Russia Is Traininq
Thousands Of Men
As Tank Destroyers
Reds Also Try to Offset
Nozi Mechonized Forces
With Deeper Defenses
By A. T. STEELE

Foreign Correspondent OF The Star and
Chicago Daily News.
KUIBYSHEV, Nov. 13.-In the
battle for Moscow the Russians are
applying on a grand scale all the
methods of anti-tank warfare de-
veloped during nearly five months Of
bitter conflict with Hitler's land
armada. This is a war primarily
Of machines and especially of tanks.
Tanks have paved the way for prac-
tically every German advance.
With the Nazis enjoying a tank
superiority of as much as 3 to l on
some sectors of the front, perhaps
the biggest Russian problem has
been how to offset this advantage
The magnificent defense Of Moscow
shows how much the Red Army has
learned and how much it is profiting
from the lessons of experience.
In no stage of the war have the
Germans run up against a more
concentrated anti-tank defense than
at the approaches to Moscow Next

first Importance, nothing accounts
so much for the slowing up of the
German attack on the capital as
these anti-tank precautions.
Anti-Tank Zones Deepened.
The Russians are trying 10 offset
the numerical superiority of the
German tanks through maximum
utilization of artillery and infantry.
through the creation of tighter and
deeper zones of anti-tank barriers.
and through training thousands of
additional men as tank destroyers"
men of reckless nerve and cool
heads who, like ST. George. are not
afraid to tackle these fire-spitting
dragons at close quarters.
All these factors supplement the
work of Russia's efficient but heavily
outnumbered tank corps and air
force.
The ratio of German tank supe-
riority may be greater today than
1t was at the beginning of the war.
Yet it is noteworthy that the Ger
man advance proceeds at slower
pace than before The Russians
know now that it takes a lot more

Of German tanks than they at first
believed. Thus. at the approaches
10 Lenlngrad and Moscow, the NaZls
are confronted with the most for
midable maze of anti-tank barriers
that they have so far encountered.
b Before I left Moscow I saw these
works in process. Men and women
with picks and shovels swarmed
over the landscape in a spectacle
of mass labor for which parallels
can be found only in history books
They were digging miles of bitches
as wide and as deep as a tugboat
canal. At key points were growing
multiple rows of steel asparagus
rails and girders rooted in earth.

Union has blanket contracts at the
three plants.
A conference was arranged today
in an effort to settle c. l. O. strike
at the Mack Manufacturing Corp,
News BrunWick, N. J. The dispute
involves bargaining rights and de-
mands for increased pay. An inde-

Relations Board. The plant employs
1000 persons and has a $4,000 900
order for Army tank transmissions.
A possible tie-up of truck transpor-
tation in II MidWestern States was
foreshadowed by wage dispute in
volving more than 250,000 truck driv-
ers and 300 truck operators. Frank
Brown, a Chicago official of the A.
F. L. Teamsters' Union, said the
strike might begin Sunday unless an

President Stresses
Nation 5 Full Aid in
Building Defenses
Use of All Energies and
Resources Required,
Roosevelt Asserts
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
BOSTON. Nov. 49, President
Roosevelt today called for the use
OF all the Nations energies and re-
sources to build our defenses against
those who would crush decency and
humanity under the dictators' heel"
In a message to the 18th annual
New England Conference, sponsored
by the New England Council and the
Governors of the six New England
States, the President said:
LAS a Nation of free men we are
engaged in a great effort to build
our defenSes against those who
threaten our way of life: those who
would crush decency and humanity
under the dictators heel.
The task before us is not easy
Success will come only through the
use Of all our energies and all of
our resources. We must realize now
that building for defense means
more than peak production in
portion of our industries. 1t means
spreading the work equltably, eff
ciently and quickly throughout our
entire economic structure. 1t means
the production in tens of thousands
of factories of the bits and pieces
so vital to defense. 1t means GER
tain hardships and sacrifices. We
have borne them before in times
Of stress. We shall do SO again.
New England, with its great
reservoirs of skilled, its small and
large factories and its Yankee in
genuity, is already contributing sub
stantlally to this program. Your
18th annual conference proves once
more that New England has not for
gotten its great democratic tradition
of sitting down to discuss its COM
mon problems. Nothing today is of
greater Importance than the COM
mon defense. Let us apply ourselves
70 its problems with a determina-
ton to let nothing stand in the
way of prompt success"

Tank Destroyers Stressed.
One of the most striking sights
were the long lines of obstacles
made Of crossed girders looking like
giant versions of those playthlngs
with which American children play,
Jacks" The Russians call them
iron porcupines. There were plenty
of tank traps, too, known here as
wolf holes" Some mines had been
laid in rows and barbed wire strung
and concrete pillboXes built at COM
manding points. 1t is not surprls-
ing that the German tanks are md
ing the going tougher.
The Russians are now putting
heavy emphasis on the importance
of tank destrovers" and stories OF
the exploits Of these daring detacf-
ments appear almost daily in the
Soviet press. These men are armed
only with grenades, bottles OF COM
bustible liquid, and revolvers. They
lie in ambush at points where Nazl
tanks are likely to appear, often
under cover of artillery, which re-
mains silent until the destroyers
have begun their attack.
When tanks are sighted the
destroyerS seek cover, uncork their
battles and load them with ampuls
(phialsj containing a combustible
mixture. Not until the tanks are
within Is or 20 yards are these men
supposed to make their appearance
and toss their grenades or bottles.
They are usually under orders to
attack the tanks at the front and
rear Of the advancing unit with the
aim of cutting the line of escape for
the remaining tanks As the engine
is generally at the back end of
tank, this is the part they try to hit.

default In view of this record, its
officials seem fully justified in their
confidence that the new plan will
result in few, if any losses to banks
that are holding the bag"
Through the proposed credits
United States manufacturers will be
able to collect payments at their
plants, instead of waiting until their
goods actually have been exported.
The program will be of equal value to
Latin American importers by making
available to them long-term credits
as favorable as those granted by
European nations.
Credits will be limited to the
financing of United States agricul-
tural or industrial products which
are essential to the economy of Latin
American countries. Goods thus i'm
ported must not be re-exported or
sold to any oGher country-a require
ment designed to prevent any pos
sible leak to the Axis.
BY making it easier for the Ameri-
can republics to secure the goods they
need-many of which are now obtain
able only in the United States-the
new credit program should contrib
ute much to strengthen the economic
defenses of the Western Hemisphere.

New Export Plan

In the new credit plan recently an
nounced by the Export-Import Bank,
the administration has taken another
important step to facilitate export of
goods of vital Importance to Latin
America. These shipments now face
two major obstacles arising from the
lack of banking facilities. One is
the insistence of United States man.
ufacturers, most of whom are en-
gagged on war contracts, that private
export orders from Latin America be
accompanied by letters OF credit
payable at their plants. The other is
the lack Of sufficient dollar resources
in Latin American banks, as a result
of which it is difficult, If not impos-
sible, for importers to obtain long
term letters of credit.
In order to overcome these barriers,
the Export Import Bank will estab-
lish special lines of credit for banks
in Latin America. These will be
handled by commercial banks in
this country, the Export Import Bank
assuming responsibility for any losses
that these banks may incur through
the failure of purchasers in Latin
America to pay for goods delivered
So far, the Export Import Bank has
either paid out, or underwritten
more than $4,000, 900 in loans tc
finance trade with South and Central
American countries without q single

AN UNREGISTERED OPINION
BIZ the Rt Rep. James E. Freeman d. d. IL. D. D. c. L.,
Bishop OF Washington.

The setting of the following incident
was exceedingly simple and homely. 1t
was in little village far up in the State
of Maine. The occasion had brought to-
gether a majority OF the justices of the
Supreme Court of the United States.
They were met to pay their last tribute
of affection to one of its members. In
little country church set amid the pines
the burial Office had just been read, ana
the distinguished mourners, Governors,
Senators and justices were met in the
rector's study awaiting the train that
was to take them to a distant city for
the interment of their friend.
1t was silent group, evidently occu-
pied with the characteristics and virtues
of their distinguished colleagues life.
After long period where no word was
spoken one of the company ventured to
break the silence with this observation:
Il am wondering what you men are
thinking about" There was a mo-
mentary pause when one Of the justices,
namely the late Mr.. Justice Holmes, re-
sponded in subdued and quiet voice:
II cannot speak for the rest Of my COL
leagues, but have been thinking of the
deep significance and utter majesty Of
St Paul's great chapter on immortality
which has just been read in the service.
namely, the 18th of First Corinthians"
Continuing, he said: There is nothing,
so far as know in the world religious
literature, comparable to it,
The justice had posed a question to
which every man in the room responded
For a half hour this remarkable and
widely familiar chapter became the sub
ject of reverent discussion. 1t disclosed
wide knowledge of both philosophy
and the most famed of the worlds religi-
Gus books. From this particular chap
ter the distinguished company turned to
other Of st. Paul's epistles and the con-
clusion reached was that the three
greatest of St. Pauls chapters were the
18th of First Corinthians on charity, the

many as Germany then was-some-
thing not vastly different from Ger
many as Germany now is But be
that as it may, dreadful strife de-
velops between Hillcrist and his de-
pendents and HornbloWer and his
allies. Cruel things are done and
innocent bystanders get hurt during
three acts of bitter struggle. Then,
at the end, the Jackmans return to
the stage, still humble, inoffenSive,
apologetic people who have no wish
but to express their thanks to their
friends. 1t seems incredible, yet it
is true: Hillcrist had forgotten their
existence! The battle, in its cataclys-
mic progress, had swept passed them.
Both sides had lost contact with the
cause" of the quarrel.
History metaphorically repeats
Galsworthy's fable today. When
World War No. began in the
autumn Of 1899, its focal point was a
city currently forgotten, an ancient
city Of many fine traditions, a city
which once was the outpost of civili-
zation on the Baltic shore, a self
respecting, self-sufficient city be-
longing to the Hanseatic League and
setting an example for neighboring
communities to east, west and south,
a city which now has vanished from
the news the while other towns-so
many of them!-are spotlighted by
bombardment from the skies.
1t was for Danzig that Hitler
marched at the beginning of the
latest clash between the tribe of Hill
crist and the tribe of HornbloWer, but
who remembers that in 1941?

Forgotten City

During the first World War the late
John Galsworthy brought his genius
to the task of writing what he called
1.-The Skin Game: A Tragi- Comedy
in which, symbolically, he dealt with
the great forces involved in the
titanic struggle then raging. The
little countries-Serbia and Belgium
were represented as the Jackmans,
an elderly couple of humble status
and condition who apply to Hillcrist,
a country gentleman perSonifying
Britain, for help against Hornblower,
an individual who didn't care for
anything so long as he has his i'm
portance."
It is fair to suppose that this last
mentioned pushing fellow" is Ger
