'ATLANTIC PACT IS ALLIANCE FOR
New York, March 27.
Mr. Henry Wallace, leader of the Progressivo Party, today declared that the United States would bo at war with Russia now if she had been bound in Asia by a treaty like the Atlantic pact. He characterised the pact as a war alliance aimed at the Soviet Uniort, and implied that Japan would be America's ally should war come. "Luckily there was no pact binding us to Chiang Kai-shok. If there had been a treaty like the Atlantic pact covering the Far East, we should now be at war with Russia on the Asiatic main- land.
