STALIN AND HITLER.
i As it would have been folly before so it would be folly now, to suppose that Russia’s action in annexing Bessarabia is in any way directed against or will offend Hitler, notes the ‘'Manchester Guardian.” Stalin is acquiring power and territory for Russia and is building, as lie hopes, a barricade against a somewhat doubtful future. Hitler wants his hands free and is confident that, when he chooses, lie can deal as he likes witli the barricade. For the present the dictators are dividing out the spoils, nor is there any ceitainty where they will stop in the whole of the Balkan region. Whether ultimately they will quarrel ,is of no interest to us if Germany should beat us. Therefore the moral is that which emerges from every new aspect of the war—that we must work as never before, leaving nothing nntbouglit of, nothing untried, nothing undone, that will help to victory.
