WHO IS GOING TO KEEP RUSSIA
!MPoTENT?


Dodge Them Now, is timely
warning that the Allies should de.
eide now on the fate of Turkey and
the Dardanelles. For that matter
they should decide on the fate OF
many other small and larger ma
tions and the entire Europe. AS
far as it., is known, not even the
Dumbarton Oaks conference is TAX
ing any heed in that direction. The
way the. Reds are occupying one
nation after another, it seems soon
it will be too late" to say anything
to the bosses Of the Kremlin so far
as the enslaved nations are con-
cerned.
"No territorial aggrandizement"
as proclaimed in the Atlantic Char
ter, seems to be turning into a
joke. But the joke is on some one
who is not careful enough in time,
as the aggrandizement is in full
swing and too much one-sided.
"The Russians still want the Oar
danelles", you say in one Of your
editorial paragraphs. What Russia
does not want, will some one an
swer that? Russia wants Finland
Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, East
| Prussia, Poland, Hungary, Czecho-
slovakia, Romania. Greece, Bulga-
ria, Yugoslavia, the Dardanelles,
and China. A territorial aggrandi-
cement extraordinary!
Please let me tell you some more:
In June, 1910, while Stain and
Hitler were partners in crime,
when the Red armies surged into
Lithuaniar and occupied it, and the
American citizens at that time in
Kaunas were anxious to obtain their
passports to return to the good old
L. S. A., the Soviet commissars OBJ
serving all this, sarcastically re-
marked: "What is your hurry, COM
rades? In a years time we will be
in America, tool" with Hitler's
blessing, at that time y Yes, the
Russians want America, too, but
just now they have to suppress
deep in their hearts their plots fo,
revolution here. But Stalin's
greed forJeconnuests is giving him
as good a results elsewhere-thi<
time, mind you, with the blessing
of Uncle Sam and John Bull!
The aggressor nations, Germany
and Japan, as much as they were
set or conquests, will be defeated
and will not gain an inch of other
territories; they are bound to lose
some of their own territories (as
Italy did. 1t will be easy to keep
them impotent if we make up our
minds on sthat, because they will
be beaten after this war.
But who is going to keep Russia
impotent-the potent danger of the
peace of the world tomorrow
Russia, as we plainly see, in spite
| Ol VIC plOSAdlilutioi VI aIiiS <ASANAi
tic Charter, denouncing call terrific,
rial aggrandizement", has gained
most. Russia is the only power
that has conquered, with the aid OF
Americas arms and food ant sup
plies, other peoples territories and
subjugated many nations, and is
still on a rampage for more con-
| quests. Is this war for the sole
purpose of aggrandizement of So
Wet Union. to make other peoples
slaves of Russia?
One certain fact stands. out: AS
the matters now drift, there will be
no nations victims Of aggression
other than those victimized and en-
slaved by the Soviet Union after
this war
Was this the aim of our entry
into the Second World War. and
why is Russia receiving all the fa'
vors of America and Great Britain,
at the sacrifice of millions Of our
young men--manv of whom are
the members Of the nations falling
