Japs Take Dim View Of Russia And Communism

TQKYQ, Jan, 19 __ (AP) - The recent distress of the Russian ship Dvlna with aao vossensers 01f Southern Hokkaido was the latest in a series of "mistakes" and "bad breaks" which have helped reduce Communism to "a smouldering ember" in Japan, the NIPPON Times said today. ',

The Dvinu radioed Jan, '7 that it was leaking badly in heavy seas. It: passengers later were removed to another Russian vessrl and the Dving was towed to Kushiro. Hok- kaido. Kyodo. Japanese news ag- ency. reported today the Dvlntl was expected to resume its Jvllffley 1°- nlght or early tomorrow.

A special article lu the English- lunguagc Nippon Times by Klmpcl Sheba. executive editor. took note that, the Dvlna incident disclosed Russian vessels were plying north- ern waters with passengers. pointed to Russian contentions the Soviets were unqble to rellilififlle Japanese prisoners at this time of year because of adverse conditions.

Only a few days before. Sheba wrote. Hyuchi Tokuda. lecretsfl- gendral and other officials of the Japanese Ccmmunist Party bud called on the Russian mission to request reconsideration oj’ Mos- cow's refusal to maintain the re- patriation schedule during winter.

Maj-Gen. A.P. Kslenko. acting head of the mission. told the dol- qgntlon, Sheba sold. that it would be "foolish to move large numbers

of people in soviet waters during-

wlnter." Kislsnko was quoted as paying the American proposal to send lcebreakers to Siberia in or- der to continue the repatriation program would be of little assist- ance.

The Dvlna. however. apparently came from the Kurlles, where 3.000 Japanese are believed interned.

“The question which many Japan- eaa want to ask." she-on wrote. "l! if the Rifsfans can transport large number. of , aengera, why can't thOy permit American ahlPl CL" rylng Japanese repatrlates to tra- verse tbeae same waters?"

Japanese ’ have demanded re- peatedly the return of ,tena of thousands of former servicemen and civilians still held by the Rus- alanl. up to Jan- to." lccordius to Allied headquarters. 5.040.870 Jap- anese had been repatriated-main- 1_ by the United States. The Rus- sIan mission recently announced Russian repatriation would be suspended until April because of winter wonditiona. _

"twill be good enough to share my duties as well as my desk."

“llc has done so in the past." he added.

Mr. St. Laurent has been ment- ioned as Mr. King's personal choice as his successor upon retirement.

Means Another By-lilection

The Ptrlme Ministcr- eafd he had not had. time In consider. when o. by - election

will be held to fill Mr. Mackenzie! seat. in the Commons as M-r. Mac- kenzie had left. the Cabinet only an hour ago.

llowcver, the by-elcctiion may be announced at the same time as the vote in Yale. B.C.. which also is without an incumbent since the re- cent resignation of drote Stirling. the Progressive Conservative mem- ber. The Cmnmons seat for the riding of Ontario also has been made vacant through the death of W.E. N. Sinclair, Liberal. but Mr. King lairlde no reference to it.

Cleaning up odds and ends of questions. he said he could say nothing about the possibility of the sale of margarine being legalized in Canada. and had nothing to re- port on a. new president for Trans- Canada Air Lines.

He expressed hope Fulfilment would vote Lhe money necessary for four lmore parliamentary as- sistants being planned to help Cabinet Ministers.

Dealing with the Cabinet changes. Mr. King observed that Mr, Mac- kcnzlc's appointment to the Senate loaves British Columbia without representation in the COHMII. bu! salll this would be for "lust o short time." However, for the mo- ment. he was not in a position to say when a B.C. representative would be appointed. .

Of Mr. Mackenzie. 5'7. and one of the oldest members of his Cab- inet in point of service. the Prime Minister said his health has not been what he might have wished for some time past and he had asked to be relieved of some of his duties.

Mr, King said he felt it would be "unfortunate" if Mr. Macken- zic's services to Pnrllomflll- and the country were not used in fut- ure so bud appointed the Minis- tertto the SEGME-

"r may say." he went on. "that I don't like losing from the Cab- inet a mcmbcr who has been with me more than any‘ other Mniater but the appointment to the Sen- ate is in the n'ature of a promo- lion."

‘Mr. Mackenzie entered the Cab- inet in i930 as Minister of Immi- gration. -
