Says Russia Not Likely To
Begin War Before Winter
Soviets Will Harvest All
Grain and Wait for Riv
ers to Freeze.
By ROGER BABSON
New York City, June 18.—Dur
ing the past few days I have talked
with some .important people here
regarding the possibility of World
War III—and when it may or may
not be expected.
No War This Summer in Europe
My financial friends insist we
have nothing to fear during this
summer or early
fall. The chief as
sets of Russia and
her satellite na
tion s of Ru
mania, Czechoslo
vakia, Poland, etc.,
are their crops, es
pecially their
wheat. Hence,
Russia will not
start World War
III until these
crops are gathered, transported,
distributed and safely stored.
My military friends go further
and explain that Russia will not
start World War III until the riv
ers of eastern Europe freeze over
so her supply lines cannot be cut
by our airplanes bombing bridges.
You will remember that the Chin
ese invasion of Korea did not oc
cur until the Yalu River froze
over; but that now the invasion
has pretty much stopped. Broken
supply lines are apparently lick
ing the Chinese.
Coming Winter Critical
The ?bove means that we have
nothing to fear from Russia before
winter comes. This coming winter,'
however, will be a very critical
time, especially as the Russians
are more accustomed to living,
moving and fighting in winter
than are the U. S.- forces or the
Europeans. It is also said that
atomic bomb operations can be
more effective in winter weather.
Russia may start World War III
this winter.
The Russians further realize that
the United States and the Allies
are now arming at a more rapid
rate than thfe Russians can possibly
meet. Russian can raise more men
remainder of this year, I look for a
lag this summer during the “tool
ing up” period when industry is
switching from peace to war work.
This may be accompanied by some
unemployment. By fall, however,
business should again be good. This
uplift should continue throughout
the winter whatever Russia decides
to do. All skilled workers will be

in great demand, even at higher
wages.
Presidential Election Next Year
Added to the above comments,
do not forget that another national
election comes next year. If Mr.
Truman can go to the voters under
the slogan, “I kept you out of war,”
he may have a fair chance of re-
election. Therefore, the entire ad
ministration will try to delay [
World War III until after 1952,1
which may result in pushing it in
definitely away. Do not sell Mr.
Truman “short" yet—especially if
the fighting in Korea stops. This
dbes not change the importance of
the prediction that this coming
winter , will be a very critical pe
riod.
But, personally, I go further and
say “anything can happen during
the years ahead, from a devastat
ing War III to World Peace and a
‘Golden Age’.”. This means that
the most important program is to
so plan our family’s education,
business and investments that we
will be able to get on “some way
whatever happens.” This is a goal
very important to pray and work
for this month of June as our
young people are now graduating
from schools and colleges.

Babson are published in this paper

THE CHURCH UNDER
PERSECUTION
Lesson for June 24: I Peter 5:
6-11; Revelations 1: 9-lla: 7: 9-10.
13-14
Memory Selection: Revelations
2: 10
Peter, writing to strengthen suf
fering Christians in time of perse
cution, bade them to cast all their
anxiety upon the Lord because he
cared for them and to stand strong
in their faith as believing that the
God of grace would sustain them.
John lived to a great age, seem
ingly serving as pastor of the
church at Ephesus. At last he was
persecuted by a Roman emperor
and banished to the isle of Patmos
in the Aegean Sea. There he had
a wonderful vision of the New
Jerusalem and all the glories of the
redeemed. And he recorded what
he saw and heard in the Book of
Revelation.
The telling of the things John
saw in his vision were adopted to
strengthen and encourage suffer
ing Christians. They were helped
to bear their ills because they were
to enter into such transcendant
glories in the great hereafter. So
may we be encouraged in the midst
of difficulties and trials as we think
of the blessed place where the re
deemed shall be secure and happy.
One of the elders that John saw
in his vision told him that the
great multitude were those who
had come out of tribulation and
had washed their robes and made
them white in the blood of the
Lamb. And wc are assured that
the “toils of the road will seem
nothing when we get to the end
of the way.”
