IN CAMP"

Americans, especially those VINO SNOW all HoIuIndIe
fondness for the Soviet government and are inclined to
belittle any charges that communism is an active menace
in the United States, ought to be interested III the address
made in Moscow to the Al-Union communist party the
other evening by Joseph Stain, the pig dictator OIL tWe
Russian governing party.
NJ. Stain took the usual Soviet position that some of
the capitalist nations of the world were about to attack
Soviet Russia and he said: HWe warn everybody not to
poke their shouts into the Soviet potato patch, thereby
by implication attaching the term ''swine'' to those ma
tions which have designs on Soviet Russia. Continu-
ing, he said:
ut is a mistake to think ambition to wage war against
the Soviet Union and share its territory IS held only by
Japanese military circles. We know very well it is shared
bv some political circles in Europe. But if this happens 1T
will be the most dangerous war for mankind III history,
not only because the population of the Soviet Union Will
fight to death to defend the country, but because the war
will also take place behind the lines of our enemies,
where our numerous friends would deal a mortal blow to
those daring to take arms against the Soviet Union.
''These latter will be responsible if they bring about a
revolution in a number of countries In Europe and ASIA
and complete the destruction OF the landowner govern
ments.''
In view of the fact that Soviet Russia has agreed, when
ever il has been recognized by another nation, to cease
and abstain from subversive propaganda In that country,
Nj. Stalin's threat of what would happen If any nation
went to war with Russia is very significant indeed. Ii
uprisings are to take place behind the lines in these ZEN
envy countries 1t will only be because the seed OF treason
has been industriously and efficiently sown by the agents
Of the rulers of Moscow. Things like that do not happen
spontaneously. In every case of revolution which seems
to break forth suddenly, 1T can De IOunu upon STUDY VI
the situation that the ground has been carefully cultlvat-
cd for the uprising In advance.
M. Stains reference to 'our numerous friends" who
aid be behind the lines in every country opposing Rus
STA in case of trouble, is interesting, too. While the Unit
ed States has no idea or intention of waging war on Rus
sa it would be interesting to know just who are the "nu-
merous friends of the Soviet cause in America, friends
who would stab the nation in the back in the unexpected
event that we were to have trouble with Russia. But still
more important is the fact that some of these numerous
friends and their agents will not wait for a general war
to get in their work. They will be busy cutting away at
every opportunity.
The warning issued by the Russian dictator was prob
ably inspired at this time by the unexpected friendly
agreement of non-aggression entered into a few days ago
by Poland and Germany. The communists have always
depended on having Poland on their side in case Of trou-
BILE between the reds of Russia and the Nazis of Germany.
But the new Polish-GeTman pact is said to have caused
some m%isgivings at Moscow.
In spite of our recognition of Soviet Russia the United
States will very properly remain out of any trouble which
may arise in the Old World, involving Japan, Russia or
any other nation. We have plenty of business at home
that requires our immediate attention.
