It looks now as if the union bosses won't be able to keep their Juneau date and that the Federation's affiliated unions in the T v might hold a convention at which | Alaskans would even be allowed to say a few words. | R L Stalin Helped Finland (Cleveland Plain Dealer) When Stalin, through the secret police and the Soviet courts, purged the Russian Army and industry )f leaders he considered “undesirable elements,” he was preparing the way for the military disgrace which has come to Russia through Finnish resis- | tance The purge included more than merely Marshal Mikhail Tukhachevsky and a few top-ranking army officers. It did not engulf just a few political dis- senters whose hippodrome trial in Moscow attracted world attention. The purge, in the words of Louis Fischer, former Moscow correspondent of the Nation and one of the best informed Americans on Russian rs, reached eve town and village in the US.SR. lington, 1011 |8 and did away with “hundreds of thousands of 3 people.” No country can indulge in such blood letting and escape the consequences. Russia today is suffer- i them. The lack of leadership in the army, the inability of the personnel, apparently through ir- sufficient training, to handle modern machines of War the miserable condition of many of the comn soldiers taken prisoner can be traced to house cleaning by the firing squad in the last few years To remedy this condition the Kremlin resorts to more violence. Officers who fail to advance are threat i with trial before military tribunals—the verdicts already known. Not since the first French Republic during the reign of terror executed regi- mental and army commanders who suffered defeat on the battle fields has Europe seen this sort of thing The use of machine guns in the rear to spur/ Alaska is not a great fur Despite the on Soviet troops seems well established. Now offi-| popular conception that the Territory produces a cials of the secret police have gone to the front to) g » of the wor he R .. investigate. But the threat of more terror cannot s i el e up for the past mistakes of the regime.
