Churchill's Talk Dangerous Act, ~ Stalin Declares

Bluntly Hints Fulton, Mo., Speech Might “Cause Reds to Denounce LongTerm Anglo-Russ Treaty.

LONDON, March 13 (U. P.). — Generalissimo Stalin accused Winston Churchill today of delivering a semi-ultimatum to all nonEnglish speaking nations. He declared that the former British prime minister's attitude was incompatible with the Anglo-Russian treaty of alliance. ! Stalin’s blunt words, which hinted strongly thas he Sova Union

To the Churchillian charge that | the Communists were using “totali- | tarian” methods to enforce their system on eastern. Europe, Stalin retorted that the governments in the “new democracies’ along Russia’'s western borders were backed by four and six-party coalitions within those countries. Says Churchill Is ‘Funny’ He contrasted that with the oneparty (Laborite) government now running England, where, he said, “other parties are being deprived of a voice in the government.” “Mr. Churchill doesn’t see in what a funny position he puts himself,” he said. Mr, Stalin's pronouncement came on the heels of a British foreign office warning that the crisis with Russia over Iran has become “clearly: more grave.” A foreign office spokesman said British information on new Russian troop movements in Iran was similar to that on which the United States based its fresh protest to Moscow. Diplomatic observers believed the new demonstration of Soviet military force may prove a go-ahead signal for Soviet sympathizers to take over the Iran government. The British cabinet was expected to consider the situation at a meeting tomorrow. | The foreign office spokesman said he had .no information to indicate that a Big Three meeting might be called to handle the Iran crisis. He said there had been no new suggestion from Sacretary of State | James F. Byrnes for such a meeting in the near future. Some Washington reports have suggested that
