ing in Libya and even the recur-
current peace talk.
Hitler's intensiflcation OF the
drive against Moscow and in the
Caucasus, his preparation for a
new battle for the Mediterranean,
both via Spain and North Africa,
his intense activities in Libya,
are made as much for political
as for military reasons, and they
are as much directed at WASH
ington and Toxic as at the i'm
mediate military objectives. For
the hope that he possibly enter

forces is not granted him. He
can not afford it. He is late in
his schedule; he knows now
that the war will be long one.
and he must Immediately
strengthen his ties to his allies
by military successes, cost what
they may.
Japan Loses Either Way.
In all this. Japan's position is
the least enviable. For Japan,
having started on campaign of
conquest for which she was neith-
er politically nor economically
strong enough, either must enter
the world war, or get out of it
altogether, and in either case
she stands to lose the worst OF
any one. For if she refuses the
American offer she will be the
first 20 receive the impact OF
American Intervention. She will,
thereby, perform an immense
service to Hitler at immense cost
to herself.
The gains for the Axis from
such intervention will be made
in Africa, not in the Pacific. Hit
Ter knows that If Japan enters
the war, Japan is lost. But by
Japan's altruistic ra-kiri,
American material will be de-
flected to the Far East, rather
than to Russia and Britain, and
that is all Hitler wants.
Japan, of course. would like
Hitler to win the war for Japan
AS Mussolini hoped he would
win it for Italy. Japan would
like to wait, choosing exactly the
most favorable moment to come
in. Hitler, on the other hand,
wants Japan to win the war for
him-at the cost of her own de-
feat. That is what Germany
means by an alliance. The
United States wants peace with
Japan, and the concentration of
all energies against Hitler.
This would be on all counts
the best course for Japan to fol-
low. Through it she could win
peace in the Pacific, the economic
collaboration of the United States
now and after the war, and neu-
trality in the gigantic struggle
in which, if she enters it, she
will be the weakest Axis partici-
pant ranged against the strong
est anti-Axis power.
Loses More BY War.
But Japan has gotten herself
into a position in which she sim
ply can't win. She will lose on
any count. She will lose inf
nitely more by war than by
peace. She will lose no matter |

LONDON. May During the
"phony war" period-that area OF
blissful complaisance between Sep
tember. 1889. and the terrible on
slaught against the low countries
the following spring-there was
much wishful thinking that the
war could be won without waging
war.
Many and weird were the
pontifical proclamations, in high
circles at times. that internal dis
sension in Germany and Italy plus
the discomfort of shrunken stom-
achs would force Hitler and
Mussolini to end an unpopular
adventure.
All that is gone England
finally knows better now. And
not merely the England Of the
foreign office or the England rep
resented by brass-hatted generals.
The navy in the street, the chem
list, the chambermaid. the man
who owns a textile mill in Lanca-
shire and the man who weaves
therein all these are healthilyI
cynical toward suggestionS that
the war can be won except by the
spending of blood and treasure on
the actual battlefield. |

While running for the first place one
does not admit that the second place

short time.
AS was true in regard to the re-
peal Of the Arms Embargo, and the
Selective Training and Service Act,
and in fact the whole defense
program, deliberate effort is being
made to deceive the American people
concerning the nature and conse-
quence of these measures.
1t is being claimed that this meas
ure sets up dictatorship in the
United States because it confers
upon the Chief Executive the power
to manufacture and to distribute
these defense weapons 10 nations
whose defense he may regard as
vital to our own defense. The
charge of dictatorship is the one
which is usually made by those who
seek to frighten the people or to
offer some spurious argument in
the lack of arguments grounded in
reason and in logic. So insistent
has this charge of dictator become
that we might be justified in be-
lieving that some of those who urge
it would prefer that our liberties
be permanently surrendered at the
behest of a foreign dictator than
to surrender temporarily to the
Chief Executive the power to exercise
authority in the face of a great
emergency.
Has Right to Confer Powers.
Upon what other shoulders can
Congress place the. responsibility of
acting in this emergency? We can
not hold town meeting every time
England or Greece or China may
need an airplane or tank. We
cannot pass a separate act of Con-
greSS every time round of ammu-
milton is to be sent to them. Con-
greSS has the right to confer this
authority upon the man, who, under
the Constitution. is made the COM
mander in chief of the Army and
Navy and he alone can exercise that
authority with dispatch and effec-
tiveness, born of the necessity from
day to day.
1t is being urged against this
measure that it will lead us into
war; that it is a violation of inter-
national law; that the exercise of
the authority under it will be an act
of war which will lead us inevitably
into this European conflict. I have
no right to doubt the sincerity of
many of those who take this view
and I do not intend to impugne their
motives, although I have a right to
question their judgment and their
soundneSs as prophets of the future

In Midwest
Seen Halted
Swing to Roosevelt
Claimed by Chicago o
New Deal Leaders | BY JAY FRANKLIN. | In the last few days. the Willkie
trend in the Midwest seems to have
been checked, while Roosevelts
strength is growing, according to,
reports to New Deal leaders in
Chicago.
A single evening saw a sharp set
back to the Willkie-Lewis drive to
link the c. I. o. with big business
in an "unholy alliance" which is
being compared by some TO the
Hitler-Stalin pact Of August, 1899.
On that night, there was a big labor
meeting for Mayor La Guardia at
the West Side Stadium, where
10000 Chicagoans were packed in
and an additional $4,000 crowded
outside the doors. A week before,
bare 1000 had turned out to hear
Dan Tobin and Secretary Ickes.
At this meeting, the crowd
cheered as labor leader after labor
leader-Whitney of the railway
brotherhoods. Thomas of the United
Automobile Workers &C. I. o., and
representatives Of the A. F. of L.
Joined in support of President
Roosevelt and labor unity. Mayor
La Guardia brought the house down
with a rough-and-tumble attack on
Wendell Willkie. Melvyn Douglas
of Hollywood also spoke effectively,
and the net effect was TO step up
the morale Of the Democratic forces.
Kennedy's Speech Effective.
The same evening, Ambassador
Kennedy broke the hearts of the
pro-Willkie faction in this region
by his announced support of Mr..
Roosevelt, when the buildup had
led them to hope Mr. Kennedy
would take a walk. The Kennedy
speech was particularly effective in
Irish-Catholic circles and among
those business groups where the
Ambassador is regarded as one Of
the shreWdest oportunists in Ameri-
can history. If Joe Kennedy comes
out right down the line for F. D. R.,
they interpret it as meaning that
he figures that Roosevelt will win,
that England will win, and that
the axis, at home and abroad, is
on the way out.
Dorothy Thompson's broadcast,
taking John L. Lewis to pieces on
his 'unholy alliance" was described
as "the most effective speech of the
campaign" by man with 40 years
experience in Illinois politics. The
bank at Englewood, Ill, which was
used as an illustration Of unfair Re-
publican campaign tactics by Mayor
La Guardia, found itself facing
angry depositors the following day.
The steel workers and the packing
house workers in this region have
refused to follow the Lewis lead and
now are turning out the leaders who
did "Me-too" to the Willkie tie-up.
New Deal Seen on Upgrade.
Every speech by Mr.. Roosevelt in
creases morale and is winning votes,
and the Democratic organization is
cruising through the Loop with
the Republican Navy"-a dinghy
manned by Martin, Barton and Fish.
For the first time since the Juror
over Elliott Roosevelt's captaincy,
Democratic and New Deal sentiment
has hit the upgrade. Current polls
of newspaper opinion are said to
miss much of the latent Roosevelt
strength, because the full-time fac
tory employment-With many mills
running on a 24-hour basis-keeps
the workers of the streets, while
employer coercion makes many
workers reluctant to advise can
vassers as to the true state Of their
sentiments.
One man recently was fired from
a large oil company here after he
had refused to wear a Willkie but
ton. Down-State and farm senti-
ment seems pretty evenly divided,
which means that the Chicago vote
should carry the State.
This new wave of Roosevelt
enthusiasm is spreading from Chi
cago and affecting all of this indus
trial AREAS far West as Min
neapolis, up into Wisconsin and
Michigan, and far over into Indiana
and Ohio. Until this development,
Wisconsin was regarded as lost to
the Republicans, with Michigan.
Ohio and Indiana a $3.50 chance
and Illinois too close for comfort.
If the events of the last "A hours
are any indication. this decisive area
in national politics will be found in
the Roosevelt column on Noven-
Der 5.
incidentally, the fact that the first
man called for the draft in Chicago
was Chinese has tremendously
eased the tension over the drawing
of numbers at Washington.

United Press Staff Correspondent | PARIS, Nov. IL. (UP),-Ger-
many's demand for return of pre-
war colonies is deemed of greater
concern to France from a politi-
cal and military viewpoint than
economically.
When the World war ended and
the victorious Allies split up Ger
many's overseas empire of more
than a million square miles,
France did not reap any out
standing economic gains. 1t got
! two-thirds of Togolahd (the only
German pre-war colony which paid
its own way) and about four
tifths of the Cameroons.
As German West African pos
sessions, the Cameroons had
about $4,000 square miles area
and Togoland $4,000 square
miles. If the Third Reich regain
ed al lor part of these areas,
Fuehrer Adolf Hitler would have
a foothold in Africa on which ne
might develop important subma-
rine and aviation bases that would
worry both Britain and France
and would be less than 5000
miles from South America.
From practical standpoint,
Frances colonial wealth lies in
colonies other than those taken
from Germany. Morocco, Tunisia,
Algeria, Indo-China and New Cal
edonia provide mineral and agri-
cultural wealth and furnish mar
kets for many millions of dollars
worth Of French industrial ex-
ports annually.
The former German colonies
now held by France under League
of Nations mandate, their back
ground and Importance arc shown
in the following: g.. ..
CAMEROONS ...h
French and English forces cap
tured CAMERON from the Ger
mans in 1915 and, after the peace
treaty, they divided the territory.
France took 154,444 square miles,
including an area which had been
ceded to Germany by France in
1911 from the French Congo in
settlement of Germany's recogni-
ton of Frances grab of territory
in. Morocco.
The, Cameroons would provide
a foothald for Germany on the
West African coast. They extend
inland to Lake Tchad, in the heart
of the continent and at the seuIce
of water supply for much of the
interior. In this connection, Pre-
mier Renito,. ,Mussolini has been
seeking further cession : of
French Sahara to Italy to extend
the southern borders of Libya to
Lake Tchad.
If the aims of the Nazi-Fascist
powers in this direction were real
lied, they would have a strip
through the heart of Africa ex-
tending northWard to Libya, thru
Italy and Germany right to the
North Sea. Even if the Mediter-
ranean sea were corked up at
both ends in event of an emer-
gency, the German-Italian combi-
nation would have an overland
outlet to the Atlantic ocean.
France, while expecting a solu-
ton of the German colonial de-
mands, does not expect any such
settlement as that to be made, al
though. part of the Cameroons
eventually may be returned to the
Reich. There are two seaports,

ALLENTOWN, Pa, May 30
House Speaker Sam Rayburn de-
clared tonight that there seemed te
be "a studied effort to destroy the
faith and confidence Of the Ameri-
can people" in Congress. He spoke
at the bi-centennial celebration al
Muhlenberg College Of the landing
in this country of Henry Melchiel
Muhlenberg.
The Speaker said that Mullen.
berg, organizer of the Lutheran
Church in America, headed a fam.
lily which had given many distin-
guished sons and daughters to the
country. Among them was Fred
erick Augustus Muhlenberg, first
Speaker of the House of Represen-
tatives. Mr.. Rayburn praised his
services to the House and to the
country.
Even back in those days when
Mr.. Muhlenberg was the first
Speaker" said Speaker Rayburn
"he and the members of the House
were attacked just as they are to-
day. In every great crisis in any
nations history, the men who are
doing the worlds great work are
attacked. The members of Con-
gress are today under attack.
Congress Has Done Duty.
"The present Congress cannot run
this war, but is has done its duty
It has given the administration
every law and every dollar it ha!
asked for to prepare the country
for defense.
Some people, wanting to attack
some group in Congress for a vote
they have cast, seem to think they
must attack the body as whole
But a majority of the members OF
the Senate and House constitute the
Congress and when this majority
acts, it's actions are law when the
Presidents signature is attached.
"A great many people cry out
against relationships. There has
never been a dictatorship built up
in any land until the faith and con-
fidence of the people have been
destroyed in the legislative branch
itself had been destroyed. Take the
history of the world from the Cae-
sars to now, and you will find this
to be true.
Hitler did this first in his own
land, and then in the conquered
countries of Europe by propagan-
dists, and unfortunately quite a few
commentators, and speakers and
writers, without thought of the con-
sequences and without knowledge
of what is being done, are carrying
on or spreading this propaganda.
Says Job Is Being Done.
"Just few months ago you heard
such propaganda as this: That
nothing was being done by Con-
gress or the administration; that
the industries were lying down on
the job: that labor was not doing
its part
Speaker Rayburn gave these re-
ports the lie. declaring that Gov
6TI1Il6IlU Ill dll lCS QCpdl tlllCliOo, Ill
dustry and labor are doing "a great
job"
Hitler, in "Mein Kampf," Speaker
Rayburn said, had suggested that If
it is desired to spread disunion in a
country or a people, all that is
necessary is Ito tell big enough
lie" and to tell it often. He indi-
Gated that is what is being tried out
by the propagandists in this country
today.
Speaker Rayburn told his audi
ence that this country would have
the best equipped soldiers that ever
went to war in any age"
1--WE are going to have the great
est Army and Navy that were ever
assembled under the son." he con-
tinued. |

"Hitler said he had scraped to-

it failed the war was lost. But it
could not fail. Gen. Manteuffel
would take Antwerp. Gen. Dietrich
would take Liege. We would neatly
bag Montgomery's 21st Army Group

The diplomatic sensation sprung
In Moscow eleven days ago has been
intensified by the overturn in Italy
which occurred four days later. 1t
was on Wednesday, July 81, that
Pravda, the official organ of the
Russian Communist party. gave a
full-page spread to manifesto by
an organization styling itself the
Free German National Committee,
warning its compatriots that the war
was lost for them, that prolonged re-
sistance would spell the doom of Ger
many and that the only way to avert
that fate was to rise in revolt, over
throw Hitler and set up a revolu-
tionary regime. By such action, de-
clared the manifesto, the German
people would win the right to
decide their fate themselves. In this
manner it will attain peace and once
again place Germany on an equal
footing with other nations" The
manifesto was signed by a list of
names ranging from obscure war
prisoners to German Communist
leaders who fed to Russia when Hit
Ter came to power decade ago, the
most prominent being Wilhelm PECK,
former Communist party whip in the
Reichstag and subsequently secre-
tary of the Comintern until its dis
solution two months ago.
Although the Moscow authorities
pointed out to resident foreign cor
respondents that the Soviet govern
ment was not committed to, the pro-
gram outlined In the manifesto of
committee which had not been Of
ficially recognized, the event has
been generally interpreted abroad as
bearing Soviet approval and probably
Soviet inspiration. Pravda is unqueS-
tionably the mouthpiece of the Rus
sian Communist party and It's head,
Joseph Stain 1t is unlikely that such
a document would appear in Pravda
without Mr.. Stalin's appreciation.
Furthermore, the manifesto was re-
published in the Russian press gen.
orally, was broadcast repeatedly over
the Russian radio and was dropped in
leaf1et form by Soviet Army flyers
over the German lines on the eastern
front. The conclusion seems ines
capable that this official publicity
buildup denotes a well-conSidered
move in Russian foreign policy
Now this move was made suddenly,
and, as far as known, with no pre-
vious notice to Soviet Russia's Allies
and associates This is what invests
it with disquieting significance. Fur
thermore, it should be evaluated
against a background of consist
emily independent diplomatic atti-
tude. Stain has never formally
associated himself with the "uncon-
ditional surrender formula laid
down last winter at Casablanca by
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
ister Churchill, has avoided joint
conferences with them and has more
than once evinced standpoint
similar to that in the recent mani
festo, notably in a pronouncement
on November 7 of last year, when
Stain stated that Russia was not
aiming at the destruction of the
German nation or even the German
Army, but merely at the destruction
of Hitler and the Nazi regime. From
all this, the logical inference is that
a revolutionary overturn in Germany
might expect a more benevolent
attitude from Moscow than from
London or Washington.
The matter acquires heightened
significance from what is happening
in Italy. At a moment when the
Axis is shattered and the satellite or
occupied countries are seething with
diSaffection, multitudes of Germans
must see in the possibility Of
softer" peace on the terms described
in Pravda and previously indicated
by Stain himself the best way out
of an increasingly hopeless situa-
ton. Indeed. current advices from
Sweden describe revolutionary stir
rings in Berlin itself, significantly
started by italian workingmen there,
who form part of vast Italian labor
force scattered throughout the Reich.
Obviously, we stand on the thresh-
old of tremendous events. There is
a distinct likelihood that not merely
Italy but also Germany and the rest
Of sdominated Europe may flare
into radical revolution which will
look toward Moscow rather than to-
ward London or Washington. And
there is apparently no present un-
derstanding between the three capi-
tails as to how such an eventuality
would be handled. |

Simpsons headquarters an- nounced that his tanks and infan- try rolled up substantial gains today in the payoff sweep toward the Rhine. Behind the big guns loosed shattering barrage on vital indus trial targets beyond the Rhine.

After seven days of advances through the toughest belt of Ger many's western defenses, clements of the U. S. 83rd Division reached the Rhine and their big guns were laundering across the river into the industrial strongholds of Hitler's reich.
Thousands of Allied wArplanes drummed overhead to rake the rec treating Germans, led by fleet cf more than 1000 RAF heavy bomb- CTS that struck at Cologne.
Field dispatches said the shat- tered remnants of the German 18th Army were fleeing back across the Rhine by ferry, barge and bridge through Allied bombs and shells, with American tanks and infantry men pounding in at their heels.
Vangaurds of the 83rd Division already were battling through the streets of the Rhine crossing city of Neuss, i-2 miles west of Duess seldorf.

First accounts indicated other ele. ments of the 83rd by-passed Neuss to the south and broke through to the Rhine bank in an apparent bid to capture the big bridges linking NeuSs to Dusseldorf.
There was no immediate indicaa ton whether the retreating Ger. mans had had time to blow up the Dusseldorf spans.
German reports indicated the British Second Army had joined in the Rhineland offensive, attacking around the norrhren flank of the U. s. Ninth Army in the Venlo sec- tor.
At least nine American divisions were on the move for the Rhine or the Ninth Army front at pace that promised to shove the Germans over the river before the close of the week end.
The sweeping hook into the Kre.. field area represented a gain of about 16 miles for the Second Arr mored division from its last reported position below Grevenbroich on the highway north of Juellch.

Hitler, Poland or Britain Must Back Down-Events Move Toward Climax-Showdown for Europe

London, Aug. 23.-CUP).--A su- preme European crisis approached today. The alternatives were big backdown by Hitler, by Poland or by Britain, or war
Events were moving toward cll- max with irresistible momentum.
It was most likely that the show down would c le before this week. end. It seemed today that the ques- tion of a general European war de- pended primarily upon two things:
1. The nature and extent of Hit ler's move against Poland.
2. Whether Poland, knowing that neither Great Britain nor France could render her effective military aid, would nevertheless decide to fight if Germany attacked. Crush Poland Quickly
It was learned that the German general staff estimated that it could completely crush Poland within two ol three eeks by simultaneous thrusts from the south through Slo- vakia, from the southwest through ! Silesia, and from the west from Pomerania.
If the words and the grim tenn per of the British people mean any thing Britain will fight if Poland resistS on a We scale.
Officials her said they have req son to believ2 that Hitler's plan is to seize pre-War territory from Poland, perhaps preceding the ceiz- ure with an ultimatGm. Ii Poland resists, he would attempt to crust her compleve'v by military force as rapidly as pc oible.
Then, even though Britain ano France had started to war, he would 1 turn to the and offer immediate peace, it was believed,
Strategy of Hitler
Hitler's strategy is based on the belief that After a lightning "ac- complished fact" neither Britain nol France would wish to continue the war. Hitler would disregard sucf damage as Britain and France coulc irflict, which probably would bt comparatively little within a few weeks. |

aroused by activities of potential Fifth Columnists.
Perhaps the most famous spy ! thriller cracked by a tip from a civilian was the famo $ Duquesne espionage case in which B NaZi agents were apprehended and con- victed. For some time during the investigation, the FBI sought to identify one Heinrich who was furnishing to Lily Stein, fellow spy, information on U. s. aircraft production.
HEINRICH" NABBED
It was an observant Connecticut photographer who supplied the missing clew. Noticing that one Edmund c. Heine had placed an unusually large order for photo graphs, and had asked many ques- tions about the area. the photog- rapher passed on his information to the FBI. With this clew, the G. men clamped down on Heine and were able to identify him as the mysterious Heinrich. His sentence was IS years plus fine of 5000.
Ernest Frederick Lehm1rz and Erwin Harry De Spretter, the two Staten Island spies convicted last summer, were both tipped off to the FBI by civilian reports. Lehmitz came to the United States in March 1941, aboard the Siboney. On the voyage across, his actions had aroused the suspicious of an alert fellow Reporting his sus- picions to the FBI, he set in motion a long and painstaking investiga- tion which finally resulted in the apprehension of NaI spy who had been trained in Germany in the preparation of secret writing and schooled in the type of information valuable to the German high con- mand
De Spretter had the FBI put on his trail from simple report from a civilian that the man was strongly pro-NaI in his sympathies, indicating for the first time that he might be engaged in activities 1n- imical to the national security. It was more than a year later, how ever, before the G-men were able to check his record and gather the evidence that led to his conviction. Both Lehmitz and De Spretter were sentenced to 30 years.
COLOMBIAN NAZI
It was New Workers tip that helped clinch the case against Ro- berto Lanas Vallencilla, a Colum- bian employed in the offices of the Coordinator of Inter-American Af- fairs in Washington. Lanas Val lencilla recently confessed to com- munications with the NaziS, after his arrest by the FBI. Months be- fore New Yorker had reported to the FBI that LanaS Vallencilla had asked a woman acquaintance to work flor the cause" and had of fered $450 month for her services. This one scrap of information was an important contribution to the CfAOCAACC W14CA tIIC ro4 1ldU d1- ready accumulated, and it aided materially in his conviction.
Rounding up of the Detroit spy ring of eight principals last fall had its beginning in San Francisco be- fore the war when a German ex- army captain named Gugula Roz- inek aroused the suspicious of fel- low-employes in a chemical works by his pro- Nazi views. He had pro- claimed, Hitler is not only my Fuehrer, but my God" A loyal American reported the incident to the FBI. and the investigation be- gan.
Rozinek was found to be the hus- band of well-known lecturer on Hungarian folklore, Sari de Hajek, whose lecture tours were really a blind for gathering information on Americas defense effort. It was Sari de Hajek who recruited Grace Buchanan-Dineen, the Canadian born woman who was center of the ring, and was trained for her work in Budapest and Berlin. |

strategic, economic and political
aspects Of the war have joined in
clear cut and well-reasoned response
to those persons who, like Charles A.
Lindbergh, believe that Great Brit
ain Is doomed to defeat, even II
American aid becomes effective.
These seasoned observers, including
such men as Admirals William v.
Pratt and William H. Standley,
United States Navy, retired. former
chiefs of naval operations; Vice Ad-
nnlral William L. Rodgers, retired,
former president of the Naval War
College; Rear Admiral Harry E.
Yarnell, retired, former commander
in chief of the Asiatic Fleet; Colonel
william J. Donovan, Major George
Fielding Eliot and others, are con-
vinced that Britain can win so long
as the flow of war supplies from the
United States Is maintained without
interruption.
In a dispassionate appraisal of
present and probable future factors
bearing on the military situation in
Europe, the experts contend that
Britain's sea blockade of Germany,
plus the combined production facili-
ties Of the British Empire and the
United States, plus measures to in
sure the safe delivery of American
made war supplies to British forces,
weight the scales in Britain's favor.
The setbacks which the British have
suffered to date, while diScouraging,
are far from catastrophe, these
analysts argue. Like Wendell Willkie
and many other supporters of the
administration aid-to-Britain pol
icy, they believe that Hitler cannot
win unless he subdues the English
isles, and that he cannot subdue those
isles if planes and guns and other
necessities continue to arrive in Suffi-
cient quantities.
President Roosevelt's belief, as
stated to Secretary of War Stimson
yesterday, that the democracies can
and must" achieve command of the
air, is shared by the seventeen au-
thorities. They, too, stress the i'm
portance of rushing heavy, long
range bombers to the Royal Air
Force, SO that destruction of Axis
military objectives can be carried
out with relentless intensity
The experts warn that "the de-
cisive period" of the war "is from the
present moment until the rising
curve of American production passes |

ing to plaster an unpleasant phrase
on the opposition. 1t would be na.
tural, for Pegler has been sockng
the communists right and left both

What is a fifth columnist? To me
it means guys like Ham Fish and

Martin Laval Sweeney who were
so busy with their hates Of our

would help Hitler and the Japs BE-
cause it would hurt Roosevelt, 1t
means Bundists and United Mothers.
Beneath Contempt
1t would be beneath contempt for
Pegler himself to answer such
phrase, but I can do it for him, The
fact is that no American writer has
so bitterly and regularly denounced
and Scorned Hitler and MuSsOln
and the Japs and their several
forms of fascism. Pegler started Il
years before the war. He started
after he Travelled through Europe

'COnceited' | HONOLULU. July d (UP) | HONOLULU, July 4 (UP)
The British are "just be-
loved amateurs at warfare"
John Stuart Martin, war ed
itor of Time and Life mags-
zines said today as he arrived from
six months on the Near East battle
fronts.
Martin said he had been unable
to speak his views previously be-
cause of rigid censorship.
He verbally lambasted not only
the British Near East army but
also its recently removed command
Ell, Gen. Sir Archibald Wavell.
Commenting on the British CAM
paigns in the Near East, Martin
said:
THE British are just beloved am
ateurs at warfare, and if Americans
are half as great amateurs, then
God help us.
They are doing things which
never should have been attempted.
The Greek campaign was launched
when the general ordered military
action as political gesture to Lon
don, knowing they were hopelessly
outnumbered by Hitler's troops.
I'm the Egyptian battle, against
Nazi and Italian forces, $4,000 Brit
ish troops were split in half, includ-
ing the royal air force, by a Ger
man drive.
"Wavell is able but he is con-
ceited and has miserable staff as
sitants. They waste entirely too
much ime. 1t is suicidal tie way
they send weaker troops against
the powerful Nazis. They have too
much of the wrong kind of courage
The British throw off stunning
defeats with a shake of the head.
They hail minor victories with the
comment a jolly good show"
If Great Britain holds Syria, it
probably will have a chance to keep
the strategic Suez canal, Martin
added.
But we must beat Hitler, no mat
ter how much it COSTS" he said. |

Bulgaria is important in the Nazi scheme only because of it's geographical position. It has been under complete German domination for months Its people, like all Balkan Savs, are strongly aware of their racial affinity with the Russians. Con- munism is a name that has meaning to them. They have given many indications of their dis pleasure with the Nazi attack on Russia and as consequence the German overords have imprisoned thousands of Bulgarans.
It is the king, the cabinet and the general staff, not the people, that the Germans seek to tie more securely to their chariot in this endeavor to make Bulgaria belligerent. As they hold out glittering promises to Tsar Boris. He can have absolute naval command of the Black Sea. He has no navy now but Italy may furnish it. He can have undsputed trading rights in that area and also a protectorate over the Crmea. The mild appearing Tsar Boris is a great schemer. He is ambitious. He has survived many uprisings against his rule, both popular and military. The lure is one he cannot resist He will do Germanys bidding in this as meekly he allowed the Wehrmacht to come into his country last spring.
Bulgaria, therefore, will be asked to join Ger many in drive toward the Dardanelles. An effort will be made to resurrect Bulgar Turkish enmities from the last century when the Sultan ruled Bull gara At the appropriate time the Thracian border of European Turkey will blaze The Germans seem impervous to the fact that Bulgaria may blaze in formally too have other occupied countries. Their indifference to this possibility is confession that they are hard pressed in Russia.
This move will be coupled with pressure at An kara Dr. Karl Clodius, German trade missionary, whose name spells disaster for every country he visits is now in the Turkish capital trying to im- plement the German-Turkish trade treaty. At the same time Franz von Papen, Hitler's envoy to An kara, and Hans Rhode military attache, are in Berlin detailing what progress they have made in boring from within.
Turkeys time has come. In the one-by-one method of the Germans the frontiers of the non- belgerent neutral Turkey have been reached. Tur- key most likely will remain free of German troops. Hitler's armies could not advance across Anatolia toward the Caucasus while Allied armies are sta- toned along the Syrian, Iraqan and Iranian from tiers of Turkey ready to strike. What Is sought Is the diplomatic imprisonment of Turkey There would be no fear that Turkey would observe the terms of the Montreux Treaty governing the Dar- daneles or honor her treaty of friendship with Britain drive by well land could be made for the Baku oil fields German armies in the southern Ukraine could be supported with sup plies and endorsements by sea much more easily than is possible by land.
The real decision in this development lies in Ankara, not Sofia Allied diplomacy of the most skifu sort is called for. If Turkey deserts-and her loyalty has been none too sure in the past the Allied supply route to southern Russia is en- dangered; the position in the Near East and North Africa is made precarious and greater burden in defeating Hitler is laid upon the Allies and the United States. |

Holds Against Huge Odds Till U. S. Comes In
MarQuis | Looking back on the smashing sue
cesses in Egypt and Libya, the British
are justly proud of the record of their
navy, which in large part made those
achievements possible. The victories
have served to point up not only the
prelude to the defeat of Rommel, which
was the sending of vast amount of
war material over many thousands of
miles of sea, but the long and perilous
task OF the British Navy in guarding
the ocean routes of the world for, more
than three years.
For more than two years of that time
the British did the job alone, aided only
by such equipment as we could spare,
including, of course, the all-important
transfer of so old destroyers. British
ships and British seamen held the line
against seemingly inSuperable obstacles.
And in doing so they hung up records
which are likely to stand for long time.
Ocean conveys, according to recent
statement of Vice Admiral Wake Walker,
have totaled 1875, 100000 miles, the equiv
alent of 5000 times around the world
More than 10000 conveys have been
escorted, in which 1879 out of every 200
vessels have reached port safely, accord
ing to figures provided by an authorita-
tive source.
600 Ships at Sea.
Britain has constantly at sea 600 war
ships and auxiliaries. In the Atlantic
alone 250000 men of the Royal Navy are
serving. The Admiralty patrols, with
varying degrees of watchfulness, 10000
miles of trade routes on which sail 1000
British and Allied merchantmen.
But mere figures do not tell the real
story. The epic has been written in the
individual narratives of the ships them
selves and of the unsung heroes who
man them. There is nothing conSpicu-
ously heroic in sweating for an 18-hour
watch in the engine room of a destroyer
Such men, thousands of them, have
made it possible for the British Navy to
maintain control of the seven seas.
Take, for example, the record of the
battleship H. M. S. Rodney. Since the
beginning of the war the Rodney, COM
manded by Capt. J. w. Rivett-C Carnac,
has steamed more than 10000 miles
For 30 out of the first SO months after
September, 1899, she has been at her
battle station or steamng about the
oceans protecting conveys, chasing raid
ers and helping to keep Hitlers cruisers
and destroyers confined to port. The

Norway, in the Mediterranean, in the
North Atlantic and in the South Atlantic
H. M. S. Rodney was one of the war
ships in on the kill of the NaN super
battleship Bismarck. The machinery Of
the 17-year old vessel was known at the
time to be badly in need Of repairs, yet
she steamed at full speed for 18 hours.
For keeping the ship going at high speed
when she should have been limping
home for repairs, the engineer officer in
charge was given the Distinguished
Service Order.
Just before the pursuit of the Bis
marck began in the North Atlantic the
Rodney was escorting a convoy. Boiler
trouble developed and the engineer in
charge shut down the defective boiler.
Then he and an engineroom assistant
climbed into the furnace to make tern-
porary repairs. The heat was such that
they could stand it for only five minutes
at time and when the job was COM
pleted they were pulled out exhausted.
But they had done in four and a half
hours repair job which would ordi-
narily have taken 10 hours, and because
of their devotion to duty the Rodney was |

The sharp resurgence of fighting
on the entire eastern front, with the
Russians everywhere taking the in
ltlatlve all the way from the Arctic to
the Caucasus, raises the highly in
teresting question whether this NAV

similar to that launched at the be-
ginning of the winter season last
year. The term offensive" is here
used in its technical military sense.
meaning a major operation co-ordi-
mated over an entire front, as dis
tinguished from tactical offensive
moves OF limited scope and signifi-
cance.
The Russians have long been fore
casting such an offensive when the
Axis advance had expended it's mo-
mentum and when the coming of win
ter gave the Russians certain natural
advantages. For months Moscow
dispatches have limited at large-scale
reserves being trained and equipped
for winter campaign. The huge
losses suffered by the Axis before
Stalingrad and their failure to take
that pivotal city on the Volga leaves
them in an unsatisfactory strategic
situation there, while their similar
failure to take Voronezh, the kew
point on the upper Don, exposes their
flank to attacks which might en-
danger their communications with
the entire Volga-Caucasus front.
The Axis picture becomes still more
dubious with the serious defeat they
have just suffered in the Central
Caucasus. Moscow announces an
important victory at Ordjonikidze,
strategic town which commands both
the principal pass over the noun
tains and the approach to the
Grozhny oil fields. Curiously enough,
this is the first notice the outer world
has had that Axis forces had pene-
trated thus deeply in this sector.
According to Moscow, the Axis has
suffered such heavy losses in men
and equipment that no further
threat to the Central Caucasus may
be anticipated for some time.
Appraisal of the military prospects
on the eastern front are extremely
difficult, because so little is known
as to the relative strength of both
sides. For months, rival armies to-
falling several millions of men have
been battling almost continuously in
what is perhaps the most sustainedly
ferOciOuS conflict of all times. The
upShot must be mutual weakening
of profound significance for future
operations. Despite extensive losses
of territory, resources and popula-
ton. Russia presumably still holds
the edge in manpower. But it is un-
likely that the badly crippled indus
trial system Of the Soviet Union is
able to match the output of Axis
dominated Europe, while the amount
Of munitions and supplies received
from its allies has almost certainly
failed to meet the deficit. II the
Axis could concentrate on the eastern
front as it did last year, the success
of Russian winter offensive would
be. dubious.
However, the amazing transforma-
ton in the overall picture wrought
by recent Anglo-American triumphs
in North Africa introduces a new
element in the situation on the east
ern front. The most immediate con-
sequence has been the undoubted
weakening of German air strength
there, due to the imperative necessity
of diverting much of the LuftWaffe
to the Mediterranean area. Despite
unverified reports, it is unlikely
that Axis ground troops have been
withdrawn directly from the eastern
front. But the German high COM
mand must be using troops from the
general strategic pool for service in
the Mediterranean and North Africa
that might otherwise have been
available for service in Russia. That
indirect drain undoubtedly will in
f1uence Axis strategy in Russia, COM
pelling more cautious policy and
the avoidance Of what, under differ
ent circumstances, would be justif1-
able risks. Conversely, this will permit
the Russians to be bolder and to take
bigger chances than they formerly
would have done. Such are the basic
trends. To forecast more would be
Improbable. |

Moscow, October 29. 4 (UP) -- The Soviet press to- day credited the defenders of Stalingrad with inflicting "the greatest German defeat since the winter defeat at Moscow" and in the Caucasus Red Army troops drove for- ward in a blizzard to find Nazi troops frozen to death in their dugoutS.
Reports from the Caucasus said the mountains were now many feet deep with snow and that temper. atures were "far below zero"
It was announced, however, that Soviet forces had again fallen back in the vicinity of Nalchik, 50 miles southwest of Mozdok.
(The German high command said Rumanian and German Alpine troops captured Nalchik).

The Germans were reported to have brought up fresh tank dl- vision and attacked a northern face tory district again with four infali- try and two tank divisions possibly 75,000 men-hut they advanced only 100 or 200 yards, it was said, losing about five battallons in the opera ton-approximately 4,00o to 50,O0O men.
Northeast of the Tuapse naval base in the western Caucasus, tenn peratures were far below zero, dis patches said. The Germans were using ski and sled attachments in frantic efforts to reach the warmer coats of the Black Sea before the blizzard froze them, or made the mountains completely impossible. :.
Snow Fills Passes
Snow, often waist deep, already filled passes and deep gorges. the Communist party organ Prayda said. Avalancfes periodically thun- dered down the mountain sides.
Soviet ski troops, untitled in heavy furs, were reported counters attack ing, and dispatches said they al- ready had thwarted a further pen- etration toward the Black Sea northeast of Tuapse.
At one point, the Russians were reported to have split German and Rumanian forces, captured strate- gic height, killed hundreds of enemy troops, and captured much booty and many prisoners.
Pravada reported that Russian caravans of horses and donkeys laden with supplies were streaming through the snow toward mountain positions. But the snow was so deep that the caravans often became ex- hausted. Then men took the sup plies from the beasts and packed them themselves. Pravda said men often were carrying mountain guns 15 miles after horses and mules bog ged down.

At Stalingard, where the weather was verging on winter and just such blizzards as those sweeping the Western Caucasus, the Russians threw back an attack by 1000 Nazia and killed more than 100.

Of course not. To prove this we are not confined to theoretical arguments-but facts.
The ultimate goal of Communism is the establishment "of world dic- tatorShip of the prolatariat" (Page 34, Program of the Communist h. ternational Workers Library Pub lication, 1936). Stalin himself de- clared that the Communist party would never give up its dictatorship Thus, Communism robS man of all his fundamental human liberties: freedom of speech, freedom of the press, freedom of religion Jewish, Catholic, Protestant), freedom of assemblage and freedom of educa- tion. These exist only in name in the new Soviet constitution. How can they exist when the new Soviet constitution prevents the establish ment of any other party in Russia except Russian Communism and when nothing can be printed with out receiving the previous approval of Communist censorship.
The fact that the Communist party, which constitutes less than l 1-2 percent of the total Russian population, insists on being the only existent party in Russia is sufficient answer to lip service democracy loving Communist of South Main street, who says he believes in dem- ocracy. Communists use the freedom granted to them as individuals by 8 democratic government in America to denounce the constitution and to work for the overthrow of our American Democratic government. Once in power they would repeat the history of Russia: They would promptly proceed to remove every bit of the democratic freedom which Americans possess. Words, unless backed by facts, mean nothing. Communists talk about democracy when at the same time they are doing everything to work for the establishment of a Communistic dictatorship.
When the Communist writer says that Communism has set life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as its goal, i've would like to ask him in what world does he live? Where has he been the last (twenty) years?" He must be well paid to attempt this Jack-in-the-box, now-you-See- | it-and nd-now-you-don't tactics.
AS for people who own private property-the grocer. the butcher or the shoemaker-their property is to be left to them for a while ito win the mover" (Program, p. 49), but all private property must be abolished in the end. (Program, p. 300.
(Please note: We are in perfect accord with few of the Commun- ist's statements, written in his last letter: "The American people have 8 right to revolution. It is the right of the majority" This, in fact, has been our argument right along. Communists do not constitute a ma jority, and so cannot claim for themselves the unique right to be revolutionary.

Stalin, however, was the man who flatly opposed it.
Stalin, according to those re- turnnig from Yalta. pointed out that this was to be primarily military conference and France was playing minor role in the war. Since the Big Three were bearing the main brunt of the war, Stalin said he saw no point in having de Gaulle sit ill on conference con- cerned largely with military strategy.
The Russian war chief was quite definite and repeated the point that if the Yalta con- ference were concerned primar- fly with political and economic postwar problems, 1t would be different. But when military matters were being discussed. he just didn't want dc Gaulle around.
Then to clinch his views, Stalin recalled that France surrendered to Germany early in the war, and refused to turn over the French fleet to the British as pei treaty arrangement.
And concluded Stalin, when you landed in North Africa, they fired on you"
That eAded the matter. RoCse- welt and Churchill, who didn't care much one way or the other, made no further suggestions about de Gaulle.
LADIES OF CONGRESS
The menfolk of Congress might take a lesson from the Ladies Congressional club when 1t comes to holding their tempers and keeping their fists in thelr pock- cts.
On the day that "Titular Re- publican Leader John Rankin of Mississippi jumped Or the back Of Congressman Hook ot Michigan, all interesting after math occurred at the meeting of Congressional wives who form the Ladies Congressional Club.
But the ladies engaged in no -pulling-except possibly with their eyes.
CongresswOman Helen Ga- hagan Douglas of California, wife of movie actor Melvyn Douglas and an actress in her own right, had been asked to give talk. She had some in- teresting things to say about wO- men in politics and she said them with charm and frank ness.
Among other things she told how a statesman who had helped to introduce women's suffrage claimed that women's entrance in- to politics had not lifted the level of political action. Mrs. Douglas took exception to this and argued that certain women had made rapid political strides in recent years. She also maintained that women could not develop politi- cally overnight, any more than an actress could attain fame and footlights overnight.
AS an Illustration, she said that many people thought she had be- come an actress right ifter she left college, when as matter of fact she had been studying act- ing almost since the age of five. IRATE MRS. RANKIN
Then Mrs. Douglas made a plea for sticking to facts and not hid- ing behind prejudice.
There Is no place in our sO- ciety for hate," she said. "We don't get anywhere by hating each other. For instance, if I may be very frank and speak entirely off the record, I think that the kind of things that hap pened on the floor of the House today was most regret table and Is not going to con- tribute to the good of Congress-

ELIOT. | LLiol.
Ihe concentric advances of the
Russian armies on Rostov present
some interesting problems involv-
ing the factors of time and distance.
Ihus, the German Army which is
Withdrawing from the Grozny area
Is now west of Nogutskaya on the
RostoV-Baku Railway; it is about
275 miles from Rostov. But the
Russian armies on the lower Don
and the Donets are from 60 to 80
miles from Rostoy. Can they get
there first?
Ordinarily one would be inclined
to the opinion that they could not
because the retreating army from
the Caucasus has good rail lines
available, while the Russians in the
areas mentioned have no open rail-
ways behind them, are operating at
the ends of long and lengthening
INES of communication over bad
roads and are encountering ever
stlffer German resistance as they
approach Rostov itself.
But there are complications.
First. 1t. Gen. Rasmenikoff is do
ing a very good job in the way of
pursuit, He is keeping his advance
going on fairly broad front, and
he is making bold use Of his mount
ed and motorized elements, as testi-
ned to by the speed of his advance
and his continual sweeps to the
f1anks.
Nears Open Country.
He is now on the point of emerg-
Ing from the broken country in
which he has been operating into
more open country, where the su-
perior Russian winter mobility will
count heavily. Moreover, he has
just taken Blagodornoe, the eastern
terminus of a branch line railway
parallelling the Rostov-Baku Rail
way, and if his engineers can
quickly build connecting link from
Budyonovsk to Blagodornoe, along
a route already surveyed and over
comparatively easy terrain, he can
begin to use second line of rail-
way as he advances.
Thus, Rasmenikof seems to have
at least fair chance of increasing
his pressure on the retreating Ger
mans and perhaps compelling their
main force to stand and fight to
avoid being broken up in detail.
Next, we must give little thought
to the operations of 1t. Gen. Yere-
menko, coming down the Stalingrad-
Rostov Railway toward its juno
ton, at Tikhoretz, with the Rostov-
Baku line. Yeremenko has Just
taken Doivnaya, which is about 100
miles from Tikhoretze. He is en-
countering heavy resistance; his
lines of communication are difficult
because they are blocked, at Stalin- !
grad, from direct rail conlmunica-
tion with the main Russian supply
bases, and he can make only limit
ed use of this stretch of railway,
which is "in the air." so to speak,
and on which he cannot have much
in the way of locomotives and roll
ing stock.
Nevertheless, he is going ahead,
maintaining contact on his right
with Col. Gen. RoSsokovsky,s army |

In a far-reaching defini- tion of the British policy on postwar European settle ments, Churchill told the House of Commons that Great Britain will support Russia at the peace confer ence in demanding territorial concessions from Poland in the east.
In return, the greater part of East Prussia would be ceded to Poland, he said, suggesting also that there would be no objection from Britain or Russia, if the Poles also pushed out their western borders into Ger many proper.
The British backed Russian plan, Churchill, said, envisages the virtu- al extirpation of the Prussian state, with the forced removal from their homeland of most of the Prussian Junkers who traditionally have been the heart and soul of the Ger man military machine.

Failure to set up this Allied Mission inside Berlin generally has been blamed on the Russians. However, this column is now able to throw important light on all the facts
Though Stalin did object to
American troops entering Der
lin ahead of the Red Army
Russian capture of Berlin was agreed on at Yalta), actually U.
s. officials have been largely responsible for the delay in sending a subsequent tcken
force into Berlin and setting up
Allied headquarters to govern Germany.
If you ask the War Department about this, you will get evasive, sawdust-in-the-eye answers. But actually three reasons have de- veloped for U. s. hesitatoin over entering Berlin. They are:
1. If an Allied Commission IS set up in Berlin. it would be necessary to abolish SHEAF (Su- preme Headquarters, Allied Expe- ditionary Force) anud General Eisenhower would step down from being commander over the French and British. Instead, the French and British would be equal in command with Eisenhower in any four -cornered Allied Commission in Berlin. So would the Russians.
2. With all four nations work ing in Berlin, it is feared that CO., operation with the Russians might be more difficult. At present, Russia governs it's part of East ern Germany, while the Western Allies govern their part of Vest ern Germany. There is strict line running between them and no inter-communication to speak Of This is not the plan originally arranged at Yalta. However, there has been so much friction during the closing days of the war, that U. s. commanders fig ure they may be better off remain ing where they are instead of go- ing into Berlin.
BRITISH HELP IN
FEEDING GERMANY
3. The British don't want to change the present setup wherein they are part of SHEAF under General Eisenhower AS SHAEF now operates, the British are able to get a good part of their sup plies from the United States to handle their part of occupied Ger many. Ii SHAEF is disbanded, this supply arrangement stops.
Under the Combined Ship ping Board, most of the sup plies for the British and Ameri- can armies are even hauled in American ships. And if this stops, the British have the hardest part of Germany on their hands to feed. For the British-occ British-occupied Ruhr and the industrial West are heavily popu- lated With little farmland, for merly importing food from East ern Germany and Prussia But with these eastern areas Russian occupied, the British know they can't get any food from them.
So the British don't want
SHEAF and the present U. $. supply arrangement disbanded.
FINALLY, some U. s. officials fear that cooperation with the French might become difficult if SHAEF were abolished. At present the French have to take orders from Eisenhower. But once an Allied Commission was set up in Berlin, the French would be equal partners, and their ideas on the future governing of Germany might be just as ind!- pendent as the Russians.
Obviously the present make
shift situation cannot continue indefinitely. And there is a lot
of debate inside the Govern
ment on both sides. Some say
we had better go ahead and
try out international coopera-
tion over Germany right away
and do our best. Others say we
had best avoid headaches by |

Big Three Closer | MOSCOW, Dec. 21- (P) -Ex- ploratory conversations of the for eign ministers of Britain, Russia and United States appear to have brought the three countries closer together than they were before the meet, informed foregin quar- ters said. Certain suspicious are be- ieved to have a good chance of being dispelled.
On the sixth day of the Big Three foreign ministers meeting, the sixty-sixth birthday of Stalin, this appeared the situation on the basis of reports in informed for eign quarters. There is a strong feeling that some results will come from the meeting. These results may be better than was originally expected, but every difference among the three is not likely to be settled at this meting.
Byrnes and Bevin, it is believed, are anxious not to raise the hope and expectations of American and British people too much. Foreign ministers of the Big Three have no desire, nor intention, of dominat- ing the United Nations organiza- ton, or of bypassing it. |

Moscow, Oct. 0-(UP) - Prime Minister Winston Churchill and Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden with a large party of military and diplomatic aides arrived today.
They were met at Moscow air. drome by Foreign CommiSsar V. M. Molotov, Vice. Commissars Andreyev Vishiinsy and Ivan Maisyk, British Ambassador Sir Archibald Clark Kerr, Q. s. Ambassador W. Averill Hartman and members of the Brit ish and American military missions.
Churchill was welcomed at the modernlStic airport with the great est pomp and ceremony ever acc corded a foreign dignitary under the Soviet regime.
A crack detachment of the NKVD civil guard of honor was drawn up and presented arms as Churchill and his party stepped from their plane.
The Soviet flag and the Union Jack fluttered at dozens of flag poles around the field and a Rus sian military band played the New Soviet Anthem and God Save The King"
(An official statement in London by Deputy Prime Minister Clement Attlee described the trip as a ''Se- quel'' to the Quebec conference of President Roosevelt and Churchill. It was believed Churchill and Sta- lin would discuss speeding up a final all-out assault upon Germany from east, south and west. Church. i'll was also expected to iron out with Stalin the security phases of the Dumbarton Oaks proposals whi, . were made public simultane- ous with the prime minister's ar rival in Moscow.) |

Russians Making Strong Defense to Stop Capture
of StaIingrad by Nazis | BY EVERETT R. HOLLIS United Press Cable Editor) | Russia's armies appeared to be falling back in a gen. eral although stubborn with drawal on almost all the vital sectors of the southern front today against odds which the Moscow official press de- scribed as "already over- whelming." No longer was it a question of merely de- lending the rich oil centers and communications of the Caucasus be- cause much of the oil already has been cut off by the swift Nazi drives and important stretches of the rail- road lines have been severed.
It was battle to keep Marshal Semyon Timoshenko's armies intact and prevent them from being broken into segments and ground beneath the charges of fleets or German tanks = driving forward in some places at the rate of 50 miles day over the Caucasus plains which are almost ideal for this mechanized warfare.
The Germans were eXerttng their full strength = parachute troops, suicide units of tommy gunners snd tanks slashing in upon the Red Army almost constantly in waves 50 and 60.
The Russian high command &C., knowledged withdrawals in the Bic leyoglina sector only about 50 miles north of the vital railroad junction of Tikhoretsk to the south of Ros- tov. It was the second time in 12 hours that the Soviets had reported a German advance in the area.
May Encircle Forces
The thrust of the Germans south ward to and apparently beyond Bieleyoglina threatened the encir- clement of large Russian forces still battling around Kushchevka, 48 miles north of Bieleyoglina.
For the first time in 12 days the Russians also admitted a German advance in the Kletskaya sector, about 70 miles northwest of Stal- III dO 1U 10 dlOAAAO &AOAoNeSJD VAAsp the Russian defense has been the strongest because Timoshenko has been able to reinforce and supply his forces there by the Volga route and from Stalingrad's war plants.
Other Russian withdrawals oc- cured in the Tisimlyanskaya sector near the Don, midway between Ros- toy and Stalingrad, enabling the Germans to push the center of their line down closer to their ad- vances in the Kuschevka and Salsk regions.
The German high commands claims today were at wide variance with the Russian reports and claimed a drive by SS troops that captured Kropotkin, 125 miles deep in the Caucasus, and bridgeheads on the west bank of the Don north of pipeline junction 50 miles southeast Amavir which is a railroad and e K~orOtkic, |

FDR Secrecy | Chicago, May 16-(UP)--Alf M. Landon, 1886 Republican presi- dental candidate, criticized Prest- dent Roosevelt today for his per
sonal secrecy" and declared the nation was entitled to know whether
this war lis 8 conflict of prin- ciples or whether 1t is just Q grab for world dominion"
Recalling President Woodrow Will sons policy of making diplomatic exchanges public, Landon said in an addres prepared for the l47th Rotary luncheon that i've should have had long ago the long prom ised report from the president on his conferences, conversations and agreements with Stalin and Church. ill.,"
Wilson led in public debates formulating American public opin- ion,' Landon said, but we do not know under MT. Roosevelt whether as a result of his conferences, we are headed in the direction of a experimentation state, a League of Nations, a Federation of Nations, a World Court, or a balance of power alliance between Russia, Britain and America-with the world divided into three spheres of in- fuence, or a direction not yet made known
Landon said he thought 1t was folly" to attempt to reform the world" without regard for "the po- litical and spiritual forces indi- genous to every country"
There is too much talk" the former Kansas governor said, about coerci"e principles without consid- ering the removal of evils which precipated the war. The aggressor nations, in past history, have not always been the same ones"
Declaring that domestic issues and international issues are sim liar, one depending upon the other, Landon said that a prime require ment in a platform for America" would be "a good manager for our nations affairs
The history or MT. RooSeVelt'S relations with business, labor, agri- culture and Congres," he said, lis one of intermittent wrangling and uneasy truce, but with no perman- ent peace.
Plainly, we cannot continue that way, with the presidents ch!p-on- the-shoulder attitude. Far reaching isues can only be solved by an ex- ecutive and Congress who bring to the task mutual good will and comon determination to treat the economy as an indivisible unit. Unity of labor has been de- liberately upset by White House pol itics. The whole country has suf- fered from such maneuverings." |

To Invasion Across Channel | BY Constantine Broom, | forces In western Europe, stated last
November when we entered North Africa
that If the Allies decided to fight in italy
he would no longer be worried about the
invasion of Western Europe.
The sour ., which reported these words
of the Nazi general Is worthy Of con-
fidence and many Allied leaders are led
to believe that the German general stan
will leave no stone unturned to send to
Marshal Rommel all the men and war
material he needs to make the battle for
Italy so costly that we will be compelled
to send important reinforcements from
this country to Gen. Eisenhower.
In the light of what is happening on
the Russian front 1t is believed that the
Nazis may be able to detach an additional
20 divisions possibly more-to check
our advance in Italy and possibly push
us back.
1t is improbable that important battles
will be fought in Russia in the near
future. Weather conditions, the distance
from the main base Of supply of the
Russian armies-some $50 miles-and
certain amount of weariness after many
months of continuous advance make
major battles on the Dnieper line
extremely unlikely. The American gen.
eral staff is fully aware of the problem
the Russians have in supplying 100000
men with food and ammunition to con-
tinue large-scale operations.
Should the Nazis take advantage Of
this situation and dispatch the 20 more
divisions to Italy our situation would
become dangerous indeed.
Twenty Divisions Destroyed.
1t Is believed in competent quarters
that the Germans will be able to detach
100000 men from the Russian front. The
Allies estimated that their original force
in that area was 224 divisions. Some 20
have been destroyed.
The present Nad line is much shorter
than the line of last July. One hundred
and fifty divisions are considered more
than sufficient as defensive force. The
needed reserves are included In this
number. Fifty divisions thus are left for
fighting in other sectors.
The Berlin high command knows that
weather conditions will make large
scale operations in the Balkans impos-
sible. 1t is not concerned at this time
with an invasion OF Western Europe or
Scandinavia, where the present forces
are more than sufficient to meet any
Allied threat.
They know that our campaign in italy
is no longer feint to cover other opera
tions. The Germans realize that We
have staked our reputation on beating
them there. The offensive may have
been against the better judgment Of the
American military men, but that no
longer matters.
So. 1t appears probable that whatever
Russian front will be rushed to Italy to
enable Marshal Rommel to ward OF the
Allied blows and, If possible. drive us
back with losses
Once embarked on the Italian CAM
paign. it is impossible for us to leave it.
We must push on with every ounce Of
strength at our disposal. If Gen. Eisen-
hover is faced with a numerically supe-
rior enemy he may in the end need re-
Inducements from outside his present
command.
Would Have Assistance.
The implications of such situation
are regarded as grave. Should Gen.
Eisenhower become hard pressed in
few weeks or months, he cannot be re-
fused assistance.
And the troops we may have to rush
to him to equalize the enemy's strength
will have to be taken from those units
earmarked for the invasion of Western
Europe.
A shift of 10, 20 or more divisions from
our invasion bases to Italy would make
our future operations in Western Eu-
rope difficult, If not impossible and the
Russians are not in the mood to give US
any time extension.
They accepted the explanations offered
them after the last meeting at Quebec
as to why a cross-Channel invasion was
not feasible this year. They had some
misgivings about the advisability of an
operation in Italy and for this reason
showed little more than polite approval
of our Mediterranean campaign.
The Russians moved to the Dnieper
line and so far have left unanswered the
Nazi peace approaches. But they have
served notice that they fully expect an
offensive in the west next spring and no
explanation or alibis will be accepted.
The Germans, realizing this, are ex-
| pected to continue the fight in Italy with
| vigor and bitterness. They may even
strip other fronts which are not likely to
be active" during the winter in order to
give Marshal Rommel the opportunity to
shove us back and compel us to shift our
forces to Italy.
To the German general staff the battle
in Italy is far more important than the
battle for Stalingrad. On the success or
failure OF the battle depends the future
Of the Reich; whether it will be COM |

DRIVE PROBABLE
Large Scale Effort Not Likely for Two Months
Due to Muddy Terrain | By HARRISON SALISBURY | United Press Staff COrreSpO O"dent
London, April 6.--(UP)-If Hit ler's summer plans call for new Russian offensive-as 1t Is believed they do, provided the Nazis think they can carry out the operation before becoming fully occupied with an Allied invasion of western Europa it seems likely the WehrmacIlt will attempt another great drive to" ward Moscow.
This conclusion was reached today by analysis in London of results of the great Red army winter offensive and the NaI counterblow which captured Kharkov.
It was not believed the Germana would be likely to pick the Caucasus and Stalingrad again because, de- spite last summers results, the So. viets managed to put In formidable winter offensive.
However, If the Nazls could take Moscow or encircle the capital, tho effect certainly would weaken Rus- sia substantially and probably would iInmobilize the Red army insofar as Its offensive chances were con- cerned.
There is not much chance for the Germans to start such a large scale effort for at least six weeks or two months, because of the muddy ter- rain, most observers thought.
If the Nazi offensive could be cou- pied with a Japanese attack on Si- beria the Germans presumably would have their greatest chance of immohilizing the Red army. How ever, all quarters in London have the highest confidence in the Red army's ability to stand of the Ger mans, possibly by launching a coun- ter-offensive similar to that at Kharkov last year. |

Tanks of Little Use.
The Soviet command relied very
little on tanks for the defense of
Stalingrad, partly because the great
offensives to the north were being
prepared, partly because they early
discovered that the craters left by
Nazi bombs made their adequate
use difficult.
The Germans themselves were
compelled largely to abandon tanks
OF any size within the city as a, re-
suit of the activity Of Nazi aviation.
Artillery played a much larger
role than armor. Guns up to TO-
mm,-so- called divisional artillery
followed the storm groups directly
into action often firing over open
sights. When hand -tto-hand COM
bats occurred after dark, the artil-
lerists used daylight for the system

river which caused so much heart
break and difficulty in other respects
was in this regard a great advan-
tage.
Telephone Lines Reliable.
Keeping in touch with the storm
groups operating in various sections
OF the city was another difficult
problem. Wide use was apparently
made of the open radio for staff
orders to anything smaller than a
division. 1t was also found that
telephone lines nearest to the front
were most reliable.

closely locked together that Nazi
bombs and shells could not be
greatly used on the front lines for

Another argument for an early meeting of the three heads of states was seen in signs that Germany might be defeated by next summer instead of Christmas, 1914, if a properly coordinated military and political program is followed.
The London Daily Telegraphs Washington dispatch suggested that MT. Roosevelt, Churchill land Stalin might frame declaration demand ing Germany's surrender, possibly worded along the lines of Woodrow wilson's ill-fated "A points" of the Versailles conference.

Moscow, Sept. 10 -(UPl- The Germans opened a general attack on all sectors of the west and south west approaches to Stalingrad yes- terday as the first of the autumn rains fell, but the Russians, after giving up two occupied localities at the outset, were holding today.
The first of the fall rains, after a summer that had baked the steps to the barrenness of a desert, gave hope to Stalingrad's tired defenders, because, if they continue, Adolf Hit ler's hundreds of tanks may soon be bound by mud.
The general attack opened early yesterday, dispatches said. The Germans began hitting on every sector with greater tank units and with greater frequency.
The biggest battle developed on sector west of Stalingrad where the Russians repulsed two attacks and forced the enemy to retreat.
Covered by dive-bombers and fighters in groups of six and eight, the Germans resumed their attacks. with infantry and tank reinforce ments. Russian fighter planes inc tercepted the German planes at- tacking Soviet positions and a vi1- lage = the focal point of the att tack. Again the Russians repulsed tank thrusts.
40 Tanks Thrown In
The Germans regrouped and threw 40 tanks against the narrowest point. Seven tanks broke through, followed by infantry. Although the Ger mans were subjected to violent flank attacks. they forced the Russians to abandon two villages and retreat to new positions.
Fighting for the villages, however. had been going lon for several daaH before the general attack was opened.
The government organ Tzveskzo said more than 1000 German bodies

Front-hne dispatches reported that the Russians had retaken a small railway station outside Stalin- grad. Black, shining Italian tanks for the first time were thrown into fierce counter attacks. Being thinly armored, Russian shells pierced them as if they were tin.
The battle ragged with undimia- ished violence south of the Terek river in the Mozdok area of the eastern Caucasus, where Adolf Hit Ter had thrown big forces, hoping to drive to the nearby Grozny oil fields from which he had been held two months.
The noon communique reported a Russian advance on one sector, the killing of 250 Germans by one Sov- let unit, and the destruction of eight German planes. The government organ IZvestia said armored trains had been thrown into the battle, and, shelling enemy positions, had killed hundreds and blown up many tanks in the last several days.
On one sector of the Mozdok front, the Germans assaulted for eight continuous days. Three thou sand of them were killed and the Russians held all their positions.

Massive Nazi concentration of men, planes and fighting machines drove in on Stalingrad and the Vol- ga River line today mad Moscow re- ports conceded the vital southern industrial and communications cen- ter had been placed in deadly peril.
The Germans appeared to be on the threshold of the city itself and Berlin reports claimed that their ad- vance guard had reached Stalin- grads western suburbs.

London doubted that the Nazis actually had reached the Volga both north and south of Stalingrad as was claimed by the usually inac- curte Vichy radio.

Red Army I'm Danger
The reports indicated that the Red Army was in equal danger from Nazi th:usts from the northwest and the southwest. The northwestern drive, alone, it was said was being made by 25 Nazi divisions, totalling possibly 375. 900 troops.
The Soviet reverses were not limited to the critical Stalingrad area. The Rer Army was yielding ground in the Caucasus, falling back on the Grozny oil fields and the Novorossi .: naval base along the Black Sea. Berlin claimed that new German forces have swarmed cross the Kerck Straits and are driving into the Soviet pocket on the Taman Peninsula.

To Invasion From West
Would Relieve Pressure by Keeping Reserves
From Aiding Defense When Allies
Strike Across Water | By Constantine Browu. | The success of the invasion of
Western Europe is predicated on
the fullest cooperation of the
Soviet armies. Unless they attack
with at least as much violence and
determination as they have shown
at and after Stalingrad the road
ahead of us will be hard and un-
certain. The 1926 Nazi and satellite
divisions which the German high
command is said still to have at its
disposal must be so engaged that
the bulk should be occupied on the
eastern front. The German gen.
erals must not be given the pos
sibility of transferring any of their
forces from east to west to
strengthen the 60 divisions they are
reported to have available in West
ern Europe.
Should the Russians be capable
of this last effort-and there seems
to be no reason why they shall not
continue their offensive against the
heart of the Reich in the course of
this summer-the betting among
military men in Washington is that
before the year is over Germany
will have to capitulate.
The battles ahead of us, from D.
day, which is now very close, to the
time when the German generals
realize that it would be futile for
them to continue the fight, will un-
questionably be the most severe
and costly in history. The German
armies have not given up the hope
for victory. The German generals
are convinced that successful de-
fense of the western wall would
bring about stalemate which could
be politically exploited. The Ger
man general staff considers now its
main task is to defeat our attempt
to gain permanent foothold in
Western Europe.
Would Hold Russians.
The German strategy during the
next few months will be, if our in
formation is correct, to hold the
Russians back by yielding some
ground wherever necessary, while
the divisions which have been con-
centrated in Western Europe will
fight bitter defensive offensive.
1t is difficult, of course, to obtain
a clear picture of the disposition OF
the German forces. From the best
available information it appears
that the western front Is already
saturated" That Is to say, there
are as many troops manning the
western wall and in reserve as it is
militarily practicable. Besides the
reported so divisions in France and
the Lowlands, another group of
about 40 to SO divisions is said to be
concentrated in Western Germany
ready to be rushed wherever they
may be needed to replace the deci-
mated troops.
The Allies have a fairly compre-
henSive picture of the strength of
the Nazis along the Atlantic wall,
They have prepared the defenses
In that area for more than two
years. In the last IL months, ever
since 1t became obvious that the
main attack of the Anglo-Ameri-
cans would have to come from
across the Channel, these defenses
have been further perfected. What |

gains in each.
Fighting Along Rail Line.
The biggest clash about the Volpa
city was reported to the southwest
where battle was in progress for a
large populated center. The place
was not identified, but the fighting
presumably was progressing along
the Stalingrad- -Tikhoretskaya rail-
road, where the Russians were ad-
vancing toward Kotelnikovski.

by the Nazis was reported in Stain

west of the city the Red Army an

drive today toward Astrakhan,

toward Stalingrad, forcing a deep

of Kletskaya in the Don bend and
pushing the Russians back even
further to the northeast of Kotel-

Stalingrad.
The new threat to the broad

twin thrusts against Stalingrad,

The basis of Russian tactics in
this war appears to be application
of the principle that counterattack
is the heart and soul of successful
defense. The present situation
around Moscow well illustrates their
use of this maxim of war.
Unwilling to accept stalemate, the
Germans have taken advantage of
a break in the weather to launch
another great assault on the Rus
sian capital Their necessities must
have been very pressing to induce
them to risk the certain sacrifices
in men and material on the chance
of success sufficiently great to
justify those losses.
The German high command. of
course. thinks always in terms of
the big picture" They are prob
ably anticipating defeat in Africa,
at moment when they are desper-
ately trying to whip the Vichy
government into line with the new
order in Europe, and when IL Asia
the affairs of Japan are approach
ing crisis. A great victory Tor the
British in the Libyan Desert would
ring around the world, with roper
cusSions everywhere injurious to the
German cause, unless it could be
offset by the capture of MOSCOW.
Nothing less. no advance in South
ern Russia. for example. would serve
tho Nf
litical machine. Hence German
soldiers by the thousands have had
to die beneath the hail of Russian
fire along the western defenses Of
the Soviet capital.
Freezing Aids Mcchanized Forces.
The freezing OF the Ground has
enabled the German mechanization
TO move faster and farther than
during the -slush period of
few weeks ago. The Germans.
therefore, tried for the ambitious
goal of double encirclemenr. north
and south. according to their time
hOnored tactical ideas. In both
cases they gained ground-to Kiln
and to StalinoeorSk.
The holding attack in the center,
meanwhile. doubtless served the
purpose of all holding attacks by
fixing" the Russian troops III their
immediate front. But it did not
fix the Russian reserves. some of
which have now been put into
counterattack in both areas.
In both the result appears to have
been the same. The advanced Ger
man armOred elements have been
cut off from their infantry support,
and now face not only the problem
of regaining touch with their Sup
plies. which has brought disaster to
so many German armored spear
heads in the course of the Russian
war but also the danger of pro-
longed exposure to the growing cold
of a Russian winter. deadly to men
brought up in the comparatively
mild climate of the great north
coastal plain of Europe.
Much Depends on Reserves.
The immediate issue turns, there
fore. on whether the Germans now
have sufficient reserves to rescue
their forward elements and to con-
tinue to gain ground by breaking
down the inner shoulders of the
salients they have formed and thus
forcing the Russian center back
toward Moscow. Should they do
this. renewal of the encircling
movements might follow. in the
Of upply OF the Russian capital.
Much, therefore, depends on the
fi9hAng strength of the reserve
forces still available to the respec-
tive armies on the Moscow front
The Russians are undoubtedly su-
perior in manpower, but it is |
