"Brief1y," hr. Arness added, "The present public
transportation service is inadequate and getting

also is Poland's chief supply of the precious petroleum.
 Some time before the Czecho- Slovak debacle, Poland erected strong notifications along the German Silesian frontier, rum ming north from what was then the Czech border. But today, in full control of Slovakia, Germany outflanks these notifications from the southward.
 NEED FOR REAR GUARD
 WEAKENS GERMANY
 Could Poland successfully resist these German attacks? It is possi- ble, especially if she can get aid in the way of airplanes and supplies, at least, from Soviet Russia.
 Her air force is weak = not more than 1000 first line planes, largely light bombers and fighters, against Germany's 4000, of which 2500 are heavy bombers. Her army has 30 first-line divisions and probably as many reserve divisions (the latter somewhat short of artillery, against 49 first-line and 38 reserve divisions for Germany.
 Germany would, of course, be compelled to leave a considerable force to guard her western bor- ders-probably not less than 25 divisions, reinforced by Land wehr brigades and special forma- tions. This would give her about 60 divisions for the Polish affair, to which must be added her four "armored" divisions, a type of unit in which she is tremendously superior to Poland.
 On the other hand, Poland is superior to Germany in horsed cavalry, ideally suited to her ter rain, which has few good roads and plenty of wide open spaces" Her army is. trained for war of move ment.

ton of Stettin, headquarters of the German Second Corps. This attack would probably be supported by a secondary attack on Gdynia, by a Nazi "putsch" in the territory of the Free City, by air attacks on the rail functions of Bydgoszoz and Jablon- owa which (if successfuD, would cut off all endorsements from Forum, the military headquarters of this area, and from Warsaw. A thrust by the East Prussian forces via Ja- blonowa on Forum should not be ruled out. DOUBLE ATTACK
 AGAINST WARSAW
 If the Corridor were overrun, the next German move would probably take the form of a con- certed advance on Warsaw, with two armies-one via Torun, one from East Prussia straight south down the valley of the Wkra Riv- CT. On this latter route, the dis tance from the East Prussia bor- der to Warsaw is only 90 miles.

 The second principal theater of operations, besides the Corridor, would undoubtedly be in the southwest. Here lies the great in- dustrial region of Silesia, with its coal and iron, its manufactures, and its not inconsiderable Ger man population. Deprived of this region, the Polish industrial ma chine would be unable, without outside help, to support the strain of long war.
 Behind Silesia, to the eastward, is the Polish Ukraine, amongst whose people German propagan- da has long been active. Here

WHERE DO WE EAT?
BY THE MAN IN THE TOWER

Oh, the wandering motorist This time of year, Finds some of the "eatS" signs Both funny and queer. His eye is ever alert To discover new places, As about the countryside For pleasure he chases. He likes a good inn With a genial host, Where food is plentiful Down to the roast =. Or a place he can stop Just for a bite, Not full meal But just something light. Signs tell the story Of homemade cakes and jam, Of Holsters fresh caught, Soft shell crabs and clans. Oh, the wandering motorist Hunts a new wayside retreat, And the question uppermost, Is where do we eat.

Arnold Hints Of
Business Control

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Sept.
IA. UP)-Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Thurman Arnold said today
that positive regulation" of some
industries may be necessary to curb
profiteering and disclosed that he
will ask congress for additional
funds to strengthen enforcement of
antitrust laws.
Addressing the National PETROL
cum association, he termed the
antitrust laws "the front line de-
fense" against profiteering Addi-
tional personnel and funds, he said,
will be necessary to fight unjusti-
fled skyrocketing of commodity
prices due to the European war.
Though eventual regulation Of
certain industries may. be impera-
tive, he said, "a vigorous anti
trust policy in time of war will
make active price control less nee
essary and more limited in its ap-
plication if necessity does compel
us to resort to it,"
1t is more necessary than ever
before, he continued, ito attack the
bottle necks which restrain trade
through artificial price levels. If
