Moscow's Blunt Dictator

Moscow, Feb. 14.

M. Josef Stalin, Russia's undisputed dictator, broke his long silence to-day with an important statement in the official newspaper Pravda, discussing the position of the Soviet Union both internally and in relation to other countries.

Stalin asserts that internally the bourgeoisie has been crushed and

а socialist state established. Externally, the Soviet Union is still in danger of armed attack by capitalist countries and he urges that the international proletariat must. be linked up with the Soviet people and that connections with the working classes of bourgeois countries be strengthened. They should be so organised; he says, as to give political assistance to Russia in the event of an armed attack upon

the Soviet Union.

The Red Army and Air Force must be strengthened, Stalin goes on, und the whole people must be kept in a armed mobilisation for state of attack.

How to know

GOOD WHISKY

when you taste it

-by Johnnie Walker

Next time you order a whisky, sip a little before you add the soda. Of course you must allow

for it tasting stronger, but be- cause you are tasting it by itself your palate can more easily tell the difference between a really good whisky and one that is not quite so good. You will notice a certain roughness in poor whiskies. But in a really good whisky like Johnnie Walker you will find a " roundness that mellows and

down tones

the fine spirit. Observe, too, in Johnnie Walker that faint pratiness of taste which is one of the greatest charms of Highland whisky one of the reasons why you should always ask for Johnnie Walker by name.
