The Russian people are. behind a hundred years in intelligence,! and know nothing of liberty, as we J USED to know and prize liberty. It' takes time to do much with such a1 people, and we must remember thlsi when we hear of Stalin "rubbing out" those who try to sabotage his plans to create some capital and some wealth for Russil.
