MOSCOW, July 3 (Reuter)-M. JOSEPH VISSARIONOVICH STALIN, FIRST SPEECH SINCE THE BEGINNING OF THE RUSSO-GERMAN WAR, TODAY DE- CLARED THAT GERMANY, AS A BELLIGERENT COUNTRY, WAS ALREADY MOBILIS- ED AND 170 DIVISIONS HAD BEEN MOVED TO THE FRONTIER, AND STOOD IN FULL READINESS TO AWAIT THE SIGNAL FOR THE OFFENSIVE, WHEREAS THE SOVIET TROOPS HAD STILL TO BE MOBILISED AND TO MOVE TO THE FRONTIER.
A fact, not without importance, was that Fascist Germany suddenly and perti- diously violated the Non-Aggression Pact between her and the Soviet without regard to the fact that she would be considered by the whole world as the aggressor.
ONE MIGHT ASK HOW COULD IT HAVE HAPPENED THAT THE SOVIET CONCLUDED A NON-AGGRESSION PACT WITH SUCH FELONS AND MONSTERS AS HITLER AND RIBBENTROP?
not
Had not the Soviet committed a mistake? Of course;
THE PACT OF NON-AGGRESSION WAS A PACT OF PEACE BETWEEN THE TWO COUNTRIES. IT WAS SUCH A PACT THAT GERMANY HAD OFFERED TO RUSSIA.
Could the Soviet reject such an offer?

GRESS OF THE GERMAN FORCES HAS SLACKENED CONSIDERABLY AND EVEN IN SOME PLACES, BALTED, It was learned in Military quarters here where the view was expressed this morning that "the German advance looks as if it is beginning to slow up".
While it appears that in certain areas the Germans are mopping up the Russians who have been left behind on the wrong side of the German armoured units without munikons or food, they are fighting extremely hard, stubbornly and wall.
