See Blueprint For Expansion Handed Russia

By J. M. ROBERTS. JR. Associated Press News Analyst State Secretary Dean Acheson,

Ql-YYIQUSU’ acting under domestic political pressure, has painted an unhappy picture of the United States‘ ability to d-o anything about the Communist advance in Asia. some aspects oi which might better have been left un- defined.

B)’ outlining the areas where the United States would be forced to present s firm and unyielding front, elven to the point of war, s blueprint is also handed to Rus- sia of the areas including practically the entire Asiatic con- tinent —— where penetration can be carried on practically without danger.

The Secretary does not say that the U. S. will do nothing in Burma, lndo-China, India and all the other places which are threat- encd as the Communists consoli- date their conquest oi China. But the initiative is left to the peoples ‘of Asia. Help — apparently limit- ed under present concepts to moral and economic — migaht go out on an "as asked" and "as available" basis.

Acheson is known to be decip- ly sincere in his belief that the United States cannot “move in" to drive these peoples the way Am- erican policy wants them to go. The unhappy part of it all is that

there is little promise of con- crete stipport no matter what they do.

KELOWNA, B. C., Jan. 1.'i—(CP) —-An official tonight hiked the damage estimate for this morn- ing's destruction of the Rutland Cold Storage Plant here to close to $900,000.

LONDON, Jan. 13~ (AP)—Brl- taln is aiming at. another sharp out in dollar spending for food, tobacco and raw materials to pre- pare for the end of Marshall aid in 1952.

This was disclosed tonight in an official memorandum submitted to the organization for‘ Etiropean Economic Caz-operation.

The drop in purchases from the dollar areas will be accompanied by the cutback in Marshall old funds expected for Britain in the next two years.

British planning is on the us- sumption, the memorandum ‘said, that its Marshall aid funds would be $720,000,000 for 1950-51, and $480,000,000 for 1951-52.

In the current 1949-50 period, Britain is receiving Marshall aid help at the rate of $920,000,000 a year. The Marshall aid fiscal year begins July 1.

Britain's dollar spending, mostly in the United States and Canada, was $1,544,600.000 in 1948-49.

It now is in the process of re- ducing these dollar expenses to $1,389,100,000 for the current year of 1049-50.

Ils target is to Whittle these dollar costs to 31.170.700.000 I91‘ 1950-51, and to 31.039.600.000 for 1951-52.

While dollar purchases of pet- roleum products will be slashed, Britain plans to increase crude oil purchases from $20,700,000 in 1949- 50 to $44,000,000 in 1951-52.

The country has built up con- siderable stocks of raw cotton. Britain expects to spend on cot- ton $118,600,000 in 1050-51, and $133,600,000 in 1951-52.

The memorandum said the cro- nomic planning was based on the assumption that U. S. business conditions will remain unchanged and continue to provide Britain with a market for dollar earnings. and the prices of dollar supplies would stay around the icvcl of Oct. 20, 1949.

Believe New . Sino-Soviet Pact (Ionnipg

By ARTHUR GAVSHON LONDON, Jan. l3 -—- (AP) information reaching a major Western Power from Moscow says Russia is diokering for new naval and military bases in Communist Ohina.

A qualified informant, reporting this tonight, stressed the informa- tion may be speculative in view of the highly secret nature of cur- rent Sine-Soviet Moscow talks.

However, officials representing

two other Western Powers said there is good reason to believe a defence. trade and friendship pact between Russia and Communist China is on iis way.

The informant who new bases said that ii his in- formation was correct, Russia would have much firmer military control over China than she has today.

Relations between Russia and China now are governed by s i945 pact entered into by Gener- alissimo Chiang Kai-Shek‘s Na- tionalist regime.

lLs l.(‘i'lllS made Russia joint owner of the South and Eastern lVlanchurian Railways, Port Arthur a Joint Sine-Soviet naval base, and Dairen a free port. Many Man- churlan and Outer Mongolian communications were placed un- dcr joint control, too.

Moscow radio announced about two months ago the Peiping re- gime intendcd "to review all treaties concluded by the Kuo- mintang (Nationalists) with fer- elgn powers and, according to their nature, revise, snnul or re- cognize them."

This review and tho formula- tion of now trade and money re- lations with Russia are prmum- ed to be the purpose of Mao Tze- Tung‘s current mission to Moscow.
