In
a
12-minute
radio
addicss
today
marking
the
twenty-seventh
anniversary
of
the
revolution,
Marshal
Joseph
Stalin
declared
"Germany
is
on
the
verge
of
catastrophe."
The
Red
Army
and
its
Allies
were
faced
with
the
final
task
leading
to
the
raising
of
Allied
banners
over
Berlin.
The
main
Tact
of
the
past
tear
had
been
that
the
Red
Army
had
no
longer
fought
alone
but
with
AJIies
side
by
side.
Stalin
declared
that
a
firm
peace
was
not
yet
secure.
Maintenance
of
the
alliance
between
United
States,
Great
Biltain
and
Russia
was
vital
to
all.
To
maintain
peace
after
the
war,
Stalin
advocated
an
international
organization
which
could
use
force
If
necessary.
