In any event, he | said, wars could not be won with atomic bombs. He also charged that the reten- tion of United States military fore- es in China threatened peace. Answers Nine Questions Stalin expressed these views in answer to nine written questions submitted by Alexander Werth, Moscow correspondent of the Lon- don Sunday Times. The Soviet leader said he did not believe the United States and Bri- tain were trying to encircle Russia with a capitalist ring and could not do .50 “even if they so desired.” He said Russia had no intention of us- ing Germany either against west- ern Europe or against the United States, since this would not be in the interest of the Soviet Union. JHe called ' for “demilitarization and democratization” of Germany as one step toward a “stable and lasting peace.” Not Real Danger “One should strongly differentiate between the hue and cry about a ‘new war’ which is taking place now and the real danger of a ‘new war,” which does not exist at pre- sent,” Stalin said. | Stalin’s replies to Werth were his first answers to any foreign corres- pondent’s letter since March 22, when he told Associated Press cor- respondent Eddy Gilmore he be- lieved in the United Nations as an instrument ol peace. At that tine, he told Gilmore he believes “neith- er the nations or their armies are seeking another war,” and he urged A, campaign to expose “war-mon- gers.” WALLACE'S STATEMENT WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.—Henry Wallace, the former Secretary of FOR "MUTILATION MURDERS”", LONDON George Clevely Heath, 29, SHIPS NOT TAKING FREIG 'Treasury Boss | Must Continue ! | Toward Russia fo Al- lay Suspicions ture Brighter Now than | at First of Year LONDON, Sept. 24.—Anthony Ed- CHICAGO, Sept 24, —Treasury en says the United States and|Secretary John W.
