As much of Tacoma as could
crowd into the auditorium Of the
First Methodist church joined
with the Ladies Musical club Tues
DAY night in a tribute TO Frede-

club chorus for IS years. Actively
participating in the event was the
Orpheus club. of which he has
been director Il years: students OF

Is musical director, and Mayor
Harry p. Cain.
Preceding the program Of the
clubs annual spring concert, Mrs
George c. Hastings. president, ex-
pressed the appreciation Of the
group for Mr.. Wallis work over
the 25-year period and presented
him with a baton on behalf OF the
Annie Wright seminary students.
Mayor Harry ?. Cain. on behalf
OF the city, presented Mr.. Wallis
with hand lettered parchment

designated this as Frederick W.

qualification over the recognition

ties.

have sufficient reserves of
trained men, mechanical forces
and airplanes in the Reich to
fill all the gaps made by the
resistance of the Russians. The
German armies are provided
with mechanical forces and air
planes from their factories in
Austria and CZecho-Slovakia,
while the reserve pools in East
Prussia provide the necessary re-
placements of men.
In well informed quarters
there is a good deal Of specula-
ton as to whether the activities
of the fifth column will help
the Germans break without
trouble through the so-called
Stain line. So far, the agents
of that column have done but
little work at the front. No
panic is being reported from the
industrial cities, which are now
under the German guns. The
population is holding out all
right, but it is uncertain when
there might be some uprisings
in those cities. 1t is known that
the Germans have done a lot of
work during the two years they
have been the ally of the U. S.
S. r. They have been particu-
larly active in factories and am
munition plants. The situation
there is unknown to outsiders.

city where Car Nicholas and the
other members of the imperial
family were assassinated on July
IS. 1918.
Official reports from Moscow
indicate the German attack was
complete surprise for the Rus
slams during the first few days Of
the attack. 1t appears that for
reasons known only to the Soviet
general staff, the entire first
line army was strewn along a
thin line over 1000 miles. In no
place, these reports say, was the
depth greater than 35 miles.
1t was long ribbon which the
Germans cut at will.
There is no doubt that the
Russian troops have fought with
unbelievable bravery. But they
were outnumbered in tanks and
airplanes every time the Ger
mans attacked. Hitler's mechan-
lied forces had the initiative,
thus they chose the points which
they intended to break and at
tackled those points with three
to-one superiority. Although the
Soviet armies are superior nu-
merically to the invading forces.
the Russian forces were out
numbered at the points chosen
by the Nazis for attack.
Thus the first 10 days Of the
offensive were favorable to the
Reich. The Russian high COM
mand seemed dazed and did not
dare make too large a transfer
Of troops for fear of uncoverine
other important strategic points
such as those covering Kiev.
Three Defensive Lines.
From the few accounts about
RusSia's defensive works. it ap-
pears that it possesses three such
lines. A covering chain of forti-
flcatlonS was in front of the
Minsk region. This has now
been taken by the Germans. The
second and repeatedly the most
powerful of all lines is in front
Of Moscow extending from Len
ingrad TO Kiev. Finally. the
third one is the Ural Noun
tains.
At present, it appears from the
conflicting communicates that
the second, the Stain line, is
now being attacked. Russian
soldiers throughout history have
been considered much better
on the defensive than ON the
offensive. Hence in some mill
tary quarters it is believed the
German forces will meet more
stubborn resistance on that line
than in any other place they
have been fighting since 1899.
The reason competent military
observers are pessimistic over
the Russian prospects in this
campaign is that the Soviets
have lost a tremendous amount

but agreed also to the closed shon
and checkoff, constituted the great
est stride toward the labor-monon-
oly goal yet taken. But there have
been others, and it will be Slrrnris-
ing if there are not still others
almost as great.
There is no use blaming the labor
leaders. They live by the union
game. Labor politics is profitable
business for them. Some are honest
patriotic men; others, as has been
shown by a series of indictments
convictions and exposures. are
criminal racketeers and crooks. But
good or bad, it is natural for them
to take advantage of the opportu-
nifty. With the most sympathetic
labor administration in our history
steadily blocking every effort to
modify the laws which permit the
labor leader TO put his heel on the
employers neck; with administra-
ton Spokesmen actually encourage
ing strikes, and with their repre-
sentatives in key Governmental po-
sitions, it would be unnatural. in
deed, if the paid labor profess
sionals did not strive for the union
monopoly which is their dream.
Sees Irresistible Power"
Should that be realized, it would
be a bad day for this country. Re-
cause if, through closed shop, check
off and complete unionization of
all labor, the monopoly now sought
should be acquired, the power of
the labor leaders would be ire
sistible. They would become the
real rulers of the Nation. superior
to the Government itself. with a
political weight greater than any
group ever welded before. They
would dominate and control every
business, big and little. They would
automatically be supplied, through
the checkoff, with almost unlimited
funds. They would be far more
influential in Congress and in polit-
ical campaigns. They would be our
masters.
Once let this labor monopoly be-
come fact and the people of this
country would live under a tyranny
as intolerable in many Wavs as anv
of those We denounce abroad. Prob
ably it will not come to that. The
Government may change its atti-
tude, or the people may revolt. re-
fuse to accept such degradation.
Perhaps feuds and frictlons among
the labor politicians themselves will
make a successful monopoly i'm
pOssible-certainly, as a permanent
proposition. But If anyone thinks
that this monopoly is not the thing
for which they aim, he is rejecting
realities. And If he does not be-
lieye that there are young radicals
within the administration who are
cooperating hopefully with these
labor leaders, he does not know the
facts.

planes in the first 10 days Of
the war. For it seems that the
figure of 1900 tanks and armored
cars announced by the German
headquarters is correct. The
Russian air force also has suf-
fered severely.
According to the best avail
able reports-and these are
mainly speculative-not more
than 1000 first-line planes are
now at the disposal of the Soviet
high command. The balance are
outmoded machines which are
satisfactory for training pur-
poses or for fighting the Ru-
manian and the Hungarian avi-
alton but far too slow to meet

Washington indicate that the
Russians are determined to de-

planes are concentrated in that

German Losses Heavy.
There is no question that the
German losses have been heavy.
Hitler's general staff has fol-
lowed its usual tactics: Complete
disregard of lives and war mate
rial provided the objectives can
be attained. While nobody has
been able to figure the German
casualties, since no foreign OBJ
servers are at the front, it is
believed from Russian reports
that at least 20 per cent Of the
invading force has been lost so
far. This estimate has been
reached by discounting the usual
exaggeration Of the Russian off,
cial communiques.
The reason why these losses
have not prevented the German
armies from continuing relent-
lessly their offensive is that they

about labor stoppageS. AS result
there is a tendency to regard their
threat. which seemed very great, as
having vanished. But that isn't so,
and it will be a great mistake to
assume it. The truth is that our
labor troubles are not over; strikes
have not disappeared. And all our
labor leaders have not become patri-
otto over night. Not by any manner
of means.
Actually there are still plenty of
strikes. but, for one reason and an
other, they are not at the moment
as neWsWorthy as before. There is,
for example, a big building g-trades
strike in progress in New York, in
which the teamsters have joined.
There are numerous small strikes in
different sections. And there will be
more. That is agreed even by those
most buoyant about the present
improved state of affairs.
Various Ideas Advanced.
In this connection, various inter-
esting ideas have been advanced.
One is that the new war has altered
the Communist party line and that,
Hitler now being the common enemy
of Russia and the United States, it
is no longer Communist policy to
foment strikes and impede defense.
This has plausible sound and there
is some truth in 1t. Certainly it is
true so far as concerns some of the
Communists, dominant in c. I. 0.
unions, who initiated strikes such as
plant. But it is not generally true.
It is not true that the general
Communist policy of promoting in
dustrrial strife in this country has
changed, and it is not true that
the Russian-German conflict has
DETECTED the influential labor lead
ers and their New Deal associates
in Washington from the basic pur-
pose which they have cherished
since the limited emergency" was
proclaimed by the President last
year and which was strengthened
by the unlimited emergency" pro-
claimed month ago. 1t is impor-
tant that the American people
should understand what this pur-
pose is and what achieving it would
mean to them. 1t is important that
they should not be confused by talk
about the change in the Communist
party line or anesthetized by the
false inactivity of the labor poll
ticians.
Push Union Frontiers.
To state it briefly, the purpose
is TO utilize the national crisis TO
push the union frontiers forward
TO the point where a tight labor
monopoly will be so firmly estab-
lished that neither man nor woman
can get or hold job unless he or
she is a member of a union. That
Is the idea: that is the goal. That
is what they are after, and in the
last year they have made con-
siderable progress toward it. OF
course, the extraordinary capitula-
ton of the Ford Motor Co., which

personal friendships to supersede
the national interest when it is so
plain to be seen that national unity
cannot be achieved by class warfare
inside the United States. The sores
and wounds of eight years of class
battle might have been in large part
healed by the war emergency, but
Mr.. Roosevelt's aides are reopening
those wounds and making them
worse, using the war emergency as
an excuse.

err see us do he made very clear
way back last summer. He would
rather" see us make a non-ag-
greSSion pact with a victorious
Germany. What he advocated
in Chicago last summer was that
we recognize the fact that Ger
many was going to win the war,
and then make a treaty with the
Nazis. He said that without
such a treaty with the domin-
ant power of Europe" there
would be no possibility Of peace.
Now, what it would be in
teresting to hear from Mr.. Lind
bergh is whether, after the at
tack on Russia, he still thinks
that a treaty with Hitler is a
treaty.
1t is very curious that no word
Of condemnation of Russia
passed Mr.. Lindbergh's lips as
long as Russia was, in effect, an
ally of Germany. On the con-
trary, Mrs. Lindbergh assured us
that both Communism and
Naziism were Waves of the
Future"
Wholeheartedly and whole
hoggedly, both Lindberghs sWal-
lowed the then official Nazi
version that this war was against
British imperialism, and that the
future lay with the socialist
states. Nor did Godlessness bother
either of them.
Mrs. Lindbergh, in her book,
put Christianity and capitalism
in the same paragraph as two
things she was no longer quite
sure about.
Why Issues Confuse Him.
The longer this war in Europe
continues, the more confused the
issues become" said Mr.. Lind
bergh.
The issues are confusing to Mr..
Lindbergh because he has been
following the Nazi party line in
interpreting the war. That GER
tainly makes things confusing,
because Hitler's war was first to
free and unite Germans. then
against bolshevism, then against
pluto democracy, then against the
British conception of the gentle
man. then against the division
of Europe and the destruction Of
its unity, then for freeing" such
little states as Slovakia and
Croatia, and now against every
thing. Hitler has fought for ma
tionalism and against national
ism, for socialism and against
socialism, for Europe and against
Europe.
But the British viewpoint has
not been in the least confusing.
Neville Chamberlain stated it at
the outbreak of the war. If I
should think that one man
wished to dominate the world, 7
should think he would have to
be stopped
Stain Kept Armies Home.
Nobody is fighting Nazi-ism,
as a philosophy of life for Ger
mans If the Germans like it,
why it's okay with the rest of
us. What the world has been
fighting has been Nazi-ism's ag-
gressions against the world. The
world did not go to war against
Communism because Stain kept
his armies at home. He kept
them home, that is to say, until
Hitler began moving his.
