The ‘Record is pround to add a bit to the caus: 'of unity by printing today an article by Joseph E. Davies, American lawyer, capitalist and former U. S Ambassador to Moscow. ( We asked Mr. Davies: “What will be the politi- cal effect upon Europe and the world if Russia wins a complete victory over Germany?” We urge all our readers to study his answer. Mr. Davies reminds us that Russia has:subscribed to the Atlantic Charter, that Russia has an excellen® record for keeping obligations, that we are playing Hitler’s game when we find fault with an ally against a4 common enemy because he doesn't belong to our club | Mr. Davies, too, voices a profound American faith in the strength of our democratic institutions against the attacks of Communism or any other “ism.” We heartily indorse his confidence in our way of life. o We of the United Nations have a tremendous job ahead of us before we can impose on Hitler our terms of “unconditional surrender.” Russia is just as anxi- ous to see those terms in effect as we are. Via the Department of the Interior Information Service, complete with an OWI stamp, we have re- ceived a press release from the office of the Coor- dinator of Fisheries, Washington, D. C.
