3. Revolution Is Our Business.

Author

Douglas, William O.

Subjects
PRACTICAL politics, WAR, WEALTH, BUSINESS
Abstract

There is much talk these days of war. The author, of course, is not in a position to know, but he has a feeling that fears of the U.S. are often misplaced. He has a feeling that one has misinterpreted and misjudged some of the forces in the world. The battle for Asia is at the political level, and in that sense, the author thinks everybody in the U.S. has misinterpreted signs of the times. The situation cannot be stabilized with all the wealth of the world, with all of the guns of the world. Revolutions are in the making.

By inviting Soviet Union to sign with them the convention establishing a new regime for the straits that separate Asia from Europe the Allies have taken one more step in the halting progress toward recognition which began with the trade agreements and continued at Genoa and Lausanne. Virtually every European government now maintains some sort of an official commission in Moscow, and their citizens have consular protection in doing business in Soviet Union. In Asia Soviet Union is even more' firmly established. The U.S. lags behind, most besotted of all the great nations.
