a cessation Of steps that have
been really in defense Of this
country and in the interest of
carrying out the very policies
laid down by the Congress itself.
What is to be gained by 1t?
Congress even now Is strug-
Cling with the measure to extend
the period of service of draftees
and National Guardsmen beyond
the u months fixed in the orig
inal draft act-unless national
peril made a longer period nee
essary. Are these Republican
leaders seeking to affect the vote
on that important measure? II
so, they are doing bad business
for the country. To break down
the Army which has been trained
for the last year is certainly not
a move in the interests OF ma
tional defense-no matter how
good a move 1t may be toward
getting votes.

party In power-the Vichy gov
ernment-which seems bent on
giving aid to the Nazis, with the
hope that the party will stay
in power. The leaders are think
ing of retaining their positions OF
power, which they certainly Will
not be able to do If the NaziS are
defeated. 1t is just another ex-
ample of selfish party politics.

The Political Mill
Statement by IS Out-of- Office Republicans
CotopuIts Foreign Policy Into Portisonship

American people, as Americans
except for the avowed Commu-
nists and their fellow travellers"
in this country-are any more
enamored OF the Russian Soviet
ideas of government. 1t means
that it is at least the part Of wis
dom to help, If possible, in a
direct way to bring about the
defeat of the Nazi war machine.
This country has not gone into
a shooting war-yet. Nor will
it without the constitutional
sanction of Congress-unless at
tackled. The Republican leaders
complain that there has been
military occupation OF bases
outside the Western Hemisphere"
they complain that naval &C
ton" is getting the country closer
to war. They are referring to the
occupation of Iceland, in all
probability-although there has
been a lot of loose talk about
American bases in Ireland and
Scotland. The occupation OF
Iceland is unquestionably
strong move for national defense.
If the Nazis gathered in Iceland
now or in the future, they would
be in a position to attack this
country.
The naval action" doubtless
refers to the naval patrol which
has been operating effectively to
aid in preventing the destruction
of American made supplies
shipped to Britain, not in Ameri-
can-f1ag ships, but in foreign
ships. The administration again
and again has insisted there has
been no conveying of these ships
by the American Navy. 1t has
never been proved that convoy
ing was in effect. What the
American naval patrol has been
doing is to convoy" Axis sub
marines-keep them In sight and
spread the news Of their where
abouts to the British and to the
ships carrying supplies. This is
a sensible thing to do If these
supplies, which Congress has au-
thorized, are not to be sent to
the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean.
What would be the use of send
ing aid of this kind to the nation
that Congress wishes to help if
it is to be destroyed en- route?
The answer is, no useful purpose
would be accomplished.
Comforts Enemy.
1t is unfortunate that these Re-
publican leaders should now have
undertaken to make party issue
of a national defense and aid to
Britain or even to Russia. 1t
only gives comfort to the people
for whose defeat the United
States is hoping. They demand

ing with him on minor points but
persuading him that France can
not expect anything from the
democracies.
Petain is still irked by the fact
that the Reich has not yet lib
Grated all the French prisoners.
The head of the French state
had set his heart on having the
men back by the end of this year.
According to reports from Vichy,
when Petain points out to Dar-
Ian the bad faith of the Germans,
the admiral replies that France
is still nominally at war with the
Reich and it would be asking too
much from the Germans to set
all the prisoners free.
Darlan's proof"
Unless a complete agreement
for collaboration were established
between the two countries, 1t
would be presumptious, Darlan
says, to expect the Germans to
liberate such fine soldiers as the
French. The fact that so many
aviators and all the sailors have
been permitted to return to
France to join the ranks again
is held by Darlan to be perfect
proof of Germany's good will.
According to unofficial reports,
the relations between the Amer
ican Ambassador, Admiral Will
liam Leahy, and Darlan continue
to be good, although Leahy does

leading members-are so definite
ly in Herr Won Ribbentrop's
pocket that the Nazi diplomats
need not fear any opposition to
German military plans.
The German general staff,
however, does not trust its own
diplomats too far and does not
want to take any chances.
When the time for action In
Western Europe and West Africa
comes they want to be fully pre-
pared.
Although Gen. Weygand has
not given the Germans any def
mite reason for suspicion, it can
not be said that he Is trusted by
his colleagues of the Reichswehr.

diers and plenty of ammunition.
German Insurance.
As long as the Germans can
have a relatively strong force in
Spanish Morocco, a force much
better equipped than the French,
they believe Weygand will play
along with them.
Consequently. in the last six
or seven weeks, in spite Of the
efforts on the Eastern front, the
Germans have sent across the
Mediterranean a small German
force to bolster up the 10000
Arabs, Foreign Legion and regu-
lar Spanish soldiers. They have
also been able to reinforce mate
rally the fighting ability of those
troops by the dispatch Of i'm
portant quantities Of war ma
terial.
Now, it is felt In Berlin, Gen.
Weygand has been rendered
powerless even If he wanted to
defend French African territory
against an eventual formal Ger
man demand to protect" it
against Britain and the United
States.
Darlan BeIlicose as Ever.
Admiral Darlan is reported to
be as bellicose as ever. He is
greatly influenced by what he
sees of the German force, and
while he realizes that the French

date for the presidential NOM
ination. Former Vice President
Charles G.. Dawes and former
National Chairman Henry P.
Fletcher also were among the
signers.
In Congress today are Repub-
licans who will go along with
these gentlemen. There are
others who will not. Wendell L.
Willkie, the party's candidate for
President last year, is strongly
supporting the administration,
both in its efforts to strengthen
the national defense-even in
outposts-and to aid the British.
Attack Soviet Alliance.
A principal point OF attack by
these Republican leaders is the
fact that Britain and Soviet Rus
sia have formed military
alliance and that the Roosevelt
administration is preparing to
give aid to the Russians by SELL
ing them needed materials.
Russia has turned out to be
the only continental power which
has made an effective resistance
to the Nazi armed forces. For
more than six weeks they have
held the Germans, and have in
fiicted many casualties upon
them, both in men and material.
But the Republican leaders say
the military alliance into which
Britain has entered with Russia
merely demonstrates that this is
war of "power-politics."
To the ordinary man, however,
it will look as though Britain,
with her back to the wall, has
taken a step looking to self
preservation. If she has found
an ally capable of effectually
fighting and checking the onward
rush of the Axis powers toward
domination, she will be regarded
as pretty lucky. If that is power
politics" it is also common sense.
Furthermore, the American Con-
gress and the American people in
the great majority have shown
clearly that what they wish is
the defeat of Hitler and his allies.
They wish this not alone because
of sympathy for Britain and for
the other peoples who have been
overrun by the Axis powers. but
because they are thinking of their
own safety from attack. If they
so desire the defeat of the Axis
powers. are they willing to frown
upon the weapons which are now
taking their toll of the Axis
strength? If they do, nothing
any longer makes sense.

Just at present the Germans ap-
pear to have reached point about
so miles south of Kiev; to be driv-
ing toward Kiev from the west
and to be swinging southeast from
the Smolensk area in a direction
which, If prolonged, would threaten
to cut vital rail supply lines of the
Russian troops in the Kiev sector.
This latter move may well be
no more than a glorifled raid, with
its purpose the destruction of rail
and road communications; some
thing like the cavalry raids for the
same purpose of our own Civil War.
Or it may develop into something
more serious.
May Be Double development.
As for the German thrust south
Of Kiev, it has not yet, apparently,
reached Dnieper. There Is a posi-
bility that it is not directed at Kiev
at all, but has for its purpose a
swing to the southwark and the
development of the Russian troops
defending the line of the Dniester,
across which German and Ru-
manian bridgeheads have been re-

FALMOUTH, MaSs.-The for
eign policy of the Nation at last
has gotten into partisan party
politics in a big way. The state

leaders, including former Pres

Republican party Is opposed to
any further steps that might
involve the United States in a

None of these leaders today
holds any elective office, none is
a member of Congress, none is
Governor of a State. They are

they are able, to speak for the

not expect TO convert the French

This sometimes makes their rela-
tions strained for few days, but
they get together again.
Admiral Leahy wants to per-
suade Darlan that the best policy
for France-speaking as a sailor
to another sailor-is to maintain
the status quo. Admiral Leahy is
naturally convinced that no
matter how long this war may
last the Axis is bound to be
defeated.
Darlan is equally convinced to
the contrary. He maintains that

stances there will be a stalemate

assembled at Rumanian or Bulgar-
ian ports.
It is easy to see how this Russian
naval command of the Black Sea
might be serious obstacle to
German ambitions in the direction
of Turkey or the Caucasus.
Drive for Kiev Likely.
The weight Of probability seems,
however, to incline toward German
attempt to capture Kiev itself as q
token victory for morale-building
purposes, to be followed perhaps by
an attempt to envelop the Russian
armies between the Kiev and Smo-
lensk sectors in connection with
the German push southeast from
SmolenSk.
This is an operation of consider
able extent and may not develop
rapidly; but if it makes progress at
all it can become very dangerous to
the Russians.
If successful it would open up two
flanks, separating the bulk of the
Russian armies and exposing each
fraction to defeat in detail. The
reports of heavy Russian counter
attacks may, therefore, be accepted
at face value; the Russians will GER
tainly make the most desperate
efforts to check the German drives.
Test for Russians.
1t seems quite likely that we have
now reached a stage at which the
Russian ability to maintain the
scale Of their initial efforts in this
war will be put to severe test.
From the very beginning I have
pointed out that the real criterion
Of Russian military power is likely
to be their ability to replace their
initial losses in tanks, guns and
equipment. and to continue to get
supplies and reinforcements up to
their fighting troops-a test in other
words not SO much of the battle
qualities Of the Russian soldier and
the tactical abilities of the Russian
officer as of the whole administra-
tive. transportation and industrial
system of the Soviet state.
1t is in this field, many observers
have felt, that the Germans seemed
likely to show greater superiority
over the Russians than in some
others.
The Russians began the war with
probably a two-to-one superiority
over the Germans in armored fight
ing vehicles. and with no worse than
two-to-three inferiority in combat
aircraft. But in these categories of
weapons particularly, initial losses
are likely to be very heavy. and
ability to replace, indeed to main
tain a steady flow Of replacements,
quickly becomes of major impor-
tance.
At the same time both these types
of weapons, and particularly the air
weapon, bear directly upon that
ability to replace because of their
value in interrupting rail and road
communications.
So far, the Russian air force has

Turning to a discussion of the
administrations bill, Mr.. Baruch
said it would not stop imitation al
though it might lessen the degree.
''Piecemeal price fixing will not
halt imitation" he explained. 1T
allows the general price level to run
wild. while dealing with few in
dividual prices"
AS a matter of basic principle. he
said, price control law should
make no exceptions and added that
while there might be good admins
trative reasons why the price control
agency should not be intrusted with
the regulation of both rent and
wages as we'll as commodity prices
he did not agree.
Farmers Place Discussed.
Discussing agricultures place in
the picture, Mr.. Baruch said that the
ceiling for farm commodities could
be set at parity, and the same par
ity relationship could be retained
after the war.
Those who demanded ITO per
cent of parity and more are inviting
the farmer to go on to another binge
which would leave him with the
same terrible hangover he suffered
after the last war" Mr.. Baruch
added.
Asserting there should be no
tampering" with labor's or agricul-
lures gains during war or prepara-
ton for war, Mr.. Baruch said his
proposal would not affect labor S
right to strike or to bargain collec-
lively, but said it would protect the
millions of unorganized workers who
are unable to get wage increases if
living costs go up.
He said effective price control was
essential if Government salaries and
appropriations were to have any
meaning and that teachers. wal
pensioners, policemen, firemen and
others with fixed income would suf-
fer greatly otherwise.
Mr.. Baruch consumed 40 minutes
in reading his 6,000-word statement
and when he concluded arose from
the witness table to say: Time is

quite close to the horseshoe shaped

termlne definite base date on
