By MADAME TABOUIS, Who also tells why Germany has not attempted to bomb British cities
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 (Stalin's successor-designate) and the militarists, who have now been disavowed by the Marshal.
Hiller 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 to decide on a military expedition to Finland.

But just as Hitler was about to carry out certain "reprisals" against the Allies to wipe out the humilation of the Graf Spee, he became awara that the Kremlin was hanging back,

This is a terrible blow for Hitler, who is obliged once again to abandop attack in the west and resume econo- mie negotiations with Moscow in the same suspicicus spirit as before.
