 RUSSIA HAS RECOVERED 1 EVERTHING SHE LOST
 Today Russia has recovered every thing of value that she lost. She has added Bessarabia and Buko- vina, Prince Rupert Land to the North Pole and beyond. She has se- cured control over vast spheres in North China, Tannutuva, Outer Mongolia and Sinkianw, and a great deal of influence in Iran and Afghanistan. Her interest in the Dardanelles has revived.
 No longer prostrate at the feet of her German conquerors, Russia has become 8 sleeping partner in Nazi crime, and like most sleeping partners has managed to get her full share of loot, without any ef- fort worth mention, without even fighting except in Poland.
 After the last war, stunned by defeat, Russia at first adopted 8 policy of complete diplomatic iso- lation. The Soviet leaders, insecure at home, lived in constant fear of foreign intervention and looked upon England as its inspirer and upon France and Poland as it's &C., tive instruments.
 Indeed, in 1920 the Poles under Pilsudski and General Weygand took the West Ukraine and West White Russia from the Soviets.
 But in 1921, the Genoa conference was quaked to pieces by the unex- pected news that a Treaty of Friendship and Commerce had been signed at Rapallo between Germany and the Soviets. It was the work of Rathenau and Chicherin, the result of Frances refusal to cooperate in any way with the Bolsheviks. For eleven years German-Russian CO., operation continued and Germany

Stalin knows just how Hitler victorious would treat Russia, and his aim is, while staying of all pos sibility of eventual attack by Germany, to prolong the war rn- til such time as the down-trodden and starving nations of Europe are ready for world revolution. Then the "New Order" in Europe would not be Hitler's National Socialism, but Stalin,s orthodox socialism with exclusive state ownership in industry and state collectivization of agriculture"
 One cannot get a bird's-eye view of such shifting scene as Soviet diplomacy, but here is a motion pie ture of it:
 By the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk in March, 1918, Russia lost 34 per cent of her population, 54 per cent of her industry, 90 per cent of her coal mines. She was cut of from the Black Sea. She had to sur- render Russian Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Esthonia, the islands of the Baltic. She had to recognize the in- dependence of the Ukraine, where Germany had set up puppet state,

 But when Hitler came to power in 1883 with the backing of the great German financial and indus trial interests, his first act was to set fire to the Reichstag and accuse the Communists of having done So He then proclaimed that he had saved Germany from Bolshevism, which he denounced.

New England country villages are an experience in themselves. They are of one kind in the southern part - Connecticut, Rhode Island and southern Massachusetts; of an- other kind farther up, in Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine. Each has its hite-spired church; many of them have village greens; most of them conceal 8 quietly ddstin- guished hotel and restaurant.
 The lakes of New England have 6 special charm. Some of them are so large that steamships ply their waters. Sped-boatS and cruising launches take you across their broad waters. Speed-boatS and cruising coyes. Small sailing craft loaf about. Modest camps are dotted along the shore and bathers sport about the diving floats and sandy beaches.
 You can enjoy yourself for as long as you care to by merely travelling leiSurely about and looking. Both landscapes and recreational activ. ities are full of interest. On play as-you-go" policy, there is a whole catalogue of sports to indulge in. Golf reaches its peak in New Eng land. All kinds of courses, kept at their best by the moderate climate, and set in varied countryside attract the player. Hundreds of paths and trails branch out from main high ways and lead to hidden cascades, high lookouts, and primeval woods.
 New England Is handsomely equipped in the matter of trans portation. Motor roads lead into the region at many points and open up the whole varied area. Railroads branch off from the New England trunk lines and take the visitor to beach, mountain or lake. Coastwise steamship lines, linking major cities, are an especially pleasant means of introduction to New England. There Is network of bus lines and the air lines provide fast and frequent schedules.
 The six states are so compact that comparatively short distances bracket big cities and open coun- try. You can 30 from fishing vil- lage to g mountain peak in another state in only 8 60-mile drive, yet to cover the long way of New Eng land will take you two days.

antl-NaEism, and wns 60 acclaimed by many weIl-meaning heologists the world over. The Union of So- cialist Soviet Republics was admit ted to the League of Nations in 1884. Both France and Csechosi0vakia made alliances with Russia, and when Japan joined Hltler's antl- Komintern pact in 1o36, the Soviets gave active support to China.
 sTALIN FOREsAw
 INEVITABLE WAR
 But Stalin had long seen that war was inevitable. The construc- ton of the Siegfried Line which made it impossible. for the Western Powers to go to the assistance of Czechoslovalkia or Poland, rendered Russia.s position precarious indeed. Stalin saw that if ever Prague and Warsaw fell to Hitler, 1t would be Russia's turn next and the Nazis would take the rich granary of the Urkaine, the ideal lebensaraun promised by the Fuehrer to the Ger mans.
 Stark, naked realism is and al- ways has been Stalinss strong suit. He knew just how strong Germany was, for when reports reached him in May, 1899, that Hitler had 4,000 heavy tanks, 5000 motorcycles armed with machine guns and 18,000 planes, he did not pooh-pooh the idea as did the French General Staff. He made 1t his business to find out. He also knew just how weak France was, and how IInpre. pared England. So he dismissed Litvfno6 and took MolotoR as for- eign minister.
 Stalin negotiated with both Ger many and the Allies. Hitler sent diplomats, financiers and business men to Moscow; the Allies sent a military mission with plans. Stalin played one of against the other and, having made a bargain with the envoys of Hitler, whom he hates and distrusts, entered into the non-aggression pact with Germany on August g, 1889. What did he get out of 1t?
 After the conquest of Poland by Germany, Russia's share was i've eighths of the territory and more than half the population. Since then she has occupied the Baltic states and incorporated Esthonia, Latvia and Lithuania into the So- viet Union. A year ago an ulti- maturn to Rumania caused the ceS- sion to Russia of Bessarabia and Bukovina.
 STALIN MUST
 MAKE DECISION
 Stalin's relations with Hitler have not always been quite to the latter'a liking, and more than once there have been not inconsiderable move- ments of troops on both sides of the Russo German frontier. This was the case when Russia showed diSap. proval of the German thrust in the Balkans and chided the states that adhered to the tri-partite pact. But now a more seriuos cloud has cast its shadow over the Near East, one that will test Stalin's diplomacy aS never before.
 Hitler is chained to the wheels of conquest. He canont stop, he must go on. In the Eastern Mediter- ranean, this means that if Syria and Palestine, and the oil of Iraq and Iran are to be his, he must con- trol the Dardanelles. That is why he Is concentrating Q formidable army on the Russian frontiers in Rumania and in Poland. Stalin must now decide whether he will al- low the Dardanelles to fall into Hit ler's hands and once more take his share of the loot-the oil of the Near and Middle East.
