ers. The Deutschland, her sister
pocket-battleship, thought it best to
return to safe German harbor.
Nazis Stress U-Boat Warfare.
But raiding with surface ships is
minor factor in Germany's sea
warfare against Britain and France.
The Germans remembered how
close they came to forcing a deci-
sion with their submarines during
the World war. They had from 60
to IS submarines ready when the
war began. For the first few weeks
of the war, they used these to ex-
cellent advantage.
Then the protective measures
which Britain developed during the
World war and since became effec-
tive. The larger ships were sent
out in convoy; airplane patrols were
created; mineields against subma-
rines were established and all the
resources. of the British navy were
modified against the U-boats.
On the whole, they have proved
effective. In six months, the British
have lost $4,000 tons of merchant
ships. At the same time, the French
lost $4,000 tons and the neutrals $780,
600 tons. This makes a total of q
little over 100000 tons.
Losses Not Important.
But nothing in these losses pro-
duced by mines and submarines
even suggests the possibility of q
decisive result. The British mer.
chant marine alone totals 81, 900, 900
tons. The British claim that de-
Quoting from their losses purchases
and new construction, their net loss
in six months of warfare has been
less than 100000 tons. 1t is also
probable that the losses will de-
crease rather than increase, since
at sea as we'll as on land defense is
proving itself stronger than attack.
Already submarine torpedoes are
far less successful in destroying
shipping than mines. The new mag.

Their popular nor efficient. The Fin
nish people are literate, sturdy and
possess strong sense of social and
political independence.
Just as the failure of Poland's de-
Tense plan undermined morale, the
success of Finland's well-organized
plan of defense has given tremen-
dous encouragement to the army,
the people and the government. But
the success of the German blitzkrieg
against Poland and the failure of
Russia's blitzkrieg against Finland
depended primarily on the differ
ence between the attacking armies.
The German army was well organ
lied, well equipped, well directed.
The Russian army is poorly organ
lied, poorly equipped and suffers
from bad generalship.
Western Lines InvulnerabIe.
Already Finland's Mannerheim
line has withstood an overwhelming
Russian assault for more than three
months. 1t is apparent, therefore,
that the much more completely Or
ganized and much deeper Maginot
and Siegfried lines would be SINH
larly invulnerable to attack. And
whereas Russia has a superiority of
something like 20 to l against Fin
land, the forces lined up on both
sides of the French frontier are
practically equal in fighting strength.
In considering the progress of this
war, we are too much inclined to
dwell on military factors. Yet dur
ing this first half-year the military
front has been less important than
the diplomatic front and the eco
nomic front. There has even been a
more continuous exchange of am
munition on the propaganda front
than between the fighting armies
themselves.
Radio and loudspeaker systems
have made it possible for belliger-
ents to talk to one another inces-
sanity, directly on the fighting lines

or indirectly through the air-waves.
Nazi leaders are apprehensive about
casualties in the propaganda battle.
They impose severe punishment on
anyone who listens to foreign
broadcast. The British and French,
on the other hand, have enough con-
fdence in their people to permit
them to listen to whatever DR.. Goeb-
bells orders said.
More Activity on Sea.
At sea, war of movement has
been possible. This is why there
has been much more activity at
sea than on land. Britain's con-
troll of the, sea has again demon
strated it's Importance. The Ger
man fleet is bottled up. Except for
submarines, the German navy and
the German Merchant Marine have
been swept from the seas.
The Near Eastern Franco-British
army of half a million men under
the leadership of General Weygandt
is now waiting in Syria, ready for
instant action against Russia or Ger
many in any part of the Balkans.
This army may yet prove the de-
cisive military factor in this war.
Allied victories in Palestine and Tur-
key presaged the collapse of the
Central Powers in 1918.
Germany's commerce raiders
were swept from the seas much
more quickly than during the World
war. The Graf Spec lies wrecked
in Montevideo harbor after being
put out of action by the combined
efforts of three small British cruis-

Enemies Stalemated After 6 Months
Because Defense Outshines Offense
By H. V. KALTENBORN

At THE end of the first six
IA months of war we find that
the major belligerents have
not yet begun to fight, while the
major neutral powers have be-
gun to fight for peace. Small
wonder that the late Senator
Borah called this a "phoney"
war.
Only in Finland is there a
major military effort and
mighty Soviet Russia does not even
admit that she has gone to war
against little Finland. When the war
began no one expected Soviet Rus
STA to participate in military opera
tons and no one expected Finland
to be invaded. On the other hand,
everyone expected an immediate
AFRAID by hundreds of bombing
planes on the capitals of Europe,
and for weeks the headlines spoke
of the coming big offensives on the
Maginot and Siegfried lines. Neither
the raids nor the offensives devel-
oped during the first half-year of
fighting. Why?
Defense Is Major Factor.
The primary reason is that in
modern war, defense is stronger
than offense. The war in Spain
showed the world that air attack
on large cities is tremendously de-
structive, but it also showed that it
is not likely to be decisive. The ex-
pense in planes, fuel, bombs and
aviators who do not return is apt to
offset the military advantages
gained in any mass bombing flight.
And the effect on neutral opinion of
the killing of thousands of women
and children, together with the de-
struction of historic monuments in
cities far away from any actual
fighting zone, might we'll be disas-
trous.
The fear of such wholesale air
raids led France and Britain to sur
render at Munich. Now, after a
year and a half of additional inten-
Slve preparation for alr-defense, they
no longer fear German attack. They
are prepared to meet it and could
make it so costly that it would prob
ably not be repeated. The success
full defense of the Mannerheim line
against the most highly concentrat-
ed Soviet military effort showed the
strength of defense Notifications in
modern war.
Why Poland Was Weak.
The two great surprises of this
war so far have been Poland's weak
ness and Finland's strength. Po-
lands weakness arose from a lack
of national unity and domination of
the illiterate masses by an aristo-
cratic caste. In the larger sense,
the government of Poland was nei-

WASHINGTON.-When Secretary
Hull issued his statement that he
had been working toward peace
through neutral nations, it caused
lifted eyebrows among neutral dip
lomats in Washington.
Gathering at cocktail party that
afternoon, Swiss diplomat asked
Dutch diplomat:
Were you the neutral nation Sec.
rotary Hull conferred WITH"
mo. Were your"
And this question, asked among
the Belgians, Norwegians, Swedes,
and other neutrals finally revealed
that no neutral representative at
the gathering had been approached
by Secretary Hull.
simultaneously word leaked from
some Of Mr.. Hull's boys that he had
not been consulted regarding the
European peace pilgrimage Of his
Undersecretary Sumner Welles, and
that he was most irate about it.
This story, widely published, gave
such an impression that Welles was
taking a mere pleasure trip, that
Mr.. Hull finally issued another state
ment covering the Welles situation.
Real fact is that there was some
truth in all of the above, but not
the whole truth. And the parts I'M
published are the most significant.
Real WeI1eS Stnrv
1t was true that Hull was taken
aback by word that his undersec-
rotary was going to Europe to dis.
cuss peace, although this idea had
been discussed in a very general
way some time before.
Anyway, when Roosevelt an.
nounced at his press conference on
February 9 that he had decided to
send Welles to Europe, Hull hurried
ly threw together a statement which
in effect made it clear that, as the
boss Of the state department, he
was not being left out in the cold.
The statement, issued the same day
as the Presidents Welles announce
ment, was whipped into shape in
about Is minutes. 1t emphasized
the American policy of discussing
peace through the neutrals.
All this tended to befog the basic
issue of peace, but on that basic is
sue, Mr.. Hull was quite correct.
Some extremely important CONVEX
Stations had taken place with the
neutrals. Only the neutral diplo-
mats didn't know about them, and
also they were not held through the
medium of the United States.
They were held through the pope,
acting in closest cooperation with
Washington. And this is the founda-
ton for the Welles trip.
For some weeks, Luigi Maglione,
papal secretary of state, has been
in touch with the neutral nations.
And more recently he has also been
in touch with the belligerents.
Jimmy in Hollywood.
Jimmy Roosevelt, now 81 years
old, is making $37,5OO year, which
is just half of the salary paid to
his father, the President.
Jimmy has posed on the Goldwyn
lot for pictures showing him peer
ing into the intimate parts of a
movie camera or supervising the
editing Of film. But this is just win
dow dressing.
Actually his job is what he might
do in any business office, whether
producing films or furniture. He
turns on the warmth Of the Roose-
welt personality, soothes the irate,
and placates the implacable. Jim

to extras.

MIR. ROOSEVELT'S
PEEVISHNESS

NEW YORK CITY.-Mr. Roose-
welt needs a rest. For long time
it has been easy to see that this 1910
campaign is going to be sizzler. It
is steaming up even before it gets
started.
Franklin Roosevelt will be the
center of OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES he is
candidate or not.
AS an issue, there is no New Deal
except the President. He has not
permitted any other figure in his
official family to rise knee-high to
his own stature.
If any did, he either cracked il
down or sewed it up in sock and
dropped it into the Bosphorus-as
the sultans did with any harem IA
vorite who got gay. He, more than
any policy or association of his, will
be the object Of attack-especially
if he runs for third term.
Franklin can give good account
Of himself in any battle, so long as
he has the upper hand and Is in his
usual mental and physical pink Of
condition.
These latter qualifications are inn
portant. In his fighting record as
President, except for setbacks on is
sues not involving his own defeat,
he has always had the upper hand
and from that position fought zest-
fully and well. In his earlier po-
litical record he was far more eau
tious and tinid.
Whether he, will enter this new
battle, as in 1886, with the enemy
on the run is too early to tell. We
don't know what the opposing cham
. pion and platform will look like, and
that is Of utmost importance in judg-
ing the quality of the coming fight.
The second factor in judging this
quality has already been mentioned
MIR. Roosevelt's physical and men
tai condition. He seems to keep in
excellent bodily shape. He has the
arms and chest Of a stroke-oar on a
varsity crew.
He also has philosophy that pro-
tects him from the mental strains Of
that killing Office which has laid
many Presidents low. It is that, in
every minute Of his working time,
he gives all and the best Of what
he has to give to his job, that an
gels could do no more and there
fore that he is not going to toss on
sleepless bed worrying about the
result.
He needs and ought to take long
and frequent vacations. Under too
long strain he tends to become
fretful and snappish. 1t leads him
to extremes Of expression and bit
ing impotence with opposing views.
Never has this been so apparent
as in recent weeks-his resentment
of perfectly reasonable inquiries by
newspaper men about his third term
intentions, the increasing acidity of
his press conferences, the aston
ishing absurdity of his debt state
ment and, as a climax, his speech
to the Youth Congress.
There he laid himself open to his
enemies by extremes of bitter and
untrue statements about the past
prosperity of the United States, the
accomplishments Of his own admin
istration and the right of assemblies
to pass resolutions on things they
"don't know anything about" His
own views are simple facts" OPP
posing opinions are "unadulterated
twaddle."
It gave John Lewis an opportunity
to take him apart just as the debt
statement put dynamite bomb in
the hands Of Tom Dewey
