Everyone had expected the Sec
ond lease-lend bill of six billions of
dollars to pass the house, but the
vote, 328-67, was considerable of a
surprise to the anti-interventionists,
who had made part of the fight a
battle against aid to Russia.
The smashing victory for the pro-
ponents of the Presidents lease lend
policy, and for implementing it with
huge sum was repeated in the de-
feat of the no-aid-to-Russia amend
ment.
This was knocked off handily by
vote of 1927. The first lease-lend
bill had been passed 1865. Most
opponents of the administration held
that the country had made known
its sentiments at the time of the
passage of the first bill.
They gained only II votes in the
second "go-around." 1t was being
freely predicted that there would be
a third request from the White House
for more billions next March.
Representative Rich offered the
amendment which would have
barred R'~sia, and which went down
on G vote.

VIERECK:
Revelations

What many believed to be true,
that Nazi agents in the United
States were using the non-interven-
tionists, the isolationists and other
enemies of the Presidents foreign
policy for their own ends was de-
clared to be a fact by George Syl-
vester Viereck, author, poet and
registered Nazi agent.
Viereck was being tried in Wash
ington on charges that he had not
told the state department the whole
story about his activities.
It was perhaps a joke, but at all
events sensation when, at the out
set of his trial, he was asked to
"name his associates" and he list
ed two assistants of Secretary Hull,
Joseph Davies, former ambassador
to Russia, and William Phillips,
now ambassador to Rome.
The nub of the case against
Viereck was that he listed his activ-
tiles only as an employee of the Ger
man library of information; as cor
respondent for Munich newspaper.
The library had been closed down
by the government for alleged i'm
proper activities.
The prosecution had maintained
that Viereck failed to mention his
connection with Flanders Hall, Inc,
book publishers, or the Make Europe
Pay War Debts committee. The
committee charged that Viereck had
financed the latter.
Viereck had admitted that he had
'sused'' isolationists and their organ
izations, but denied it was inprop-
er. There were many who believed
that many non interventionist
groups were honest enough in their
intentions but that they were being
fused" by Nazi agents. Viereck
seemed to have confirmed this.

RUSSIANS:
Deep Trouble

AS the Nazi blitz moved into high
gear on the central and south fronts
of the great battle of the east front,
the question began to be seriously
asked whether Russia, like France,
Greece and so many other nations,
was going to be forced out of the
war as a combatant, whiting before
the heat and ferocity of the Nazi
war machine.
Indeed, when the German spear
heads had been announced IS miles
away from Moscow, the stories of
peace and truce offers began to
come over the cables, and one of
them even declared that Stain was
considering an armistice.
However, these rumorS were
promptly denied from Berlin, Italy,
London and Moscow, the Axis de-
malls stating that detectives were
far from being reached, and London
and Moscow sources declaring the
Russians were still able to fight.
Be that as it may, it was obvious
that the crisis was being reached,
and that once again the great man.
power of Russia must decide If it
were better to give in to the Nazi,
or to battle it out as the Chinese
did against the Japs.
Few believed that Germany or any
group of European powers could
finally defeat Russia with the back
ing of England and the United
States, provided Russia were willing
to fight the sort of rear-guard ac-
ton that China used with such sue
cess.
But whether the willingness was
there, or the philosophical tempera-
ment needed for such defense was
a question.
Hartman, American envoy to the
u. S. mission to Moscow, answered
it this way:
81 believe the leaders of Russia
will lead the people to fight on"
Beaverbrook felt the same way.

CHINA:
On the Move

Chungking issued reports showing
that her military effort was begin
ming to shove the Japanese back
toward the coast.
The town of Ichang, high-water
mark of the japanese advance into
China was reported recaptured, and
the garrison Of 1000 Nipponese sur
rounded and placed under artillery
fire in fortress.
A Japanese plane passed over
head, dropping eight men in para
chutes, evidently with orders for the
garrison. The Chinese said they cap
tured two and shot six to death be-
fore they landed.
Subsequent reports had declared
that the Japanese were on the re-
treat in Human Province, and that
the drive toward Changsha, impor-
tant objective, had been put into re-
verse.
Two-thirds of the Japanese adj
vance in this province had been
wiped out, the reports stated.
Chungking was in a state of wild
celebration at the news.

STRIKES:
Menace Again

Though the strike front in the
United States had been at quiet
ebb for some time, the labor situa-
ton was anything but peaceful in
the United States, and seething I'M
der the surface were many diff
culties that had not yet fared into
strikes.
Barring a couple of rubber fac
tory troubles and a small row in
an airplane accessory plant, the
Mediation Board was having a rela-
lively easy time of it.
But the type of thing that was
worrying the OPM was the Detroit
case, in which on Sidney Hillman's
recommendation, a contract was
withheld from the low bidder on the
ground that he was unfair to the
building trades.
Now came the protest from CLIO.
quarters that Hillman favored the
ALL. building unions and the
working out of this case in Detroit
was envisioned by many labor lead
ers as packed with dynamite for
labor peace.
An oddly in the situation was an
article in the Daily Worker, Com
munist daily, entitled every Fac
tory Part of the Battle Front
Against Hitler" and continuing:
Interference with production Of
needed war materials can only help
Hitler and weaken the United
States"
This was loud outcry against
strikes-and coming from the chief
Communist paper.
All union circles agreed that a
Hitler victory would mean dis
aster to organized labor, yet during
Russia's partnership with Hitler the
Communists had been accused of
obstructing the defense effort-now
they were not only aiding it, but
eschewing strikes.

NAVY:
Takes Prisoners

The United States came its closest
to actual participation in the war
when the navy announced that it
had taken prisoner about 20
''Nazis," whether actual German
citizens or Norwegians under Ger
man domination was not immediate
ly clear.
The American naval patrol, in
GLIDING Iceland and Greenland in its
orbit, was searching the coastline
of the latter island for an alleged
German submarine base when it
came upon small Norwegian YES
sci.
The ship was stopped, questions
were put to its crew and the vessel
was thoroughly searched. Not only
did the navy announce that it was
determined that the men were Nazi
agents under the direction of the
Gestapo, but the questioning led to
the finding of radio station set up
on the mainland of Greenland.
This station, apparently, was being
set up by the Germans, the report
nau stated, 1Or the purpose OF DrOao-
casting weather information to the
NaZis.
The purpose might have been for
the flights of planes that had been
"strafng" shipping in the north At
lantic; it might have been for guild
ance of submarines; it might have
been to give locations of lease-lend
ships to surface raiders, planes or
U-boats.
At all events ship, crew and radio
station were all taken over by the
navy, which announced that all were
on their way to the United States.
It had been the first move of this
type since President Roosevelt had
issued the "shoot on sight" order.

JAPAN:
Moues Again

Considerable alarm about the
Pacific situation was caused when
Tokyo made another move associat-
ed with her expansion into Indo
China.
The japanese demanded control
of the Indo Chinese railway system.
They also had demanded the right
to control customs collections and
postal censorship.
At the same time the Japanese
demanded the arsenal at Saigon,
and this was considered highly sig
nifcant because at this arsenal the
French had set up what was re-
garded as the most powerful radio
direction-finding outfits in the Orient.
The Japanese armed forces in
Indo China were continuing their
maneuvers along the Thailand from
tier, back of which, and in Malaga,
there were heavy concentrations of
British troops.
The Saigon moves, the British
said, were being closely watched,
because of the likelihood that if any
plane attacks were to be made
against Singapore or Manila, Saigon
would be the proper hopping-off
spot.

MATERIAL AID:
But Ho1U?

The Soviet crisis left the lease
lend ideas of Britain and this coun-
try very much "out on limb
That both countries were dispatch
ing aid was apparent. But how much
and how long were difficult prob
lens.
"Barkis was within" but the Ira
Man railway from the head of the
Persian gulf to the shores of the
Caspian sea, thence into boats and
again to Russian railways and roads
in the Caucasus seemed the only
practicable route.
Britain had material to give and
was giving it-not only planes but
squadrons and pilots and gunners.
Much of this was of the heavier
types which could be flown direct
to the scene of service, put into ac-
ton and, if surviving an eventual
Russian defeat, presumably could
be saved.
But much of it, such as tanks and
guns, had to be shipped in. The
British took the attitude that they
were not only willing to give of their
own store, but of the American
lease-lend store. They said, in eff
feet:
1--WE get it from the United States
this way, and we shall do for Russia
what the United States is doing for
u.s."
Britain felt that the Americans
should give what they could, but the

AN INSIDE STORY

4
| Word trickling back to the diplo-
matte corps from Germany indi-
Gates that Hitler is beginning to
realize that the United States means
business, and that he made tragic
mistake in not accepting the advice
OF his more conservative diplomats
who warned him of this in the first
place.
In fact, the inside story, which
now can be told, is one of the most
tragic of the war. Possibly if it had
not been for overweening personal
jealousies the war might even have
been prevented.
What happened was that when
Hans Dieckhoff, German ambassa-
dor to Washington, returned to Ber-
lin in 1888, he brought back strong
report that the United States would
enter the war eventually if Germany
became the o. rressor. He was
ready to warn 1T Germany faced
a repetition of 1917-18. But Foreign
| Minister Won Ribbentrop would not
let him see Hitler.
Ribbentrop, probably the most
ambitious man around der Fuehrer
and great friend of Himmler,
wanted to be the funnel for all adj
vice going to Hitler. Also he was
feeding him his own kind of agrees
sive advice, not the cooling caution
of Ambassador Dieckhoff.
In the same cautious school with
the ambassador were Baron Won
Neurath, recently ousted as COVER
nor of Czechoslovakia because of
his moderate views; Hjalmar
Schacht, governor of the Reichs-
bank, now in virtual retirement;
and Capt. Fritz Wiedemann, Hitler's
former commander and more re-
Gently consul general at San Fran
cisco. Even Field Marshal Goer-
ing was much more moderate than
Won Ribbentrop.
Czech Putsch Delayed.
1t was Captain Wiedemann, who,
around May, 1888, chiefly persuaded
Hitler not to invade Czechoslovakia.
He was then Hitler's military aide
and attended meeting of der
Fuehrer's inner advisers at which
general staff advised caution. Final
ly Hitler, exasperated, threw up his
arms and ordered them all out of the
room. But Wiedemann stayed be-
hind, and finally persuaded his chief
to delay the march into Cezchoslo-
vakia at least until the fall of 1888
which was done.
Later, it was Wiedemann and his
moderates who persuaded Hitler to
receive Chamberlain and Daladier
at Munich. But by this time it was
too late for Ambassador Dieckhoff
to tell his story.
Ribbentrop never forgave Wiede-
mann for this. Also his Wanting
ambition would permit no rival close
to Hitler. So, shortly thereafter, he
got Wiedemann transferred to dis
tant and relatively unimportant
German consulate in the U.S.A.
Later when Wiedemann was deport-
ed from this country, it is signifi-
cant that Ribbentrop once again
transferred him as far as possible
from Berlin-this time to Tientsin,
China.
The foreign minister of Germany
wants no moderates around.
