sia as a debacle, but a very con-
servative estimate of the situa-
ton would be that the Germans
have had the first real surprise
Of the present war.
The Russians, according to
most experts, had no striking
power left. Even some of the
highest Russian authorities ad-
mitted as much a few weeks ago.
When a general estimate was
made in Moscow 1t was indicated
by Russian staff officers that un-
til large quantities of airplanes
and tanks were received from
the United States and Great
Britain it would be difficult for
the Soviet armies to do more
than hold the Germans back.
The Soviet victories on all fronts,
considering their limited quanti-
ties Of war materials, are almost
q miracle.
Nazis Guessed Wrong.
After the last German often
sive-begun five weeks ago-to
capture Moscow and Leningrad
proved a complete flasco. the
Nazi high command decided. ac-
cording to reports received In
Washington, to withdraw to q
line behind Kharkov and Smo-
lensk.
The Nazis intended to move
back slowly, holding the Russians
with a few covering divisions but
with practically no aviation. The
NaZi air force had ceased to func-
ton effectively because Of the in
tense cold and because many
German planes had been sent
elsewhere.
The Germans appear to have
reckoned on the war-weariness of
the Soviet armies, their lack OF
tanks and material. and on the
belief that the Russian high
command would be delighted to
see q few hundred miles between
the German and Soviet troops.
But the Germans were mis-
taken; like most other western

The Great Game of Politics
Choice of Roberts to Head Huwoii Inquiry
Criticized as Upsetting Function Of Court

the recognized custom for such JUS
tices to withdraw from the hearings
of such cases. A quorum Of the
Supreme Court is six and not five.
If there are only five justices quail
fed to sit in case, the court simply
cannot function.
Precedent Is Feared.
With one justice detached from
duty and three others likely to find
themselves debarred from sitting in
certain cases, clearly the possibility
Of the Court being partially and
temporarily paralyzed exists. 1t is
assumed that the President did not
realize this when he named Mr..
Roberts. He named him because
with him as chairman Of the board
its decision is sure to carry great
weight with the public.
1t can. of course, be argued that
this is war and such things as tradi-
tions, prestige and dignity should
not be permitted to block results.
However, it does seem that among
1870 ,000, 900 people, Mr.. Roosevelt
easily might have found some man
of the required character and capa-
city without raiding the Supreme
Court. There are plenty Of them
not on the Court.
Those who feel this way-and
there are a good many-are not so
much concerned about this partic-
ular Job for which Mr.. Roberts
has been detached as they are about
the precedent it will establish. Fear
is expressed that, having once found
the Supreme Court available for
mediation and investigation pur-
poses, the disposition will be to turn
to it more and more every time a
tough proposition confronts a Presi-
dent. In the end, Supreme Court
Justices may be found doing a great
many things entirely unconnected
with their judicial positions and well
below the dignity Of a Justice. For
these reasons, some of his friends
wish that Justice Roberts had quietly
declined this Presidential appoint
ment. He would have had no trouble
in justifying the declination.

peoples they do not understand
the Russians. From the little
information received in Wash
ington it appears that the Soviet
command, as soon as it learned
of the German plan for orderly
retreat, rushed every available
unit into combat.
Unorthodox Strategy.
The Russians followed the un-
orthodox strategy of hurting
large masses of cavalry against
the retreating Germans, and the
best organized army in the world
is likely to lose its balance when
taken so completely by surprise.
German intelligence services
did not function as well as in the
past. The NaI high command
knew about certain concentra-
tions of wild cavalrymen" but
believed that light tanks and
armored cars would break their
rush. In this, according to reh-
BILE reports, they were mistaken.
The intense cold made me-
chanized units useless. Their
speed was greatly reduced. In
many cases they were paralyzed
by snow drifts 10 and II feet
high. The cooling systems of
the German motors broke down
in the absence Of an anti-freeze
solution.
The onrush of Soviet horse
men, accustomed to the severe
winter of the Russian steppes,
took the Germans completely by
surprise and transformed the
orderly retreat of the covering
divisions into almost a rout.
Soviets Have Oil Again.

military, geographical, political
and diplomatic problems. Here
is a perfectly lucid chronological
account of a series of happenings
all of which could lead to only
one conclusion: The imminent
peril of the United States.
The facts, as facts, were not
only known to the President and
his cabinet; most of them were
known to readers of newspapers.
Yet, even in the Congress there
was no disposition to put all the
facts together and admit what
they added up to. The question
all Americans must now be ask
ing themselves is: Why, in view
of these events, piling up upon
each other with inexorable logic,
was this country not bristling
with arms?
But it did not lie within the
political power of the Govern
ment adequately to prepare for
what was coming, because 1t was
unable to convince either Con-
gress or the Nation of danger.
No democracy will spend billions
for arms unless it believes itself
to be in peril
That the war in the East and
the war in the West had an in
exorable affinity and polarity
that was what was lacking in
the popular imagination. And
If We are to have a people with a
world sense, we must expand the
teaching of geography to work
at all times on large maps and be

thropological.
Japan's Position Like Britain's.
The history of Japanese i'm
periahsm is interviewer with the
social and class structure of
Japan, as the history of German
imperialism is interviewer with
the dominance in Germany OF
the Prussian military caste, which
created the modern German
state.
Japan's position in the East is
similar to Britains in the West:
An island power, densely popu-
lated, dependent upon the rest
of the world for essential ma
terials and markets. A strong
navy for such power is logical.
But whereas the British tradition
has made a nation of sailors and
merchants, sailors and merchants
in no wise dominated Japan: tho
dominant class, the Samurai, are
warriors, feudal knights, Prus-
sian Junkers Of Mongolian race.
And this class conceived Of Japan
as a seapower and landpower,
using her island bases to DOM
mate and subjugate the continent
of Asia.
Such a dream was once that OF
the British. But they gave it up
after the wars with France. Their
policy Of security became, like
ours, not domination, but protec-
ton of Europe-and the world
from domination by any one or
two great powers.

tice Roberts, naturally there is no
question. He is a man OF wisdom,
balance and experience. Neverthe-
less, there is considerable question
as to the effect of detaching him,
or detaching any other member OF
this Court, from his judicial duties
for this or any other purpose. In
this connection two points are made.
The first concerns basic Supreme
Court standards. Briefly, 1t is that
once q man ascends to this, the
highest court In the land, he should
cease to be available for any other
public or political post. BY those
who most deeply cherish the tradi-
tions Of the bench, 1t is insisted that
members Of the Court should re-
main aloof from all administrative
activities not directly connected
with the bench. This does not mean
that once a man becomes member
OF the Court he must then become
a hermit, shut of from all human
interests and intercourse. 1t does
mean that If the prestige OF the
Court Is to be preserved and the
popular reverence for 1t kept unim-
paired It's justices should not be re-
garded as draftable material for any
outside activity.
Causes Justices TO Suffer.
In recent years this standard has
more or less ruthlessly been pushed
aside. There have been frequent
published reports and radio an
nouncements concerning the alleged
candidacy Of this justice for that
Office and that justice for some other
Office. all of which has deeply panied
the more solid members of the court.
who feel that nothing could be more
damaging to its reputation than to
have the names OF justices thus
banded about by politicians and po-
liticsl writer's. In no other admin
istration has this sort Of thing been
carried to such extremes. There has
been found no way to stop these
booms and boosts, and the suffertngs
Of most Of the justices have been
acute.
The other point made In connec-
ton with Mr.. Roberts' appointment
has to do with the functioning Of the
Court. The absence Of one justice
automatically increases the burden
on the others. Some Of the present
justices now do not pull their full
weight in the boat. Decidedly, Mr..
Roberts is not one Of these, and his
new assignment means that the
working members Of the court will
have even more work to do than
they now have. But that is not all.
There is another possibility which
seems to have been generally over
looked but of which members OF
the Court and those who have busi-
ness with it are keenly aware.
There are now on the court three
ex-Attorney Generals-Chief Justice
Stone and Justice Murphy and Jack
son-and one ex-Solicitor General
Justice Reed. These justices are
automatically disqualified from pass
ing upon litigation in which as
lawyers Of the Government they
! had previously been involved. 1t is

Recommended for Study in Schools

There Is, however, no Germany"
on the Asiatic continent. China,
with enormous man power, never

and militaristic nation. and
Chinese Confucianism had made
them the Christian-like phil
osophers Of the East, ruled by
mandarins, well-educated civil

Roots Of Aggression Are Old.
China is the most civilized ma

intelligent pupil Of Western ma

and iron, beginning with the Rus
so-Japanese War, and the con-
quest of Korea and Port Arthur,

feat, by revolution or by the in
term of anything corresponding
to the Weimar Republic.
The roots Of today's japanese
aggressions are to be sought not
10 but so years ago, although the
President is right in showing that
the acute danger for our times
began in 1881.
The analogies between Ger
many in the West and Japan in
the East are striking. Naziism
with its concept of the super
race is exactly duplicated in the
Japanese Samurai mind. Naziism,
which is return to German
feudalism in 20th century form
"a feudalism dominated by
mystic god-head symbol Of the
race, praetorian guards. soldiers.
and industrial barons, is lne
western version Of the Samurai
philosophy.
Fascism, although 1t started in
Italy, never struck its deepest
roots there. 1t belongs to no
Christian, Mediterranean civil
ization. It found its real habitat
among the warriors Of Eastern
Germany-with a remembrance
of Teutonic Knights.
There are other analogies. Hit

This rise Of the workers, easily
dismissed by the phrase "commu-
nism." and far better compre-
hended in the word democracy"
threatened the historic classes,
who recognized by instinct If not
otherwise, the value of the dema-
gogic tyrant. Abandoning mean

fact of the 20th century has been
the struggle of wage workers for
a status in society, and for equal
ity of power in governing it. This
rise could only be stemmed.
thought the feudalists, by war.
Whether they were right or not
depends on the outcome Of the
war, which has become, exactly,
for us. q war to destroy feudalism
in its goth century and most ter
rible manifestation.
In this sense both Germany
and Japan are driven to war. Any
other means would destroy the
present social structure Of both
countries. Two million common
soldiers, returned to Japan from
China, would be an internal men,
ace of the first order.
Far-sighted, Roosevelt knew
