U.S. DEFENCE LINE IN EUROPE,
JAPAN AND THE PHILIPPINES
STRATEGY IN THE
EVENT OF WAR
Washington, May 4. General Omar Bradley, U.S. Army Chief of Staff, told U.S. Sonators yesterday that America's de- fence frontiors lie in the heart of Europe. General Bradley was speaking before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee to urge approval of, the 12-nation North Atlantic Security Alliance.
In response to a question later, General Bradley de- scribed Japan and the Philippines as the Unit- ed States' defence line in the Pacific area.
General Bradley said: "Geo- greater than the US$1,130,000,000 graphically many of these Euro- | planned for the aid to Puel na- peña member nutions are nirendy In a position where any aggres- sion Info West Europe would be a enquest of their homelands.

A plea for friendly relations between Britain and the new Chind is made by Mr. Emrys Hughes, Labour MP for Ayr shire, South, in a signed article in the "Glasgow Forward," of the Indepolden organ Labour Party.
Mr. Hughes says: "Whether we like it or not, the Chinese Communists are in control of the greater part of China.
"It we wish to continue friendly relations with China and increase our trade there, it cannot be done by a policy of bombing the Chinese.
He adds: "We cannot turn the clock back in Chinn any mori than we can in Indio, and the ald swashbuckling 18th Century Im- perialism of tombardments and battleships will get us nowhere today."
