Show Davies Says Russia Will Last "In Russia, I have the greatest con'fidti.eice, in its fighting s.renglh, its courage, its morale. I be.li.ve the . Russian armies will successfully resist the Nazis, Abetter or net Japan attacks this eiurnj.r.ier. This will mean the eventual over.lhrcc A" of Nazi pow-'er pow-'er in .ihe world." These are the words of Joseph E. Davies, who served as ambassador ambas-sador to the Sovie't Gowernirnenit lirom 1936 to 1938, and the author auth-or of "Mission 'to Moscow," one of the most popular books in the country today. It is somewhat remarkable tlha. Mr. Davies, an American capitalist, after an intimate acquaintance ac-quaintance with Russian, leaders and an opportunity to luinder-- luinder-- and Russia, should express eanfid'eieee in tlhe ability to 'with-.tej.ed, 'with-.tej.ed, if neceseary, "the combined com-bined forces of Germany and Japan." Mr. Davies, who is in much demand as a public speaker, says that Stalin's May Day speech was significant because "for the first ,ime" he did ir.iot "stress the peril Russia faces". Instead, the Russian leader sipoke "positively and aggressively of the taste of etiriving -.he Nazi invader from Russia." Mr. Davies points out that Japan, while successful in de-ceivieg de-ceivieg Ihe United States and Grea. Britain as to i.s potential mili ary poAer, was unable to receive toe Russian's. Moreover, he records the encouraging fact lhat Russia is r.ceiving "mag-'.eilficei.-t support" 'from England and from America and that we are delivering gcods 'to Russia "in the great quantities" iwhich we promised. |
