Stalin Says
U.S. Leads
UN To War
MOSCOW, Feb. 16 —(P)—
Prime Minister Stalin said to
night the United Nations is
dooming itself to disintegration,
with the United States leading
it toward war. He declared Am
erican forces face defeat in Ko
rea unless Washington and Lon
don accept Communist China's
terms for a Far East settlement.
Stalin pictured the Korean
War as extremely unpopular
with. American soldiers, and said
this explained western defeats
there.
First Big Statement
The Soviet leader made these
statements in his' first major an
nouncement on international af
fairs since early 1949. He attack
ed as "shameful" th e U.N.
decision branding ' Communist
China an aggressor in Korea. The
U.N., he said, has become an or
ganization for Americans which
is being turned into "a means for
unleashing a new war."
`The United Nations organiza
tion is taking the inglorious road
of the. League of Nations," he
declared. 'ln this way it is bury
ing its moral prestige and doom
ing itself to disintegration."
War Not Inevitable
Stalin said a new world war
!at least at the.present time can
not be considered inevitable." At
the same time, he asserted war
may become inevitable "if the
warmongers succeed in entang
ling the masses of the people in
lies." As for the Soviet Union, he
said it will follow a policy of
averting war, and maintaining
peace.
The Prime Minister expressed
himself in a 2,000-word interview

Senators Attack
Stalin Slatemeni
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16—(P)--
Senators tonight labelled as
"propaganda" Prime Minister
Stalin's pronouncement that Rus
sia seeks peace and the West seeks
war.
At the State Department, top
officials began an immediate
study of the long Stalin interview
published in Pravada.
Initial reaction of authorities as
to why it came just now was cau
tious, but inclined to the theory
that Stalin intended primarily to
give a new lift to Russia's "peace"
offensive.
The purpose of this offensive,
according to officials here, is to
confuse and split the Western al
lies.
Senator Hickenlooper (R-la.), a
member of t-h e Senate Foreign
Relations committee, said the Sta
lin statement was "just the same
old Communist malarkey and
propaganda."
"If he really wants peace all
Stalin has to do is lift the iron
curtain and deal with other na
tions on a basis of peaceful inten
tions," Hickenlooper said.
