Russia Pacific s New Power

The National Broadcasting Company at its affiliated stations present the Pacific story. This is the story of the Pacific. The drama of the millions of people who live around this greatest sea by the United States is now committed to a long-term policy of keeping the peace.

This as another public service of the National Broadcasting Company is the background story of the events in the Pacific and their meaning to us and to the generations to come. Russia, the new power in the Pacific.

Russia has at last reached the sea. Today, Russians stand on the Kourile Islands, on all of the island of Takhaleen, and in the ports of Diron and Fort Arthur.

That means that things are going to be different in the Pacific so far as Russia is concerned. It means that Russia, our nearest overseas neighbour, has one control of the shores of Asia, from the Bering Strait to the islands of Japan, and then some.

We will fortify the Coriel Islands. We will make them a screen of steel. Russia has planned. And forward, the Coriel Islands will stand guard against future Japanese aggression and will assure freedom of the Pacific Ocean for the Soviet motherland.

The Soviet has at last broken out of its isolation. As the Americans stroll westward to reach the Pacific, the Russians stroll eastward. that it took the Americans more than a century. So also it took the Russians.

It must be remembered. Russia is nearly three times as large as the United States. The greatest landmass on Earth. It is 40 times the size of France. It is one-six the land surface of the Earth.

One-six the land surface of the Earth. But until now our country was landlocked. We have many rivers, four of the longest in the world. But none gives us an outlet to the Great Ocean. Devoga flows into the Castian Sea.
