% and published in mid-September, Henry
Wallace proposed that 1--WE try to learn why
the United States distrusts Russia"
An honest man would not have to put the
question for the answer was made by JOSEF
Stain himself when he predicted, in a speech,
to American communists, cited by Max East
man, our own backslid bolo, a revolutionary
crisis in the United States at a moment mot
far off, which would be the beginning OF the
end of world capitalism, and conjured these
American traitors to prepare to take advant-
age of the crisis.
Wallace maintains relations with the Amerl-
can Stalinists, no longer correctly to be de-
scribed as communists, comparable to those
between Major Quislings, of Norway, and the
Nazis. Henry's Stanlinist friends are no more
friendly to this country than Hitler was to
Quisling's Norway.
Quisling believed in national socialism at
least to the extent that Wallace admires
Stalinism. In fairness and honesty, those who
admire Wallace should concede that Quisling
deserved, not death and historic disgrace, but
understanding. Failing it, they indict their own
Henry.
The United States and the U. S. S. R. estab-
lished relations on the basis of an admission
that Russia, up to that time, had interferred
in the internal affairs of this nation. The COM
munist party here had operated that con-
Spiracy. If the testimony of former members
of the party. including Benjamin, Gitlow, who
had been Earl providers predecessor as chief
conspirator, were insufficient to prove the case.
the formal admission of the Russian govern
ment that it was all true quiets the last doubt.
That admission is found in the Russian gov
ernment's solemn, but worthless, pledge to
stop it.
Nevertheless, in August 1885, the State De-
partment had to protest to Russia against the
activities involving interference in the internal
affairs of the United States, which took place

I'm view of the plain language of the pledge"
contained in the agreement of recognition, lit
is not possible for the Soviet government to
disclaim its obligation to prevent activities in
its territory directed toward overthroWing the
political or social order of the United States"
Mr.. Hull wrote. And, then pointed out, Russia
couldn't disown responsibility 'for its auth
GRITTY within its territorial limits is supreme
and its power to control the acts and utterances
of organizations and individuals within those
limits is absolute"
Never terminated but, at best, suspended,
these treacheries were resumed during the
Hitler-Stalin war in which Hitler divided Po-
land with Stain and gave Russia the Baltic
republics. The American Stalinists sabotag ed
the American industrial and armament pro-
gram and if Mr.. Wallace is unaware that they
did he will find angry acknowledgement of the
fact in the statement of F. D. Roosevelt, when
Roosevelt sent the Army to disperse insurrec-
tionists at an ~airplane factory at IngleWood,
Cal.
During the period of Russia's peril, however,
after Hitler attacked Russia, the interference
was suspended but solely in the interest of
Stalin's new empire. c. l. o. unions, in which
the Stalinist power is stronger than in those Of
the A. F. of L., even went to the point of
scabbing strikes in war industries, for Rus

Stalinist issued a statement amounting to a
decree repudiating the temporary and ex-
pedlent policy of cooperating with the capital
list economy of the United States and repudiat-
ing Browder who then was expelled in favor
of William z. Foster. So cynical and impudent
were the world conspirators under Stalin's
direction that they chose a traitor to France to
issue orders to the American traitors who
promptly obeyed. They now support Wal
lace.
Wallace asked Mr.. Truman. chow would it
look to us if Russia had the atomic bomb and
we did not. if Russia had 10. 000- mile bomb
ers and air bases within 1000 miles of our
coast and we did not?"
Those who believe that Wallace is an honest
man must answer whether he knows or be-
lleVes that Russia hasn't the secret of the
atomic bomb or is not within reach of this
knowledge. Stain himself, within a week, has
said that exclusive possession of the bomb can
IOl last long. WdlldCe must Know mat MS own
following includes persons who would exert
themselves to deliver it to Russia. Their col
leagues in Canada did. Again, how does he
know what bombers Stain has or can produce
within the time that would be allowed him to
anticipate war with the sloW-moving u. S. A.?
And to the last part of his question, the answer
is that Russia is well within 1000 miles of
Alaska and has been flying over American
territory in a manner to justify our shooting
down her planes on the precedent established
by Stain, through Tito, in the murder of young
American soldiers in Yugoslavia.
The United States ''distrusts' Russia on all
experience down to now, but most of all on the
ground of the Russian war on Finland in 1910.
That brief but ruthless conquest of a small
%neighbor was a warning to the United States
of the ugly nature of the Soviet brute. Stain
selected Otto Kuusinen, a notorious Finnish
traitor, formally denounced by the Finnish
foreign minister as Molotov's paid assistant"
to be nominal head of a Quisling government
behind the Russian lines. Then he told the
League of Nations that Russia was not at war
with Finland but was only helping Kuusinen's
peoples government to expel the ''bandit''
government. This is the Russian government
for which Wallace bespeaks American trust.
The American agents of the new Stain en-
plre, who now surround Wallace, hold that
Alaska is Russian territory on the ground that
the government of the car who sold it was
not a peoples government There are many
in Wallace's adherence today who would be
happy to play Kuusinen's role in a 'people's
