N.P. (Los Angeles): n.p., 1948. Folded three times horizontally, as for mailing, otherwise fine.. Mimeographed broadside, printed on one side of a single legal-sized leaf, approx. 8-1/2 X 14 inches. Informational broadside of unspecified origin, likely intended for readers of "Peoples' World" or a similar Soviet-sympathetic publication. The document centers on a Q & A sequence addressing the situation in Berlin, which had been blockaded by the occupying Soviet forces in a direct challenge to the developing post-war order. The broadside offers explanations of some of the issues that led to the blockade. It appears to predate the commencement of the Berlin Airlift, with which allied forces answered the blockade. An early relic of one of the first major controversies of the Cold War.

In-depth, eleven part essay. Though unsigned, this was certainly the work of Maud Russell, British-born American activist who devoted much of her life to China and the far east. At this time, when the war in Korea was just underway, Russell was executive director of the Committee for a Democratic Far Eastern Policy. Far East Spotlight was a precursor to her later self-published magazine Far East Reporter, which she began in 1953 and continued for many years afterward.
