All the Russians have done with the Allied repre­ sentatives ; in Moscow during these many weeks, is to' hold them at the end of a string.


If, as Mr. Bevin said in July,


we would not negotiate with Russia until the blockade was lifted—no self-respecting nation, he added, would,' talk under duress—the Inevitable conclusion must be .that we have put aside


our self-respect,- and not for the first time.


The truth is we are being out­


smarted' by the lords of the Kremlin, who slavishly copy -the methods of Hitler, relying upon our following exactly .the same proCMure, that of a .worn-out appeasement. Before we play poker with Russia we should know how many aces she has hidden up her sleeve. She has used them , with effect since last


April, when the squeeze began, and always we have retreated. , We are in danger of forgetting


that Russia is a predatory. Power, who did not scruple, when the 1939 war was let loose,'to come


to terms with our chief enemy Hitler.' She aided Hitler to the extent of her power, and shared with him the. desire .to see .the Western democracies crushed.

No sooner was her skin finally saved in 1945, by .the, fall of Berlin .than Russia began to show once again her -hostility“to the Western dehiocracies.


■ I


3[’HE Russian-German pact of , 1939, was one of the most cynical Instruments of. all the


.cynical instruments Wen,ted In the annals of diplomacy. I Both Powers carved up .their' neigh-; hours as; If they had been; divid­ ing sheep. With Hitler’s consent, Russia marched into Poland, and to please her aUy ruthlessly sup­ pressed all' anti-Hitler propa­ ganda. ; .


. Both ;stalln and Molotov


declared* that Russia would never stand for Germany getting into a difficult position;' Luckily they had riot entered into the war on


Hitler’s side before he changed his mind.


' Russia’s mind; so far as the


Western Powers are concerned, has not cjianged-lt is. still hostile. Why ? For no other reason than that the democracies show no sign of ; going over bag and baggage ; .to , Communism and accepting; their orders from the Kremlin. That would put Moscow on top of the world, and the democracies can no riiore permit a one-ihan show at Moscow than they could permit a one-man show at Berlin.


! Does'that -mean .war 7 It need


not mean war. If Stalin finds it more expedient to be content with the .multitude of Commun­


ists inside and outside Russia he has already got, and is prepared to live and let live and let the rest of the world govern itself in its owi) way, then there is no reason why .the. East and West cannot'agree to differ but to live


in peace.' The last word lies with Stalin.


1 ! This article was, of course,


written : before-, the Three Western .Powers referred their differences with. Russia to the Security Council; I t is generally agreed that the Security Council can or: will do nothing ,to solve the problem., 'What then? The firmer we are with Russia, the less the chances of war.
