THE LESSON
"Too many Russians have died; too much earth lias been scorched: the people of Russia have invested too heavily in victory to stop fighting for the sake of a shoddy peace. Stalin must know this; that any separate peace which left half of Russia under Nazi control and the rest at the mercy of Germany apd Japan would be regarded by the stubborn defenders of Russian soil as a traitorous betrayal. Besides, Stalin has before him the example of Marshal Petain, Avho sought a soldier's truce at Hitler's hands, only to stand to-day as the symbol of a State in vassalage to Nazi Germany. —New York Times.
