HITLER WANTS STALIN TO LAUNCH ATTACK IN EAST

By SEFTON DELMER

HITLER is trying to load foxy loc Stalin into a campaign of conquest in the Middle East against Turkey, Iran, Afghanistan and India, so that the Russian armios may create a diversion for a German push into south-eastern Europe,

He may have to push south-cast soon, as the Balkans are rapidly closing against him, refusing him necessary supplies, which may force him into making an attempt to get them 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.

Threat In East

Many reports are coming in speaking of Russian concentrations of troops on the border of Iran, Afghanistan, and Eastern Turkey.
