Moscow, Oct. 1l-UP)-Soviet
Russia, far from retreating before

war today with q scathing attack
on Italy. Germany and Portugal.
The newspaper Pravda. official
organ of the Communist Central
Committee, in a fiery editorial
compared the diplomatic repre-

nailed the interventionists to the

neighbors even better"
He expressed pleasure at being
back in Wyoming and referred to

brigadier general, in hotel room in

He enlarged the 'lunatic fringe"
charge which he first flung at the
followers of Father Coughlin and Sen
stor Huey P. Long in an address here
March 4, 1885, to cover all divisions
of an entente announced Tuesday In
Chicago by the late Senator's political
heir, Rev. Gerald L. K. Smith.
In a mood different from that which
marked his attack on Father Coughlin
and Senator Long as pied pipers"
threatening to lead the United States
into dictatorship or chaos" johnson
said he felt that "the Republican
adoption Of a counterfeit New Deal
platform at Cleveland indicated the
electorate is sanely liberal"
This. he asserted, indicated there is
''no danger of its going either to a
lunatic fringe of extreme radicalism
or extreme reaction"
Had Senator Long lived, johnson
declared. a third party movement
might have succeeded in defeating
President Roosevelt.
The general said his fear always
was that the liberal element he
(Roosevelt) represented might be af-
fected by a third party split which
could have had no other result but
the election of a reactionary."
He continued: But the Cleveland
demonstration of the Republican,

do by adopting practically Roosevelt
