it can hardly be doubted that Ger
many's attack on Russia, occurring
as it does less than three months
after Japan, on the entreatieS Of
Hitler, put itself to the trouble of
concluding with Moscow treaty of
non-aggression, does not fit in with
the present policy of Toxic. This
policy, for more than 20 months,
has been eeared to the idea that
Germany meant to concentrate on
the fight against England and to
do her best to avoid a clash with
the Soviets.
Stability of purpose is the first
requirement of universal system
such as the new order" Hitler
strives to build up and sudden
changes and reversals of positions
are destructive of that minimum
of teamwork which even the Nazi
system cannot do without.
Expectant Attitude in Toxic.
Moreover, the japanese statesmen,
because they are inclined to concede
q good deal to Germany in the way
of invincibility, cannot but pay the
greatest heed to what would follow
Russian disaster: The setting up
in Moscow or in st. Petersburg (the
name of Leningrad, of course, would
be droppedD of a White Russian
government at the beck and call of
Hitler and the formation of a Ger
man-Russian bloc whose interfer-
ence with Chinese affairs could not
be ruled out for the future. In Japan
military elements are only too ready
to seize every opportunity to grab
territories without bothering too
much about later developments.
But the statesmen who are wont to
take a longer view of national in
terest have not all disappeared from
the picture. Hence the expectant
attitude that can be discerned in
Toxic. sac,
Stains fear of putting to the test
of war the social experiment born
of the 1917 revolution, ought to have
enabled Hitler successfully, to en-
force his claims on Russia by other
means than planes, tanks and guns.
1t is difficult to tell at what point
Stain would have chosen to resist
rather than to pield. But all COM
petent observers agree that the sac
rifices he was willing to make to
the Nazi power were more likely
than not to infringe upon current
notions of national independence
and sovereignty.

world and hold out much longer.
The Germans seem TO believe
that their campaign against the
U. S. S. R. will be about as long
as that against France. In mill
tary quarters in Washington the
German point of view is eSti-
mated as likely to be correct. 1t
is pointed out that unless the
Reich military leaders had been
fully convinced of lack of fight
ing spirit in the Soviet army and
of a certain amount of dissatis-
faction among the senior officers
they would not have embarked on
an adventure that has proved
fatal to greater military leaders
than Hitler and his staff.

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Do the CommuniSts-and "fel-
low travellers this country
become overnight lilly white" be-
cause of the fact that Hitler has
attacked Stain? Apparently not,
in view of the statement issued
by Assistant Secretary of State
Welles yesterday declaring that
Communism is as "intolerable" to
Americans as Nazi-ism. And yet
there are those who predict that
the clock will be turned back,
and this country will treat the
Communists and the Soviet gov
ernment as well as it did before
the signing of the non-aggression
pact between Germany and
Soviet RuSsia-the pact which
Hitler has now torn to shredS.
The signing of that agreement
between Germany and the Soviet
aroused great feeling in this
country. Stain was denounced
for selling out to the Nazis.
Quickly it became most unpop-
ular to be a Communist or a
Communist sympathizer. More
recently, since the United States
began its huge defense program,
which includes the production
and furnishing of arms and mu-
nitions to the British, the Com
muniSts in this country have been
charged with subversive activi-

If Russia is able to stem Hit
Ier's advancing mechanized forces
until the fall, the chances of her
obtaining material aid from the
nations fighting Hitler's domina-
ton of the world are better than
fair.
But in the event Russia caves
in under the blows of Hilter's
"blitz" there is little chance the
Soviets will obtain anything but
encouraging words from the ma
tions that Stain has chosen to
deceive in favor of his present
opponent.
This is the general view in
well-informed quarters in Wash
ington.
Ideologies, it is felt in re-
sponsible quarters, must be set
aside for the time being and we
must face the stark realities.
Much as we dislike the U. S. S. R.

was prepared to give Russia any
aid in her power, against Hitler.
He pungently put it that ANY
man or state who fights against
Naziism will have our aid. Any
man or state who fights with
Hitler is our foe." This may be
the tip-off of the attitude of
this country toward the Soviets.
Mr.. Churchills definition of
friend and foe rings a strange
bell. Events have made it a
message of defiance to England's
former ally, France, and a mes
sage of friendship to Hitler's
former fellow traveller" if not
actual ally, Russia.
Several thoughts, with refer
ence to the Russo-German war
now waging, are expressed by
congressional leaders, whether
they be leaders of the Admins
tration or of the iSolationist
groups. The first is that the
new war waged by Hitler is likely
to delay-if not prevent entirely
the entry of this country into
the conflict. Obviously that is
the wish of a great many people,
as well as great many of the
legislators. There is a school of
thought, however, which insists
that the time for this country to
enter the conflict is now, not
later, when Hitler has his hands
full with the British on one side
and the Russians on the other.
Another view of the situation
Is that the war between the
NaZis and the Communists is
advantageous to the rest of the
world, no matter who wins, since
they are destroying each other.
A third view is that this coun-
try should continue to give all
aid to Britain-increase that aid
in every way-and stay away
from any dealing with the Soviet.
The feeling here is that any aid
sent to Russia-if it could reach
that country at all-might fall
into German hands.
1t will be interesting to see
whether there is any falling off in
strikes which interfere with the
national defense program, now
that Hitler has declared war on
Communist Russia.

ties-efforts to hamstring the
program, to sabotage defense
production, etc. Only the other
day, a strike on the West Coast
was denounced by high Govern
ment officials as Communist"
led.
. Because Hitler has gone to war
with the Soviet state is all this
to be forgotten? Is this country
to send supplies-under the
Lease-Lend Act-to the Russians
to help them fight Nazi-ism? OBJ
viously the matter is under con-
sideration. Also, administration
leaders on Capitol Hill are saying
that, not only could such aid be
extended by this country to Rus
sia, but the Lease-Lend Act actu-
ally contemplated that it be done.
They point out that during the
consideration in the Senate and
House of the Lease-Lend Act OPP
ponents of the bill charged that
under its operation the President
would be empowered to send aid
to the Soviet government. They
sought, therefore, to name the
countries to which aid could be
given-and left out the name of
Russia. Congress, however, would
not name the countries, and left
it to the discretion of the Presi-
dent to decide to what countries
the aid should be given-when 1t
was to the benefit of the national
defense.

observers here that Stain could
have allowed more than II months
to go by since the outbreak of the
war without putting his industrial
machine to work on airplanes and
weapons of war. The Nazi con-
f1dence in their own invincibility
may have led them none the less
to take the chance that Stain
could be better defeated now than
a year hence when his preparations
would have been so much further
along.
The Russians have been asking
for certain machine tools from
America and will probably get GER
tain vital help in that direction,
but much will depend on what sort
of resistance it begins to appear
can be made by the Russian forces.

faithfully, and to reap, from one
end of Europe to the other, the po-
litical benefit which, he hopes, will
accrue to him from the intense sat-
isfaction felt by those conservatives
who think that the vindication Of
social order must take precedence
over any country's freedom.
Therefore, the anti-Comintern
pacts of 1936-37, discarded in Au-
gust, 1899, when Hitler came to
terms with Stain, bid fair to be
revived somehow and to win the
adhesion of the national revolu-
tions" in Vichy, Madrid and else
where. Whether the price Germany
will have to pay for those advan-
tages, that is, the postponement or
the lessening of the action in the
Mediterranean and in the Channel,
is not excessive, may we'll be asked.
The diplomatic campaign con-
Quoted by Hitler and Ambassador
Franz Won Papen in order to sever
the 16-year-old Russian-Turkish
bond of solidarity, deserves atten-
ton for the vivid light it sheds on
the working of Nazi Machiavelism.
The Nazis repeat the most famous
precedents of the Bismarckian era.
Plea by Molotov.
L1oraiuy, NHiV1ICtor
Joachim Won Ribbentrop, in their
statements published in full yester-
day, disclosed that last November
Molotov begged for their assistance
in bullying the Turks into trans
ferring the control of the Straits to
the Soviets. 1t is possible to add
this: In the personal letter sent
by the Fuehrer to Ismet Inonu, the
President of the Turkish Republic,
on March Gt was delivered in
haste by a special mission dispatched
to Ankara) great use was made of
that alleged request Of the Russians
to infuriate the Turks and turn
them against their partners.
Bismarck did not act differently
when he had published IN the Lon
don press, at the beginning of Au-
gust, 1870, for the sake of enlisting
British favor, draft unguardedly
written, four years earlier by the
French Ambassador to Berlin.
Benedetti, when the iron chancellor
himself had played with the pos
sible annexation of Belgium to
| France so as to induce Napoleon
III to bow to the Prussian victory
at Sadowa.
Did the Turkish ministers inter-
pref that letter of Hitler as undis-
putable evidence of Russian duplic-
ity? Or did they see clearly through
the German game? There is no
answer to that question here. But
the harsh fact is that they all the
more resolutely urged the Soviet
dictator to give them military
guarantee of Turkeys territorial in
tegrity. And, since Stain did not
dare comply with their wish lest
Hitler's anger should rise and run
wild against him, the German
maneuver, in the end, proved fruit
full.

are sending the British.
Breathing Spell for Britain.
Great Britain will now have a
breathing spell which will last
as long as the operations against
the U. S. S. R. continue. But
to imagine that the principal
German aim-the crushing of
Britain-has been abandoned
and that the Axis will be salts
fed with the immense riches OF
Russia is far from the truth.
According to military observers,
there is little that Britain can do
to soften the blows the German
armies are giving the Russians.
While the British air force can
hammer with greater ease at
German cities, a real offensive on
the part OF the British naval and
air forces is being discounted.
The German submarines ale
not engaged in the present strug-
gle; they will continue to block
ade Britain and try and sink
all shipping approaching British
ports. The German air forces
stationed in Western Europe will
endeayor to prevent the r. A. F.
from damaging the more vital
spots IN the Reich and conquered
countries, while in Africa, the
Axis forces-betWeen 100000 and
100000 men with ample mechan-
lied divisions-Will stay on the
defensive.
Syria will be abandoned to her
own devices and no support is
likely to be given to the French
for the time being. The position
of the British in the Near and
Middle East will become unten-
able the day the Russians lay
down their arms.
Hitler and the German high
command expect to break Rus
sian resistance - possibly with
japanese help in Siberia-in the
course of the next few weeks.
Any prognostication as to the
length of Russian resistance must
be pure guess work. The Rus
SANS may collapse altogether be-
fore the middle of July; on the
other hand they may surprise the

and its methods; much as we
know of its deceptive politics,
there is no doubt that our own
national and hemisphere defense
demands that the Russians be
helped to resist the Germans.
The principal question is whether
the U. S. S. r. can be helped. The
answer is that it can, provided
the Hitler blitzkrieg-a massed
attack with a tremendous mech
anized force and airplanes-can
be stopped by the Russians them
selves.
Must Delay NaZis.
If the Soviet Armies which
have been preparing for war for
the last Is years are capable
of stemming the German ad-
vance, they will be reinforced
with the necessary war mate
rials-mainly ammunition and
airplaneS from this country.
This means that the Russian
Armies must be able to delay
any decisive action until next
September or october. The loss
of territory will be of little con-
sequence as long as the main
industrial centerS are preserved
and the striking power of the
army untouched. If this hap
pens, this country will be able
to divert some war material to
Russia.
But if the Germans are as
successful as they have been in
other campaigns. from Poland
in 1899 to the Balkans in 194l,
no promise can hold good.
Neither Britain nor the United
States are in a position to de-
liver war material of any con-
siderable consequence to the
Soviets. Britain continues to
need everything under the lease
lend bill and at the present
moment our production has not
reached the point where we can

There is absolutely no remnant
