Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 3, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky the peril to Formosa soviet Russia possesses the particular advantage that All its territory is contiguous that All its satellites Are contiguous except Nasser a . And Indonesia. Therefore it is possible for soviet j i Russia to swing from one military j activity to another like a shuttle j cock no oceans need be crossed. No enemy territory need be crossed to grasp the significance of this fact it is necessary first to under j stand the entity of the soviet uni i Versal state. There is no such Po-1 i Lotical entity As Russia China Poland Uzbekistan Etc. It is All one i governed in its major essentials by an elite of which such men As Khrushchev and Mao Tze Tung form an oligarchical master class within a Universal communist party. No matter How this group changes its Basic principles remain the same namely those Laid Down by Lenin. So far As the United states is concerned it Means permanent War. Too the Kremlin therefore finds it necessary to keep a Small War blazing constantly. Mark the Middle East War scare involving Lebanon a Jordan and Iraq is not yet out of the w a when shooting starts Over j the Island of Quemoy which in i valves the possibility of a russian War with the United states Over Formosa. Perhaps nothing will come of this but Fato can be attacked As the Baghdad treaty was attacked. It is All part of the same plan. When the attack on Quemoy is Over and this phase of the formosan War is Over the Kremlin will j Start somewhere else perhaps an i attack on West Germany or on j Tito or even farther afield an up rising in one of the i it Atin american countries. It is All part of the program of the permanent War. Too americans Are an easy going people who become accustomed quickly to new fashions. As we have had the permanent War As a steady diet since 1939, we take it in our stride and Hope for the Best. Many americans go on Tours to Moscow As they used to go to Fiance and Spain. Anybody vol. 80, no. 207 it.

These were Early arrivals at the reunion this year and were lined up ready for viewing by the thousands of spectators who would he arriving soon. In the Tipper photo you May want to try to figure out which smokestacks belong to which engines. U.s.weiffhs5 possible moves in China situation Washington up a the United states today weighed at least five possible military moves it might take in the embattled Formosa Strait ranging from conveying nationalist chinese ships to dropping a bombs. The moves were under consider in the event president i schools underway on full schedule City to extend a Black Topping to full Width w10 j action has not been to Moscow during the j Gen Bower orders the armed forces past two years is not fashionable. What they Sec and do there most of them do not know As one quickly learns when he interviews one of a these tourists who has returned. I but the trip was wonderful. It is said that 1959 will to the biggest tourist season for americans to go to Moscow and the amount of american dollars that will go into the russian government coffers will not be Small. However none of this affects the permanent War which continues without cessation and which is an essential of the bolshevik program As Laid Down by Lenin. O a a it is the nature of that permanent War that must interest us seriously whether we prefer to Call it cold War or permanent War its nature is the same namely that it is the object of soviet Russia to keep the world in eternal turmoil and to destroy the american Economy by the use of warlike methods in peace time. This results in huge War expenditures and in the maintenance of research activities designed for prospective . It is an extremely interesting design. How Little this is understood was made evident to me recently in a conversation with a Clever lawyer who is relied upon by his clients to have More than superficial knowledge. In which discussing a certain anti communist he said that the person must have been a communist at some time or he would not have been so bitter against Russia. It is like saying that a god fearing person must have been a Devil worshipper or he would not Bitte the Devil. To assist Chian Kai Shek s league red forces on Quemoy. The use of atomic weapons in an extreme situation was not ruled out. But was not considered to loom Large in the probabilities so far. I. Pleasant schools were underway on the full Days schedule wednesday. Figures on total enrolment were not yet compiled. Be i the marching band held its first practice at Mcmillan Park tuesday evening with a total of some 84 members. Later the number will be reduced.

Secretary of state John Foster Dulles briefed tuesday on the Formosa Straits situation by the joint chiefs of staff was expected to discuss possible courses of military action with the president at Newport i. Thursday. Some authorities said the Eisen Hower Dulles conference May produce a More direct warning to the reds than any yet forthcoming from this government. Dulles has twice said that an invasion attempt on the off Shore islands of Quemoy or Matsu would be a hazardous move tor the red chinese to make. Too tile possible courses open to the United states All believed to have been discussed by Dulles and military men included american Protection of nationalist convoys from Formosa to the three mile limit where International Waters end off Quemoy. It is doubted Here that the reds could strangle Quemoy and reduce the Island without cutting off its communication lines. Protection of convoys from Formosa directly to the Island beyond the three mile International limit. Take part in the defense of Quemoy itself. This could involve the use of aircraft and artillery to repulse invasion efforts but would Rule out counter attack by americans on the chinese Mainland. A bombing Mainland ports airfields and artillery positions with conventional weapons. Military men Are not unanimous on the question of whether it would be essential to use atomic weapons for this purpose. Many think conventional High explosive and incendiary bombs could do the Job. A the extreme Case would Call for retaliation on the Mainland with nuclear weapons. Military leaders in the past have stressed that nuclear weapons always Are considered As part of the .
