Behind Stalin's Mask
What Will 'Uncle Joe Do With A-bomb?
Book Mirrors Mystery Man's Makeup
NEW YORK (NEA) What can
the world expect from Joseph 8 ta
lon now that Russia holds the atom
bomb? Is he likely to use It?
To find the answers to these
questions, we need to know the kind
of man be is. But no leader of cur
rent times Is more completely
masked In mystery than Stalin.
Nevertheless. . new effort to
pierce that mask has Just been
made. Isaac Deutscher. a Polish
born specialist in Russian affair
who writes for the British press,
has written a comprehensive blog-

raphy that Is being hailed as the
most penetrating yet most objective
study of Stalin attempted thus far.
What emerges Is not a clearly
etched portrait. Fundamentals of
his makeup remain hidden. But
there are some clues to his char
acter that may help the world
Judge what Stalin may do.
As Deutscher pictures the Rus
sian dictator:
He 1 above all a political boss,
a master strategist, shrewd, prac
tical, ruthless, unbending In spirit.
He Is no Intellectual firebrand, no
great theorist of the communist
revolution, as was Lemn.
Stalin Is a man ot Icy elf-
possesslou. In him Is none of the
linimMve, intuitive behavior ot
Hitler.
lint like many a lifted politician,
Stalin Is an oKutunit, He changes
the coure of his policy to fit the
circumstances of a time. He does
not function from a set master plan
in which all major details are de
termined In advance.
la other wards, what the rest ot
the world does strongly atfecta what
Stalin does. To millions who fear
he may already have decided upon
war. there may be hope In this
analysis if It is sound.
Mistake
Like all opportunlsta, Stalin has
made big mistakes and made them
often. At the start of World War
II he vastly overrated the strength
and quality of the French army. On
the other hand, he underrated til
striking power ot Hitler's nasi le
gions. He of course was not alone
in these particular errors.
It Is plain, too, that he genuinely
hoped to keep Russia out of Hie
war. He looked tor a long conflict
that might exhaust both side and
leave his country free ot Invasion.
Deutscher concludes It I Impos
sible to tell from the record
whether Stalin preferred hi 1939
part with Hitler to on he might
have made with the western Euro
pean power.
However that msy be, Stalin
strove hard to preserve hi frsgil
friendship with Oermny. He re
fused to believe the signs of the
coming nasi Invasion. Though ha
waa preparing for It. he did not
expect It when It occurred.
Strength
Once Into the war. Stalin mus
tered all his Indomitable will and
strength to save Russia and him
self. Say Deutscher: "He wss In
effect his own commander-in-chief,
his own quartermaster, his own
minister of supply, hi own foreign
minister."
He was no meddler in military
strategy like Hitler. He operated as
a calm, careful referee among his
generals, leaving them room for ex
periment and Independent Judg
ment, But he made all the big de
cisions. These organising and administra
tive talents were the traits that lift
ed Stalin to prominence In the com-

munlst parly ot revolutionary day.
Under Lenin, lis won ever higher
pott until at last h had control
ling power. Then he successful out
maneuvered hi party opponents
and gradually built himself to a pin
nacle where others could not reach
him.
The fruits of uuuridled power
came to a man who had begun life
aa a cobbler son In the southern
part ot KuMla called Oeorgla. He
waa aludying theology when first
touched with revolutionary fever.
Krom that lime forward, he was a
hard-driving underground agitator
for a socialist rebellion In reaction
ary Csarlsl Russia, llrfore the over
turn came he spent nearly 10 year
in prisons or In exile.
Colorless
Stalin, though long schooled ss a
party apokesman, has never risen
above the dull and colorless as a
public speaker and writer. No spell
binder, he has seemed to shrink
from public contact. Ilia soldiers In
lh field never saw him.
Always since gaining despotic
power he has preferred to remain
a sort of misty. Impersonal, "gray
eminence" standing in the Kremlin
surrounded by the familiar symbols
of his high station. Hi travels out
side Russia have been limited to a
few brief trips to nearby countries.
Stalin private llleT Plain and
austere. Deutscher say ne know
of only one personal letter ever
written by him. Though he twice
waa married, his passionate devo
tion to politics ruled out anything
like a normal home existence.
Not much to go on. all this, but
it 1 from such frail evidence that
the world's statesmen must try to
gauge Stalin and keep him from
using the great atomic secret he
haa learned.
