Comments On Current Flood ' Of Propaganda

(By J. M. Roberts, .lr.. Associated Press News Analyst)

Propaganda is flying as it has seldom flown before.

The Allies accuse Russia of aggressive intentions in Southeast Asia and issue the. nearest thing to an ultimatum that they will not take it lying down. The Kremlin lnvelghs against Allied activities in the Middle East. The United States denies the Russian charge that she is aiding Chinese Nationalist guerrilla for- cos in Burma. The first reaction. admittedly open to refutation, is "if not, why not?"

Germany keeps adding political demands to her price. Irritating, but not much different from the way all countries act.

The United Nations criticizes Russia for breaking her 1945 treaty of friendship with Nation- allst Chinm ignoring a score of other treaties broken by Russia. And 25 countries abstain.

The Korean truce talks have broke down because the Allies don't know what to do next and the Communists have just about what. they wanted-an almost- truce and a perpetual area of harrasamenf.

Part of this welter is merely a routine of the times. Part of it is due to extreme nervousness over where hell may break loose next.

In the U. 5.: the Allied warri- ing about Southeast Asia sounds like a reaction to recent Russian propaganda. Actually, it was a result of the recent Washington trl-power conference on what to do about Indo-China.

It is also an answer to those who feel the West should draw a ne and warn the Communists not to cross. Instead of dolnl mili- the United States, France and Britain warn that new Kore-as will be met by Korea-like action lot the United Nations.

It is a manifestation that the Allies now are arriving at the "position of strength" toward which they have been working for three years.

And today's turmoil is only the beginning of the nervousness which is bound to accompany the final steps in this attempt to create a balance of power.

cannot Ship illotheslo Korea.

OTTAWA, Jan. 29 - (GP) - In Korea there are hundreds of des- titute children in need of cloiihes.

In Canada there are at least two ions of clothes gathered for them.

so far nobody can find a way to get them to Korea.

Canadian Legion National head- quarters says two officers back from Korea brought the plight of children in Korea to the attention of the public in Saskatchewan.

The Women's Auxiliary of the Canadian Legion in that province went to work and rounded up two ions of clothes.

Then the trouble began-how to get them to Korea.

The Army says it can't handle them because they aren't military equipment. The Air Force says it can't fly two tons of clothing on the Trans-Bacific Airlift.

Lcglon -headquarters has tried those and other channels. so far without success. It's still trying but the clothes still are in Saskatche- iVaIl.
