ATTACK ON M. STALIN.
WORK OF SOVIET AGENTS. LONDON, Feb. 30. The Matin has made a surprising attack on M. Stalin. “A so-called moderate paper,” it says, “publishes the appalling remark, ‘Stalin does not threaten ns.’ Certainly he has not massed troops on our frontier, and it is doubtful whether the Red parachutists could descend on Paris, but there is an invasion as harmful as that of an army that leaves devastation in its wake. It is that of the army of agents and spies who cause disorder wherever they go, sowing hatred, undermining ininstitutions and laws, defying justice and the police, setting citizens against each other, ruining the soul of the nation the better to dissipate its strength. “If M. Stalin does not threaten us with his own guns, he endeavours to turn those of others against us. He would work for war, hoping we shall be dragged in. He solidifies hostilities which might be ljung in wait for us, liquidates friendships which might aid us. M. Stalin is a man of blood.”
