KOREAN INVASION SECOND STAGE OF RUSSIAN CAMPAIGN
Washington, June 25.
Government and diplomatic exports today described the Korean war as the second stage of the Russion campaign to subjugate the entire Far East by means of puppet regimes.
The first stage was the Russian conquest of China through, the Communist regime. Now the Russians are pushing out from the regime a two- pronged Pincer movement against other Asiatic States,
The drive into Korea is one of those. The other is pushing though Indo-China where the puppet clique under Ho Chi-minh is trying to capture that country.

Tokyo, June 25. Australia would play an important role in any **Pacific Pact designed to moot the throat of Communist aggression which was dramatically called to the attention of the world today by the declaration of war in Korea, sources closo to General Douglas MacArthur said. General MacArthur long has been in favour of a Pacific Pact, as has been, suggested by Aus- tralia.
It is known here in informed quarters that SCAP would be inclined to accept the overall command of any group which had as its aim the halting of Communism.
General MacArthur has been discussing Pacific strategy during the past week with the U.S. De- fence Secretary, Mr. Loula John- son, and the Chairman of the U.S. Jaint Chiefs of Staff. Genera! Omar Bradley.
