- their generals and other officers
y Il has no confidence in them it.
.eH. That Mr.. Stain has no such
confidence, he has dramatically
. rroved by liquidating one army
leader after another and other gen.
erals by platoons. 1t is reported
that 10000 subordinate officers have
heen executed or dismissed. All i'm:
nortant commands are accompanied
By political commissars.
You can't operate an army on
u,ch a plan. Comrades can't be

Not Enough Equipment.
Considering everything, Joe Sta
Inns military outlook is not so hot.
Nevertheless, we should not fool our
,elves about the gallant and master
All defense of Finland. AS more
facts become available, it appears
10 have been, on the part Of Mar
shall Mannerheim, as brilliant a
campaign as there is on record.
But, in the very nature Of things
military, that kind of thing can't 60
on forever.
Lee and jackson made monkeys
out Of the Union generals for three
years, but, except for the possibility
Of outside Intervention, the end was
certain. Overwhelming numbers and
weight Of metal are very likely to
decide the issue in any long pull.
Anything Might Happen.
Furthermore, brilliant as was the
! Finnish defense in this campaign,
the day-to-day news Of it was mis-
leading. It sounds as though the
Firms were completely destroying
Z new Russian division daily. They
did mop up one and handled others
roughly, but so much humiliation
simply isn't possible in that kind of
q war. Some of this exaggeration
was due to overlapping stories. but
It is safe bet that the good news
did not suffer any at Finnish hands.
Il it were not true that anything
might happen under the dictators.
you could say, on all the precedents,
that Russia will simply have to tune
up a real steam roller and crash
through any resistance that the
Firms can raise. But these gorillas
don't seem to know what is written
IN the book of rules. Comrade Sta
lin might settle with Finland for
some face-saving sop, or he might
Just dig in and sit. 1t would be no
more strange or unprecedented than
the sit-down war in the west.
