good many supporters of the
Roosevelt foreign policy, both in
and out of Congress. 1t is an under
statement to say that some find
them extremely distasteful. Nor
will they make it easier to get
through the additional lend-lease
appropriation soon to be asked.
In the first place, if, as admitted,
we are not now able to send to the
British anything like the armament
material they need, 1t Is clear that
whatever material is now shipped
to Russia will diminish by that much
the supplies available for England
In the second place, the only feasi-
BILE route to Russia for us-across
the Pacific and then across the
whole length of Siberia-is enor-
mouSly greater than the distance
to London and would take enor-
mously longer.
AS the indications all are that the
decisive phase of the Russian cam
paign will occur within the next
few weeks, even though the Rus
slams continue to resist through the
winter, we cannot possibly ignore
either the distance or the time
factor.
On Our Side Today.
In the third place, there Is the
question of good faith. Stain is
not the kind of an ally with whom
this-or any country-can feel safe
He is not the kind Of fellow to tie
to. Today he is lauding the demo-
cracies, but short time ago he was
regarding them with contempt and
aversion, plotting to undermine and
destroy them. It is as impossible
to trust his word as it would be
that of Hitler
A much sounder plan would ap-
pear to be to make sure that what
weapons and war material We pro-
duce go into the hands of our
proven friends who can be trusted
neither 10 turn them against us
nor turn them over to any one who
would.
The most effective thing for us
10 do now is TO increase as much
as we can as fast as We can the
stuff We are sending to the British
and TO use our navy to see that
1t gets to England. This does not
mean abandonment of Russia. BY
no means. The more We send TO
England with which to fight Hitler
the less he will be able to concen-
trate on Russian demolition The
force of his Russian attack will be
weakened IN proportion to the in
creased quantity Of weapons we put
in the hands of the British.
That is the way to help Russia
without getting too close and cc~1ial
with sinister group of men whose
friendship is as false as their hearts
are black. II is the way TO avoid
the chance of becoming the COM
plete national sap Of all history.

By CONSTANTINE BROWN.

From the few threads which
British and American diplomatic
intelligence officers have been
able to pick up, it appears that
the conference between Musso-
lini and Hitler on the eastern
front dealt principally with the
means of preventing Japan from
hopping off the Axis bandwagon
and the fall and winter campaign
in the event the Russian front
becomes stabilized.
Little is known about what
tangible offers the dictators
could make to encircled Japan.
The situation, as seen from here,
is such that unless the European
branch of the Axis can engage in
a major Atlantic operation which
would require the presence OF a
large portion of the American
fleet, there is nothing that Ger
many and Italy can do to relieve
the pressure on the Nipponese
Empire.
AS far as the u. S. S. r. is
concerned the situation appears
as follows: The Soviet armies
are being badly hammered by
the German Wehrmacht. But
there are only five more weeks

periority in planes, tanks and mu-
nltions generally.
All military authorities agree on
! this formula. Once it is accepted
! as true-and it must be-then it
is perfectly clear that whether or
not We take the final steps that
make us an active belligerent, we
| have taken over the war. The busi-
/ ness of defeating Hitler has become
primarily our business. That is too
plain TO dispute. Hitler can only
! be crushed if and when the British
achieve armament superiority. The
British can achieve armament su-
periority only through the United
States. Hence, it is up to us. We
have assumed the burden. 1t is our
war now and we are in it I'D to our
neck. There is no use lodging so
plain a fact.
Short of Our Promise.
These things being so, obviously,
the sooner we provide the British
with armament superiority the bet
ter for us, for them, for the world.
The overwhelming necessity is to
give them what they need to win as
quickly as it is humanity possible.
That has been true since the lease
lend bill passed. II was on that
day that we Enthusiastically took the
war over. But no one will claim that
since that day We have done all we
could-or should. The loss through
strikes of 10000 900 man days in seven
months on armament contracts
alone makes any such contention
absurd.
By a very vide margin, We have
fallen short of our promises. Our
armament production for the Brit
lsh is far below what our President
advertised it would be- Compared
with the money available and the
time which has elapsed, the amount
of supplies delivered has been
trivial. The official figures prove
this assertion. However, that has
not prevented us from making more
and still larger promises.
The latest of these promises are
being made to Russia. Assurances
have been given the Soviet Union
of unlimited supplies covering a
wide variety of articles. The Presi-
dent says the Russians can pay for
these, but Mr.. Jesse Jones, with
Federal billions to lend, speaks of
making Russia a loan. For security
he says he might take their
"promissory note"
1t is true that, at the moment,
Russia is our ally and that her battle
against the Hitler invasion Is of
great service to the cause to which
we are committed. Nevertheless,
these lavish promises of money, mu-
nitions and materials fail to thrill

mans can continue to pound the
Russian lines. Heavy rains
start in October. The Russian
military leaders are following an
intelligent strategy. They are
resisting the Germans with ev-
cry means at their disposal in an
effort TO wear out the enemy.
They are trying to counter the
German strategy which consists
in avoiding frontal attacks
against fortified positions and
making large detours to attain
objectives. This strategy saves
lives and war supplies but pro-
longs operations.
Withdraw in Good Order.
The Russians have sufficient
man power to oppose these de-
tours; they are counterattacking
all the time. But when the sit
uation in certain sector appears
hopeless. they withdraw in good
order. Thus on the southern
front Marshal Budyenny-a for
mer non commissioned Cossack
officer in the Czarist army who
has developed into a frst-class
strategist-managed to save at
least Is per cent Of his army Of
100000 men when he could no
longer oppose the Nazi on
slaughts.
Budyennv has ordered the
trapped troops at Odessa to resist
to the last man and has with
drawn across the Dnieper pre-
pairing himself for a winter cam
paign.

the position of good-natured
neighbors handing out gifts to
members of the same church.
Actually, Britain is our own
first line of defense and is hold
ing the fort while We get ready.
The idea that she will be able to
win this war for herself, for us,
and for all the rest of the would
be independent European peo-
Piles, while we act merely as a
factory and granary is piece of
wishful thinking quite unsup-
ported by a. study of realities.
Either we intend that Germany
shall not accomplish her OBJ
jectiveS, in which case we should
make complete common cause
with all her available enemies,
or we do not. A policy of be-
ing neither in nor out can only
involve us in a situation where
we will lose however the war
turns out. For if Britain should
win the war with us as sort of
colonial source of supply. she
could pay us back for our benevo-
lence and even the Poles, who
have spilled the blood of thou
sands of their race, will have
more rights in any settlement
than we, who have merely tried
to buy our way in with materials
and platitudes.
Position Not Neutral.
Our position is not neutral, nor
could it be neutral. But the
American people as whole still
do not clearly understand why
it could not be neutral The
clear-cut question has to be put:
Have we a life and death inter-
est in the outcome of this war?
Were the answer to have been
no, We should have held COM
pletely sloof. II the answer is
yes, then We should not make
our national destiny depend upon
the British nor the Russians, but
upon ourselves, in such alliances
as would give us complete equal
ity and a leading position.
Actually, and viewed with the
coolest reality, our most vital
interests are deeply involved.
The Government, the Army and
the Navy all know this. But
Congress certainly does not know
it, and the instruments of edu-
cation are unwilling to use forth
right words, because they fear
the Congress and the people. But
the people have been kidded
along until we have reached
political situation where every
one fears to take real leadership.
Apparently the President does
not believe that the people are
capable of enduring the full
truth. Somehow, by hook or by
crook, things must be broken to
them gently, as though the Amer
lean people were not grown up
and must be coddled. The pub
lie is treated like patient who
must be spared shock, and this
treatment actually induces
pathological state of mind, and
a deep mistrust.
War for World Domination.
Politicians, whether in high
places or low, do not like to bear
the onus of breaking bad news.
In every single democracy they
have kept the people from real
izing their full situation until the
public morale has disintegrated.
Nation after nation has per-
ished of the concept measures
short Of; has persisted in the
hope of a miracle, or in igno-
rance of reality.
If one accepts Mr.. Lindbergh's
advice and is as 'impersonal as

American situation as coldly as
military scientist must view it,
the desperate nature of our po-
sition becomes clear. But igno-

the Sovlets can carry on the fight

tary point of view.
1t Is true that the most impor-
tant factories Of the republics are
situated in Western Russia. But
in the last few years a number
of arms factories have been
erected on the eastern slopes of
the Ural mountains.
Thus the Ufa airplane fac
tory which in 1888 used to make
a few planes, has now a produc-
ton capacity of about $50 planes
a month. The farm implement
factories at Kazen and Kuy-
hishev on the Volga have now
been fooled TO produce tanks,
while the industrial center of
Stallngrad, where most Of the
tooling purchased during the last
three years from the United
States has been transported, is
producing cannon and machine
guns.
Rail Link Completed.
Even if the whole important
industrial area of the west were
to fall into the hands of the
Germans, the Soviet armies can
continue to fight. Their imme-
diate needs will be supplied from
their own factories in the East
until such time when war materi-
ais from the United States
reaches them either by way of
Siberia or through newly occu-
pied Iran via the Persian gulf.
In the Far East the Russians
have worked under the cover of
utmost secrecy. Only recently
have We found out that the 1900

a problem, the fact that both
these are outside the reach of

solved.
