Their .home governments, 1 learn, have sent secret Inquiries to Moscow, asking what Russia's intentions are, As this is being written, there bas been etc reply, 'At least some of the diplomats here feat- a Russian in vu in the immediate future. (This move into Poland has since taken place.) My informants are, of course, un - disguisedly anti -Russian. Neverthe- less, their reasoning furnishes et co- herent explanation of why Josef Stalin agreed to the recent Remo - German treaty. For what value it may have, it is here briefly summar- ized. It is based almost wholly on the supposed military vulnerability of Leningrad. AS you will recall, Lenin- grad lies at the, end of the narrow Gulf of Finland, the north and eolith shores of which are held by the weak states of Finland and Estonia. Estonla runs to within less than a hundred miles of Leningrad, a half -boor's hop for a bomber. Russia's only other gateways to western Europe are three railways, all now dominated by Great Germany, and the Bosporus - Mediterranean route, controlled by Turkey and the British fleet, Once you accept this premise—that Leningrad at present would be diffi- cult to defend, and, additionally, that its temporary loss in war might en- danger Stalin's 001118stfc position -- the remainder of the argument fol- lows easily. As proof that Stalin him self has been immensely preoccupied with the protection of Leningrad, my informants point to the Russian gov- ernment's abrupt, unexplained an- nouncement, about two years ago, that it meant to have a great navy. You may recall that this was follow- ed by attempts to buy 40,000 -tan bat- tleships in the United States ---ships that were to be made in sections 111111 later fitted together in Russia. This almanncement, my informants say, constituted a turning -point. in Baltic diplomacy, It was taken to metra that, at the earliest opportunity, Russia meant ito challenge Ger'many's control of the Baltie Sea, But it meant more than that. Battleships floating on the Neva river at Leningrad would he merely ridiculous. To tight Gernetes in the Baltic, it would be necessary for ltussitt to possess control of the Gulf of 'Finland, and, in addition, free use of the port of Riga. It would glee mean that Estonia, Latvia and poee- rhly Finland must become Russian allies anal satellites. At the tilne of the tlueelee an, Uolncement, Nazi parties had attain- ed luxuriant growth within all the Baltic countries. Last spring, the Nazi Mattie fleet, with lfitler on the bridge oi' the foremost ship, sailed into a relrlciant Nazi pr'otector'ate, It was an object lesson for the reniaining Baltic states, and most of all for Russia. The speech of M. Molotov on the ratitication of the Russo -Cie -matt treaty, just at the outbreak of war, Mee been 11,1iutely studied by dipia- mate here. His two reasons, or ex cues, for not reachinganagreement with Britain and France have been received with a certain amount of contempt. The first --that the British negotiators, Messrs. Seeds and Strang, did not have plenary pokers —is called a shuffling of words to fool the innocent. Envoys almost never have plenary powers, strictly defined, except at full-dress confer- ences, such 40 the 19141 -Paris confer- ence. Messrs. Seeds and Strang had exactly the same powers, no less and no more, as Count von der Sehulen- berg. who negotiated the Russo - German treaty, and Herr Ribbentrop, who signed it, M. Litvinov, *hen he came to Washington in 3033 to nego- tiate the United States -Russian treaty, lacked plenary powers and had to cable his government continu- ously, but no one suspected him of double-dealing. M. Molotov's second excuse was that the British 001 not force their allies, the Poles, to agree to lest Rus• 01011 armies fight on 'Polish soil. It is readily admitted that this w00 the crucial 0181118110 in what probably wits, for sheerly geographical rea- Solis, an insoluble problem. M. Molo- tov's statement ie consldered disin- germons, for a small nation never wilfinl ly admits the troops of It great power to its territory. The Russians knew beforehand that Colonel Beek would seek to make terms with Hi: - ler before he would let Russian troops occupy Poland. Nevertheless—as • my informants agree' --unless; the Russians could de. fend Leningrad somewhere along the line cf the Vistula, the value of join- ing an Anglo-French alliance became extremely small.

As citizens of Baltic countries, my informants are obsess- ed with the fear that the Russo- German treaty hides an understand- ing that Estonia and Latvia have been apportioned to Moscow. The more im- aginative diplomats add that Russiia, will also be given the Polish Ukraine as an earnest that Hitler no longer supports the Ukrainian nationalists. Since the outbreak of war. there have been -repeated reports that, within a few months, the Russians will swing away from Germany to the Auglo-French side. These reports are taken by my informants as proof of their interpretation. The phrase, "within a few months," they say, means as soon as Stalin feels 11110801! master of the gulfs of Finland and Riga, and is confident of his ability 10 defend Leningrad. Whether the Russians will find it easy to dis- entangle themselves from the Nazi embrace, however, Is something that time will show.
