Twenty years in Siberia taught Joseph Stalin. how to wait. He is still waiting, Walting is a cardinal principle of Soviet diplomacy. Stalin's conviction, many foreign diplomats in Mos- cow belleve, is that if he waits long enough Great Britain and Germany will knock each other out and the United States will fight an exhausting war with Japan.

By that time it no longer will be necessary for Russia to walt. Her army will be the strongest in the world, the Red flest will be vastly superior to the present Red flect, and the Soviet air force will be supreme. Compotent observers in the Russian capital believe that is Stalin's vision of the future. They base their belief, however, purely on the current tread of

ous weakness in the event of a major war.

Citrine's Warning

BRITAIN'S arms production has not yet caught up with Ger- many's, declared Sir Walter Citrine, general secretary of the Trades Union Congress, at Cleve- |land, Ohio, recently,

For Stalin is the world's No. 1 enigma, at home as well as abroad.

Observers' Opinions

During a two-month swing through European capitals before coming home on furlough, I spent some time

in Moscow. I found that most for- eign observers there believe: -

1. Russia will continue to play along with Germany, giving as little! as possible and making any conces- sions appear large.

2. Russia has given Germany a more or less free hand in the Bal- kans, in return for a free hand for

Russia in Use Baltic,

3. Russia has substituted power polities, backed by military might, for propaganda as a means to the tradi- tional Red goal of world revolution. There appears to be little doubt that Russia always considered Germany her most dangerous potential enemy. One German officin in Moscow

told me:

"In the Kremlin they keep a huge scoreboard. Every time it is on- nounced that nine British planes have been shot down and seven German planes destroyed, they mark up on the board, 'Sixteen for us.'"

It has a vast air force and many air lines. Mass parachute competitions and de- monstrations have made the people familiar with the sight of planes.

Flying Peasants

I dew from Riga to Moscow. At Velikije Luki, midway between the two cities, seven peasants boarded the plane. Three had flown before but only one had ever been on a train.

At the Velikije Luki airport I counted 67 large four-engined metal bombers guarded by soldiers.

Lack of adequate rail'transporto- tion facilities, however, may be re- sponsible to some extent for the real shortage of consumer goods that exists in Russia. It would be a scri-.
