jectively.
Until Hitler made the error of at
lacking the least aggressive of tn
big nations, the Soviet Union, it wal
debatable as to whether we SHOULD
join England. Great Britain alon,
could not hold out indefinitely agains
Germany. Also the plain people O
this earth had very little choice be
tween Hitler's kind of rule and the
rule of the Tory Chamberlains of Eng
land. These had sold out humanity
for a mess of potage at Munich
But Immediately at the invasion Of
Russia, two impelling reasons arose
for our helping. The first is thai
when Churchill in his world wide
hook-up announced an alliance for all
purposes of England and Russia il
proved a change Of the government in
England toward socialism, that there
would be recognition of Russia's mir
aculous strides forward in modern
civilization: that the ideals of the
Constitution of Russia were not much
different from the basic laws of Aus.
tralia Canada or our own.
The second good reason for now
joining Russia and England is that
the probabilities are that If we do
aid Russia with airplanes and tanks
we will win: and the war will not be
prolonged.
Newspapers and the opinions of self
appointed war experts are no sounder
than the common sense of an in
formed reader. Many of our news
papers are owned by Americans who
are stockholders in German corpora
terlaced. For instance, before this
war started the monthly magazine
Fortune" said that the Amsterdam
bankers owned control of the Ana
conda company. The Chicago Tri-
bune, of immense circulation, is pro-
German, not merely isolationist When
we see editorials headed Butcher
Stain" the paper is "Copperhead."
Strange to say, Stain, before April
Is, 1941, was never higher than an
alderman of the city of Moscow The
publicized treason trials resulted in
death sentences for "a and imprison-
ment of $50 persons. These trials
saved Russia from the fate of France.
The French Revolution from which
many modern liberties come caused
fhn al <f+ 4
sand of French nobility and their adj
herents.
Seven years ago when Stains wife
died, the funeral was conducted by
the prelates of the Orthodox Church
of Russia. This body has joined,
heart and soul, in war against Ger
many. On Sunday, for Is years in
Moscow, just as in New York, the
church bells ring. Everybody so in
clined goes to church. Everybody so
inclined goes fishing. The constitu-
ton of Russia is the same as our own
with two additions: One, that a man
can have no religion at all if he
wishes. (Without legal permission
many of us follow this plan) The
second addition to our constitution
S that under the Russian, it is the
luty of the rulers to provide a job |
1t fair wages for everyone willing to |
work.
Neither Wheeler nor Lindbergh |
,ould make much money making radio
peeches for the capitalists programs
n Russia.
For a newspaper to proclaim that |
russia has been communistic in the
asst IL years shows as much ignor-
nee as if it announced that this ma
ion was still guided by the ideas of
Ioover 1t is a highly socialized coun-
ry, almost as highly SO as Sweden
ow or as Norway and Denmark were
efore German conquest
In Russia in 1920 less than 10 per-
