BASES IN SIBERIA
MAY BE MADE AVAILABLE BY SOVIET FOR USE AGAINST JAPAN. OPINION OF AMERICAN INQUIRER. ♦ (By Telegraph— Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, November 23. American observers in Russia believe that the Soviet Union will grant the United States military bases against Japan as soon as American forces demonstrate their ability to hold the bases against any possible Japanese attack. This was stated by the general secretary of the Institute of Pacific Relations, Mr A. D. Ward-Carter, on his return from a tour of China, Russia and India. 1 Mr Carter explained that the Soviet attitude toward Japan was originally motivated by Marshal Stalin’s determination to avoid a two-front war. However, with the Wehrmacht definitely on the run, Russia probably feels strong enough to guard her eastern flank and after Germany’s defeat will easily discover Japanese violations of the neutrality treaty, justifying granting the Allies eastern land, sea and air 10clS6S. Mr’ William Holland, a member of the staff of the institute, who accompanied Mr Carter, said that Chinese inflation had reached a runaway stage in which industry was seriously curtailed because manufacturers found it more profitable to hoard raw material than to produce. The morale of American service men in China was seriously affected by inflation, poor living conditions and lack of the prospect of early action against Japan.
