VARIED AIMS
Their political, economic and
social perspectives and aims vary
accordingly.
Stain has all Setup in Moscow
a government for Germany, made
up Of German war prisoners, pre-
sumably Communists, and spoken
Of in European newspapers as "a
government Of German generals.

tion so far as the generals are
concerned, There appears 10 be
only two or three of high rank
The rest are subordinate officers
and also some privates.

Another is Gen. Mayor, Of

established the German empire.
ALLIED TO RUSSIA
This provisional government,
chosen from the free Germany

war prisoners in Moscow" is
committed TO the closest co-opera-
tion eventually in an alliance
of Germany and Soviet Russia.
Stain repeatedly wants RooSe-
