which is somewhat antiquated
according to the fighting stand
ards of the west, but adequate
for purely defensive action
against an eventual Japanese
invasion.
1t is true that most Of the
modern Russian bombers. whose
presence in the Far East was
constant threat to Toxic and
other Japanese cities, have been
dispatched to the Russian-Ger-
man front, but the Siberian army
does not contemplate aggres-
sion against the Japanese En-
pire and is satisfied with what it
now has available to keep the
Japanese in check.
Another Nazi Drive Expected.
Heavy snow now covers the
line between Leningrad and Ros-
tov-on-Don. Billiards lasting
several days are not rare this
time of year. There is no ques-
ton that the Germans can do
little against nature and will
have to dig in, probably for the
rest of the winter.
According to experts on Rus
sia, the NaZis have only two
weeks in November or early De-
cember for resumption of i'm
portant offensive operations on
that front. Indian summer" oc-
casionally occurs at this time of
year. While the temperature is
below zero the days are clear
and the frozen soil-even if cov-
cred with snow-permits large
scale military operations. The
German high command now may
concentrate large forces for a
final and desperate assault
against Lenlngrad or Moscow or
both during that brief period.
The fight for the Crimean
Peninsula will continue until the
Soviet forces have been dislodged
from their present positions. The
defenses Of Sevastopol are strong
and the Axis forces will have to
pay q heavy toll for the conquest
Of the foremost military and
naval base on the Black Sea
coast.
The Russian general staff in
Moscow maintains, however, that
Sevastopol can hold out indefi-
nitely. 1t recalls that 20 years
ago the best Russian troops of
Semeon Budyenny. who now is
helping direct the defense of
Moscow, fought desperately

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Some 350, 900 fresh troops from
Siberia have turned the tide Of
the battle for Moscow, well-in-
formed military observers in
Washington report. The 300 or
400 planes and 10000 tons Of high
octane gas which the Soviet
forces received from Great Brit
ain and the United States
through Archangel helped the
defenders Of the central Soviet
front achieve what most mill
tary experts regard as a miracle.
Withdrawal of the Siberian
forces did not seriously weaken
the defenses of the maritime
provinces Of Siberia or the COW
ering troops or the Japanese
Russian border. The first line
of defense in that region consists
OF strongly fortified fixed posi-
tions - pillboxes, blockhouses,
tank traps, etc. These are sup
ported by a substantial air force,

Cossack general, Baron Peter

Desertions Won for Reds.
Although the Red forces were
better equipped and better fed
than Baron Wrangel's armies
and outnumbered them as well,
1t was only the wholesale deser-

and no reprisals for their "be-

that made Budyenny's victory
possible.
The army now defending the
Crimean Peninsula is well pro-
vided with arms, ammunition and
food supplies, and is unquestion-
ably burning with enthusiasm.
Hence, the Russian high COM
mand does not share the pessi-
mism of some British military
men, who believe the Crimea
eventually will fall to the Nazis.
But even If this were to happen.

the Russian Riviera" will not
affect the power of resistance of
the Russian armies. The Ger
mans may obtain possession Of
all the naval bases in the Black
Sea; the Russian feet may be
scuttled; the Nazis may advance
as far as Novorossiisk, in the foot
hills Of the Caucasian Mountains,
but all this does not mean that
they can penetrate the Caucasus.
The Russian general staff is re-
ported to consider that even the
loss Of Batumi, the principal port
of the Caucasus, would not ad-

OF the Warmongerlng appeaS-
ers around him? Following
upon Mr.. Lindbergh's confession
that before this war began he
favored an attack of Germany
upon Russia, comes Mr.. Hoover's
blast against the administration
on the subject of Finland, break
ing simultaneously with a SINH
lar blast from Goebbels' propa-
ganda department. almost as
though timed to synchronize.
Mr.. Hoover's statement gives
the remarkable impression, I
trust false, that he wants Fin
land to go on fighting, even if
all Finnish aims are realized, and
Great Britain and the United
States are ready to use their in
fuence with Russia to get a
guarantee of Finlands frontiers.
1t almost seems Mr.. Hoover
only wants peace when peace
? will assist Hitler, and wants to
stop peace if peace will assist
Britain and the United States.
Finland's continuance in the
war, and the use of Finland as a
base for Nazi military operations,
ties up the port of Murmansk,
which is the nearest and best
route for delivering supplies to
the Russians, who, whatever their
social principles may be, are
resisting a treacherous aggres-
sion.
Nazis Apply Pressure.
The best possible policy for the
Firms would be to mediate peace
on the basis of their old frontiers.
win, therefore, their own war,
and return to neutrality. The
only real question is whether the
Nazis would let them. The real
pressure on Finland is now from
the Germans. And just why Mr..
Hoover should try to stop the
administration from getting
peace in one part of the world
where 1t might get peace for one
small nation, is beyond my
powers of comprehension.
The Russians made a terrible
mistake in attacking Finland.
and put themselves in bad
moral position. Furthermore.
there is no use in their saying
that they attacked Finland be-
cause they feared a German ag-
gression through Finland. Ac-
cording to their own previous
statements and propaganda, what
they feared was British aggres-
sion through Finland, in pursu-
ance Of the policy advocated by
Mr.. Lindbergh, of turning Ger
many loose against the West.
History moves so rapidly these
days that we forget last years
events. 1t is well, however, to
remember them.
The first Finnish war followed
three months after the conclu-
sion of the Russo German pact
and the German attack on
Poland, and was precipitated by
the Finnish decision to fortify
the Aland Islands, proposal
which was opposed by the Rus
SLAMS and approved by the
League of Nations, and Germany.
From this moment on, however:
Germany consistently backed up
the Russians, while the Western
powers all backed the Firms,
without single exception.
Mr.. Roosevelt did his diplo-
matte best to prevent the attack;
Congress voted aid to the Firms:
Queen Wilhelmina of Holland
sent generous aid through the
Dutch Red Cross, and an allied
expeditionary force to aid the
Firms was prevented by Sweden,

liant fight the Russians are making;
nor the great cost to Hitler of his
Russian gains; nor the advantage to
the British and ourselves of these
four months in which the NaI
forces have been concentrated upon
new foe; nor the recent brilliant
reception at the Russian Embassy,
should make us forget certain fun
damental facts about the Commu-
mist leaders and the Communist
aims, methods and character. Chief
among these facts is that Stain, in
herently, is just as ruthless as
Hitler.
He is not as great an immediate
menace to us from the outside, but
inside he has been, and may easily
again become, a greater. His word is
no more to be trusted and the things
for which he stands are just as
abhorrent to the American way
of life as is the Nazi creed.
For years his agents have worked
within this country to destroy
American institutions and promote
revolution and chaos. At the mo-
ment they are our allies, but a
short while ago they were linked in
friendship with Hitler, working for
him here as we'll as in Europe, op-
posing the lease-lend bill and the
Roosevelt policy of aid to the
British.
'Coddling' Condemned.
1t is to our interest to help them
now, and We ought to do 1t. But
we ought also to keep our heads
clear and our memories bright.
Moreover, under the circumstances,
while it is intelligent and right to
aid the Communists abroad, 1t is
certainly unnecessary to coddle
them at home.
To this end, it seemed a particu-
larly untimely moment for Mrs.
Roosevelt to give White House tea
to stimulate interest in the newly
organized Washington Student
Service Bureau. This bureau is the
local unit Of the International Stu
dents Service, which last summer
under Mrs. Roosevelt's sponsorship
conducted q months meeting at
Campobello, the Roosevelt summer
home.
The guiding spirit Of this affair
and Of the organization was Joseph
lP. Lash, former executive Of the
American Student Union, which the
Dies Committee, back In 1899,
branded as Communistic in tone
and membership.
Mr.. Lash denied before the COM
mittee that he was personally
Communist, and he with other Of
ficials of the A. S. U. were taken
to lunch at the White House by
Mrs. Roosevelt during the hearings.
A few weeks later the Student Union,
guided by Mr.. Lash, held q conven-
ton while the invasion Of Finland
by Russia was In progress. BY an
overwhelming vote 1t rejected .
resolution which would have named
the Soviet Union as the aggressor.
