ti. OEEGOrl 'STATESMAIC, Salem, Oregon, Eundgy Hornls?, June, 29, 1811 TAGS TWO. ' 4 Hitlers Propaganda Experts Get Hard Job of Proving to World Nazis' Intentions , By KIRKE L. SIMPSON " Special U The Statesman The great task Hitler assigned to nazi armies launched against Russia a week ago pales into insignificance beside that he simultaneously entrusted to Dr. Goebbels and. his nazi prop agandist specialists. Goebbel's experts were com manded to set about proving ov ernight to a stunned world that the two-year appearance , of the nazi lion and the communist lamb lying down together was mere camouflage. The lamb, the world Is now told, was the real objec tive of the lion all the time. That the Russian lamb hap pened to be a tempting iborsel. rich in inch Tital war juices as oil and train, is a mere hap " penstance in the Illtler-Von Ribbentrop - Goebbels white . book. It develops, as they state the case, that It wasn't a lamb at all with which they had so trustfully consorted, but wolf In sheep's clothing, sharpening Its fangs to est up the lion In due course. Seven days of furious red-nazi fighting on a front nearly 1500 ' miles long Have failed to disclose conclusively just what kind of a , fighting animal soviet Russia is. The Bear Is the favorite symbol for Russia and always has;been. It looks from this distance as though Hitler might yet find it was a Bear and neither a lamb nor a wolf he had by the tail. - This much is certainly true: Hitler is ungently seeking help now as never before from small continental neighbors as well as big. His personal appeal to Fin land to join up was, no doubt, backed with glowing promises of Finland restored and expanded at Russia's expense, once Russia was crushed. Berlin could have saveS Finland with a nod to Moscow in 1939-40. ' ' , Nasi agents picture Hitler In all Scandinavia as the white knight now turning his bloody pear aralnst the red dragon. All else that he has done Is to be forgotten and forgiven. Nazi-ruled Paris talks of French volunteer legions being enlisted against - Russia. There are even hints that an actual nazi nj-offer of alliance with England against Russia has been transmitted dip lomatically. If so; 'it. was a futile gesture. Nor is there yet warrant from Tokyo for the predictions made b In Rome that Japan will strike at the Siberian flank of the Russian bear as an. axis ally and to balk , American1 aid : for Russiai. The whole pattern and plan of the " axis' "new order" . has been changed overnight, for what oth er reason than desperation it is difficult to see. Leslie Pool Club Planned Under the direction of Swim ming Instructor Forbes Mack, formation of a Leslie Swimming Pool association will be discussed during a meeting to be held at the playground at 10 a. m.
