RUSSIAN BASES
USE BY ALLIES PROBABLE NEW YORK, Nov. 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 Edward Carter, on his return from a tour of China, Russia and India. Mr Carter explained that the Soviet attituide toward Japan was originally motivated by Marshal Stalin’s determination to avoid a war on two fronts. However, with the Wehrmacht definitely on the run, he added, Russia probably felt strung enough to guard her eastern flank and after the defeat of Germany she would easily discover Japanese violations of the neutrality treaty justifying the granting to the Allies of her eastern land, sea and air bases.
