It has even reached that point wliere Hitler is reliably reported to have permitted the estab- lislinint of a central office of the Comintern (Third Interna­ tional) in Germany, whence defeatist propaganda can be spread in France and Great Brit^jn by various means. Both , ilitler and SUilin, however much their personalities, ambitions, ' and policies may clash, must now stay together in their unholy partnership until the end> because their actions have made them the pariahs of the world. The nations; and especially the smaller ones, have gradually come to realize since last summej' that none are safe from the coldly planned campaigns of savage brutality by which these two fiends hope to attain world domination. Not all the nations are at pi'esent in open conilict against them, but all will be if such shall be necessary to ensure their destruction. Moreover, included in that destruc­ tion rfrust be to a ^ a t e r or lesser extent their peoples, who, by theii' ready acquiescence and participation in atrocities have shown themselves to be, on the grand average little .better than their two leaders. , • • , For tile comparative peace on the land since the war started we can probably most thank the Turks, next, of course, to the British and French navies and air forces. For indioa:. tions point more and more to the deciding battles of the'con­ flict being fought in the Near and Central East. And had not the Tui'k kept his word like a good Mohammedan at great risk to himself, the campaign might have been on already. As it is, his stand and that of the Finns have heartened the little Balkan nations, also in similar peril, and now the way eastward will not be ,so easy for the Russian armies. Howevk, that a Russian thrust south will come in the spring there seems to be very little doubt, -probably with armies staffed by German experts. Not even an undefeated^ Finland can be allowed, to stand in the way, and that will be hardly possible without the help of the Scandinavian na­ tions who will be forced in to save th'em'selves from an attack which would surely follow a Finnish .defeat. The dictators simply dare not wait any lohger and there is fio Maginot Line in the south, to bar the Way. Only_.Hitler and a very few Nazil/iTJ /iTi'Vr* . \7ir\ /mtt' ^ ̂ IZ 371..
