WHAT RUSSIA HAS LOST
GOODWILL OF MILLIONS OF WELL-WISHERS. Stalin has done more than redraw the map of Eastern Europe. He has re-made the minds of a whole generation, says the Co-operative News, expressing the view of the British Co- , operative and Labour parties. Millions of democrats whose faith in Russia lias survived a hundred blows now ' face these two facts: There would have been no war had not Hitler se- ' cured his Eastern front by the pact with Russia; there would have been a I long-drawn-out Polish resistance, im- * mobilising large units of Fascist Pow- : er, if Russia had not attacked Poland in the rear. Russia has broken her 1 treaties. She has abandoned her ideals. ‘ She has shattered the faith of those ( who saw her as the one great Power 1 consistently opposed to aggression and 1 free from Imperial ambitions. She | 1 may have gained in territory, built up ■ an uneasy entente with Fascism. She ■ has lost immeasurably by throwing I away the goodwill of millions of well- ’ wishers who have been her real allies 1 in building up what they believed was ( to be a new State, actuated by new t principles in foreign as well as home I affairs. 1
