GASOLINE:
Rations

Most stations in the East were be-
ginning to ration their gasoline Gus
toners in odd sorts of ways, so that
the driver who wanted gasoline bad
ly enough could get it, if only at the
rate of five gallons here and five
more there.
But New York surveyors of the
field reported that even the z p. m.
to z a. m. curfew was working pref
ty well, with 100 key stations re-
porting a 1914 per cent reduction in
sales.
The second method was also cut
ting sales, though how much re-
manned a mystery. 1t was believed
probable that the better method
would be to enlist the cooperation
of the bigger users of gasoline, such
as the delivery truckers, bus opera
tors, etc., and also to force some
political jobholders to stop using
their state and city-owned cars for
pleasure driving.

DEFENSE:
OF Leningrad

The defense of Leningrad, which
apparently was to be undertaken by
the Russians despite the belief Of
most observers that a military in
Movement of the city could only end
in its total destruction, drew the
eyes Of the world, heralded by the
dramatic announcements of Soviet
leaders preparing everyone for the
imminence of battle.
There was only one way to read
this situation, and that was to under
stand that the Russian army re-
sistance on the Finnish front and
against the pincers attack from Lat
via and the south was crumbling,
that the soldiers were fighting rear
guard actions and falling back on
the Soviet's second city, and that
the civilian population was being
armed to fight it out.
Such a battle had been fought
only once before in recent world
history, and that was in Warsaw,
and the pages of that battle were
filed with stories of the glorious
heroism of the defenders, and of
the ruthless destruction of the city
and thousands of its inhabitants in
the course of the battle.
The story was to be even more
bitter and terrible in Leningrad, not
only, believed most observers, be-
cause of its greater size and popu-
lation, but because of the fact that
the German invaders undoubtedly
were not SO ''hot" as they were be-
fore Warsaw, and the Leningrad-
ers were better prepared.
1t seemed that the army retreat
ing toward Leningrad was not, like
the Inflated Polish army, a rabble
in rout, but an orderly group whose
losses might have been heavy, but
which was moving backward slowly.
In fact, as the northern forces,
under Voroshilov himself, were fall
ing back, the Russian communicates
told of encounters in the Smolensk
area, although they had admitted
the loss of the city days before, and
some thought this might mean that
the Reds were driving the Nazis
back in the center.
On the southern front the Ger
mans were consolidating their gains,
and the battle of Odessa, sort of a
foretaste Of the battle-to-be at Lem
ingrad, was admitted by the Ger
mans to have been hand-to-hand
encounter Of the bitterest sort.

UNREST:
Growing in EurOpe

The picture of the growing unrest
in Nazi-conquered Europe continued
to be sketched in, with the reports
ranging from the outbreaks in Vichy
and Paris to the article written for
the American Mercury by Otto
Strasser, the "Black Front" lead
er, who declared there was more
than a possibility of revolution with
in Germany during the coming win
ter.
Dramatic was the broadcast
picked up from England in French
to the people of France in which the
British urged the saboteurs and re-
VOTERS to hold back their chief re-
volt until a signal from Britain, and
then to come out in force against
the Nazis.
Their cue at present, the broad
cast stated, was to continue to ha-
rass the war machine in small, Sc
cret ways, not in open, widespread
revolt.
Yet the report was that the revolts
were continuing, that Petain had set
up courts-martial for saboteurs, and
that opposition elements were being
arrested by the thousands by Nazi
soldiers and a corps of 10000 French
police.
Lieut.. Gen. Won Schamburg, Paris
commander, having taken thousands
of civilians into custody as hostages,
ordered that the prisoners be shot
in numbers to correspond with the
gravity of any offenses against the
Nazi invaders.
Petain's courts-martial were in
vested with the right to give the
death penalty, and the order was
that such sentences be carried out
Immediately and without appeal
rights for the prisoner involved.
Observers held that the severity
of these measures was the true mark
of the seriousness of the revolt. The
Vichy courts were continuing to con-
vict and sentence to death DeGaul-
lists, although they were still at lib
erty, and fighting on one front or
another.

JAPAN:
Not So Vide !?

The statement by Ambassador
Nomura of Japan in Washington
that the bridge between Japanese
and American policy was not so
wide that it could not be SPAWNED
was viewed as perhaps a sign of the
weakening of Nippon.
It was recognized in both Britain
and the United States that the far
eastern menace of Japan was large
ly war of nerves and a battle of
bluff.
The Indo-China move both these
nations could laugh off as a good
joke provided it did not develop into
one of two things-an invasion of
Thailand, or a move against the
Burma road.
Either of these eventualities, it
was understood, could reasonably
set fire to the powder magazine in
the East, yet Japan made no such
move, only issuing statements which
were more and more bitter. Now
Nomura was saying, after 20
minute conference with Secretary
Hull:
"He outlined the position of your
government. I outlined the position
of mine. No conclusions were
reached.
81 believe the gap between the
two can be bridged. It would be
folly to do otherwise. have very
strong conviction that it will be done,
but / don't just know how"
And that, at least the folly" part
of it, was exactly what America ard
Britain had been preaching to Japan
for weeks, since the start Of the
move into Indo-China. 1t offered
room for hope that Japan might yet
decline to be the Axis tool.

IN
FIRST BIG RFC LOAN
is FULLY PAID UP

THE FIRST large loan made by
the Reconstruction Finance corpo-
ration has been repaid to the last
dollar.
In 1881 when the banking situation
was extremely bad in all sections,
Chicago was an especially hot spot.
Many of the smaller banks of the
city had closed and some of the larg-
er ones were threatened with with
drawal demands on the part of de-
positors, which, although solvent,
they might not have been able to
meet because of inadequate cash re-
serves.
Of these, the Central Trust, of
which Gen. Charles Dawes was
president, was one. 1t had a run on
Friday and Saturday, and if it had
continued on Monday without help
from other sources, it would prob
ably have had to close for lack of
available cash. The closing of that
bank would undoubtedly have pre-
cipitated a general bank crash in
Chicago and other cities. Under
these conditions, an appeal was
made by the Chicago Banks to the
Reconstruction Finance corporation
for help for Central Trust.
Some four years ago former
President Hoover told me of the
anxious hours he spent at his sum-
mer camp near Washington during
Saturday night, Sunday and Sunday
night. With direct telephone con-
nections to New York, Chicago and
Washington, he made every posi-
BILE effort to meet the situation with
out loan from RFC. He knew the
loan was justified. He knew Cen
trail Trust could pay out in time.
He knew the integrity and ability of
General Dawes. The general dis
liked the idea of receiving aid from
RFC because the President was his
friend. His bank was in no worse
predicament than some of the 9TH
ers but had suffered the misfortune
of encountering more severe run
than others had up to that Saturday.
Mr.. Hoover told me he made
every effort OF which he was capable
to procure relief for the Chicago
situation without an advance from
RFC. He worked at the job without
any intermission from Saturday I'M
til before dawn Monday, but without
success, and finally authorized the
loan and instructed the treasury to
rush ninety millions in currency to
Chicago.
That the loan was justified was
evidenced by the relief in the situa-
ton of all the larger banks in Chi
cago. That his faith in the integrity
and ability of General Dawes was
justified has been proved by the pay
ment in full Of that 500, ZOO, 900. And
no depositor of Central Trust lost
dollar.

IRAN:
And Britain

The British demand on Iran that
she expel all Nazi agents from her
borders, and the Iranian refusal to
obey, turned eyes again to the
Middle East and Near East, and
showed that Britain, conquerors of
Syria with the aid of the Free
French, realized the need of
strengthening the position of her
forces in that part of the world.
Few doubted the ability of the
British, with the possible aid of the
Russians, to take over little Persia,
and present to the Nazis coming
down from the Ukraine, or wishing
to, firmer front. It also would ex-
tend the common frontier with Tur-
key, and allow Ankara to have an
excuse for maintaining a stronger
pro-British neutrality.
Trans fears were realized when
British troops under the command
of Gen. Archibald Wavell crossed
into southern Iran and at the same
time Soviet Russian forces moved
into northern Iran from the Cauca-
sis. There was resistance encoun-
tered, according to the early reports
from the fighting fronts. London
sources indicated that the move
ment into Iran came to foil Nazi
coup. The move was seen as di-
rect action to the refusal of the Iran
to give a satisfactory reply to the
British and Russian request that
Germans be expelled from the
country.
Tran was powerless militarily,
though with an army technically
measured at 100000, to halt British
invasion in similar force to that
which moved in on well-defended
Syria, but she was in an important
position geographically for Britain's
Middle Eastern defense, believed one
of the next tactical moves of the
war, as the weather in northern
Russia was about to tighten into win
ter temperatures and SHOWS.

RAILROAD WAGES

RAILROAD employees are de-
manding heavy increase in wages.
If they get it, each farmer will pay
more transportation on the products
he sends to market. Each house
wife will pay more for the food for
her family. The railroads will pass
the increase along to their patrons
if they are permitted to do so. II
not, they will probably be in the
hands of receivers and the several
millions of Americans who have in
vested their savings in railroad
securities win lose. Railroad net
earnings will not permit the paying
out of more money unless more is
taken in. It is from such things
that imitation is born.
OLD AND NEW
HITLER IS MORTAL, Just as we
are mortal. His expectation of days
or years Of life can be no greater
than that of other mortals. With his
death win come an end of the vast
structure of hate he has builded on
the bodies Of conquered people, in
GLIDING those Of the Germans. It
will topple and fall. In its place
win come some other demonstration
Of the power politics of Europe. of
which we may or may not approve.
but which we cannot control, no
matter how we tried. 'ii'

PRODUCE:
Or Else

While President Roosevelt struck
out at critics who said that produc-
tion was tagging, quoting chapter
and verse, also war department fig
ures to show Senator Byrd of Viry
ginia that he had been misinformed,
he also put the Kearny, N. j., ship
yard back into production by order
ing the navy to take over the plant.
Secretary Knox sent one of his
admirals to take charge, and his
tory, made when the army took over
the North American Aviation plant,
was repeated.
Yet there was said to be a differ
ence in this latest plant seizure, in
that the navy would not plan to re-
linquish it to the private owners
after putting it in operation, but
continue to operate it as a navy
yard.
Thus the eventuality oddly enough
sought by men and employer as
well in this instance, was brought
into being, an eventuality which the
state authorities of New Jersey
sought vainly and bitterly to pre-
vent.
Sixteen thousand workers were af-
fected, and the work on two cruis-
ers, one almost ready for launch
ing, six destroyers, three tankers
and two freighters was halted, con-
tracts adding up to $493, 900, 900, and
awarded by the navy and the mari
time commission.
The union was the International
Union of Marine and Shipbuilding
Workers of the CLIO.

FINANCIAL TOWER OF BABEL
UNDER CONSTRUCTION

WITH THE HELP and support of
the American people, Samuel insult
built towering, top-heavy financial
structure measured in millions,
When it toppled over and we lost,
we damned insult and demanded his
punishment. insult fed the country
to escape our wrath. He could not
have built that financial myth with
out over support and help.
Today we are assisting in building
another financial tower of Babel that
is measured in billions, instead Of
the insult millions. The govern
ment's expenditures are backed
only by our ability to pay. The bill
lions that congress so blithely APP
propriates must come out of the
sweat Of our brows, and there is a
limit to what we can pay.
When that limit is reached, there
will be crash that will be a hurri-
cane as compared to the gentle
zephyr of the insult failure. The
hysteria or insanity of us Ameri-
cans will be responsible, as we were
for the insult collapse. We are
building the top-heavy structure
that will topple over and bury us in
financial morass. Whom will we
damn for that catastrophe? For
what are your representatives in
congress voting?

KENT:
a Junket

England's younger brother, having
flown the Atlantic, having flown
from coast to coast over Canada, in
speeding war work and training in
the dominion, dropped in on Presi-
dent Roosevelt at Hyde Park, and
then made a rapid trip over Ameri-
can defense centers.
His schedule brought him to New
York, Hyde Park, Norfolk, Va,
Washington, D. c., and Baltimore,
Md, within few days, and he re-
ported himself vastly impressed
with what he saw.
In the latter city, assembled and
nearly ready for its test was a navy
bomber so big that it made flying
fortresses look like tugboats along
side an ocean liner.
Just as a pursuit ship could mes
tie under the wing of medium two
motored bomber, the latter could
sail under the wing of this new
monster of the air, with a wing
spread about block long, and an
ability to fly when and where it
pleased, perhaps to fight its way
successfully through q squadron of
enemy fighters and come through
still flying.
