FAR EAST HOLDS DESTINY OF U. §.; EDITOR VOUCHES China Newsman Tells Graduates Pages of Asia Book Just Now Opening COLUMBIA, Mo., June 7. — The future destiny of this country lies in the Pacific and the countries of the Orient, John B. Powell, former editor of the China Weekly Review, told graduating students the Uni- versity of Missouri commencement exercises today. Powell, who lost most of both feet in a Jap prison camp, was grad- uated from the University in 1910. “The turning of the tide of war from the Atlantic to the Pacific has ccmpelled us to concentrate our at- tention upon a section of the earth’s surface which heretofore has been a clesed book to most Americans,” he asserted, “but while unknown to most of us it is a part of the world which is likely to exert a profound influence upon the future of our na- tion.” Powell said that few Americans realized that fighting in far-off Malay would cut off most of this nation’s tin supply and said it was not wuntil the t, of war in the Orient that we realized how much we depended upon the Far t for essential supplizs for our industries, the arts and everyday household economy. “I thing that if we had concen- trated more of our thought upon Acia and developments in that quar- ter of the globe that the present world war might have been avoided,” Powell continued. “No one of any intelligence any longer disputes the fact that World War II actually stagted in 1931 when Japan violated the Washington Conference Treaties @ the League of Nations Covenant ard inveded China’s Manchurian Orient on the " Powell countries of the vill make heavy demands Unit:d States after the war predicted. “They are Chil Rus- slan Siberia and Bri India.
