The letters are genuine and the
pictures appear to be so.
The Germans are told that the
choice before all good Germans is
divided Germany versus united
Germany; that the western powers
fought the Reich twice since 1914,
between which wars they tried to
keep Germany subject. second
class nation; that the overthrow of
the Cars brought Germany and
Bolshevist Russia together and that
if it had not been for Hitler's folly
they would have remained allies
throughout World War II.
Stalin's Speeches Revised
Prime Minister Stains speeches
in l942-in which he declared that
the U. S. S. r. was fighting only
Hitlerites and not the German
people-are being busted off and
being widely distributed. Further
more, Mr.. Molotov's determination,
in London, to discuss the political
refrigeration of Germany before
, any other subject, is offered as final
proof that the future and we'll
being of the Reich is paramount in
the mind of the Russian govern
ment.
While the Soviet Foreign Minister
Is making big play for Germany,
Moscow's stooges in France and
Italy are making desperate attempts
to create such confusion that the
governments of those two countries
will fall, regardless of the high hopes
Americas financial laid may have
stirred in the rank and file of the
people. The ordinary German
would like to see nothing better
than the "just punishment of the
arrogant Frenchmen." This feeling
is further stimulated by propaganda
from the Russian zone to the effect
that America and Britain actually
are attempting to increase the power
of France by sacrificing the western
areas Of Germany.
! America, the Russian propaganda
agents say, soon will have to with
draw her troops from Germany and
will wash her hands of the Reich.
They say further that Britain and
France-so long as they remain in
the hands of "reactionary" or soft
Socialist governments" will be the
tools of the United States, whose
monopolistic and imperialistic aims
demand that France control the
Reich with Britain's economic par
ticipation. ,
The Germans have only scorn for
Italy. Present developments there,
which are likely to lead either to
revolution or separation OF the
country into a Communicated
north and "Fascist"-r ruled south, are
being widely publicized In the Reich.
I 1t is pointed out that Northern
italy, once a part of the German
empire. inevitably will join hands
with the other democratic" re-
gimes under Russia's tutelage. And
that is the only portion Of Italy
in which the Germans are inter-
ested.

The others have. succumbed to
Soviet pressure and today are firmly
in the grip of local Communist re-

Natural Meeting Place
This exceptional country Is Czecho-
slovakia, the long, wedge-shaped
land that lies atlfwart the heart OF
Central Europe, running almost due
east and west from the confines OF
the Soviet Union to the midriff OF
the former German Reich and sun
dering the Danube Valley from the
North European plains. That geo.
graphical position is itself reveal
ing. It marks Czechoslovakia as a
natural meeting place between in
fiuences coming from both west and
east. And history has abundantly
proven the truth of this logical OBJ
servation.
The foundations of Czechoslovakia
were laid about the 5th century
AID, when Slav tribes migrating
from further eastward expelled the
Germanic inhabitants of the entire
region and settled down as masters.
Originally, these tribes were indis-
tinguishable, but the lay of the land
divided them sufficiently to insure
a divergent evolution. The people
who became known as Czechs pene-
trated the westward lands of Bo-
hemia and Moravia, plateau country

Eritrea commands the southern
reaches of the Red Seattle back
door of Britain's present main Mid

It f1anks the route that British
troops will take If they leave the
canal zone, as Egypt demands, and
withdraw to their proposed "air
age" base in the more remote crown
colony of Kenya, which has a fine
harbor of its own.
Whether the main base stays in
the canal zone or shifts to Kenya
Eritrea, with its potential naval base
and high roads into the African in
terror, will not be far away.
Strategically the basic British OBJ
jective is probably to see that the

Our purpose should be to take the
initiative and assert our moral
leadership in countering the at
tacks against us.
First of all, it is necessary for US
to deal with this problem, not
piecemeal but as whole.
To do this we must examine
carefully all those places where
our national interests may be in
conflict with those of the Soviet
Union. The manner of dealing with
these conflicts can be sensibly de-
termined only by understanding the
relation of one to another, and the
realization that we cannot sup
port one place or another as an
isolated rampant or citadel.
Yet that is what we are inclined
to do, and we see a tendency to

Europe or for the Middle East as
against Korea,
The simple truth is that we must
tie all these areas together as a
mosaic of defense in depth, and

British Still Interested
Indian and British troops, ad.
vancing across the deserts of the
Sudan, captured Eritrea from ths
Italians early in 1941, with some
help from Free French forces. Dur.
ing the following year the country
was the scene of intensive British

wooded mountains which insured a
large degree of isolation. One of
these ranges separated them from
their kinsmen, the Slovaks, to the
eastward, whose country looks
southwark to the valley of the
Middle Danube, whereas the Czech
lands are oriented toward what was
to become Germany on the north
and Austria on the south. These
natural trends were accentuated by
the course of history, the Czechs be-
coming connected with the medieval
Germanic empire, whereas the Slo-
vaks presently fell under the sway
of the Magyars or Hungarians. Thus
arose the distinction between Czechs
and Slovaks which has proved to be
the basic problem in the welding
Of the two subpeoples into united
nation.
Story of Struggle
Down to recent times, the story
of the Czechs has been an almost
continuous struggle against Ger
manization. Indeed, they never be-
came fully masters of their own
house, because during the Middle
Ages the mountainous fringe Of Bo-
hemia was re-colonized with Ger
mans, while after the subjugation
Of the Czech lands by the Austrian
Hapsburgs, the ruling aristocracy
became Germanized. Nevertheless,
during the 18th century the Czechs
experienced strong nationalistic
revival while the Slovaks under
went a similar awakening. Both
peoples were, therefore, ready for
independence when the Hapsburg
empire went to pieces after World
War I and Czechoslovakia emerged
as new nation.
The new country was blessed with
a gifted group Of founding fathers,
especially its first President, Thomas

The distinguished historian, Allan Nevins in his
recent history Of the United States called Ordeal
}of the Union" said:
"' In century and = half. twice failure of
craftsmanship, If not Of national character cost the
country far more than it could afford to pay"
He says that "the Civil War and the Second World
War should have been avoidable."
Because the people and the leaders Of the United
States did not act with determination and sagacty,
he claims, the very existence Of Republic was
imperiled, and it saved only by colossal effort
and the sacrifice Of a vast part Of the national
wealth.
Errors like these, he says in time be largely
retrieved-but they cannot be forgotten forgiven,
and their lessons should be driven home.
Red Army Could Move In
We should remind ourselves of these lessons now,
when events making heavy demand upon our
good sense our wisdom and our courage
While do not share the belief of many others that
