NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Our PreSj.

aches enough to start the seams
of the Capitol dome, so that which
1 am about to say is tossed into
the discussion with no fippant or
nagging intent but only to recap.
ture a page which apparently blew
off the rack during both of his
recent orations on dictators-th e
dirty dogs-and what they can't do
to us.
In neither of these state papers
did I detect any reference to josef
Stain, whose sanction, it may be
remembered, was the g~o-ahead
which started the present -world
war and who has been just as gull
lty as Adolf Hitler, though in a less
Spectacular and perhaps smarter
way, in the matter of consuming
little nations which were mindlng
their own business and hoping no.
body would notice them.
Discussion Not Needed
That Stain is a dictator who de-
lnies religious, intellectual and pc.
litical freedom to his subjects is a
proposition that doesn't even re-
quire discussion, and certainly it
would not take five minutes to pro-
duce, out of the newspaper files
of the time, proof that Hitler start
ed this war only after he had re-
ceived Stalin's okay in the form OF
an economic and military conspira-
cy against the free people of the
world. From the fact that Hitler
didn't make his move until he and
Stain got together we may con-
clude that Stain knew and intend
ed that his treaty with Der Fuehrer
would start the Germans rolling
into Poland in that terrible hour
which all the world so long hal
lived in fear Of.
Soon thereafter Stalin's faceiess
men showed into Poland to a line
which had been agreed on with
Hitler, and when their armies met
Poland was no more and God only
knows what happened to the I'M
fortunate human beings who had
fled from Hitler's killers into the
country where they found them
selves trapped by the robots of
the Red Car. Stain, by agree
ment with Hitler, spread cut over
the Baltic country and, in a move
which all but the few communists
among us regarded as a terribly
wicked aggression against a small,
clean, virtuous nation, all but killed
Finland. 1t probably will be finish
ed off this year in another of those
ponderous but irresistible strokes
of a gaint whose B. o. alone is
likely to strangle any civilized op.
onent.
No Cost
Ever since the war began by
Stalin's permission Hitler's acqui-
sitions of slaves and living room
achieved at the cost of military
effort and skill have been accom-
panied by roughly corresponding
gains of slaves and land for Josef
Stain at practically no cost to
him, except in the case of Fin
land. Morally there is no differ.
ence between Hitler and Stain,
and in their attitude toward the
United States they have been about
alike, too, having both maintained
conspiracies here against our
peace and safety, financed and d.
rected from their respective CAPT
tails while they were making a pre-
tense of diplomatic friendship. If
there is any difference at all it is
in favor of Hitler and against Sta
lin, because we had had trouble
with the Muscovites before and,
as a condition of the resumption
of diplomatic relations in 1883,
made them promise, in so many
words, to leave off revolutioncer'
ing in midst.
Having given that promise, Sta
lin went right ahead with his in
terral anti-American consplracieS
under Earl Browder and similar
traitors, and this activity continues
today in the newspaper gulid, the
longshore, maritime, transport and
telegraph unions of the C. l. 0.

l am, in spite of my wish t. get

of this omission of all mention Of
Stain and Russia among the enc

the very beginning. have seemed
to think that Stalinism or Muscov'
