Newspapers Demand
End Of Neutrality
Campaign for Anti-HitIer

On Subversive Activities

BUENOS AIRES, Argentina, Aug.
30.-The four most influential news
papers in Buenos Aires chorused a
demand today that Acting Presi-
dent Ramon S. Castillo scrap his
policy of strict neutrality toward
ALL and throw Argentina's weight
into the fight against Nazi influence
in the New World.
This concerted campaign arose
as result of the first report of the
Congressional Committee investi-
ge4ing subversive activities, which
lied German Ambassador Edmund
van Tnermann among alleged yio-
lators of Argentine laws.
The newspapers, whose action
was considered in Informed quarters
as a possible sign to the nations
future course in relation to the war,
included the conservative La Nacion,
Independent Liberal La Prensa,
Pro-democratic El Mundo and La
Critica.
Call for Nazi Break Up.
All called on the executive power
to break up the Nazi political and
economic machine reported by the
committee as existing in this coun-
try and to impose punishment ac-
cordingly.
Public powers can not vacillate, ?"
said La Nacion. The signing Of
the report by all members (of the
Congressional Committee) belong
ing to different political sectors is
clear indication that there is no

that he can control the whole
country? And will he be able to
organize the resources and the
principal strategic positions of the
Soviet so that he can move on to
new conquests?
1t is in the Russian theater that
the bloodiest losses of the war are
taking place.
World War Loss Far Greater.
But losses in killed, wounded and
missing in this war, while probably
close to 100000, are far short of
the $1,000, 900 for all nations In the
four years OF the World War.
German claims of having cap
tured 1,250,O00 Russians and in
f1icted 3,75O000 casualties, and Rus
sian estimates of 100000 German
dead and wounded may be safely
written down as exaggerations, in
the opinion of r1erly all observers.
Neither Russians nor Germans
have estimated that more than g.
100000 men were engaged on the
entire front. The capture, killing
and wounding of 100000 Russians
and Germans would have left but
1000, 900 men to continue the war.
Even the lower estimates of some
neutral quarters of nearly 1000, 900
German casualties and much greater
Russian losses probably would mean

severe as those. The year has seen
these developments favorable to
their cause:
/. Acquisition of powerful ally
in Soviet Russia when Germany
launched the invasion of the East
The quality of that ally. as attested
by the stubborn resistance of the
Red Army, has surprised a great
many observers.
2. Lease-lend legislation of the
United States.
3. The battle of Britain, appearing
in retrospect, to have been the very
first setback suffered in the war by
Adolf Hitler.
4. The conquest of East Africa,
the mauling given the Italian fleet,
and the destruction of an army in
Libya adding up to the reduction
of Mussolini to a decidedly second
ary factor in the war.
S. The emergence of the r. A. F.
as growing offensive weapon
against Germany.
s. Squelching of an incipient Ger
man threat in the Middle East by
the Iraq action.
7. Further consolidation of the
British Middle East position by oc-
cupation of Syria against French
resistance.

one of every three Germans on the
front had been killed, wounded or
captured (the Russians do not
lay claim to huge blocks of pris-
oners) and that about one out Of
every five or six Russians had met
similar fate.
Military experience does not tea n
that the Germans could suffer such
casualties and go on attacking, and
it is probable that, if the Russians
had so suffered. the resulting lapse
in morale would be showing up on
the war maps.
The German advance now Is
almost straight line across western
Russia. There is no giant spearhead
of 100 miles or SO, such as the Ger
mans like to drive through a de-
moralized defense.
Round Up Guerrillas.
The encouragement of guerrilla
warfare by the Soviet government
doubtless has caused German officers
to round up some able-bodied men
in conquered territory, whether
they were in uniform or not. II
1,250,0O0 Russians are being fed in
German prison camps, the Germans
doubtless are content for statistical
purposes to count them as prisoners
of war without worrying too much
about their status as soldiers or
civilians.

labor have been announced this
week. The largest registration OF
women yet to be attempted will take
place in September and October.
This will coincide with the military
registration of all men under "a,
irrespective of their present occu-
patton whether skilled or unskilled.
The women will be drafted TO re-
place those in essential industries.
The T. U. C. probably will dis
cuss this further dilution of skilled
labor but there is not expected to
be more than a perfunctory objec-
ton for the sake of the record. The
ministry of labor's organization is
now reaching peak where the
transfer from nonessential indus
tries to munition factories is being
carried out efficiently and smoothly.
Example of Compulsory Power.
One Lancashire clothing factory
was informed few weeks ago that
1,600 girls must be discharged. The
day they received their dismissal
notice they were informed that
ministry of labor medical inspector
and interviewer would be there the
following day to register them for
munitions work. Those not Sc
lected were promised to be kept on
in the clothing factory. This is
an example of the organization
which has been gradually built up
to enable the fullest use of COM
pulsory powers.
The T. U. C. delegations to the
United States will undoubtedly be
able to discuss with American labor
and Government leaders the meas
ures which Britain has taken to step
up production and which the United
States might find helpful These
include an arbitration board which
has functioned satisfactorily in the
toughest districts here and averted
manifold labor troubles. T. U. C.
leaders may be effective in bringing
about closer coordination of the
American and British war efforts.

1t seems probably, then. that the
total would stand at 100000 or
more.
Furthermore, the Japanese have
announced that their own losses in
the four year old Chinese war stand
at 1Os,250 killed and that the
Chinese have suffered 2,o15, 900 IA
talities.
The war also has resulted in ma
terial losses of shipping Of around
100000 tons of all nations, and
| thousands of planes and tanks.
The Germans have claimed the
destruction of $4,000 Russian tanks,
and the Russians say they have
destroyed 5000 Nazi tanks.
The Germans declare they have
shot down 1880 Russian planes,
and the Russians say they have dis
posed of 5000 German planes.
British tabulations place total
losses Of German planes for all

an independent estimate of these
claims, nor are there figures for
materiel losses in Germany's other

Secret Polish Calendar HELPS
Spread Resistance to Ndzis
Ten Commandments of Mother Poland
And Exhortutions Passed From Hand to Hand

w. Honor Poland, thy mother
land, as thy own mother.
V. Fight persistently with Poland's
enemies to thy last breath, to the
last drop Of blood in thy veins.
vi. Struggle with thy own COM
plaisancy and cowardice. Behold a
skunk cannot be a Pole.
VII. Be without mercy to them
that betray the Polish name.
VIII. Always and everywhere
boldly admit that thou art Pole.
TX. Suffer none to have doubts
as to Poland.
x. Let no one insult Poland, be-
little her merits and greatness, her
achievement and majesty. Thou
shall love Poland above all else,
save only God. Thou shalt love her
more than thyself.
Evening star., 1941-08-31

Poles today mark the end of the
second year of the war that began
with German invasion of their
country by reference to THE Pol
ish Calendar" a secret document
listing dates and spreading
throughout Poland the spirit OF re-
sistance to the German con-
querors.
The Polish Calendar contains
anti-Nazi quotations for every
month of the year and the Ten
Commandments" of Mother Po-
land" The literature is usually
printed on pieces of paper about l
inch square-small enough to pass
from person to person so that the
German authorities will not dis
cover it.
"On September 1. 1899, the Ger
mans like gang of thieves invaded
your country" the exhortation for
September goes. Remember this
date till the end of your life. Talk
about it to your children and grand
children lest as long as Poland and
the world exist they forget the
wrong. Only the whip will teach
the Germans humility"
To Army on "Inner Front"
The monthly exhortations and the
10 commandments were made
available to The Star yesterday by
the Polish Embassy here. The CAL
endar is one of the media used in
the "V" campaign that spreads in
different ways across the whole ex-
tent of captive Europe.
The exhortations are addressed to
the Polish Army fighting on the
inner front"-an army which con-
sists of the men, women and chill
dren civilians in Poland who are
resisting the invader, even if only
passively, and are working for the
resurrection of Polish independence.
For October the exhortation Is
reminiscent of the words of the
Delphic oracle:
"As seed sown by you must wait
for the spring to grow-so the deeds
you have done to Poland must wait
their ingathering. Know that the
commonwealth will repay both good
and bad, fall measure, pressed down
and running over"
For November:
Winter is drawing near. Pre-
pare the Polish catechism for the
long winter evenings for yourself
and your family. Teach the chill
dren enthusiasm for strife. Tell
them that to live for Poland and
to die for her is the greatest honor
and glory"
For December:
I'm few days the year will be
over. Has it passed for you as
any other? If you have understood
that the new Poland does not mean
a government OF factions, of tyr
amy, but of justice and sacrifice,
clasp your hands and thank God.
Ask Him also that He allow you in
the coming year to take active part
in the work for the might of Po-
land"
The Ten Commandments.
The ten commandments of Moth
er Poland" printed in the calen-
dar as constant reminders that
Poland is in foreign hands, are
these:
I. Thou shalt have no other earth
ly love above me.
II. Thou shalt not take the name
of Poland for thine own glory,
career or reward.
III. Remember that thou shalt
give without hesitation unto Poland
thy possessions, thy personal hap
piness and thy life.

Eden Issues Call
For Sharp Step-up
In War Production
More Effort and Sacrifice
Urged in Address to
Coventry Workers
Nv the Associated Press.

BY lne Associated Press
LONDON, Aug. 30. - Anthony
Eden, foreign secretary, pointed out
advantages for Europe of Roose-
velt-C Churchill peace over one de-
vised by Hitler and Mussolini today
but declared the output of war ma
: terial by Britain, her allies and the
United States is far short of needs
if victory is to be won.
In a speech before munitions
workers at Coventry, Mr.. Eden said
''the struggle will finally be decid
ed" in the sphere of production, and
he called for further efforts and
further sacrifices for "the immense
effort that lies ahead in the field of
production"
In his warning, Mr. Eden dis
closed that "our first armored di-
vision never got to France until after
the evacuation of Dunkerque. 1t was
not ready"
Arms Needs to Increase.
ArmamentS needs now not ade-
uuately filled will grow even great
er, Mr.. Eden said, "as the tide of
war sweeps wider until it engulfs the
world"
Accepting the challenge of the
declaration by Hitler and MusSolini
after their secret conference on the
eastern front this week, Mr.. Eden
said the Roosevelt Churchill eight
point Atlantic formula in contrast
"establiShes principles which will be
equally valid for all nations" and
Excludes all idea of hegemony or
zone leadership in the east or west. =
But the Roosevelt Churchill pro-
gram will require the collaboration
OF us ALL" he added.
"All over the world" he told the
munitions workers, I'VE need your
weapons-in Russia, in the Far
East, in Libya and over Germany. !"
Both Turkey and Poland, the lat
ter "our gallant ally on the battle
field" will be called on to play IAN
Important role in international af-
fairs after the war" Mr.. Eden de-
clared.
Russia. he said has declared to
Turkey that it would observe the
territorial integrity of the Turkish
republic and render Turkey every
help and assistance in the event of
her being attacked by any European
power"
Must Supply Russians.
The Russian soldier, said Mr..
Eden, is giving everything" for
cause that is "ours as well as his"
Britain must help supply the needs
of the Russian forces, he said, add
ing that here is a call to duty
which we cannot fall
ITO be short of materials is the
most costly method of waging wal"
MIR. Eden told his audience, adding
that Britain cannot be content "un-
til our men command in every army
weapons which in design and execu-
ton are fully the match for the
best the enemy can do"
OF the British-Russian interven-
ton in Iran this week Mr.. Eden
said the Allies "covet neither Iran
ian lands nor wealth" and they
know that "a strong, independent
Iran is an essential element in the
stability of the Middle East"
"As soon as military conditions
permit" he said, the Russian and
British forces will be withdrawn
from Iran. The conditions which
Russia and Britain will impose on
Iran will mot be extravagant and
they of course will be only tempo
fary," Mr.. Eden declared.
