Take Joe Stalin for instance. Here was man ‘who had been a low order of criminal and rebel until he rose to a great eminence among his nation of 160 million people. He did not change particularly when he became dictator. He still is a criminal governed by no law except his own will. Where he once was a bank robber, an assassin,: and always a thief, by access ‘to supreme “power. he became merely a greater robber, thief and assassin. He ihad never been religious and on mounting the throne he did all in his power to abolish the fear of God and to substitute the fear of Stalin. . If we remember that Stalin was great deal to Harry See, former sec retary of the state democratic central committee; It is entirely through was passed. Lest .we forget, by the terms of that original bond act, every county seat in the state was to be surprised that he does those things that criminals commonly do. Anyone can guess why the hated England and refused to come to any terms with that country before Germany loosed its war machine, For England the law comes first. In Russia Stalin was first. And there are classes there, just as there were in old Russia. But in England the nobility, as a general rule, had a proud tradi tion of service. In any war for past centuries, the names of the great families led all others in the lists of battle dead. But in Russia, under the 'Czars the nobility, speaking of the nobles as a class, were merely favorites of the Czar. They purused their pleasures, rolled up fortunes and abused and robbed the great mass of workers, Stalin could make no distinction.
