Asia No Threat,
Says McArthur
Tokyo, May 8 —(AP)— |
General MacArthur believes!;
that present American anil
other western bases in the
Pacific area can prevent any
aggressor amphibious*thrust from
Asia.
However, "'ho thinks preoccupa
tion of western lenders with Eur
ope has helped create a dangerous
situation in Asia \\hieh, In terms
of wealth and population, is at
least as important us Europe,
The supreme commander nf (he
Jatmnese uceupatlnn stressed these
points as lie’ has done . before;’—
in talking to a grnhp nf vlslfijig
Australian newsmen April 29,
authoritative sources disclosed to
day.
MncArthur's comments were
made with the uuderstnndlng that
he would not be quoted directly and
that the material would he used
only after the Australians returned
home. The party was due to reach
'Darwin, Australia, this afternoon,
but some stories based on his talk
apparently have been pubtished.
Three day» ago, after his con
ference with the Australian cor
respondents, MacArthur publicly
rebuked as “provocative imperti
nence a Russian charge that mgin-
tenance of American bases in Ja
pan and Okinawa violates occupa
tion policies. ‘ ■ \
He told the Russians Okinawa
was the United States’ oWn affair
and that both American and Brit
ish occupation bases in Japan
would continue, as long as the oc
cupation lasted, to be “maintained
in a condition of such adequacy
and preparedness as will insure the
fullest security, operational effi
ciency and most complete readiness 4
for any eventuality.”

deep sleep.
Fortunately a humane traveler
who had keen at the lost one’s par*’
