Japan Invited To Join West Against Communist Bloc

FREE CHOICE OFFERED

Tokyo, Feb. 2.

Mr John Foster Dulles, President Truman's special envoy, today invited Japan to join the West in "collective protection against direct aggres- sion."

But he emphasised that this offer to become a full partner in the anti-Communist group "is not a choice which the United States is going to im- 'pose upon Japan. It is an invitation. The choice must be Japan's own choice.

After a sensational start, Australia were 52 runs for one wicket at the end of the morning session's play in the first day of the Fourth Test Match, which started at Adelaide today. It had taken the batsmen an hour and a half to make these runs.

Lindsay Hassett won the toss and decided to take first lease of what looked to be a perfect wicket, with ideal warm and sunny weather con- ditions.

Although Australia had already won the Ashes, in- terest in this Test was not lacking. The attendance this morning reached a figure of about 18,000, and when Archer and Morris took their places at the crease as Australia's opening pair, main interest was centred on left-hander Morris, who so far has not been able to over- come the "Bedser hoodoo."

The collective security envisaged within the North Atlantic Pact calls, therefore, for sustaining States, the United assistance from particularly in the way of production and raw materials for production. The has been point is self-evident, but underscored since the war by the vital Aid Plan necessity of the Marshall without which no West European coun- try could have rebuilt its basic indus-* tries or to make them self-supporting. Basically speaking, General Eisenhower is asking approval for another version of the Marshall Plan, only this time to make the democratic nations strong enough to resist military, instead of economic Communism. But, as General Eisenhower has implied in his report to Congress, the West European Powers must qualify for this American aid, the chief qualification being willingness and determination to contribute effec- tive military forces, to reconvert in- dustry wherever needed into defence production, to achieve a unity of pur- pose, and to make sacrifices in ratio to manpower and production facilities. And no member of the North Atlantic alliance or their friends can cavil at this demand. Solf-help is an necessary an ingredient of resistance to aggression as ald from overseas. The burden to be borne by the United States in the crusade to save the world from Communist aggression has to bo heavy because of that nation's vast resources, but America is entitled to expect the mako aid to recipients of <her fact which

Congress ranks as evaluation of the international situa- tion, the unpreparedness of Western Europe to meet any act of aggression, and the dominant role which the United States must play if the free world is to have its future security assured by being in a position to deter any con- templated aggression by Soviet Russia and her satellites. General Eisenhower did not paint a particularly rosy picture of the situation in Western Europe. able to discern a While he "rejuvenated spirit of resistance and determination to live as free men" among the North Atlantic countries, he depressed by the clearly "discouragement, defeatism and des- truction that had been visited Europe.". So far as defeatism is con- cerned, we imagine the General dis- covered a notable exception in Britain where, while having good reason to feel discouraged after helping materially to win World War II, and while having suffered considerable physical destruc- tion to cities, towns and villages, the people are in no two minds about their determination and ability to resist aggression, whether of a military or of political nature.
