Tho Russians report they aro driving the Germans heforo then* everywhere on tho Moscow front and that oiiu victory after another Is theirs. Hitler coinos forth with tho declaration that he has tho lteds on the run and that It won't bo long now until their complete downfall will bo a reality. While this country's sympathy and support Is for Russia, how are the American people to know what to believe. Adolf Hitler has proved himself the biggest liar and double-crosser In our day. Stalin, likewise, Is one of the bloodiest, most cruel, troucherous tyrants and anti-religionists the world has ever produced. Ills fingers drip with the blood of more of his own countrymen than any other murderous despot. Such Is the calibre of the two men, neither of whom we would trust. Clinton Chronicle.
