RUSSIA PLANS
WORLD EMPIRE
Y. M. G. A. Forum Speaker
Outlines Hopes Of Soviet
Government

Russia,s dream Of empire is far
greater than the ordinary individual
might conceive according to DR..
Leonard Ludwin, world traveller, who
was guest speaker at the Waterbury
Community Forum held last evening
at the Tudor room Of the Water
bury Women's Club.
The speaker said that Russia
hopes to control all Of Asia, in
Guiding India, and also to dominate
China. At present Russia is formu-
1ating plans for q Maginot Line to
hold it's present boundaries and Eu-
rope and eventually they would ex-
tend 1t across to Asia and to the
Pacific Ocean.
China In fighting Japan is also
aiding the Russian cause because
Russia believes tht Japan cannot
win and when through with China
she would be an easy prey for the
Russian forces.
DR.. Ludwin predicted that every
nation in Euorpe would be engaged
in war by spring. He also stated
that the rich and sizealble oil fields
Just over the Turkish border would
be the cause for the outbreak Of
another war between Turkey and
Russia, but he would not predict
which group would make the first
move.
Following Or. Dudwin's address a
question period was conducted by
