Russia Wares Axis Satellites

(Rec. 11 a.m.) LONDON, Dec- 6. A warning to Rumania, Hungary and Finland that they would suffer the same harsh fate as Germany unless they abandon the Axis before Hitler’s final defeat, is given by the Moscow journal “War and the Working Class.” “They are lying low, trying to detract attention from their participation in the war against the Allies. They still hope that certain irresponsible political meddlers in Britain and America will save them from their inexorable fate. A heavy responsibility for numerous crimes against the Soviet people weigh on the consciences of the present rulers of these countries.” . Want Goid Standard Professor Varga, Russian economist, in an‘article in “War and the Working Class” says Russia is interested in all steps calculated to hasten tne restoration of economies in other countries as well as Russia. However, Russia is not interested in any international bank or currency stabilisation fund owing to the different methods she has adopted to secure stable currency. Advocating a gold standard Professor Varga writes “if all Russia's trade with the rest of the world could be done on a basis of a fixed value of gold currency, trade relations would undoubtedly be facilitated.”
