THE meeting of the Soviet Politbureau marked a turning point in the history of the war. Its decisions were another blow to Hitler.
Stalin, Molotov, Kalinin, and Marshal Voroshilov got the bet- ter of Zhdanov (Stálin's successor-designate) and the militarists, (who have now been disavowed by the Marshal,
Hitler was confident that he had manoeuvred Stalin into a total military and economic alliance. He was getting ready to avenge the inglorious fate of the Graf Spee. The Politburenu decisions have forced him to change his plans.
German machinations had been partly responsible for the pressure of extremists and militarists on Stalin and Molotov te ♦♦♦ | decide on a military expedition to Finland.

Hitler's New Proposals
Hitler then outlined to Ribbentrop new proposals for Moscow. These concerned the conduct of the war in The Balkans and on the Western Front. The iden was that Russia. |woukt not be able to resist German
pressure.
ressur
A number of Hitler's advisers, who were formerly opposed to his Russian policy, began to come round to his opinion. They assured him that they were now his most ardent sup- porters. Thanks to you," they said, "we shall win."
But just as Hitler was
about la carry out certain "reprisnis" against the Allies to wipe out the humilintion. of the Graf Spee, he became aware, that the Kremlin was hanging back.
Intimidatory Tactics
Stalin, Molotov, Kalinin, and even Voroshilay decided int they must return to tactles of intimidation and economic political pressure towards [neighbouring states. Fresh "military conquests" might only reveal some- thing radically wrong with the Red Army,
and this jeopardise once unt
for all the general Russian, policy, not only towards the Allies but tos wards Germany as well
The Politbureau therefore decided to make no mare 'military sacrifteés to Berlin.
This is a terrible blow for Hiller, who is obliged once again to abundori attack in the west and restime crono-. mic negotiations with Moscow in the same suspicious spirit as before.
The German Foreign OMee # pessimistle about these, negotiations. Their programme falls into three parts:
1. The old question of supplies for Germany, which have not yet started. Purchase Of Ships
2. The purchase of ships, particu- larly the two cruisers Stalin ory Molotov, together with the purchase or exchange of submarines and *planes.
3. The sharing of zones of "Im- perialism" in Scandinavia, Central Europe, the Balkans, and eventually Asia,
Hitler is informed that Stalin pre- fers intensive economie pressure on Rumania to military action, which

so much desires of armed Interven tion in the Balkans.
Hitler is in the unhappy position of being unable either to attack Stalin, despite the weakness of the Red Army, or to organise that army for his own ends.
Even the sullstaction of using hla formidable air weapon is denied him at present, as Geering is definitely opposed to the bombing of British or elvilian populations. The
German people," Goering, will put up with all imagin- able privations and repressions, but there is one thing it will not tolerate
being bombed.
says
"Consequently I ani absolutely opposed, till the final phase of the war, to any air raid on Perls and London."
