of the civilized world. It has reveal
ed the Soviet army as andll-organ

alarmed Hitler to the extend that in
choosing Russia as an ally he has
loosed a force chieﬂy concerned, in
the final analysis, of using Germany
' itself as a Red wedge to be driven
into the Balkans. There is small
chance that the Reich can depend
on Russia either for greatly needed
