Korea peace on the basis of the agreement already reached at Pan- munjon.”’ Radio Peking blasted Chiang Kai-shek’s statement that the ‘China mainland would be attack- ed with U.S. air and naval sup- port, It charged Eisenhower with aiming to “expand the war to an all-out military offensive against the Asian people’s liberation move- ment in Indochina, Malaya and elsewhere. Plunder and enslave- ment would be the fate of Asia under the Eisenhower policy.” In the U.S. Democratic Senator M. Neely of West Virginia charg- © ed that Eisenhower acts “like a desperate gambler at Monte Car- lo,” and his policy might touch off _a hideous. atomie worldwide war. “If this be the result Eisenhower will be execrated to the end of his days.” _ a ; What. is the policy that calls forth such worldwide condemna- tion? V John Foster Dulles, U.S. foreign secretary on January 27 . ‘in a ‘radio speech broadcast throughout the world declared that the U.S. would get tougher, that Britain, France and West Germany must toe the line. He predicted expansion of aggressive military operations in Korea ‘and Asia. This produced anger and fear jn Europe. ° V_ US. President Kisenhower in his February 2 address to Con- gress declared for a “military solu- tion” of the Korean war that “will inevitably affect” the mainland of China, Formosa, Indochina ahd Malaya. He spelled out policy for U.S. air, naval and military ag- gression on People’s China from Formosa under the screen of “de- neutralizing Chiang Kai-shek.” ° As major foreign policy aims, he declared for “flow of private American invest- ment abroad.” This, he emphasiz- ed, “involves as a serious and ex- plicit purpose of our foreign pol- icy the encouragement of a hos- pitable climate for such investment in foreign nations.” Also he de- manded: “From the rest of the world ... greater amounts of im- portant raw materials.” V_ The day after U.S. Admiral Radford, chief of the U.S. Fleet im the Pacific declared that Eisen- hower supported a “tight block- ade” of People’s China, Republi- can Congressman Dewey Short, chairman of the Armed Services Committee declared that U.S. policy was “to take the offensive throughout the world.” : V That same day General - Bradford, U.S. chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff said that Chiang Kai-shek assaults against the Chinese mainland depended up- on “the military aid we will give him, as well as how much naval and air support we are willing to give in making) raids and attacks.” V_ John Foster Dulles, hastily visited West Europe capitals, laid down ultimatums to France, Italy, West Germany, Belgium, the flood- stricken Netherlands, and Luxem- burg to ratify the Bonn and Paris “agreements” to “rearm the Ger- increasing the ~ mans.” Do this, Dulles ordered, by April 20, or the U.S. will cut its Mutual Security allotments. V Dulles demanded that Bri- tain undertake full responsibility in the projected European Army which the U.S. plans around a core of 500,000 West German troops. It is reported from Lon- Ses: ‘ MOSCOW HEN G. Malenkov, in his re- port to the 19th Congress of the Communist Party of the So- viet Union, announced that during’ the past three years the net in- crease in population in the USSR amounted to 9,500,000 his remark was greeted by prolonged ap- plause. Made at a time when voices are being raised in many parts of the world to preach ‘alarm and des- pondency, because of the world’s . expanding population, this state- ment — the spirit in which it was - given as well as that in which it was received — is of profound . significance. \ It has been calculated that the measures for irrigating and water- ing new territories, as «well as those for raising the productivity of plants, now being undertaken in the USSR will make it possible for 100 million extra mouths to be fed. > a But it is not only because of the practical steps that are being taken in many parts of their vast country that Soviet people regard — the rapid increase in their numbers without anxiety. They are con- vineed that man’s power of learn- ing the secrets of living nature is limitless and that armed - witlhy knoweldge they can force any form of animal or plant to change more quickly and in a direction de- sirable to man. : -In the words of Stalin it is an indisputable fact that “the world and its laws are fully knowable, that our knowledge of the laws of. nature, tested by experiment and practice, is authentic knowledge . having the validity of objective ‘truth, and that there are no things _ in the world which are unknow-— able, but only things which are still not known, but which will be disclosed and made known by the efforts of science and practice.” e ’ The measures being taken in the USSR to raise more food are bas- | Soviet biologists Bukasov and Karerar exainine new high-yielding, disease-resisting potato plants. don that the Churchill Tory gov- ernment is discussing this issue with Canada, Australia and New Zealand. V West European finance chiefs have been ordered to come to Washington to ‘consult” during the next few weeks. These are the expressions of the Dulles-Eisenhower foreign policy which add up to serious danger for Canada and the world. The U.S. government is aggra- vating the menace of war. The menace can only be met by every peace-loving Canadian demanding: Hands Off China! Peace Now in Korea! The USSR: One country that does not fear increased population _By RALPH PARKER» ed on the science of Michurinist biology. Ivan Vladimirovich Mi- churin was, before the 1917 Re- volution, a lone figure in Russian science, persecuted by reaction- ‘aries in science and society. Today the Soviet people are putting his brilliant theories into practice on a scale he could never dream of. In the words of Academician Stoletov, ‘“Michurin’s theory of training is based on the premise that heredity. of plants can be altered by regulating the condi- tions of life,-that heredity can be changed in ‘the required direction, that the properties ‘acquired by plants in the process of their di- rected alteration are inherited and augmented in the course of gener- ations. The capacity of plants and animals to inherit characters and properties acquired by vege- table and animal organisms in the course of their development, is one of the fundamental principles of Michurin’s theory of training.” Closely. linked with Michurin’s work is the science of the soil. Dokuchayev and Kostychev were its founders; its elements were further developed by the out- standing Russian scientist, V. .R, Williams. In his researches Williams al- ways considered soil in its de- velopment. This distinguished him from all his precursers engaged in the study of soil physics. He also differed from most theoreticians of his time by approaching his task from the viewpoint of prac- tical requirements necessary for raising the crop yields. The conclusions that Williams arrived at after many years of study of soil formation served him as the scientific basis for an elab- oration of the travopolye system of farming, which is undoubtedly his greatast gift to his people. This system covers the inter- connected theories of restoring’ and raising the fertility of the soil, of the system of fertilizing and of the organization of agri- cultural areas. The travopolye system of farming increases the productivity of agricultural plants and at the same time improves the soil itself. Collective and _ state farms in the Soviet Union have convincingly proved that vields increase continuously if the trav- opolye system is mastered. In 1948, the Soviet government launched‘ the great program of agricultural development generally known as the Stalin plan for re- making nature, a plan that prov- ides for the subjugation of the elemental forces of nature to the will of man. Today the work of Michurin and Williams is being carried forward by Lysenko. Michurin and Ly- senko discovered the possibility of altering the nature of plants in the required direction by regulat- ing the conditions of life. The en- vironment, the conditions of life . determine the evolution of plants. Armed with knowledge of the demands made by plants on ¢con- ditions of life, Lysenko is able to go further in changing the na- ture, including the hereditary properties, of the plant for the benefit of man. ; Lysenko has further developed _the main principle of Michurin’s theory — that of altering the na- ture of plants in a directed man- ner, including hybridization as a means of such alteration. : With Michurin, Williams, Ly- ‘senko as their guides, Soviet peo- ple are confidently tackling the problem of feeding tens of mil- lions of new mouths. When, in 1925, Kalinin spoke of the future scientific achievements of Michur- in, the latter had only a few score followers. Today ~ Michurinists form a host that includes many thousands of outstanding investig- ators working on farms through- out the Soviet Union. PACIFIC TRIBUNE — FEBRUARY 20, 1953— PAGE9
