RUSSIA Today, the Moscow newspapers used banner headlines to play up the Stalin message to the new puppet government 1n the Soviet zone of Germany. In this declaration, the Soviet Premier calls tor Ruasian~rman cooperation. and there's one phrase that'll make you blink. The Moscow dispatch says: "Foreign c01111entator1 called particular attention to Stalin'• atate■ent that Russia and Gennany bore the heaviest sacritioe1 in the war." Which, ot course, ts literally true. Stalin'• Russia and H1tler 1 s Genaany, t1ght1ng apinat each cller, g1d aur:er the greatest havoc or all. But it doe■ sound tranae to - hear the Soviets hail the war sacrifices made by the lazia. Propaganda, of course, but pretty weird propaganda. CHINA In Canton tonight they're waiting for the sounds of an air raid siren -- the signal that the defenders are safely out, and it is proper for the Communist Army ti march in. The Communist forces could have entered c ~ nton at any time today, but they halted - to give the Nationalist defenders an ample chance to get away. This 1s in accordance with Chinese custom for thousands of years. When a city has no chance of successful defense, the beisegera give the garrison an opportunity to escape. That saves lives on both sides -- which, no doubt, is the way Confucius would have wanted it. Seems quite sensible. Does . n' t it, Nelson? ----- So long everybody - and on Monday, from this studio, you'll be hearing again, the voice of Lowell 'l'homaa.
