The governments of Great Britain
and the United States played an i'm
portant part in the creation of Hit
Ter. An important part of their mo-
tive was certainly the possibility
that Hitler could be persuaded to
attack and destroy the Soviet Union
to accomplish a destruction in
which the British and American
governments had failed when their
eXpeditionary forces were beaten by
the Russians at the end of the last
war.
All right-so now Hitler has out
grown his boots and threatens the
very governments that created him.
The Soviet government now believes
in the sincerity of purpose OF the
British and Americans in their war
on Hitler But it thinks that if it
could read the British and Ameri-
can political mind it would find that
while we wished the defeat of Hitler
we wished it only after the Soviet
had been destroyed.

1t needs friends and it needs help
and as have just said, it does not
believe it possible to defeat Hitler
without outside assistance. But it
cannot get over prejudices acquired
