Such a move would effectively, block any further Axis expansion eastward. Says War Will Spread RUSSIA: An address on Russia's foreign policy last week by Soviot Premier and Foreign Minister Mdo- {ov cleared up a number of mysti- fying points. After predicting that the present war would spread to in- olude the whole world (with the _U. 8. on Britain's side), he told the Supreme Soviet that the "Soviet Union must enhance -ts vigilance in the matter of ite external secur ity, and In the matter of strength- ening all its positions, both at home and abroad." Behind his exposition of policy could be seen the fear that the "imperialist" (anti-social. ism) war would be turned against the Soviet Union, Generally suspicious of Great Britain, Premier Molotov neverthe- less said that London had shown a desire to improve her understand-. ing with Moscow by the appoint- ment of Sir Stafford Cripps as am- baseador to the Boviet. With regard to Germany, relations with whom he declared had improved, he ex- preesed 'the opinion that the Reich had failed in its objective -- to bring the war to a close on terms =which it considered desirable.

At the same time moved to extend further control over Indo-China, Chinese troops of tho Central Government were re- ported to be marching toward the frontier of Indo-China. A Japanese thrust through from the Indo-China coast would directly monaco the southwestern provinces of China, Chiang-Kai-Shek's main stronghold. "Two Opinions - UNITED STATES: The split in U.S. opinion over the policy to be followed toward the war in Europe was thrown Into bold outline last week by two widely divergent speeches by prominent Americans, the ono (General Pershing) urging fmmedlate and strong aid for Great Britain, the other (Colonel Lind- bergh) calling for an peace effort and preparations to live with a victorious Germany.

A BATTLE SONG EMERGES It was while the French armies were assembling on the Rhine in Apri), 1792, to meet the forces of Austria, says a letter to The Times, of London, that de Lisle wrote his' song, 'which was first printed under the,title of "Chant de 'Guerre de PArmée du Rhin." Not until a few weeks later did a party of volunteers from Mar- seilles marching on their way to Parle sing the song, 'and give to it name and fame, As' Gulliver's Travels began' as a political satire, and became an entertainment for children, the "Marseillaise" started as a Roy- alist hymn, and developed into the battle-song of the Republic. To- day the Republie itself is under- going strange and sad vicissitudes, from which it is the confident hope of all democrats that it will emerge as triumphantly as the "Marseillaise."
