Vladi- vostok, making her a close and dangerous neighbor to all the major powers except the United States. Along Russia's border are five international headaches: 1. The Balkans. Russia lacks outlets to the seas. Georgraphy makes the Dardanelles her only southwest window on the world. Russian policy, under the Czars as under Stalin, has been to try _ to obtain possession of this vital exit. threat at Turkey by another power would be a potential at the Turkish-owned gate. The two warring members of the in-Rome exist have indicated their winter plans call for a drive east and south. Turkey must be weighed in those plans. What will Russia do if the axis moves southeast? That's the headache in Rome and Berlin. That the axis does trust- Russia is indicated by Nazi troops in Rumania. Russia counters with troop concentrations on the Rumanian border. Russia could make a drive by the axis possible. A hostile Russia, backing Turkey, could delay it fatally. not POLLY AND HER PALS PAW PERKINS, ~YUH DONT CARE FER ME LIKE YuUH WLNST DID. W'f RSSIA: Everybody’s 5o Neighbor \LIET SOC AL//ST/REB ‘rans-Sii JAPAN'S HEADAGHE 2. Persian-Iraqu oil. This is Britain’s headache. Britain has important oil fields in this area. If Russia goes whole hog anti-British, those rich oil fields are too close for comfort. 3. India. Russia is just a skip and a jump through Afghanistan from Northern India. The Indian hill tribes have long been a big trouble to England. With open Russian support, they might precipi- tate a whopping problem through all India, already restive under the British Raj. 4. Militant China. Japan went hunting an empire and got this headache. The Chinese have holed up in Chungking, have so far re- sisted Japan's “new order in Asia.” Backbone of Chinese resistance is two roads, the Burma road and the old caravan route to Russia. Britain, backed by the U. S., has opened the Burma road. Russia never closed the route over which she has been sending supplies to China. If Russia went all-axis, and made a deal with Japan to close the road, it well might mean a speedy end to the China incident that has all but exhausted Japan and strengthen Japan greatly. If Russia ing ses aid to China, Japan will have her hands full. CUZ IF YUH DID, YUHD GIT P MORNIN’S MAKE TH’ FIRE LIKE YUH USE TA!

It is heavily fortified, an air and submarine base. It dominates the sea where Japan fishes for much of her food. What of Russia? Nobody knows. A pariah among nations for two decades, Russia has suddenly become the sweetheart of the powers, courted and wooed for her favors. Russia is being coy as a sophomore at her first dance. The Russo-German pacts of August, 1939, were Nazi coups. Freed from the threat of Russia on her back, Germany could engage the Allies. Russia made the war possible for Germany, and picked up Latyia, Esthonia, Lithuania and Bessarabia as her fee, Britain never stopped courting Russia. The axis seeks her favor. Even Japan is bowing and scraping for Russian friendship. Through it all Joe Stalin has gone inscrutably. None of the poweys trusts Russia. All fear the moves she could make. Russia’s is a position that permits driving a hard bargain. By CLIFF STERRETT THE WEATHER (By the U. S. Weather Bureau) .
