The Waterbury Democrat., 1944-10-28


 No. 1 on the list from the purely Russian viewpoint was the frank agreement with the British that the Soviet Union has every right to guarantee It's borders, make certain that 1t is never agains subjected to surprise at tack.
 stain was very blunt on this point. He emphasized to Churs chiu that the best guarantee of Q peaceful Russia was 0 group of friendly and strong Soviet neighbors on oil Russian bor- deEs. ,stalin also said that while he was willing to mako many con. cessions for the sake of peace, he was also prepared to be tough If the British attempted any fl. nagling.
 Despite these blunt remarks, however, best evidence Of the suc- cess Of the conference was the warm spirit in which stalln and Churchill concluded their talks.
 stalln was glowing In his tributes Co the United States and Great Britain, pointed out there were some areas Os disagree. ment, expressed confidence they would be sm00thed out.
 Churchill was equally Onthu- BlaStic.
 We want you to know that oil the world realizes it was the Red Army that clawed the guts out of tho filthy NRzi war ma. chine" said the British Prime minister.
 C0RDELL HULL REMEMBERED During the usual many-cuorsed ornate dinner In the Kremlin, thu Soviet Premier arose to tosat his guests.
 "Thls toast" he said, "Is to those who worked for peace at DumbaFtOn Oaks. Aggross0Fs are always prepared for their evil work. Peace-loving nations are never prepared for war, and this time England, America and Russia were caught unready by the NaEls.

 CHURCHILL ASKED
 FOR INVITATION
 It can be disclosed that Chur- chtll had no invitation to SO to Moscow. Tn fact, he asked Stalin if he could come, was then given Q formal bid. The last time Churchill was in Moscow was in i942, when he told staiin there would be. no second front.
 At that time they didn't get along at all well. Among other things, Stalin presented the fact that Churchill wore his zipper suit to visit him in the KreEnlin. This was the cover-all suit worn by the the British when entering underground bolnb-proof shelters, and Churchill, perhaps for protec- ton against the cold, wore his zipper suit when he called on Stalin.

 Next visit between Stalin and Churchill was at Teheran, where they got along even worse. There they rowed over the second front, Churchill wanting 1t in the Bale kans, or any place but western France.
