was Indifferent to the character OF
the Nazi regime. He wished British

The murderous Nazi persecution
of the Jews did not affront Stain
and in the partition of Poland and

Gen. Keitel was obliged to report
to the German government: "The
expulsion of the Jews into Russian

giving the Soviet Union the appear
ance of an aggressor."
(This line was taken by the Amer
lean Communist press and else
where, and is still the line taken
by the Soviet whenever 1t makes
aggressive interventions)
The documents show that Stain
welcomed the successful German In
vasion of Scandinavia, the Low
Countries, and France, and was
perturbed over the failure Of the
battle Of Britain. They showed he
joined with Hitler in excoriating
Roosevelt as q warmonger.
But the documents reveal other
things as well. Sir Stafford Grips
In Moscow offered, we learn, In
return for a Russian alliance with
the west, to recognize the Soviets
right to "the unification and leader
ship Of the Balkans and the safe
guarding of her interests in the
straits" Dardanelles).
Why Pact Was Broken.
And finally we learn that the pact
broke up-from the Russian side
because of the German invasion Of
Yugoslavia and Greece, which the
Soviets maintained were entirely in
their sphere, and-on the German
side-by repeated Russian unilateral
actions-in Lithuania and Bukovina
and, against specific agreements
the forcible bolshevization Of all the
territories into which Russia moved.
These documents were discovered
in April, 1945, by the American 1st
Army. Their contents were imme-
diately known to the American
Military Intelligence and civilian
officials. And, in substance, their
contents also were known to some
American journalists, including my
self, and account for my doubts from
then on about the wisdom of trust-
ing an agreement with Russia.
What battles the intelligence, how
ever, is why our Government con-
tinued to go through with the
United Nations charter, whose whole
premise for peace is permanent
great-power agreement; and why we
proceeded with the Nuremberg
trials, with the Russians sitting as
prosecutors and judges against the
very persons they had egged on to
war and with whom they had
plotted to divide the spoils.
Nor are we informed why the
State Department has waited three
years to let the American people
know this much of the truth.

Purge of Civil Service.
George Dimitrov, the Moscow
appointed dictator of Bulgaria whose
talents are more in the political
than the military field. has ordered
a complete purge of the Bulgarian
civil service, and especially the
foreign Office.
At the present time all suspected"
characters have been dismissed, but
there are still a number Of per-
sons who possess a pink hue, rather
than the approved deep red de-
sired by Moscow. Orders have been
issued that by March all these
doubtful persons in Bulgarian civil
service should be replaced by con-
frmed Communists, regardless OF
their ability or knowledge of foreign
affairs.
The relations between Moscow's
satellites and their perfunctory
dealings with the nations outside
the Iron Curtain are the business
of the Kremlin. Hence, 1t is unim-
portant whether satellite diplomats
at home or abroad know their Jobs
The essential thing is that they
blindly follow instructions from
Moscow.
This explains why the ENJOYS OF
Soviet puppet states are only figure
heads in their own missions, while
the real supervisory jobs are always
entrusted to persons named in dip
lomatic lists as minor attaches, or
even stenographers or chauffeurs.
They later have no contact with
the foreign government to which
their mission is accredited, but no
ambassador or high official can
send a cable in code without their
first reading and passing on it.
These "menials" report directly
to headquarters without the know
ledge OF the ambassadors and other
Diplomatic personnel.

years this was Harry Mcbride, who
was invaluable to me because Of his
experience, judgment, ability and
diplomacy in dealing with people
inside and outside the department

then gave me, in strict confidence,
an account Of any particular hap
penings throughout the department
during the preceding day, with suit
able suggestions. He next laid be-
fore me q list Of engagements for
the day. .
As I went through the stack OF
papers, kilograms and documents
laid before me, I made decisions on
them wherever possible, without
further conference or investigation
and simultaneously sent tnstruc-
tions to appropriate officials in the
department for carrying them out

him all information that would be
useful to him In performing his
functions. Next came the Assist
ant Secretaries of State and other

During the day requests nearly
always came in for emergency con.
ferences in my office. As each sue.

that most of the mistakes arising
