Soviet Strategy In Far East
THE
THE most recent Soviet contribution to the confused issues in the Far East is the demand, formally expressed, that Emperor Hirohito be tried A B "war criminal."
This particular move in a context of nerves should not be divorced from the other moves that are being made, nor should it be taken too seriously. It may be taken for granted that the Kremlin does not for one moment seriously think there is a chance in a millon of the Emperor being so tried. The formality of making such a proposal, and the linking of it up with the recent trials of Japanese charged with making preparations for germ warfare, ia totally unrealistic and Moscow knows it. Thus the purpose of the request for Hirohito's trial is certainly not to achieve that end but simply to add one more element to the confusion that surrounds Far Eastern problems. There have been other Soviet actions all designed for the same purpose. Russian recognition of Ho Chi-minh in Indo-China, the United Nations boycott over the Issue of Chinese representation, the walk-out of the Soviet representative in the Tokyo talka, the calling of Mao Tse-tung and Chou En-lal to Moscow, all these are part of a master plan to keep the Western democracies off balance. The obvious Soviet strategy la to obtain preoccupation with minor maliers so that major issues may possibly I be overlooked. The fresh demand for Japanese war trials is manifestly only a device to deflect attention from the ques- tion of what has happened to Japanese prisoners taken by the Russfans. The

recognition of Ito Chi-minh is a hopeful device for splitting the policies of France, Britain and, more important, India. The objective is not so much accomplishment; the purpuse is embarrassment. The United Nations boycott is not inspired by any deep develion to principle, nor by any ardent regard for the dignity or success of an international instrument that the Soviet Union has repeatedly flouted: it is motivated by the desire to see divided counsels, inaction, sterile argument and apologetic chagrin. The strategy, neverthe- less, calls for an answer. Since what is desired is irresolution, the strategy can best be met by firmness of resolve. Since what is sought is disunion, it should be Incumbent upon the Western democracies and their associates to find promp! grounds for agreement. Since it is the Western nations, and notably the United States, which are supposed to be confused, every effort should be made to try harder than ever to think clearly and to act both wisely and boldly. The Western world- cannot afford to be diplomatically out- manoeuvred on issues revolving around the Far East. The decision, made simul. taneously by Britain and the United
States, to offer recognition to the Bao Dai regime is a welcome sign of a closing of ranks, for while slavish unanimity of action is not necessary, It is desirable that Anglo-American policies in the Far East should be as unifled as possible. Therein lles the best hopes for containment of: Soviet-directed Communism in the Orient.';-

100,000 To Be Used In Big Offensive
Singapore, Feb. 12.-Tens of thousands of Malayan civilians were being mobilised today for an intended knockout blow to Chinese Communist bands.
Officials said more than 100,000 citizens will take the offensive in "anti-bandît month" against the handful of jungle bands who for more than a year and a half have plagued the country with ter- rorist tactics. Just when they will go into action is known only to British Higher Commissioner Sir Henry Guerney.
The purpose of the operation is to make Mnlaya's plantations, towns, villages and jungle paths safe from Southeast Asian Communism.
