WASHINGTON-I is always diff
ficult to diagnose what goes on
inside the inscrutable Russian
mind. But it is not difficult to
know what goes on in Stains
mind regarding one man who has
played large part in our Russian
Winston Churchill
From the days Immediately after
the last war, when Churchill spur
red the sending of Allied troops to
Archangel and, Siberia to block the
Bolsheviks, they have always dis
liked him. Wendell Willkie dined in
the Kremlin, Stain rose and
launched a violent attack against
Churchill for taking Lend-Lease
planes off ships destined for Russia
when those ships stopped in Scot
land.
Knowing, how Churchill encour-
aged Czarist Admirals and Cen
erals to fight against them in the
early struggling days of the Soviet,
and how even recently Churchill
remarked, What will stand as
protection between the white cliffs
of Dover and the white SHOWS Of
Russian, it is easy to understand
why Stain is sometimes almost
savage in the notes he sends to
Churchill.
With Franklin Roosevelt alive,
the Russians had friendly third
party whom they liked and trusted.
to act as mediator between Stain
and Churchill. Once or twice, es-
pecially at Teheran, the two men
were literally at each others throat
before Roosevelt stepped in.
But today, with Roosevelt dead.
Stain suddenly finds himself face
to face with the man he distrusts
