Tikto ?ov also indulges in an attempt to identify current American policy, as esxe cisted by
the President with !itlerite Germ=y. A previous centary on the budget Message did the
same thing with reference to the c ent "soale of American war preparations,'' Tiktcrov,
takix a sinew t different tack, charges that "the preaching and spreading cf the Amerieau
way of life to all countries and all races is very reminiscent of Hitler's pz opaganh, rhieh
also urged the spreading of the fascist Now Order to the whole world, all cotntries and
peoples." The article concludes, however.. that the President's messages "will not shot
cannot deceive amy. Facts are stronger then Trn, and speak for themselves," it
another Soviet cc aentator predicts that the "capitalist" Congress, as much cf a "docile
tool of Wall Street" as is Ttujn~h himself, will back the program enunciated ty the president
in suppr>rt of the "monopolists i . , , plans far world dc& nation. "
