tPolish Consul Says

OTTAWA, Dec. 21 -- (CP)-—The Russian Army is a menace "only to the Kremlin Government." Vic- tor Podoski. Polish Consul Genera‘ to Canada, told the Canadian club here today.

There was a tendency in the pre- sent international situation to un- derestimate the strength of the German forces and to over-est‘- mate the Russians, the Polish diplomat declared. Soviet Russia is on the point of disintegration.

“There are only 3.000.000 meni- bers of the Communist Party which governs Russia, but Russia has a population oi 180.000.0011, WhiCiI means that one Ccnimtiiiist rules

Press Sees Nothing Glorious In Spec End

NEW YORK 11$. 22—(AP)—The New York Herald Tribune said ed-

itorially today the “abrupt and ig- ,

iiominious end" of the German pocket battleship Admiral Gist Spec will result in "a lot, of hard explaining {or Dr. Goebbels’ inven- tive propaganda machine." “There is not-hing heroic about scuttting ones ship when not even in the immediate presence of the enemy. and it seems hardly in the

German naval tradition." said the i

newspaper. “Twenty-five years ago the origiatial Admmil Count. Spec. with thc odds obviously and over- whelmingly against him. fought it but to the end. His namesake has preferred a fess ZIOTIOII-s end.

“Why the Germans made this epctaculnr admission of defeat is anything but clear. But there is no doubt about the completeness of the defeat."

"The Spec was first caught by the atlent tracking work of the Brit h navy; she was then run to earth by the dash and seamanship of theoretically weaker vessels. and finally driven to commit suicide by the prompt-ties: and efflcienty 0t £10 concentration brought against

er.

“It was a neat job. done with dispatch and finality. In any light. it reflects little cred t. on the vaunt- ed pocket battleship type; it does remain an impressive demonstrat- ion of the reality oi’ seapower and its long-i! often silent seem-reach when directed telliizence and inspired by a cour- age like that. which took the British cruisers into their seemingly un- equal fizht."
