MOSCOW, Mar. 1.-THE CON-
plete tert OF the editorial in Prap-
da attacking Wixston Churchill.
Former English Prime Minister
i Winston Churchill, who is in the
United States. made big speech on
March in Fulton.
4 An unusual newspaper fanfare
preceded Churchil1's speech. Be-
fore time American newspapers an
nounced a forthcoming "sensa-
tional" speech. The press did not
spare color in painting an alluring
advertisement Churchill himself
did not spare color. He mobilized
his whole arsenal of oratorical art.
But all the same, Churchill was not
successful. The majority of Amer
ican, as well as English papers,
frankly acknowledge the speech was
not a success and that the orator
spilled over the brim.
| When one reads the speech of
the former Prime Minister, one
must unwillingly recall the Churchill
of the period after World War 1.
Even then, Churchill did not keep in
step with history. Even then, he
slackened his pace in the course of
historically developing events. He
was the initiator of an anti-Soviet
campaign and the principal or
ganizer of armed intervention
against the Soviet Union. The Eng
lish people paid dearly for this ad-
venture of English reactionaries
who tried by armed force to enforce
their will on the young Soviet re-
public. This adventure, as is known,
fell with crash despite all the
efforts of the Churchills and
Chamberlains.
Previous Conceptions.
Many years have gone by, and a
lot of water over the dam, but
Churchill remained true to type.
He, as one can see. forgot nothing
and learned nothing. He is in the
grip of his previous conceptions. He
again is galloping on his old horse,
making a speech against the Soviet
Union, speaking sharply and ag-
gressively shaking the scarecrow of
"BolShevik danger" and "Bolshevik
expansion" extricated from the ar
chives While the war was on, while
there was a threat OF mortal danger
to England and Europe, Churchill
| in his speeches more than once
pointed to the outstanding role of
the U. S. S. R..
He then pretended to be a friend
of the Soviet people and made an
oath of faithfulness of Soviet Eng
lish friendship, and on the entire
Anglo Soviet American coalition.
But the danger is over. The danger
that hung over Europe and England
from the side of Hitlerite Germany
has passed into eternity and
Churchill has become himself again.
He can now give freedom to his real
feelings which he kept in secret all
these years of the war, carefully
concealing his hostile plans and in
clinations regarding the Soviet peo-
pie. Churchill is sufficiently expert
enced to know how to cover these
inclinations and plans with blatant
phrases about democracy, peace and
the fraternity of peoples.
But you need only to read his
speech Ard no doubt remains about
how false and hypocritical these
phrases we're on Churchills lips
when he thrust out words about the
"expansionist tendencies" of the
Soviet Union, on the iron screen
which has fallen across the CONT
nent," on the shadow from the east
which has fallen across the fields"
just recently enlightened by the
victory of the Allies-poisoned with
the poison and hatred toward real
democracy.
Horrors of Expansion"
What does Churchill speak about
now? He produces the ancient ca
lumny against the Soviet Union
trying in the old way as he did 20
years ago to frighten the entire
world with the horrors of Soviet
expansion" which carries a menace
to the real democracy of the west"
He speaks with unconcealed wrath
about Warsaw, Prague. Belgrade,
Bucharest, Budapest and Sofia,
which to Churchill's horror are in
the Soviet sphere" and "all subor-
dinate in one or another form not
only to Soviet influence but in con-
siderable degree, to increasing con-
troll of Moscow" He calls them all
police states except Czechoslovakia,
to which he makes a not very cour-
teous bow as though no real democ-
racy" exists. He jumps on the Polish
government, accusing it of making
unjust infringement upon Germany.
He rants and shouts at "all these
eastern states of Europe" and
against totalitarian control as If
this has been established there.
This isn't the free Europe crea-
tion for which we fought. This
isn't the Europe which contains the
foundation for firm peace" exclaims
Churchill. and warns that "at the
present mono mt, war may reach any
country, no matter where it be be-
