They do not believe that Rus sia will do it immediately after Germany's collapse. In fact, if all other factors were equal, they believe Russia would elect to stay out.

Short of manpower and maintenance help battling to solve scarcity problems on tires, gasoline and equipment they still keep pushing those big multi-wheeled babies over the highways. It's only a fly-wcight exag geration to suggest that, with out transport trucking service, we'd be fighting a war with muzzle-loaders and ox -teams. Life at home, too, would be pretty rugged. One reason it's hard to ap preciate the contribution of the trucks is that transport truck ing is about the youngest of the industries. It's like the Air Force. A few years ago it prac tically didn't exist. But now look! Another reason is that few people get out on the highway! these days. You don't see the transport trucks a-rolling.

The soviet government has never hidden its dislike of the nationalist government headed by Generalissimo Chiang Kai Shek. It has been outspokenly critical of it, a factor that has been high-lighted in recent weeks here because of the separate conferences on world security helud in Dumbarton Oaks for the Russians and Chinese. There never has been an official ex planation about that.
