tied up in Europe. Japan feels she
is free to do whatever she wants in
the South Pacific.
Britain, on the other hand, must
follow an imperial policy besides
her European policies and, Hitler
hopes, she will be more amenable
to his peace proposals when it is
known that Japan has now a free
hand in the Far East and can take
advantage of the obligations of the
empire in Europe to kick the
Western powers out of Asia.
There is no sincerity in the vari-
GUS pacts and alliances concluded
between the predatory powers.
Germany is not particularly keen
about having Japan dominate the
Asiatic continent. But for the
time being it is more important
to win the European war than worry
about what is happening in Asia
Japan does not care what hap
pens to Britain, France and Ger
many so long as she can consoli-
date and expand on the Asiatic
mainland. In fact, it hopes the
war in Europe will be long one
and the whites will do a thorough
job of destroying each other. But
She has to be sure that the strong
Siberian army will not move across
the borders, for the Japanese forces
may have to operate in the South
Pacific.
Japan, Russia, Germany, and pos
sible at a later date, Italy want to
change radically the present world
structure. They have joined hands
to do so and it will take greater
opposition than Is being met now

u. A. VIC. |. 0. Victory
Hailed by Leaders

BY the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Sept. 16.-The c. I. O..
United Automobile Workers said to-
day its overwhelming victory over
the A. F. L. United Automobile
Workers in an election at the Briggs
Manufacturing Co. was "a con-
elusive answer that the u. A. w.
c. I. o. speaks for the auto workers. :"
In seven plants of the company,
which makes automobile bodies, the
U. A. VIC. I. o. received 13.301
votes; the U. A. WA. F. L. 1852,
and 978 employees voted for neither
union as their sole collective bar
gaining agent.
The election was conducted by
the National Labor Relations Board
Thursday, and the ballots were
counted late yesterday.
The only close voting was at the
Briggs plant in Evansville, Ind.
The result there was 655 votes for
the c. I. o. and 324 for the A. F. L.
The c. I. o. polled approximately
80 per cent Of the votes cast in the
six plants here. There were 81 900
workers eligible to vote.
The U. A. VIC. I. O. won five
other recent elections in automobile
and aircraft plants here, and r. ].

d1cted the same outcome September

Ter Corp. employees.
The U. A. WA. F.. L., which made

lot, has indicated it may do so in
the Chrysler election.

Dy So4NS 1hAN l. DANO
The Russo-Japanese armistice, re-
portedly to be followed shortly by g
| non-aggression pact between the
two countries, was as inevitable as
night following day.
Even after the German-Russiar
agreement-the phrase temporary
alliance might be more correct-Was
signed in Moscow, there have been
wishful thinkers in democratic coun-
tries who smiled and said wait and
see. The Russians are cagey. They
will double cross Hitler because they
cannot afford to have strong Ger
many at their gates.
When the rumors of a Russian
mobilization on the Polish-Ruma-
nian border reached these people they
were delighted. They thought they
were vindicated, that Russia was
ready to hop on the Reich as soon
as ii reached the Russo-Polish bor-
ders. There is nothing of the kind
in prospect.
X
Germany, Japan and Italy used
to be known as have nots.' Now
they are known as predatory coun-
tries. Russia follows two policies
realistic one and an idealistic one
Realistically. Stain wants to take
advantage of every possible situation
to reinstate the old boundaries OF
the Czaris Empire. BY associating
himself with Germany he is given
an excellent chance to get every
thing that Russia lost after the col
lapse of the imperial government
with the exception of Finland
Stain and his associates don't
worry about being too close to Ger
many. They know that no army
in the history of Europe has ever
been able to get solid foothold in
vast Russia. And despite the
mechanical forces of today, what
was true 200 years ago is still true.
So much for the policy of realism.
Realistically, Stain is following
the Lenin- -Trotsky ideology of prole-
tartan world revolution. The Rus
sian armies may go to Poland to
finish off the Poles without much
loss. Then they will sit tight and
wait for further developments. If
the Germans, the French and the
Italians fly at each others throat
for good. they eventually will be so
exhausted and their populations will
be so tired out that the time may
come when the four or five million
Red soldiers could begin their
march across Europe with the slogan
on their banners: 1--WE are coming
to help the proletariat shake off the
yoke of the bloodthirsty capitalistic
governments that sent them to the
slaughterhouse for their own selfish
reasons"
For the time being the practical
policies are the prevailing ones. By
associating herself with Germany.
Russia has made the present war
possible. In order to give the
japanese a free hand in Asia 1t was
necessary to reassure the somewhat
scared Toxic government that there
would be no aggression on the part
of Russia from Siberia. In order
to facilitate the future Russian &C
tivities in Europe, Stain had to be
sure that Japan would not attack
Siberia. In order further to en-
barrass Britain, Germany had to
act as a broker between Russia and
Japan, and German diplomacy once
more scored q bulls eye.

Wide Area Affected
As New September
Records Are Set

CHICAGO. Sept. 16-The Middle
West counted u dead today from its
record-breaking September heat
wave as cooling winds advancing
from the Northwest promised relief.
For the fourth consecutive day
the mercury yesterday pushed be-
yond the 100-degree mark over a
wide area. Ohio, Illinois, Indiana,
Iowa and Arkansas all reported 100
plus temperatures.
After smashing Midwest records in
wholesale quantities, the heat wave
slowly rolled eastward. A reading
of SO broke September Is records at
Northfield. VT, yesterday. Boston's
80 was only three degrees under the
seasons maximum.
Scores of schools were dismissed
again yesterday because of the blis-
tering heat. Many high school foot
ball games were postponed. Thou
sands sought relief at beaches. Sum-
mer cabins, usually locked after La
Dor Day, were reopened as city
dwellers sought to escape from the
tOrrld wave.

making them unfit for anything ex-
cept vinegar. More than 3,500000
pounds of the fruit were dumped at

Oklahoma suffered one of its worst
fall droughts in history. Some
towns were on emergency water ra-
tions because of shortage caused
by prolonged heat and lack of rain
fall.
Crops were reported damaged in
scattered areas. The corn crop was
hurried into maturity by the in
tense heat. Many rural regions re-
ported badly burned pastures.
Drought conditions prevailed in
upstate New York areas as the
temperature hit new high marks.
