And no wonder, after the terrific slaughtering which has taken place in Northern Europe at the hands of the Ruthless Reds from Russia. Tt seems the whole trouble started with the treaty of 1920 after a horrible battle between the pure and idealistic whites and the equally patriotic and bloodier reds. But when purity proved triumphant over brawn, by the treaty, Russia, in the Red. treated the Whites to a penin sula on which the victors established the nation of Finland. Ever since then, the Reds have had chips on their shoulders. With the spiritual as well as ma terial nourishment of the German Reich (which is the only food abun dant in Germany) that the grudge against the aesthetic whites has broken through. The chief of Rus sia, Josef Stalin, has gotten big ideas of expansion from Herr Hit ler’s book entitled. Mein Kampf. The first stej) in changing the map was to stretch the green color of Russia over the insignificant coun tries, Latvia, Lithuania, and Eth- donia, and of course a little portion of the unfortunate Poland, a country bandied about between its neighbors and rich in musicians, scientists, and statesmen. Lenin, another Russian Red, had an estate called hy his name, which he promptly moved close to the western boundary in or der that Russia could attack, in the name of self-defense, her enemy, Finland, just twenty miles away. Finland being a country of very low temperature, and high percent age of lake area, the Reds at first found that victory was not easy to achieve. Whole troops were demol ished ; those soldiers not slain by the Finnish machine guns were frozen to death in the murderous cold. Though they had to hop from foot to foot and wiggle their toes to keep them warm, the rest of the world was on its toes too, for the situation was becoming hotter with increasing tension between whites and reds.
