SOVIET POLICY
Waiting Patiently While Europe Chooses
“NO PEACE WITHOUT US” By Telegraph —Press Assn —Copyright. MOSCOW, Nov. 11. M. Michail Kalinin, Senior President of the Central Executive Committee, in the presence of M. Jo-ssif Stalin, decorated M. Maxim Litvinoff, Commissar for Foreign Affairs,.with the Order of Lenin, Russia’s highest honour. In acknowledging, M. Litvinoff said: “The Soviet is now so strong that she does
not fear any enemy or combination of enemies. We are not arming to measure our strength with anyone but that others may not entertain the impudent hope of measuring their strength with ours.” He added that the Soviet stood for the system of collective security within the League. The only alternative was rapprochement with possible aggressors. “As far as we are concerned,” he added, “we are relying on our own means of defence and can wait patiently while Europe chooses, knowing that the others cannot achieve peace without us.”
