Moscow Radio Saws
By the Associated Pres,

LONDON. Sept. 2l-The Moscow
radio said today that Henry A.
Wallace had championed a policy
OF peaceful collaboration and
understanding in opposition to
"imperialist expansionist' groups"
in the United States.
Contrasting the former Commerce
Secretarys utterances with Winston
Churchills Zurich (SWitzerland)
speech calling for a United States
of Europe, the Russian commenta-
tor, Mikhail Mikhailov, said the
former British Prime Minister
picks up the pebbles where Byrnes
left them last week in Stuttgart" :"
and added:
Whereas Wallaces speech is
anxious to do away with all evidence
OF a strict policy toward Russia
Churchill's speech gives the impress
sion that what he wants is the
establishment of Franco German
alliance which could be used by
Britain and the United States as
a means to create regional fedora
tions strong enough to oppose the
Soviet Union"
Conflicting Tendencies"
Churchill is suggesting Mix
hallov said, that a comradeship
be established between France and
Germany under the aegis of Great
Britain and the United States which
would, naturally. serve as a basis
Tor new anti-Soviet combina tons"
Mikhailov declared that as every
where in the world. there are two
conflicting tendencies in America.
The first stands for peaceful COL
laboratlon and understanding with
other countries on the basis of
equality and mutual respect.
The second, representing the
mperlallst expansionist groups.
stands for force and the armaments
race, policy which harbors the
seeds OF third world confederation
and is leading to a breakdown of
international collaboration and the
creation of antagonistic blocs."
Voice of Common Man.
Richard Crossman, Labor member
OF Parliament. wrote tonight that
Mr.. Wallace speaks for the COM
mon man and answered no" to the
question of whether Mr.. Wallace was
speaking out of turn in criticizing
Secretary of State Byrnes' foreign
policy.
Mr.. Crossman. an editor of the
weekly New Statesman and Ma
ton and member of the recent
Anglo-American commission to in
vestieate European Jewry. said it
was "ludicrous" TO suggest that Mr..
Wallace is anti-British.
Mr.. Wallace has blurted out some
truths about American foreign
policy Mr Crossman said in an
article in the Sunday Pictorial.
He cautioned Britain against 90
Ing along with Mr. Byrnes because
the truth is that Britain is very
much number two in Mr. Byrnes'
idea of an Anglo American bloc"
and said that Mr. Wallace has had
the courage to say things about
American Imperialism which many
OF US have been thinking for
months. i
Aim Seen to Block Russia :.sssgit
On the other hand, Mr.. Crossman
said, Mr.. Byrnes, with the SUPPORT
of the Army and Navy chiefs and
of the traditional anti British, anti
Russian lsolatlonist elements, takes
the view that America S job is to
block Russian expansion, if necessary
by threatening to use the atomic
bomb.
Either with Mr.. Byrnes we can
go on trying to put an Anglo Amer
ican squeeze on Russia, Mr.. Cross /
man said, ''or, as Mr.. Wallace sue-
gested, We may make new and
genuinely friendly attempt TO settle
our disputes.
Mr.. Byrnes may speak for the
service chiefs. believe Mr.. Wallace
speaks for the common man"
