Nuzi Withdrawal DECEPTIVE
Eliot Suggests Germans May Be Preparing
Another Thrust at Russiuns in South

alternative left flank position rest
ing on Lake Peipus If they could
hold it, and with their right flank
resting on the Sea Of Azov some
where about Melitopol. This, of
course, would be an enormous with
drawal, but it would shorten the
German line, improve their COM
munications, and enable them to get
the full benefit from their CONVEX
sion of the railways In Western
Russia to the German standard
gauge.
Admission Of Weakness.
1t would, however, be necessary for
the Germans to consider the moral
effect Of such a withdrawal on the
German Army and people. This
effect will be likely to be proportion
ate to the amount Of territory given
up. Even the small withdrawal in
France occasioned Ludendorf some
anxiety on this point.
Troops resent having to give up
positions which they or their COM
rades have purchased at the price
of much blood. 1t is. therefore,
quite possible that the German
Withdrawals will be on lesser scale
and that stabilization may take
place wherever good defense posi-
tions can be found, provided the
Germans manage to stand where
their high command desires.
1t remains, Of course, to be seen
whether they can do so. The Rus
slams will doubtless do everything in
their power to turn the German re-
tirement into q rout. A good deal
depends on the equipment. espe-
cially airplanes and armored fighting
vehicles, which the Russians have
available, and on the skill Of their
commanders in keeping up pressure
on the retiring Germans.
Foe ut Nazi Heels.
A well-conducted pursuit is one
Of the most difficult of military op-
erations, and there are few instances
In military history Of really first
class operation Of this sort. How
ever, the weather must be taken
into account, with its effect on Ger
man endurance and morale, Is well
as the effect on that morale Of the
fact that German Armies at last
are going backward with . vic
torious foe snarling at their heels.
The effect on other theaters Of
war remains to be taken into ac-
count. Obviously. the greater the
degree OF Russian success in the
west, the greater will be their feel
ing Of security and, therefore, the
greater their willingness to act
against the Japanese in the Far
East. This consideration is modified,
however, by the probability that as
long as the Russians hope for a
really great success against the
Germans, they will feel inclined
to concentrate their resources to
that end rather than employing
them elsewhere.
The most favorable conditions for
. Russian offensive against Japan
would be . complete stabilization
Of the western front, under cir
cumstances which offer the Rus
SLAMS little to hope for from further
offensive operations but which make
it clear that the Germans are in
no immediate position to resume
their own offensive.
1t should be kept In mind that
German statements ought never to

on, there is always the chance that

nized. 1t was also declared that
where women took over the work
in factories in place of men
needed for military service or
other work, they should receive
the same pay as men had re-
ceived. The right Of labor to q
Living wage" was declared, and
1t was provided that in fixing
wages, minimum rates Of pay
should be established which
would insure the subsistence of
the worker and his family IN
health and reasonable comfort"
This set Of principles was re-
garded as extremely reasonable
and fair to both parties. 1t viii
be of great interest to see what
set of principles and policies Is
written by the present confer
ence, If any.
The National War Labor Board
functioned more as court than
as q mediation board. 1t was not
given any legal authority to en-
force its decisions. 1t had to rely
on the good faith Of the parties
involved and upon the weight Of
public opinion to back up the
board, and upon the support Of
other Government agencies.
1t did not prevent all strikes,
but 1t settled many differences
between labor and management
and kept the stoppages of work
to a minimum. President Wilson
backed up the board firmly and
with all his power. On one oc-
casion, when the employers de-
clined to permit employees to
join q union, Mr.. Wilson took
over the concerns. They were
the telegraph companies. The
Postal Telegraph Co. had agreed
to conform to the decision Of the
board, but Western Union stood
out against 1t.
Work Or Fight" Order.
On another occasion, Mr.. Will
son acted to bring into line a
labor union which declined to
accept the decision of the board.
1t was located in Bridgeport,
Conn. He wrote to the strikers.
directing them to return to work
and abide by the decision Of the
board.
IF you refuse" the President
wrote, each of you will be
barred from employment In any
war industry in the community
tn which the strike occurs for
. period Of one year. During
that time the United States EN-
ployment Service will decline to
obtain employment for you in
any war industry elsewhere in
the United States, as well as
under the War and Navy De-
partments, the Shipping Board.
the Railroad Administration and
all other Government agencies,
and the draft boards will be in
structed to reject any claim of
exemption based on your alleged
usefulness in war production"
This was Mr.. Wilson's famous
work or night announcement.
Congress is about to put
through a military draft act COW
ering all the men in the country
from 10 to a. President Roose-
welt, under these conditions,
would be in position to deal with
any strikes as did President
Wilson.
1t would be a great step if, in
any agreement arrived at, the
representatives of labor and
management could agree there
would be no stoppages of work
in war industries now, when so
much is at stake.
Whether such an agreement is
reached or not, the American
people are in no frame of mind
to countenance strikes or lock-
outs in defense plants. Any
further attempt by leaders to
use the present emergency to
advance their own interests will
be dealt with one way or an
other.

This Changing World
British Pictured Looking to U. 5. Fleet
To Defend Key Singapore Position

The raid on Pearl Harbor Is
equally considered to have been
a move intended to cripple part
of our Pacific Fleet and to force
the American high command to
maintain the rest of it in Ameri-
can waters.
The Japanese Fleet is elusive
and has avoided an engagement
with the weaker forces under the
command of Admiral Thomas c.
Hart. The reason for this, ac-
cording to some observers, is that
the Japanese want to put their
whole fleet into action as soon as
their land forces have made suff1-
cient progress in the Malay Pen
insula to make a combined land,
air and naval attack on the Brit
ish Gibraltar Of the East.
Despite the high quality Of
British and Australian fighting
forces In that region, there is no
question that the Nipponese have
overwhelming superiority in man
power. AS far as was known
here before the outbreak of war,
December 7, the Japanese had
concentrated in French Indo-
China no less than 225 900 men,
fully equipped for jungle war
fare. The bulk OF their aviation,
estimated at some 5000 planes,
now Is In Indo-C China and Thai
land.
Hinges on Allied Fleet.
1t is conceivable that more
troops may have been sent into
the French colony unknown to
British and American intelligence
services. To the total number Of
Japs should be added the small
army Of Thailand, some $4,000
men. 1t is believed that these
men are serving now under the
flag Of the Rising Sun.
The British and Australians
hope to compensate for their in
feriority IN numbers and possibly
