World Affairs

The latest German move, the
marching on the Russians did
not come as surprise. Those
who remembered the Japanese
visit to Moscow also remember
thinking it had something sly
behind it. They also remember
telling each other that either
Nazism and Communism were
much alike or had Joe Stain had
better look out after the treaty
Hitler made with him at the
start of the present war.
Few military men consider
Russia much more than a setup
for Hitler to push over. Stain
who trusted Hitler has been
served just like everybody else
who put anystock in what the
German said.
The Japanese are pretending
surprise-or the real Mccoy
at the German Russian affair.
They are of course delighted to
see the Russians in trouble now.
But the move bodies them no
good. While Japan possesses but
little to interest Hitter, in event
Russia falls Hitter will within a
few months kick Japan out of
both China and Manchuria as
surely as the sun will rise to-
morrow. The Japs will say it
can not happen here, we got a
treaty with Hitter. Stain had
one too did not he? And if the
little men of the land of the
Rising Sun delude themselves
into the belief that their treaty
is the exception and that they
can count on it, as apparently
are, before long they will find
that Hitler has pushed them in
to the sea and that japanese
may sit only on Japan and do
vast dreaming of imaginary and
impossible expansion. With the
unconquerable Germans boss
of Russia and China and Uncle
Sam on the east japanese ex-
pansion will be dream.
England has not, been beaten
yet. John Bull has failed to win
even a minor battle from the
Huns so FAR. But with Hitler
voluntarily taking on the mil
lions of Russians he is bound to
have some luck now.
There is the off chance that
the dirty and traitorus Commur
list rats have learned to fight 4
little the past decade and may
offer dangerous resistance tC

No Communist has yet made a

The war has introduced a lot of

only soccer and racing cling to
