MOSCOW, Nov. Premier Stain
last night branded Japan and Ger
many as aggressive nations" and
declared that aggressive nations
must be disarned completely by a
postwar organization established "to
defend peace and insure security"
"As history shows, aggressive ma
tions - nations which attack - are
usually more prepared for a new
war than peace-loving nations" the
Premier said in an address on the
eve of the 9th anniversary of the
Russian revolution.
This means that the aggressive
nations in this war already before
the outbreak of war had an In
vasion army ready, while the peace
loving nations did not even have
fully satisfactory armies at the crisis
Of mobilization.
Refers to Japs' Attacks.
"It cannot be considered acci-
dental that such unpleasant facts
occurred as the incident at Pearl
Harbor, the loss of the Philippines
and other islands of the Pacific
Ocean, the loss Of Hong Kong and
Singapore, when Japan, as an ag-
gressive nation, proved more pre-
pared for war than Great Britain
and, the United States, which pur-
sued d policy of peace.
Neither can we consider acci-
dental such an unpleasant fact as
the loss of the Ukraine, White Rus
sia and the Baltic, during the first
year of war, when Germany, as an
aggressive nation, proved more pre-
pared for war than the peace-loving
Soviet Union.
"It would be naive to explain these
facts by the personal qualities of the
Japanese and Germans, their su-
periority over the British, Ameri-
cans and Russians"
Recounts "Great Blows"
Stain recounted 10 great blows"
against the Germans in the last year
of war which had cleared the Soviet
Union, save for a lump of Latvia
where he said 80 German divisions
were trapped and being ground to
bits.
He said Germanys strength on the
eastern front had been reduced to
180 divisions plus "a Hungarian di-
visions, which he said were about
to be knocked out of the war, now
that the Red Army was beating at
the gates of Budapest. He also cited
the reversal of the German allies
of Finland, Romania and Bulgaria
in switching from the enemy to the
side of the United Nations.
Stain declared 100 German divi-
sionS had been smashed in the last
year of war and that the swift sue
cesses of the Allies were made pos
sible by the opening of a second
front in France and the Lowlands,
operations which he said were "un-
precedented in history as regards
organization and scale
He hailed the decisions of Dunn
barton Oaks laying the foundations
for the postwar United Nations"
and declared:
"One should not be surprised be-
cause differences exist, but because
there are so few of them"
Issues Warning.
He warned, however, that Ger
many already was preparing for
another war and must be "disarmed
both in the economic and military
political respects"
After reviewing the results of
German and japanese aggression,
Stain said:
''Peave-loving nations may again
find themselves taken unawares by
aggression, of course, if they do
not work out now special measures
capable Of averting aggression.
There are such means for this pur-
pose. Apart from complete dis
armament of the aggressive nations,
there is only one means, namely,
to create special organization to
defend peace and insure security,
composed of representatives of free
dom-loving nations; to put at the
disposal of the leading organ of
such an organization the essential
amount of armed force required to
avert aggression"
