HITLER
WANTS STALIN TO
LAUNCH ATTACK IN EAST
By SEFTON DELMER
HITLER is trying to lead foxy Joe Stalin into a campaign of conquest in the Middle East against Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and India, so that the Russian armies may create a diversion for a German push into south-eastern Europe.
He may have to push south-east soon, as the Balkans are rapidly closing against him, refusing him necessary supplios, which may force him into making an attempt to got thom by arms.
Diplomatic agents, military experts, newspaper propaganda, all have been mobilised for the task of dazzling before the eyes of Stalin, the riches of the East; the domination of regions which throughout history have been the happy hunting- ground of Georgian raiders.
What success he is having is not yet clear.
