 He argued n opposition to some of his crbnies, that were would be no defection in the Ukraine. Reports of what had happened to some of their rela- tives in Poland would convince the iUkIainians that the Nazis would never leave their rich re sources and their factories in their hands, he thought. Besides, he said, the only strong opposi- .ion leader to S. alin in the Uk- ain.e committed suicide six years ago leaving 8 note that his fight was useless.
 The final important argument of tia..s expert was that the Ger '. s'c.,s had fai ed to compute their ,.:sks hy the cube root. He meant by this that the German trans osrt problem in attack was far greater than the Russian one in retreat-that the Germans would have 10 create an endless belt of supplies and achievements on a vaster and far, far greater dis tances than they ever had be- fore. It would be failing to grasp the enormity of a traffic prob- lem, the like of which they had never faced, he said.

hand by joining Germany in con quering Russia.
 The British governments an- sWer was to incarcerate Hess and immediately notify Washington and Moscow of the plan.
 The subsequent chain of ev- ents is history. Darlan and Laval were among the first to get wind of the scheme, and rushed to Hit Ter offering complete "collabora- tion." This drew whitening de- nunciations from President Roo sevelt and Secretary of State Hull.
 Britain, which for months had been trying to make up its mind to attack Syria, launched an of- fenSive with Free French forces to seize this strategically vital region. Then on June Is British intelligence got wind of quiet German withdrawals of air and other forces from French bases. This was why the British took the initiative in their continuous day and night bombing raids Wreaking havoc on key German centers.
 Fearful of attack and anxious to appease in all directions, Mos COW abandoned its stiff-necked coolness to Japan and hurriedly signed a pact in order to insure at least temporary tranquility on it's eastern border. Simultan- eously Stalin abandoned his tra ditional behind-the-scenes role and actively assumed the reins as premier of Russia. Russia be- gan massing l60 divisions on it's western borders.
 It was at this time that Am basador John Winant returned to the USA at the request of Prime Minister Churchill in order to give President Roosevelt a com plete fill-in and to deliver cate goric assurances from Churchill that Britain will never make peace with Hitler.
 NOTE - The British govern ment was so sure Hitler would attack Russia that Churchill was able to prepare and deliver his historic radio address only 18 hours after Hitler invaded Rus sia.

SAW RUSSIANS AS RUSSIANS

Even his timing erred in favor of the Germans and of course how right he is from here on reS.s with the future. But some of .,he steps by which he arrived st these conclusions are interest Ing.
 Tn the first place, he believed that the Russian army was much better and more effectively mech an:zed than anybody suspected. The Russians, for years, had been positive that some day they would have to fight the Germans and they were not lulled into passivity by Hitler's overtures of friendship and cooperation. They expected attack and they built up a@i trained their army to meet it.
 He buttressed this reasoning with an observation a.,9ut Rus sian 2 ora - namely that the 7u i3ns are Russians first and any hing else (including Com l:un1ts) afterwards. They might be Gaorgians, Ukrainians, White Russians or Siberians; pro-Stalin

WASHINGTON, Aug One of the duties of the departments of government is to keep the Presi- dent informed. When any vital issue arises, the experts go into high and grind away on statistics and knowledge until they have turned out ear summary and their besi conclusions. Often, it is fro-n .s,.I-h nenorandums of fact and probabilities that the policy of the United States is shaped.
 Such matter of vital import ance arose when Germany march ed into Russia. The experts went into their huddles and, from au- thorities on labor, agriculture, economics political actiui:.y in dustry and military and naval af fairs went memos to be stacked on the PreSlaentS desk.
 As nearly as l can find out, only one expert, out of all the score or more, even closely ap- proximated the course of the Russian-German war so far. All the rest said, in effect, that the Nszis would do just what they said they would do, and in re- cord time -annihilate the Rus sian armies and take everything they wanted short of the Volga River.

Here's One Explanation of Hess's Flight
WAS NAZI PLOT FOR BRIT. AID IN WAR ON RUSSIA,
 SAYS THIS STORY
By Drew Pearson and Robert s. Allen


 WASHINGTON - Following the outbreak of the Nazi-Russian war, European capitals buzzed with reports of a German offer to Britain to make peace, then turn their united forces against Soviet Russia. These reports were not empty rumors; they were absolutely true.
 Behind them is a story of the most audacious and astounding Nazi intrigue of the war todate. Its opening scene was the sen sational Hess flight" to Britain; its closing paragraph the "sur- prise" Nazi declaration of war on their ally, Red Russia.
 The inner details of this brain- reeling plot are not yet unravel- ed and all of them won't leak out until the history books are writ ten. But authorities have pieced it together and it is now possible to get the main outlines.
 Following the victorious Bal kan campaign which made Ger many master of Europe, power- full military-nazi elements, al ways hating the communists, be- gan urging peace with Britain in exchange for British coalition against Russia. After a bitter struggle inside the nazi party Hitler sided with the anti Red group and the wheels were set in motion to line up the Brit ish.
 It was realized that they would have to be approached in such a manner that they could not doubt the authenticity of the nazi plan. So Hess was chosen for this mission. Not only was he the one man in Germany closest to Hitler, but he was also known for his hatred of communism. And before the war he had had contacts with the British nobil- ity.
 So Hess, not flying alone, but accompanied by several guiding p anes; and not taking off from central Germany as reported but from Norway, made his dramatic descent on the estate of the Scotch Duke of Hamilton.
 HESS'S MESSAGE
 The message brought by Hess in substance was as follows:
 CD Britain and Germany would enter coalition as the chief partners in a new axis; CD Italy would be placated with some minor possessions of France, which would be stripped of its empire; (3) Germany would retain free hand on the whole of the continent, with Brit ain helping to establish that free
