SOKOLSKY THE HIDDEN HAND attempt is being made by the e Department to give the impression that Stalin is squeez- ing Mao tze-Tung v hard an? that he might rebel. The New York Times gives considerable stress the tendentious stories on t ject. Although the detail accounts are historically incorrect, they present the picture that the State Department wishes to prevail in this country. The object is to save Mr. Acheson from criticism. Mr. Acheson, to keep e the myth of Mao tze-Tung's “Titoism” upon which he has gambled the future of the Uniied States—and even Tito remains a gamble—em- rhasized the fact that Soviet Rus- sia is demanding the separation of Tcngo!

For years, prior to 1931, the Chinese and Japanese vied for control of this area, and eventually the Japanese took it. This area is so situated that it is either part of Mongolia or of Man- churia. Therefore, it must be dealt with as such At Yalta, it Stalin, Roosevelt, as follows “The status quo in Outer Mon- golia (the Mongolian People’s Re- public) shall be preserved;. . . “It is understgod that the agree- ment concerning Outer Mongolia and the ports and railroads referred to, above (Da Port Arthur and the Manchurian railroads) will re- quire concurrence of Generalissimo Chiang kai The President will take measures in order to ob- tain this concurrence on advice from Marshal Stalin.” So, it was not only fixed that Mongolia should be required to re- main part of the Soviet system, but that Roosevelt would coer Chiang kai-Shek to agree to i to like it. (T. V. Soong, shortly after Yalta, went to Moscow to arrange treaty between China and Russia- a 30 years treaty of reace and triendship.) As for Manchuria, the . Japanese had certain rights in Manchuria —which Russia had tried to steal from China in 1895—by virtue of the Portsmouth Treaty (1905) end- was agreed between and Churchill, ing the Russo-Japanese war. Those | rights were incorporated in a ser- ies of agreements with China, some tona fide, some accomplished by bribery. From 1915 to 1931, the relations between China and Japan were disturked on the issue of Man- churia, leading eventually to the seizure of the country by Japan in 1931. The Chinese claimed Man- churia as Chinese territory; the Japanese and Russians had de- manded special rights. At Yalta, Stalin, Churchill (1945) agreed: “The former rights viclated by treacherous attack apan in 1 of Russia (B) the commercial port of Dairen shall be internationalized, pre-eminent inte) s of the Soviet Union in this port being leomem Roosevelt and 904 shall be restored. | from THE EMPIRE 120 YEARS AGO FEBRUARY 4, 1930 Earlier events were recalled at the first noon meeting of the year of the American Legion post. H. G. Walmsley said the noon programs were to give members who could not attend evening sessions an oppor- | tunity to keep up on post activities. Historian E. M. Polley read a his- tory of the local post which recorded that the first informal meeting was held late in the summer of 1919. On October 28, about 50 men of the Channel gathered to perfect an organization. The first meeting on record was that of December 8, 1919, when a report on the national convention was made by George Getchell, who had been appointed the First Department Commander of Alaska. After the first year, the Legion had more than 100 members. Post Commanders, starting with Dr. H. C. DeVighne, 1920, were: Jack Woodward, A. C. Fisher, | Homer Nordling, J. F. Starr, J. W. Kehoe, W. B. King, Harry Sperling, M. H. Sides, H. W. Frawley, William Myren, Fred Habernicht, Ed Herr- mann and Claud Helgesen, the 1930 commander. 1 [ elected for i On his way to Paris ‘to make whoopee,” Walter (Death Valley) Scott, had learned he was broke, and returned to Kansas City, Mo.
