such an emergency to any length that suited its purpose.” Apparently the Russians may be combining all methods to de stroy our free system of gov ernment. ♦ * Congress has heard the sug gestion of the president for leg Representative islation necessary to deal with Minnesota is not the Korean trouble.

Recently he made what I think was the outstand ing. statesmanlike speech of this 81st congress. He talked for al most an hour reviewing United States-Asiatic developments from 1930 to date. Although between two and three hundred members were on the floor at the time, you could hear a pin drop the attention was so keen. When he concluded his remarks every member jumped to his feet and applauded. 1 understand some re-prints of his speech are being made. I’ve asked him to send me a few and shall be glad to send one to any one who wants to read it- and it is mighty well worth careful reading.

Foster told the senate foreign relations commit- t ee : “In my judgment, the trend of event sin South Korea is more fax orable than it has been at any time since the liberation of that country in 1945. The reasons for my optimism are military, po litical and economic. It is my considered opinion that in the face of great difficulty the gov ernment of the Republic of So. Korea is now steadily gaining strength in each of these three sectors. “A rigorous training program has built up a well-disciplined army of 100,000 soldiers; one that i is prepared to meet any chall * enge by No. Korean forces.” Walter Judd of ‘Apparently, in addition to our only better in numerous other troubles we do China and Asia not actually know what is going person now in on in the world.

Attention is also called to the fact that those registrants who fail to return their questionnaires and are therefore classified 1-A as delinquents are subject to re ceive orders to report for induc tion even though they may have passed their 26th birthday “The Registration Card”, continued Col. Mason, “is not evidence of a man’s age. The questionnaire is only basis for classification which simply m^ans that no lo cal board may place a registrant in Class 5-A, oxer 26 years old, unless it has a signed question naire in its possession.” The attorney general of the United States has ruled that lo cal police, any law’ enforcement officer or even a private citizen can make an arrest if there is probable cause for believing a felony has been committed. “This simply means,” concluded Col. Mason, “that any local board member may himself make an arrest or request and expect the assistance of any law enforce ment officer wherever it is felt there is a delinquency under the selective service act.” Col. Ma son further explained that when ever an arrest was accomplished under these circumstances the United States Marshal should be immediately contacted.
