Why should they harm us?

Its correspondent Alexander Clifford makes some_pro- found comments which do not re- fer directly to Stalin’s interview. In a dispatch from Paris, Cliff- ord states, “You cannot travel across Europe and talk to ordinary people—as I have done a lot lately —without realising what a resound- ing psychological victory the Rus- sians have won in the past year. They have captured platforms of peace and social reform.
