Union, The Soviet Union, in having such a plan, whatever
it does, it is its own business, wuld say, since you |
asked the question, that the Soviet Union, in my opinion, -
has had more of a logical justification for such a progran —
of universal military training because ever since its .
inception it has been the target of foreign imperialist
intervention, both in June, 191, attack by HITLER, the _—
