The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1941-08-20


In an Associated Press story proposed meeting in
Moscow Saln his chief and high British and
American officials we read this significant paragraph
The position of u S. S. R in the postwar world is
to be discussed according the reports with hopes Of some
spheres of influence and the future political de
ology of western Europe
would be interesting to listen in this historic con-
clave, and it is interesting to speculate upon it.
Will the American British officials believe that they
have Stain cover barrel and try to dictate changes IN the
Russian social to be made assistance TO be given
him against the barbarian aggression OF Hitler? Are they
going join that degree with Hitler in his holy war
against communism Or they going to insist only that
Russians within their borders and dess from any
spread the socasc theology which they have been
developing into actually working systenot perfect per-
haps working nevertheless to the benefit of all OF the peo
pie and their country?
Stain has been called "The Moscow Sphinx" when not
called by the columns of and it may
be that the of America and Britain find that
M at oentIer descriptive title It may well be that
he knows advance about what the bargaining proposition
will undoubtedly be presented him is to be- and Will
planned the limits to which he will 60 in accepting or
rejecting
1t significant, however to note that apparently both
countries are willing approach him and bargain with him
That of implies confidence in his integrity and that
of his governmental administration to abide by agreements
made justified because in his dealings with other
nations he not of record as ever having Woateo an agree
His record indicates that his first is the we'll
being of his country Unlike Trosky he is not world rev.
ouionist and his break with Trosy was over that pohc
He was realistic and knew that his first job and most
important one develop the of his country
of the people realize that they had stake IN
their homeland And judging by results evident now to the
world he has achieved that objective
IT is quite probable that the American and British rep
resenative at conference do not insist on any
thing else than promise from Stain that he will not insist
on the specialization western Europe Stain will quite
readily He knows better than else who will be at
that conference table, struggle to socaze country
means the overcoming of the bndy instructive struggle OF
the human against change though reason would
indicate clearly of social and economic conditions
of the people through such change And ne also
knows that will be real job to rebuild his own
country after the struggle and while the Rus
sian people have foundations which to build
an intelligent understanding educated and loyal people and
ample natural resources the struggle will not be easy
replace the industries destroyed the lana o waste
homes families, wiped away
To those whose minds obsessed by ignorant pref
udce induced by reading distorted propaganda against Rus
over of years. there must be satisfaction IN
knowing that the to cash Tor the
supplies furnished by this country Why should they
not? writer's most rabdy afraid OF the RUSSIAN
theology at all informed admit that Russia has developed
gold production tremendously during the past ten years And
# NAV be assumed Russians will be than glad to
exchange lot this metato them or less useless
for goods and materials of which they need So We
our great wisdom with superior economic under
standing will take this gold and bury in Kentucky and give
them disable goods in return
No it may quite safely be assumed that Stain will not
object to any limitation of the spread of the Russian economic
system Our own capalstc system and that of Western
Europe will take care of that it finally coapses
