During my Army career I had fifteen ynars (experience in the study of theRussian language rd Russia beginning from my Preparatory Military Aoademy days,and later, due to my eXperiences in Asia during and after the end of the war, IIacquired considerable knowledge of China.

This sort of action doean t t nonceal anything, beormae desired intel-ligence could easily be gotten k other means, and serves only to *create ill feelingsoror.g Japanese Diet members. Similarly, whenever people of high stature in Japan,such se Diet ma.-bore like myself, go to places like Perching Heights (site at FEC.Heac.quarters) we are constantly offended by the haughty and overbearing attitude of •the Japanece guar(/' drearied in their resplendent blue 'mamma and -white trim; Itmakes us wonder whether Japan io really an imlependent country or is still =ler.oaaupation controls.

In Daku I triod to inveatigote the extent of the 0j. realities there but woon'table to find out all I wanted to know. I was shown the new oil fields recentlydiscovered beneath the Jaapian Sea. The oil is 5,000 meters below the level of theSea. I was told that 28>.; of the oil production of the Baku area comes /roe this newfield. I was also told that the Caspian Sea field now has over 300 wells producingfrom 15 to 20 tone each per day. From this you can see thct the Caspisn Dee fieldsproduce between five and six thousand tons of oil per day. If the Caspian fieldsproduce 28. of the Baku oil, total prodnotion in the Baku area can be eatimoted.They intend to raise the Caspian .ies field production to 30;; of total Baku productionnext year, and to 50?, the year after. There also appears to be development of newoil fields in the Altai Uonge. I snitched a sample of the catalyst (shake/mi.) usedin their refinery and had it analysed kra friend in Japan who said thet it is tenyears old oompared with US standrrds. (I hope this incident will not be rote/liedbecause of its effect on the fuith the Soviets will have toward the Japanese.)

, In the Baku area I noticed a large number of T-34 tanks and anti-aircraft guns.f:isked-the Governor of the Province, around whose house I noticed a liinge nnmber ofweapon! if this was •r evidence of the new "Peace" Army, Ididoh made him angry andleft bin without a reply.

- 4e next went to Georgia which is, of course, the birthplace of both Stalin andBeide. In this border area there are large numbers of soldiers.- isew anti-aireneftemplacements, tonics and jet aircraft in large nuXbers. One interesting thinS'I

The presence of a large number of troops here suggeats the poeeibility that:AUeSieiserbe Considering this as Us next vantage point from which to launch aggreasiva.werfare.-- The things I observed there were not for defensive purposes; they were-"Aefiniteli for an offensive movenent, possibly toward Iran :end Iron.
