Spender
I do not doubt whatever, that the prime aim of Russia in relation to Japan is at least the nuclearization of Japan, but over and above that its purpose is to seek by whatever means are open to, by blandishment, by pressure, by internal operations, to bring Japan into the orbit of the Soviet and Communist influence. After all, Stalin said a long time ago, that if that could be accomplished, the belief of the Soviets was, the communist world would be invincible. so any attempt by Russia or by the communists to attract Japan into its orbit, is one which causes concern, not only to us, but to all the free world, whose purpose ought to be to do whatever it can to enable Japan to develop and be maintained as a democratic country.
