...attack was that smart Joseph Stalin had outsmarted himself. Russia, whose pact with Germany enabled Hitler to start the war, now felt the full fury of the war. Adolf Hitler's proclamation was full of accusation of Russian double-dealing and Russia's Foreign Commissar Viacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov retorted in kind. The accusations were unimportant. In the charges of neither side was there even a tone of surprise. They had never trusted each other. In the timetable of German-Russian relations since the Non-Aggression Pact of August 1939 (see col. 3) could be read the progressive failure...
...Stalin is worshiped as a god.* Joseph Stalin must therefore have felt justified last week in giving himself the dual job that only sainted Nikolai Lenin has held. He suddenly promoted himself to the Premiership, the Presidency of the Council of Commissars, leaving the former Premier, glum, encyclopedic Viacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, with the titles of Vice Premier and Foreign Minister...

To another face...
...little yes-men of Europe's little boss men scurried from place to place last week. If the lives of millions of little plain men had not depended on what they did, their actions would have looked a little silly. Joseph Stalin's man, Viacheslav Mikhailovich Molotov, arrived in Berlin in the rain and was greeted by Adolf Hitler's men, Joachim von Ribbentrop and Wilhelm Keitel. At Anhalt station were also the Ambassadors of China, Turkey and Japan, bowing & scraping and watching Premier Molotov's every gesture for a hint of what Boss Stalin...
