Mount Pleasant News (Newspaper) - September 15, 1958, Mount Pleasant, Iowa The it. Pleasant news these Days by George e. Sokolsky the Central Asiatic Issue the fighting in the far East is not Over two useless Island groups. Quemoy and Matsu nor is it Over the Conquest of Formosa. What is involved Here is giving red China a free hand to conquer the whole of the East of Asia which red China and soviet Russia Are capable of doing but for the resistance of the United states. The defeat or the withdrawal of the u. S. Seventh Fleet from Asiatic Waters would give to the soviet Universal state not Only Formosa but the Philippines Indonesia and ultimate Malaya and Burma. India would then be reduced to a trembling satellite. In the development of this world Empire no distinction can be made Between soviet Russia and red China just As Mao Tze Tung was Able to Tell Nikita Khrushchev to change his position on a Summit conference at the Security Council. So can Khrushchev say to Mao that he is in a tight Corner concerning i Lebanon and Jordan and he wants Mao to Start a diversionary Effort in the far East. The soviet Universal state is one. Let me quote from a pravda Quot a a the socialist Camp is a brotherly unshakable Commonwealth of truly Independent truly equal Peoples United by the great and Noble Aims of building a new Bright life this unshakable Commonwealth has its origin in life itself and faithfully serves the interests of the Peoples of socialist countries the interests of safeguarding and consolidating the Peoples futile and useless Are any attempts of the imperialist forces to spoil the Unity of the socialist Camp Quot there has never been any question since the Early 1920�?Ts that this statement of a pravda so namely that the soviet Universal state is a Commonwealth of nations is True. Those in the United states who thought or think otherwise and who believe that they can wean away red China from soviet Russia Are whistling in the dark. The immediate proof of How wrong they Are is in the instant attack on Quemoy when Relief was needed by the Kremlin from Middle East pressures the mobility and flexibility of the soviet Universal state or the socialist Commonwealth As a pravda Quot Calls it is effective not Only in War but in politics it Means that soviet Russia can withdraw from a situation that continues to be pressing upon the attention of the world. It Means that soviet Russia employs a shuttlecock device in diplomacy now you see it now you Don It is not Only tantalizing but it must one Day Lead to a general War and when that Day comes.
