BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Once again the American peo-
ple-and the peoples of other
countries-have been left in
state of uncertainty as to the
ultimate policy of this Govern
nent toward the war. President
Roosevelt, returning from his
dramatic and potentially impor-
tant meeting with the British
Prime Minister, Winston Church.
i'll, somewhere in the Atlantic,
has. allowed himself to be quoted
as saying that this country is no
closer to war than before this
historic conference. Screaming
headlines in the newspapers
throughout the country appeared
on Sunday-"Roosevelt Declares
U. S. Is No Nearer War;" for ex-
ample. The whole implication Of
these headlines-and the inter-
probation placed upon them by
the man in the street is that this
country is unlikely to 20 to war.
True those are not the words
used by the President. But they
express the immediate reaction
to the Presidents statement.
There is another Interpretation
which might be applied to the

receive anybody considered as
having insufficient rank. Since it
is impossible for President Roose-
welt to visit Moscow, the choice
of the head Of the mission will be
difficult. Harry Hopkins has seen
Stain; he has enough rank, but
1t is uncertain whether he would
want to return to Moscow. What
appears certain is that President
Roosevelt's representative will be
either a cabinet officer or a po-
litical man with world-establish-
ed reputation, like Wendell
Wilkie. for instance.
Difficult Question.
The question of supplying the
Soviet Armies with all they need.
after the present strenuous cam
paign which has taxed Russia's
resources drastically, will be the
most difficult task we have en-
countered.
From all available information
out of Russia-and it Is scanty-
the manufacturing facilities in
the west of the Soviet industrial
belt are relative. There are fac
tories in the Urals; there are
raw materials, too. But neither
is in sufficient quantities to meet
the requirements of an army of
at least 100000 men. This is
the estimated figure of the Rus
sian strength at present.
There are three possible routes
through which we can reach the
Soviets.
One is across, the Atlantic to
Murmansk and Archangel. This
Is the shortest but the most diff
cult. It means reaching the
Arctic Circle. The port of Muir
mansk is open the whole year;
Archangel-a better harbor-is
blocked by ice from November to
March or April. This route was
used In the last war, when new
railway from Murmansk to Vo-
logda, thence to Moscow, was
established. The route was then
comparatively safe. German
submarines were attacking trans
ports, but these were far from
their base. Once the material
reached Murmansk or Archangel,

point of disintegration. Should this
forecast proye to be accurate, then
there would be no reason why the
Germans shouldn't keep their rende-
vous at the Persian border. This
would Immediately raise a tremen-
dous threat to the allied position in
the Middle East. Vigorous British
counteraction must follow, and 1t
wouldn't be surprising to see Persia
become the cockpit of that part of
the world.
Because of this possibility. Presi-
dent Roosevelt's arrangement to
have American long distance bomb
ers ferried to the Middle East will
ease the allied position markedly.
Lack of these big machines has cost
the British heavily In the Near
Eastern and Balkan fighting of the
past year.
Those planes and others which
are to be sent to Western Africa
will be even more valuable If Hitler
fails In his Russian campaign.
, Should that happen he may be ex-
pected to fling his forces once more
into the battles of the Mediterranean
and the Atlantic. This undoubtedly
would involve his further attempt
to take over French colonial bases
like Dakar. The air fleets would
figure heavily In such q situation.
Evening star., 1941-08-19

cargoes could be sent to Basra,
thence by a dirt track to Iran
and the Caucasus. 1t is, of
course, unthinkable that this
route could be used in the near
future.
If the Russians could hold on to
the port of Batum in the Black
Sea some war material might
conceivable be sent that way.
Consequently, it appears that
only one route is possible-from
the West Coast to Siberia. In
order to take fun advantage of
that route, two things are essen
tial: The Japanese must not op-
pose the sending Of war material
to Russia, and engineers and
other specialists must be sent out
there to organize and build new
roads and railways capable of
taking care of the huge quanti-
ties of supplies for the Soviet
armies.

Certainly Britain seems, in far
better case than she did last year
after Dunkerque, despite the fact
that she has been brought face
to face with possible disaster in
the Near East and in the Med
iterranean. The attack of Hitler
on Soviet Russia has given the
British respite. 1t has made
the war seem farther away to
the American people-because of
the stubborn fight the Russians
have put up. But what will be
the situation if Russia crumbles
before the German attack? The
President and Mr.. Churchill have
expressed the opinion that Rus
sia, aided by winter weather, will
be able to hold out. Russia may,
and if it does, the picture for
Hitler will be far darker.
The President and Mr.. Church.
i'll have come to some very def
mite and practical decisions re-
garding possible military opera
tions, to meet certain eventuan-
ties. Particularly in the Far
East. Certainly that is what the
Japanese appear to believe-and
probably fear. If they did, the
American and British people
still remain in the dark. 1t
seems incredible that they should
have agreed upon what should
be done after the defeat of Hit
ler, and made no plans for Hit
ler's defeat-even to the extent

The early morning attendant At
the public garage I use is . native
of the Ukraine-born in the wild
Carpathians where they believe in
vampires-and each day he checks
eagerly with me in an effort to ex-
tract facts which will feed his burn
ing hope to see Hitter smashed.
This morning he was gloomy be-
cause OF the plight of Odessa, and
one had to agree with him that this
great Black Sea naval base was in a
bad way, especially with the German
Luftwaffe raining destruction on the
city. There was no denying either
his pessimistic prediction that the
Hitlerites were likely to overrun
the whole Ukraine, at the rate they
are going.
However, he frightened up mark
edly when I observed that this
didn't win the war and in fact
wouldn't be great asset to Herr
Hitler unless he was able at the
same time to smash the Red Army
and thus terminate the whole Rus
sian show. The way things stand
now. the Bolshevists are simply
pulling back to fresh defenses and
making the Nazis fight for every
foot of ground.
I remarked that. barring an un-
expected collapse of the Muscovites,
Hitler would have to fight his way
clear across to the line of the Volga
where 1t enters into the Caspian,
and then drive south through the
Caucasus to the Persian border.

Must Advance IS Miles a Day.
How far is that" demanded my
Ukrainian, land how long has Hit
Ter got before the bad weather."
A rapid calculation gave a rough
estimate of some 800 miles to the
volga and another 600 to the Russo
Persian border. Maybe 40 days re-
main of good weather, although
heavy rains have been falling In the
Ukraine already. That would mean
an advance average of some IS
miles a day for the invaders.
Can the Germans do it7" insisted
the garage man.
What a question:! Any one who
could answer that would be wizard.
However, I replied that, while
strange things happen these days,
If a field marshal saw his army
travelling that fast against enemy
opposition he would stick straws in
his hair and gibber.
So long as the Red resistance
holds out, the chances of the Ger
mans to complete their conquest be-
fore the arrival of bad weather are
not bright. Furthermore we mustn't
overlook that the Urkaine isn't the
whole show. AS the Nazi army ad-
vances eastwood In this southern
zone, so the German forces to the
north must hammer their way for
ward to protect that right flank in
the Ukraine and also to destroy
Russian resistance in the north.
Still, We have yet to learn how
much truth there is in the Nazi
claim that the Red defense is on the

The second route, much longer,
is from the West Coast of the
United States to Siberia. Vladi-
vostok in the maritime provinces

are the best available harbors.
The distance between these ports
and the American ports is about
5000 miles. But Japan is in be-
tween. Will the japanese re-
main impassive when our trans
ports begin to ply the ocean be-
tween the two coasts? 1t is more
than doubtful. Besides the fact
that Toxic considers Russia an
enemy, the Japanese-German
agreement provides that Japan
not tolerate any assistance to an
enemy of the Reich. The Japa-
nese could take leaf out of our
own book regarding territorial
waters. They, too, could decree

stop them.

Presidents assertion that this
country is no nearer war than
when he met Mr.. Churchill. 1t is
that the country already is deep
ly involved through its program
of all out aid to Britain-and
more recently its promised aid
to Russia. To many, the Nation
is already at war in every sense
except that the armed forces
have not yet started trading
shots with the Axis powers.
Situation Is a Let Down."
Following the tremendous ex-
citement over the Presidents
visit with the British Prime Min
lister and the assertions that they
explored every avenue of COL
laboration in this war, the Presi-
dents reply to the question: Are
we any closer to entering the
war, actually" is a let down. It
Is reminiscent of the old saying
about the King of France who
marched up a hill one day and
marched down again the next.
And yet there is nothing tangible,
nothing in which to set the
teeth, in the Presidents ex-
pressed opinion that this coun-
try is no nearer to a fighting war
than 1t was before he and Mr..
Churchill 60 together. 1t is all
a matter of psychology, perhaps.
The President has insisted
from the start of this country's
program of aid to the British and
other democracies fighting the
Axis powers that there would be
no A. E. F, that this country
would supply the arms and other
materials and that the other
nations would do the fighting.
Mr.. Churchill has broadcast to
the world that if the British are
given the arms and the ships
they need, they will do their own
flghting-and win.
Perhaps the President and Mr..
Churchill are both right. At any
rate, that is the kind of thing
that the American people have
been trained to believe for many.
many months. So strongly have
they been impressed with this
idea that the United States is to
be nothing more than an arsenal
for the democracies that many of
the people doubt the wisdom of
building up the Army-of keep
