When you are of two minds on some queation, your actions are Hkely to be confused and confusing. The fact ia that it la to our interest to have nelther of these totalitarian nations score a decialve vietory over the other. They are both enemics of democracy. Suppose Hitler knocks Russia out of the war, organizes it into a big arsenal asd food warehouse for Nazism, and refits a 60 bigger and victorious German Army. It will be imposalble for the United States aad Great Britain to dislodge him in Europe without gigantic invasion costing untold American and British tives and treasure, Until and wiless that tearful adventure fa undertaken and succeeds (which, after all, jt may not. do}, Naziem will be the ruling system all over Europe, if Hider wins decisively aver Russia. Suppose, on the other hand, Hitler is completely smashed and Germany is broken up into smail states. That will leave, Stalin or his successor the higgest military power on the contjnen of Europe-—just as the smashup of N: the dominant power op the continent. ocracy, though he is paying it lip service just now.

There has been altogether tog much of that kind of overaimplification, Bess writes. That is one reason why the American people are xo confused today. The truth is that the war in Europe is not black and white but a dirty gray. “Tt is not a war between democracies and dictatorships ,because some of the worst despot- iama in Europe are now counted among Britain's allies; and one of the few genuine democracies in Europe—Finland—has fought alongside Germany, I last visited Finland in January of this year; and reported at the time that the Finns would do just what they have done, if ever they got ghe chance. The Finns did not fight against democracy; they fought . againat- a totalitarian power which ravaged their country in 1940. And that game total- itarian power, Soviet Russia, had to fight later for ita life against Germany, with the active . enoouragement of Britain and the United States.” ' it appears from the etatements of this more than ordinary investigator that the last hope of overpowering the Reich rests on the alternative whether tre United States will not only finance but alee men the war or aban iti Soviet and their allies to their fate.
