GERMAN ADVANCE
DOUBTS ABOUT NAZI AMBITIONS
EVENTS WATCHED
NEW YORK, September 11
The" Moscow correspondent of the "New York Times" says that there are many reasons why the Russian people are worried over the German advance.
Originally, they believed that the pact with Germany would make it impossible for . the French and British to back Poland and that the Poles would be compelled to" surrender Danzig, postponing the war indefinitely. When, nevertheless, it broke out they believed it would be a prolonged struggle, and that determined Allied attacks in the west would prevent such concentrated, attacks in the east as seem now to threaten to eliminate Poland and in a few weeks bring German troops on the whole length of the Russian border.
The abrupt conclusion of the pact entirely failed to convince the Russians that Herr Hitler .has really abandoned the role of the saviour of the world from Bolshevism, nor have they forgotten the oft-repeated Nazi ambitions to possess the Soviet Ukraine.
