out the truth through any help from
the board. For the board doesn't
let him petition unless there are
rival unions.
The union which claims the ma
iority isn't compelled to show as
AGAINST an unorganized group,
whether it has a majority, nor can
il be compelled to desiSt from rals-
ing the issue every few weeks. For.
unless the board steps in and orders
an election-which is what this cor
respondent has been advocating as
a means of making collective bar
gaining machinery effective-there
can be no immediate counting Oh
noses in a shop and hence condi-
tions can be kept upset indefinitely.
The boards policy in insisting that
unfair labor practice charges be dis
nosed of before elections are ordered
merely prolongs the agitation. For
it takes a long while to handle
these charges in hearings and
through the courts, when the whole
issue could have been resolved at
the outset by a mandatory electlon
which the board really has power to
effectuate now under the present
act. If it be charged that this works
against a union which hasn't at
tanned at the time enough members
for a majority rule, then the board
could specify that elections can be
held every six months on a given
date from the time the issue is re-
solved. The boards present policy
merely has the effect of collusion
with labor organizers until pro-
pitious moment for the holding OF
an election and then the board
freezes the situation for at least a
year and some times longer.
The fact remains that nothing of
a truly effective nature is being done

best to check any further Soviet

@. You state that Stain is DEATH
ly afraid of Hitler. Why, then,
did he approve of the latter's attack
on Poland, and then later join in
it? Wouldn't strong buffer state
between Russia and Germany have
served Stains cause better?
JOHN JAKUSZ GOSTOMSKI,
Milwaukee.
A. Stains fear of Hitler is in
no way contradictory to his share in
the partition of Poland. After all,
the Kremlin was most anxious to see
NaZi Germany plunge into war in
the opposite direction from Russia,
and Stain had no objection to
getting his slice of Poland at the
same time.
@. Why do you condemn Sweden
for following a policy which this
country, in sending "au aid short
of war" adopts toward Britain?
A. I have not sought so much
to condemn Sweden as to point out
that Sweden's policy of 'all aid short
of war" however human and under
standable, has proved very costly to
present and future prospects for
truly independent and parliament
tary government in Sweden. I also
tired to make 1t clear that certain
policies Of the Scandinavian coun-
tries and certain Scandinavian
errors are strikingly like those which
many Americans regard as our best
assurance of safety.
O. have lately read that the
United States has refused to loan
Finland sufficient funds to tide the
country over the winter and that the
Firms will Starve before another
crop time. Is there anything an
average uninf1uential citizen can do
to impress upon the Government the
necessity for aiding these heroic
people? There seems to be no end
OF loans and benefits for other hard
pressed countries-all worthy-but
surely they are not more hard
pressed or more worthy than the
Firms. ROSE COLEMAN,
Sandwich, Ill.
A. Next to Spain, Finland today
is probably the hungriest country
in Europe. 1t is true that the Films
need very badly a loan of about
S8,000,000 I am sure the American
people would favor a loan to help
feed the Firms if only they were in
formed about Finland's truly urgent
need.
@. Dc you really believe Hitler
has aversions towards the United
States, or do you think he is fighting
battle that is his own affair?
ROBERT OLSEN,
Chicago.
A. Hitler's disdain and animosity
for the United States is recorded
plainly in his "Mein kampf" and in
many passages of his speeches.
Since the Nazis have swallowed II
countries so far it seems that Hit

Observer Gives Views on Why Hitler
Didn't Attuck Russio Year AGO

Leland Stope continues today
to dnS,Der questions asked by
readers concerning the series OF
articles he tDrote tollotOing his
return from the European battle
fronts.
Some readers asked questions
on topics far removed from the
subjects OF Mr.. StoWe's articles
and these tUere not ansDered, as
they were considered outside the
scope OF the series.
@. If little Sweden's two divisions
could have wiped out Russian Boil
shevism, why couldn't and didn't
Germany, with one or two panzer
divisions, blitzkrieg Russia, thereby
eliminating possible war with the
Soviets in the future, which you say
is inevitable anyway?
EDWARD E. OSBERG,
Chicago.
A. In the winter Of 1910 it was
not at all to the interest Of Hitler
to attack Russia when all of Ger
many's military and economic re-
sources were being modified for
Hitlers invasion of Norway, the Low
Countries and France in the spring.
Attacking Russia at that time would
have been like heavyweight pitch
ing into one of the spectators when
he was already in the ring with q
fellow to whom he had not yet de-
livered one staggering blow on the
jaw. After all, you fight your main
opponent first. then take on smaller
guys at your leisure.
@. If, as you say, Stain Is in
deadly fear of NaZi aggression, why
do the Communists here work
against assistance to Britain and in
Britain work for negotiated peace?
How does this assist Stain?
MRS. DAVID WODLINGER.
Chicago.
A. The Communists in America
are following their party line. The
party line dictated from Moscow
has been to present Soviet Russia
as great champion Of peace and as
regime dedicated to neutrality.
The Communists in England and
the United States preach an entire
" different doctrine fro mthat which
Communists are preaching now in
Rumania and Bulgaria and have
been for many months. In the Bal
kan countries the Communist party
line is resistant to Nazi expansion
and sabotages Nazi military and
economic activities at every point
During the first year of the war
Stain sought to hamper French
and British efforts, believing that
the Allies had the advantage. In
the past six months Soviety policy
in Europe has changed greatly
even though Communists in Amer
lea may continue to champion a ne
gotiated peace In the hope OF win
ming many American pacifists and
iso;ationists into the Stalinist fold.
After all Bolshevists are working
with their eyes a long way ahead
and they suit their tactics to the
soil they are tilling.
@. Do you think Russia will again
attack Finland with a view TO in
cooperating it into the Soviet union7
If so. what would be the attitude
of Hitler towards such move?
EDWARD SCHATZ,

to grab the rest of Finland, but he

before starting another invasion. !

A number of German mechanical
units have filtered through Spain to Span
lsh Africa. Thus the force which the
Spaniards have in the Riff is sufficiently
important to make the French general
pause and think things over.
In the light of these facts, the question
of the cooperation between the French
and the British in Africa must be set
aside.
The important thing is whether the
French are going to permit the Germans
to use their African ports as bases of
operations.
Once more the problem which con-
fronts France like it confronts Turkey and
