If these pigs had been held un-

would have eaten about IS million

a Shallow Alliance

his alliance with Stain and invaded Russia
did Britain and Russia find themselves sud
denly and Unexpectedly and most fortunately
allied against Germany
Naturally, Britain accepted the new stua-
ton with alacrty- the plight of Britain
al the time was desperate
But Prime Minister Churchill said at that
time. nothing he had previously said about
Russia was unsaid-and he had said plenty.
So this strange alliance, While it is destroy
ing Hitler and has helped to prevent the
destruction of Britain and Russia, is not
erected on the solid rock of permanent interest
but on the shifting sands Of convenience and
opportunlsm
The sensational and significant charge
leveled against Britain by Russia, in connec-
nocton with the separate peace rumor, is not
the emily evidence of teRuous and deteriorat-
ing relations between the two Allies
Almost simultaneously it is disclosed in
London that the British war office has re-
affirmed its previous and continuing refusal
10 accredit any correspondent Of the Daily
Worker British Communist newspaper, to
the British armed forces.
War Secretary Sir James Gugg said in
explanation that accredited correspondents
had access to important military information
and in recent times some of its the Com
munst Party members or adhorents have
shown they are ready 10 subordinate the
security Of the state to the purposes of the
organization"
The most that can he said for the Russo
British alliance Is that 1t has held the ancient
conflict between the two nations IN allegiance
Russia still covets the Dardanees.
Russias territorial ambitions still extend
through Persia ia he Arabian Sea.
II is not the embarrassment of Britain in
this situation but The revelation Of the shallow
and transient nature of her alliance with
Russia which is significant.
If America stands by in some wonderment
and great bewiIderment as these facts unfold
1t Is only because We have turned our backs
and our minds upon facts something neither
Britain nor Russia has ever done

THE official and vigorous British denial of
charges published in the Russian news

overtures 70 Germany for a separate peace
is detour around the main subject.
1t is the fact that Russia MAKES the
charge that is important
Russia very obviously DlSTRUSTS Great
BI4taif4r-
Quite possibly the Russian government
MANUFACTURED the rumored separate
peace negotiation.
Most certainly the report did not come
from Cairo, as the Russians pretend, because
the British censorship is alright in Cairo.
If the report came from Cairo II was clan
destine IN It's origin, and was unreliable and
perhaps implanted by the enemy as the Brit
ish suggest.
But If it was manufactured in Moscow, II
was done for a reason
Either because the Russians had definite
evidence of the truth of the charge, or be-
cause the Russians had the definite desire
and deliberate purpose TO EMBARRASS the
British government.
Why should Russia desire TO embarrass
Great Britain, her Ally?
The immediate reason may be obscure.
But the UNDERLYING reason is perfectly
clear
Russia and Great Britain are not Allies
in this war by virtue of any deep affection,
but by pure accident.

Russia was in ALLIANCE with Britains
