Deluded Peace Lovers

THE Warsaw "World Peace Congress"

is producing much sound and fury well calculated to impress those people who believe that dishonourable peace is better than disputation. But to the discerning the main functions of this congress are clear enough. In the first place the "World Peace Move- ment is a propagandist exploitation of the universal desire for peace designed to sap the moral capacity of the world- for resistance to further Soviet 'expan ston. Secondly it seeks by (organised sabotage and subversion to paralyse: Western rearmament, mado imporative

And during the last half of the year this second aim has become more prominent. Thus the "World Peace Congress" at Stockholm last March called for the setting up of "peace committees at the place of work; the meeting of the Executive Bureau of the Communist-controlled Federation of Trade Unions at Budapest in May of this year became even more explicit when it called for concrete action to reduce or limit-armament manufacture.”.

pons partly serves the propagandist function of deflecting world attention from Russia's sabotage of the inter- nationalisation of atomic energy in the UN Atomic Energy Commission; partly it is directed towards neutralising the only weapon which the West has at the moment to set against Russia's huge military superiority in other weapons. But so far the success of this large- scale Russian manoeuvre has been very limited outside the Iron Curtain; and the original choice of Sheffield for the

second "World Peace Congress" was, perhaps, an indication that this relative failure was realised in Moscow and that the 'controllers of the operation felt they had to do something dramatic to galvanise the movement in the Western world-an intention now frustrated by the cool vigilance of the British govorn ment. Nevertheless, it is well to bear in mind that any major success of this World Peaco Movement" in the world would bring war immeasurably nearer: for it would remove tho. checks on Russian military power which now alone stand between the world and another general war; and it would also. remove the prospect of building a new world balance of power which is the only basis now in sight on which agree- ment for the peaceful co-existence of the Soviet Union and the free world might be reached. It is the world crime of Communists that they exploit tho very desire for peace in order to destroy tho only basis on which the ponce can be saved, and it is a real tragedy that some gonuing peace lovers should allow themselves to be so deluded us to do the work of the gutuiles of peace and Bibliidiy,hén in flest

Manchurian Border

OMINOUS REPORTS OF NEW ENEMY BUILD-UP IN NORTHEAST

Chinese Build Reservoir Defences

From Lional Crane

Tokyo, Nov. 21.

American troops on the Manchurian border at Hyosanjin are doing all they can tonight to consolidate their position.

Their immediate orders are “hold what you have" and at present there are no plans to move either east or west from this, the most northerly stronghold.

Instead, they are bringing up reserves to strengthen the line, digging gun positions and sending out defensive patrols.

They have learned a lesson from the South Koreans who dashed up to the Yalu River unescorted and they are determined not to make this another Chosan.

Although the advance cuts the enemy forces in two, there are ominous reports coming in of fresh enemy build-up in the extreme northeast of Korea. Prisoners have said that a large force of Chinese and North Koreans are now just south of the border there. This force is recruiting young men from local villages and towns which used to be one of the strongest Japanese military

areas.

There is a good network of roads leading

south from this district and if an attack is being planned it will almost certainly be towards the coastal town of the port of Nanam just below

Chooriin.
