(W x\shuu,lun Post) Now, we should say, is the time f something of the old pioneer spirit The Washington Merry-Go-Round (Comtinued from Page One) cussed with Ribbentrop the terms Germany was willing to pay to se- cure Russia’s entrance into the war to crush England Significant fact is that the Rus- sian price was almost identical with the goals Moscow has set for herself today: A sphere of influence in Bulgaria; also in Rumania; con- trol of the Dardanelles; domina- tion of Iran, Persia; a base in Saudi and of course the Baltic States and one-half of Poland which, in 1940, already had been given Rus- sia. The Dardanelles and the Near East were the easiest Molotov and Ribbentrop had solve. Hitler was quite willing give this area to Russia, but not Bulgaria and Rumania. Germany wanted to expand in the Balkans herself. That was where the nego- tiations foundered. Hitler by that time considered the Allies virtually defeated, and finally Molotov went | home without signing up as a Nazi ally. to WHAT RU WANTS TODAY Importance of these captured documents is the fact that Russian ambitions have not changed. De- spite the fact that we have estab- lished a United Nations to safl guard the world, Mcscow rema the same in negotiating with the Allies today as in 1940 when nego- tiating with the world’s bloodiest cutthroat— Hitler. Big question which Moscow's fo mer allies face is: Will the Rus sians risk war to get control of the Near East? Actually that is the question behind all the trouble in Palestine. That is also the question behind mobilization of the British Navy in the Near East and the sending of three crack British di- visions to the Gulf of Persia. It is the question which could plunge Europe into another war. To answer the question it is necessary to know something of what goes on inside the Soviet Union. There appear to be two schools of thought in Moscow—one for war and one against. The for- mer group is headed by Marshal Beriya, a Georgian who is a close friend of Stalin’s and is forme chief of the NKVD (secret police) This group believes that now is the time to strike at Turkey and Tri- este even if it means war with the United States and. Great Britain This group believes that with the U. 8. Army demobilized and the Ame; n people sick of war, the United States would not cceme to Britain's support as far away as the Near East. The Red Army there- fore should move immediately re- gardless of the consequences. 4 ‘The other group of Russian lead- ers is opposed to any showdown now.

INSIDE MOSCOW Which side will win out is any- body’s guess. However, certain un- derground rumblings inside the So- viet indicate that the path of war will not be an easy one. One factor the Soviet war group| will have to overcome is apathy on the part of the Red Army. Russian troops are tired of war, somewhat | disillusioned over the benefits of | Communism and many would re- \sent being called once more into| | battle. | | Desertions from the Red Army, | while impossible to estimate, have| continued in a steady dribble.

They were equally amazed at the comparative luxury of western civilization, even in bat- | Germany. Probably this for the intense propaganda campaign ,carried on by the Moscow press and radio against Great Britain and the United States.

This may be one reason for thed frantic production of Russian arms in Czechoslovakia, Poland and So- viet-occupied Germany. This may be one reason also for the whole- sale removal of Jap machines from The Red Army is trying to rearm in a hurry. However, it still has a long way to go. Such are some of the bacikstage | factors which strengthen the hand of the Moscow group which wants to de any showdown with their former allies. Despite this, the ma sing of Soviet troops and the So-| the | viet Navy diplomatic on Turkey, along the Black Sea, squeeze now being put the Russian propaganda ward an early showdown.

Unfortunately this campaign, by tearing down the once sincere war- time friendship for Russia which existed in ths country, has helped make such a situation partly true. RESTLI RED GENERALS | Another factor the Soviet wa urgers may have to worry about is some of the Red generals. Stalin, who has had a lot of experience with Red generals, is reported to have been uneasy about certain of them. Certain heroes previously touted as saviors of the Soviet have mysteriously disappeared from the scene. The great Timoshenko, hero of the early defense against Hitler, isn't heard of any more. Marshal Konev, the man who con- quered Austria, has dropped out of the picture. Marshal Zukhov, the hero of Berlin, has been trans- | ferred, though some say to the| more imporfant command of Odes- ! sa, jumping-off place of any cam- | | paign against Turkey.
