THE
FAR
EAST
SITUATION
.
.
.
With
the
end
of
the
European
war,
the
great
question
oi
iv-iao
ucico
m
the
Far
East
will
become
acute.
An
agreement
on
international
security
problems
(Dumbarton
Oaks),
on
the
continuation
of
lend-lease
supplies
to
Russia,
perhaps
even
on
the
distribution
of
German
reparations,
can
only
be
achieved
when
Russian
policies
in
the
Far
East
are
clarified.
This
problem
was
not
on
the
agenda
at
Teheran.
A
new
inter-Allied
conference
in
which
Stalin
will
participate
will
probably
take
place
only
when
Stalin
is
ready
to
agree
on
Russia's
participation
in
the
Far
Eastern
war.
From
the
military
viewpoint,
it
is
possible
for
the
American-British
forces
to
continue
successfully
the
offensive
against
Japan
without
Russian
participation.
But
American
bases
in
Alaska
and
the
Aleutians
can
be
used
effectively
for
direct
attacks
against
Japan
only
if
Russian
bases
are
available.
With
Russian
bases,
the
war
could
be
brought
to
an
end
within
a
few
months.
We
may
expect
that
Russia's
Far
Eastern
policies
will
be
influenced
by
her
traditional
interests
in
the
Far
East.
Czarist
Russia
used
to
have
"spheres
of
influence"
in
Mongolia
and
Manchuria
and,
to
some
extent,
in
Korea.
It
is
precisely
these
areas
that
Japan
must
fight
for
unless
she
is
to
give
up
her
position-
as
a-
"great
power."
Russian
policies
will
try
to
avoid
great
land
battles
against
Japanese
armies
in
Manchuria,
even
though
Russian
armies
would
be
aided
by
American
arms
and
air
power.
Russia
will
also
want
to
keep
complete
control
of
its
Far
Eastern
bases.
She
will
time
her
participation
in
the
war
against
Japan
with
deterioration
of
the
Japanese
position
in
Manchuria.
Chiang
Kai-Shek
will
pass
through
the
most
dif
ficult
-period
of
his
political
career
in
the
next
few
months.
Many
of
his
political
supporters
inside
China
are
doubtful
about
his
political
future.
This
refers
in
particular
to
some
influential
local
war
leaders
and
also
to
many
intellectuals.
Pessimism
regarding
Chiangs
future
is
based
on
the
belief
that
Japan
will
be
defeated
before
there
is
a
major
drive
of
a
land
armies
from
the
West
against
Japan's
position?
in
eastern
and
northeastern
China.
If
Japan's
empire
collapses
mainly
as
the
result
of
combined
naval
and
air
borne
actions,
China
will
be
liberated
but
Chiang
Kai-Shek
will
be
left
in
a
difficult
internal
position.
The
most
important
strategic
areas
of
China
are
the
coastal
regions,
which
are
now
under
the
complete
control
of
Japan.
At
the
moment,
of
Japan's
collapse
new
local
leaders
may
arise
in
these
areas;
Wang
Chin-Wei,
Japan's
puppet,
might
even
retain
some
importance.
In
either
case,
Chiang
Kai-Shek
would
be
left
in
a
strategically
unimportant
area,
far
away
from
big
towns
and
coastal
regions.
Another
strategic
area
of
China
is
Manchuria.
But
the
Red
Army
is
nearer
Manchuria
than
Chiang
Kai-Shek's
forces.
Thus
it
is
thearetically
possible
that
the
Red
Army
would
be
able
to
enter
Manchuria
first
during
a
downfall
of
the
Japanese
empire,
accepting
unofficial
protection
from
Russia.
Such
a
move
would
complete
the
isolation
of
Chiang
Kai-Shek,
a
possibility
that
is
much
feared
by
many
members
of
the
Kuomintang.
Stronger
material
support
for
Chiang
Kai-Shek
will
become
possible
only
next
year,
when
new
supply
routes
from
India
to
Chungking
will
be
available.

after
more
than
two
years
in

Alberta,
the
Mackenzie
River
district,
the
Yukon,
and
Alaska
as
consultant
and
his
torian
to
the
Northwest
Service
Command,
United

Army.
With
headquarters
in
Edmonton,
where
he
was
assisted
by
Mrs.
Finnie,
he
spent,
about
50
percent
of
his
time
in
the
field,
travelling
by

For

United
8tates
Army,
and
the
civilian
constructors
of
Canol
and
the
Alaska

Mr.
Finnie
had
high
praise.
"I
have
been
back
and
forth
over
the
Alaska
Highway
repeatedly,
all
the
way
from
Dawson
Creek
to
Fair
banks,
and
had
the
good
fortune
X
to
be
present
at
the
closing
of
the
last
gap
in
it
as
an
all-weather
artery.
It
Is
a
wonderful
road."
"Canol
Is
a
war
project
whose
value
Is
enduring,"
said
Mr.
Finnic
"It
has
hastened
the
development
of
our
Far
Northwest
by
many
years
besides
serving
Its
immediate
purpose
of
supplying
local
fuel
for
military
needs
In
the
Yukon

In
Its
benefits
both
Canada
and
