Church- Ml is so e& he is reported to be ready & ..y to Moscow at a! moment's notice. As for the “deeds,” the Soviets will sacrifice a few pawns in their chess game — pieces that) are not too important because, they will strengthen the other pieces or factors in the game to} which they will hold on. Thus, knowing the psychology of the peace-craving free world, Rus- sia’s proposal to exchange a few sick and wounded prisoners has, already brought a wide demand) for peace talks. A Russian “Deed” ‘This is what the Russians call) ja “deed.” They may even agree |-~for a price—to stop the fight- ing in Korea, knowing well they can frustrate the main objective jof the war from the Allied side, which has been to get a “united| Korea.” This objective has al- ready been discarded by the British, who are willing to agree to a “divided Korea.” Also the’ British are willing, if other’ terms are met, to admit Red China into the United Nations,| whereas Washington is not. This is typical of the opportunities for dissension which the Soviets welcome. The peace palavers will go on’ valuable time to manufacture more atomic bombs, Moscow will! then take the risk of further aggression and will assume that the free world will remain paci- fistic. But such aggression will inevitably be met with force when the free world 4s disillu- sioned, and then the third world war will come just as surely as the bombardment of Poland came after the appeasement at, Munich. Events are drifting according to historical precedent and that| could mean large-scale war jwithin three years, though the 'exact length of the interval may’ jhave to be measured by the time the Allies will give Moscow to jbulld up her machinery and needed raw materials, For al- lready the true purpose of the “peace talks” can be seen clearly—it is to open up East, and West trade, which, unfor-| tunately, the British are eager to do.
