Polish campaign of 1920. Then
Marshal Tukachevsky, who held the
supreme military post, maintained
the was bold enough to publish a
book about it, that the movement
of a group Of cavalry divisions he
| had planned to start was delayed by
| the political commissar in charge at
his general headquarters who was
nobody less than Premier Joseph
| Stain and that the Polish armies
led at that time by Gen. Maxine
Weygand we're thus given the op-
portunity to recoup themselves and
win.
| But if the new measure is to be
regretted for the sake of military
efficiency, there is probably justifica-
ton for it in the present circum-
stances on the ground of political
expediency. Very naturally the rulers
in the Kremlin must fear that de-
feated armies might prove a hotbed
of intrigueS against Soviet inStitu-
tions. After all, from 10000 to 40 900
officers were put to death barely
four years ago on the charge that
| they had favored the setting up of
military dictatorship to be backed
| by Adolf Hitler. On what ground
the accusation was made never was
fully explained.
I shall mention only that Edward
Benes, then President of the Czecho-
Slovakia republic, who appeared to
have had some inside knowledge of
the whole affair, believes to this day
that negotiations had really de-
veloped between a Russian military
faction on the one hand and on the
other the German and Polish gov
ernments for which benevolent neu-
trality had been sought.
Defense of Regime.
Assuming that Stain and his ad
viSers reckon with the possibility of
severe reverse in the field, no Won
der that as a matter of elementary
prudence they try to provide for the
defense of their regime. After all,
it was reported from diplomatic
sources shortly before the outbreak
of the German Russian conflict that
delegation of Red Army officers
had visited the dictator TO recon-
mend compliance with the German
demand and the violent elimination
of so many of their comrades cannot
but still be fresh in the memory of
so many men invested today with
heavy possibilities on the battle
field.
Let us bear in mind also that for
the time being the Soviet regime is
bound up with the cause of Russia's
independence. Any political up
heaval, any change in the political
leadership Of the country occurring
under the pressure of the German
invader would end unavoidably in
the creation of puppet Russian
government in conformity with the
Quisling pattern and rebound to
the advantage of the conqueror.

are young men fully imbued with
the communistic ideal. They have
been brought up to hate capital
ism and all it stands for. Prime
Minister Churchill and President
Roosevelt have been described 10
them in the past as bloodthirsty
heads of a decrepit capitallstic
system. Almost overnight the
broadcasts from the Kremlin
blared that they were the finest
men in the world. All this is con-
fusing to the minds of young en-
thusiastlc 100 per cent Communist
doctrinaireS. There are other Of
ficers somewhat older and more
experienced who are Just soldiers
and cannot understand why the
political branch of the republic
has blundered so.
While the army is still fight
ing bravely, there must be some
serious grumbling among these
officers and this is reported to
have been the reason why Stain
ordered the much-hated commits

If the private utilities had been

eight years, there would today be
no plea for saving electricity by ma
tional daylight saving or other arti-
fetal measures. There would be to-
day no hectic drive to catch up
with electric power production
which for several years had been
deliberately stified by the political
acts of the Government and the
public ownership advocates in
Washington. The engineering brains

A series of robberies of persons

today by the arrest of three colored

This Changing World
Stain Believed TO Suspect Loyalty
Of Officers Even Though Fighting Brovely

through Hitler and Ribbentrop's
game is blamed on the Kremlin.
Thus the Russian commanders
who are fighting desperately on
the Eastern front are still irked
by the blunder of the leaders who
are reported to have deprived
Russia of an army of 100000
men and some 5000 tanks by
sending them on a wild goose
chase in the Caucasus whence
they apparently cannot return in
time to support the army which
is fighting the Germans.
According to reliable reports
from Moscow last spring, when
Stain and Hitler were still close
friends, the Russian dictator was
lulled into the belief that soon
after the Balkan campaign the
Germans will drive toward Tur-
key and the Middle East. Russia
was assigned the task to attack
Turkey and Persia. Both opera
tionS had to be carried out from
the Caucasus. And Stain or
dered a formidable army to that
region to end the campaign as
quickly as possible. He already
saw the hammer and the sickle
implanted on the Persian Gulf.
Double Crossed by Hitler.
But Hitler double-CroSsed his
friend. Now that excellent force
is cooling its heels in the region
between the Black Sea and the
Caspian Lake. Transportation
conditions make it impossible to
bring those troops back to the
front.
Since the Germans attacked the
Soviet, Stain has never been
among his troops. He apparently
does not trust his life at the front.
The inevitable consequence is that
the army which is fighting against
a powerful enemy has the spirit
which is frequently found among
the mercensries. 1t is chiefly
loyal to the officers. And Stain
is afraid that these may not be
fully trusted. Among them there

solve the problem. It is one, how
ever, which has tremendous impli-
cations for the oil companies and
fer the economy of the Nation IN
the future.
The need for the construction
of the pipe line has been we'll
demonstrated. 1t has been re-
ported that at least $50 tankers
are needed to supply oil and gas
for the needs of the East Coast
States, and that this number of
tankers is being reduced to 2l0.
that already stocks of oil and
gasoline in the East have been
reduced in the first quarter of
the year by hearty 100000
barrels.
Already at the. Interior De-
partment there have been two
meetings attended by representa-
tives of the oil producers and re-
tlners and by officials of the Gov
ernment, at which the character
of the pipe line or lines has been
discussed without reaching any
conclusion. Some want the pipe
line to carry crude petroleum,
and others gasoline. Reflners in
the East naturally wish the line
to carry crude oil, and the COM
panies which refine oil in the
Midwest believe that the refin-
ing should be done there, and
the line carry gasoline.
1t is expected in the end that
Secretary of the Interior IckeS,
Who has been delegated to deal
particularly with the oil and gas
situation in the emergency will
have to rule on the whole queS-
tioll. He will decide, it is believed,
on the size of the pipe line, what
it will carry, and where it shall
run.
The bill gives the Government,
if it constructs the pipe line or
lines. authority to condemn prop
erty for rights of way, and If
private capital is to construct, it,
too, will be given authority to
make such condemnations, after
posting bond that due payment
shall be made to the property
owners. A southeastern pipe
line, running from St. Joseph,
Fla, to South Carolina, has been
started by private capital and

carry oil for tranSshipmentt to the
British, who virtually need these
facilities in their conduct of the
war. In addition, should this
country become involved in the
war, there would be a vastly
greater demand for oil and gaso-
line than is now the caSe-to be
delivered on the Eastern Coast.
The cost of the construction
of a great pipe line from the
Texas fields to the New York
Philadelphia area has been vari-
ouSlv estimated from S40,000,000
to S70,000000 1t is expected, if
private capital is TO build and
operate such pipe line, num-
Der of oil companies will combine
for the purpose. That is against
the law under the Elkins Natural
Gas Act. The pending bill au-
thorizeS the President to waive
this prohibition during the
emergency, and as the House
passed the bill, he could continue
to waive that restriction.
Time Limit Set.
The House bill limits the au-
thority granted under proposed
act to June 30, 1943, except in
sofar as the Presidents right to
waive restrictions imposed by the
Interstate Commerce Act and the
ElkinS Act.
The Senate, at the instance of
the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, inserted an amendment
in the bill which would end all
authority June 80, l943. During
the debate. Senator Barkley Of
Kentucky warned the Senate that
if this course we're followed it
might be exceedingly difficult to
get the oil companies or any other
private capital to construct the
big pipe line. He very pertinently
pointed out that private capital
the oil companies-might hesitate
before eXpending a huge sum on
the construction of the pipe line,
if at the close OF the period set IN
the bill it would be unable to
continue to operate the line. The
measure will go to conference be-
tween the representatives of the
House and Senate, and there
some plan may be worked out to

The National Defense Mediation
Board proceed in full session
to consider the merits of the dis
pute and make its final recommen-
datiOns'
This obligation has not been dis
charged by the National Defense
Mediation Board. The dispute in
question has not been considered on
its merits. To the contrary, the Ma
tional Defense Mediation Board has
now decided that henceforth, re-
gardleSS OF the merits of any case,
labor unions must be denied the
right OF normal growth and legiti-
mate, aspirations, such as the union
shop, and the traditional open-shop
policy of the anti-labor employers
must prevail.
Such ds ision as an expression
Of national policy endangers all
labor unions and threatens to rip
aSunder peaceful industrial relations
established in other industries where
union shop relationship has al
ready been established.
Precedent Established.
There can be no question as to
the wholehearted support which the
c. I. O. unions have accorded the
national defense program. We have
appreciated that the call for maxi
mum production under this program
created the need for every sincere
effort to assure continuity of pro-
duction. In the judgment Of the
c. I. O.. the National Defense Medi-
alton Board offered an instrument
to labor and management whereby
our problems could be disposed of
without the need Of industrial con-
fllct or requiring the relinQuish-
ment Of any legitimate rights Of
either party. We have therefore
consistently cOunSelled the affiliated
unions Of the c. l. o. TO utilize in
full all available machinery for
mediation TO achieve the peaceful
solution OF the problems arising
between labor and management. We
are still OF the opinion that such
policy is desirable.
However the decision Of the
ma ajority OF the board makes it i'm
possible for labor to retain any con-
fdence in its future actions. The
