The newspaper Derniere Heure reported today that 80,000 members of the German labor corps had been shifted from the Belgian frontier after completing work on an extension of the Westwall fortifications. Stalins statement, issued by the official Tass news agency, was a denial of French reports that on August 19th he had expounded the idea that the war should last as long as possible so the belligerents would become exhausted. This report is a lie, Stalin said. I am certainly not in a position to know in which particular cafe Chantant (a cafe where political songs are improvised) the lie was fabricated. But however much the gentlemen of Havas (French) agency may lie they cannot deny that: It was not Germany who attacked France and England but France and England who attacked Germany, assuming responsibility for the present war. After the outbreak of hostilities Germany addressed France and England with peace proposals while the Soviet union openly supported Germanys peace proposals because it believed and continues to believe that the earliest termination of the war would fundamentally alleviate the position of all countries and nations. The ruling circles of England and France rudely declined both Germanys peace proposals and attempts of the Soviet Union to attain the earliest termination of the war. Such are the facts. What can the chantant politicians oppose to these facts?
