James A. Fulton (b. 1874) asks Is Russia Expansionist? Address at session [sic] of “the Round Table”, McKeesport, Pa and his answer is very much to his own liking: NO! No doubt self-published and then printed in 1947 Mr. Fulton asks his long-sentenced question in the first few pages and then answers it in the remaining text–his evidence is that Russia and its territories have “ups and downs” over the centuries, citing gains/losses in Turkey, Finland (somehow!), Poland (ditto!), Ukraine, and such. It is a difficult argument to read–not doubt Mr. Fulton had his sympathizers, though in 1947 I doubt that he had many. (The pamphlet is not “around”, and given everything going on in 1947 I don’t doubt its unpopularity–WorldCat/OCLC locates 3 copies.)
