Kremlin Says
Charges U.S., France,
Britain Helped Hitler
By The Associated Press
MOSCOW, Feb. 9 - Russia
charged tonight that American
dollars and British and French
diplomacy paved the -way for
World War II.
An official Soviet statement
Ir said the Western Allies' dealings
with conquered Germany after
World War I gave Adolf Hitler the
armed strength and diplomatic se-
curity he needed to launch the
second world war.
The statement said "Hitlerite
aggression became possible first-
ly becauft the United States of
America helped the Germans es-
tablish, within a short period of
time after the (First World)
War, an economic base for Ger-
man aggression and secondly
because the rejection of collec-
tive security by ruling Anglo-
French circles dis anized the
anks of peace-loing coun-
tries."
These facts, Russia said, are
' contained in "important docu-
ments which were captured by
soviet troops during the smash-
up of Hitlerite Germany.
"Publication of these docu-
ments will help present the true
picture of how Hitler's aggression
and the second world war were in
reality prep i and developed,"
the statemnt , .
The statemen ,eas the Soviet
reply ta the U. S. State Depart-
ment's publication Jan. 21 of
2G0 documents captured from
the Nazis dealing with Russian-
German relations prior to
World War IT.
(The documents said Germany
and Russia agreed to partition Po-
land between them. They said fur-
ther that Russia backed Germany
heavily against the west and
agreed the west and agreed with
hitler that the United States, as
well as Great Britain, should be
shut oul of Europe, Asia and
Africa.)

world's indoor shot put record

Wolverine mile relay quartet of
Val Johnson, Joe Hayden, George
Shepherd and Herb Barten made
the national headlines with a
shattering performance of 3.21:1.

table basketball team stayed in the
thick of the Big Nine pennant race
by toppling Wisconsin (43-37) and
Illinois (66-57) on the road. The

meted out to Phi Delta Theta and
Delta Kappa Epsilon, while Sigma
Phi Epsilon, Trigon, Phi Gamma
Delta, Sigma Alpha Epsilon, Alpha
Tau Omega and Anderson House

rushing activities, according to the
letter received by the probationed
groups.

Price Drop Seen
"A substantial drop in prices is
due," Prof. Anderson said, "al-
though government policies sup-
porting agricultural prices will
partially check the fall, and pro-
vide a floor on food prices."
Prof. Anderson asserted that
the reason for last week's market
price tumble was the psycholog-
ical effect on businessmen of the
Federal Reserve Board's recent
tightening of credit regulations in
its New York and Chicago
branches, plus predictions of a
larger winter wheat crop than
previously estimated.
20 Percent Cutback
Largest cutback was 20 per cent
on smoked meats by one Amn Ar-
bor grocer. All agreed that the
drop would be more pronounced
when present inventories were
cleared and new stocks purchased.
They unanimously held out hope
for the housewife that more price
reductions wouldbe made in the
near future.
"But don't expect too much re-
lief at the retail level for quite
a while yet," Prof. Anderson
warned. He pointed out for ex-
ample, that a reduction in grain
prices passed through milling and
baking processes before it comes
to the grocer as bread. Possible
wage increases and the recent rise
in rail freight .rates .may reduce
the saving to the consumer, he
said.
