the same thing has heen visible. For
ten years at least, tin* German papers
have been filled with stories describ-
ing the bestial ami blood-thirsty de-
pravity of the Russians. And the Rus-
sian press has abused the German
Fa s< ists in almost the same terms.
After ten years of this, the head
men of the two countries get togeth-
er in a deal. The official Pravada in
Russia congratulates the people that
the obstacles which the nasty old
democratic colntries had been inter-
posing between them ami (iermany
