The article presents some political updates related to different parts of the world. The article says that if the intention of the sensational Pravda report which said that Great Britain's Prime Minister Winston Churchill would be swept out of power in a day if he were to attempt on the eve of victory what Chamberlain did not dare to do on the brink of defeat. This notification to Germany as well as to the Soviet Union is a net gain no matter what motive inspired the Pravda story. The article further says that the Soviet Union and Poland have a joint interest in checking once and for all Germany's aggressive urge to expand eastward. Both countries need a prolonged period of peace to recover from their wounds and to carry out the colossal tasks of reconstruction.
