Other Voice Sounds Different.
Voice No. 2 says:

America and Americans, and the
Soviet press has always reflected

The blast against American

July issue Of Bloknot Agitators

is marked by such things as start
ing of the News and the recent
letter to President Truman from
Soviet President Nikolai Shvernik
Why the build-up Of two sucf
apparently opposite propaganda
campaigns?
The Soviet rulers in the Krem-

Minister Stain himself:

enemy if one has not learned tc

with Germany. He said then:
Gone are the complacency ano
carelessness with respect to the
enemy which occurred among oul
