W
Andrei

Vishinsky,
speaking
last

warned
the

that
Russia
was
prepared
to
ward

DeGaulle,
Winston

and
James
Byrnes
with
Na
poleon
and
Hitler
who
had
also
tried
to
take
Moscow.
Vishinsky
said
he
had
observ
ed
a
"frenzied"
upsurge
of
opin
ion
favoring
war
with
Russia
and
that
United
States
policies
In
Germany
were,
apparently,
aimed
at
"preserving
remnants
of
fascism"
so
that
"Germany
will
be
directed
against
