Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-05-18

Stain nevertheless decided T.,
deal with his worst enemy
Hitler.
England knew then what Hit
Ter stood for and so did Stain
YET STAIN MADE A PACT
WITH HITLER AND NOT
WITH GREAT BRITAIN,
FRANCE. POLAND AND THE
BALTIC STATES.
STALIN also agreed 10 the
~ invasion and partition Of
Poland while Engl and and
France. although thoroughly UNI
prepared, went 10 the defense Of
Poland.
The Hitler threats and con-
tempt of Stain before the Stain
Hitler alliance OF aPpeasemeHt
pact did not seem to annoy
Stain al all.
Yet the error Of the British at
Munich was an objectionable SIN.
ON the question OF the lnNa-
sion of Finland. the picture
states boldly that Russia was IN
need of the Finnish territory and
should have had II because II
was willing 10 give Finland some
other land IN return
Since when has any country a
right TO the territory and popu-
latlon of a neighboring nation.
II Ia
might need such territory?
THE- original Communist
Il PLANTATION was that Finland
attacked Russia and Stain
merely acted in self defense.
The author OF the movie also
seemed 10 have forgotten that
the SaCredncSS Of the TERRITORY
Of small nations was stressed al
the very beginning Of the picture
BY LITVINOF'F when he was
shown pleading for the veal;
countries and Their houndarie>
Al a meeting Of the League OF
Nations.
ON the RICH, Of the SoNIc
police 10 invade homes and en-
haSSicS tSimllar 20 the German
GeStapoD. the picture pointed ou'
that law-ablding people need not
fear the wire tapperS and secret
police; consequently the Gestapo
was wrong in Germany but per-
fcCtly proper in Soviet Russia
This statement with reference
70 the Soviet wire tapping and
the secret police IN Russia was
applauded by good many mem
berS OF the audience.
THE APPEARANCE Of Stain
Il in the picture was also
frequently applauded by the
audience.
The movie also spent con-
siderable time showing one Of
the famous Russian treason
trials
II presented some OF the finest
brains Of the Soviet. after i'm
prSonmcnt for considerable
time, freely admitting many
reasonable acts and thereby as
SurIng the death penalty for
each defendant Yet each de-
fcndant freely and cheerfully
confessed
Each defendant spoke 10 the
whole nation through a micro
phone.
The courtroom scene was
HOllyWood's best
What schemes. threats 70
members Of their families or
promises produced the most un-
belevable confessions in the
history Of legal procedure. was
not disclosed
II IS any sensible persons
guess.
THE movie Justly takes q shot
Il al our former iSolauonists.
The author. however. forgot
that prior TO June %. 1871, the
American Communist was. di-
rectly and indirectly. collaborat-
ing with the isolationists and
Nazis in the United States.
BroWder and Kuhn were
then doing the same Job.
In France and England the
Communists were guilty Of the
same diSloyaltieS between the
time Of the Stalin-IItler pact
and its reputation by Hitler.
OF course, from a militarl
standpoint. We are happy to
have Russia as our ally.
WHETHER we are more help
w ful TO them in the war than
they are TO us need not to be
decided now.
Every military addition 10 the
Allied strength will undoubtedly
shorten this terrible war; but il
is hardly necessary that we
should also love Stain his judi
cial and political system and his
international diplomacy; nor
are we obliged, because OF our
military alliance. TO encourage
the spreading of Communist
propaganda in our country TO
be gobbled up by gullible young
sters and amateur philosophers.
The Communists will have 10
pardon us IL we cannot place
jefferson and Stain on the
same pedestal and If we believe
that ALL DICTATORS ARE
MORE OR LESS ALIKE.
