There is increasing doubt whether Mao Tze-tung will go all out in his plans for military action against Tibet, however. By the threats already made, he hasy forced the Indian Government to reexamine its en- tire policy respecting Red China. And this is & serious matter, for India in the last six months has been Communist China’s best friend — a far better friend, in reality, than the Soviet Union. India is not only the country most directly threatened by the proposal to enforce Communism on Tibet. It also is the country best able to puhish Mao's regime, simply by withdrawing the friendly support it has given to Red China, at the UN .\mll elsewhere in world polities. However, we have no wish to quibble. We sug- gest, instead, that every householder and property owner in Juneau make a thorough check of his prem- ises, or the premises he rents and see to it that any unsafe conditions are corrected at once.
