olsk on the pre-war Ukraine border.
 On the northern front-Russian forces were reported stubbornly re- sisting German efforts to break through for Finland as well as to advance from the Ostrov sector on the south toward Leningrad and in the direction of Kandalaksha, on the White Sea south of Murmansk.
 Naxi Casualties Heavy
 The war communique said that heavy casualties were inflicted on the Germans who had entered Soviet territory from Finland in three di- rections-toward Kdnadlaksha, to- ward Ukhta, below Kandalaksha, and toward KexholTn on the Kare- lian Isthmus.
 of the Germans had reached Kexholm they would have advanced to within IS or 30 miles of Lenin- grad, but the conmunique gave no specific indication of the position of the fighting front other than to say 1t was in the Kexholrn direction.)
 Persistent German attempts to cross the Dnieper river in the Bob- ruisk area southeast of Minsk all ended in failure, the communique asserted. and the big German forces engaged were forced to retreat to their original positions under a dead- ly Russian fire.
 Likewise, German attempts to cross to the northern bank of the Dvina river to the north of Minsk were repulsed and the Russian troops held their lines, the communique said.
 Intensive fighting. with big forces engaged on both sides, was reported also in the Ostrov area, opposite the junction of the Estonian and Latvain frontiers: the Lepel sector 60 miles northeast of Mlnsk and the Novo- grad Volynsk sector of the ulrain- ian front, l20 mIles west Of Kiev.

TRYING TOSTOP PERU, ECUADOR

Washington July e-(UP)-The state department, aided by Latin American envoys, today sought to halt the undeclared war between Peru and Ecuador, apparently con- yinced that the hostilities were trl- spired, partially at least, by foreign agents attempting to upset hemis- pheric solidarity.
 It is believed that the United States, Argentina and Brazil would renew the offer they made two months ago to mediate the bound- ary dispute which led to the eon- fiict.
 Acting Secretary of State Sumner Welles indicated concern over the possibility of foreeln agitation of the issue by quoting an old Spanish prcverh, ~E7shing ts often very good in muddy waters" He refused to elaborate ak q press conference yesterday pending fuller reports.

It was believed that some of the newest, biggest bombing planes on the Royal Air Force took part and that the new bombs of terrific de- structiye power were used on some targets.
 London, July s.-CUP)-German 6. attempts to cross the Dnieper river have been thrown back with heavy losses, and the Russians have taken German prisoners in the fighting, q Russian comEnl1nique broadcast by the Moscow radio said today.
 Russian troops are counter attack ing strongly inN the Lepel area northeast of Minsk and have ar- |nihilated" two German infantry regi- ments In flanking and rear attacks in the Novograd Volynsk area of the Ukranian front, 1t was as- serted.
 CTwo German regiments might total 5000 men.)
 Two German infantry battalions (possibly 200 0nnen) and 3S tanks were destroyed in the Bobruisik area, southeast of Minsk, the com munique said.
 Fighting continues with "unabated ferocity" in the Polotsk, Lepel, Nov- ograd Volynsk and Mogilev Po- dolsk areas, the conlmunique add- ed.
 CThe Polotsk sector Is on the Dvina river north of Lepel. The Mo. gilev Podolsk sector Is in the Dnies. ter river area south of Novograd Volynsk.)
 At the northern end of 60O-mile battle front opposite White Rus- sia and the Ukraine, the Russian troops are offering stubborn re- sistance to Germans trying to break through northeastward toward Len- ingrad, the communique said, and SO far are holding the Germans.
 This is In the Ostrov sector south of the Estonian Lake Peipus.
 In the direction of Polotsk, be- tween Ostrov and Lepel, heavy fighting continues, especially in the Borkowichi area.

 Before Germany Acts
tcontinued from Page 1>

"It Is essential that Germany should not be able successfully to employ such tactics through sudden seizure of strategic points in the South Atlantic and in the North Atlantic"
 In 6 fireside chat on May 27, MT. Roosevelt dealt specifically with Att lantic strategy, asserting that Ger many possessed the armed power to occupy Spain and Portugal and to threaten mot only French North Africa and the western end of the Mediterranean, but also the At lantic fortress of Dakar and tha island outposts of the New World the Azores and Cape Verde Is- lands" That address was interpret ed as g warning that Iceland, the Azores and the Cape Verde Islands, but not Dakar, might have to be defended by United States forces.
 The United States already had assumed protection of Greenland and long before. the, outbreak, of war, MT. Roosevelt pledged the United States to defend Canada. And in pre-war days he circled the Western Hemisphere with a bold defensive,lizae and invited the sister republics to help defend, it., That lime has been steadily pushed east ward in the Atlantic, n

 The exieencies of war make strange bedfellows. The tables have turned and the wolves nave fallen on one another. An unex- .nected cornradeship has made Russia an ally of Britain. Keeling under repeated blows England was ready to welcome aid from any source, and now room is made on the democratic front for that great democracy where as Eugene Lyons says in the April American Mercury, "there is a GPU station Sunctioning in every factory and institution, where there are more political prisoners than in the rest of the world put together, where purges and mass arrests and rigid censorships are everyday routine"
 Perhaps the dog-eat-dog phil- osophy appeals to some but we must logically ask who Is saving what, when their strategy leads them to seek m alliance with dic~ tators to defend democracy, with uaiirderers to rescue humanity and with atheists to save yeligion2 And as Senator Taft asked last week, "What country was more responsible for the present war and Germany's aggression than Russia itself? Except for the Rus sian pact with Germany there would have been no invasion of Poland. Then Russia proved to be as much an aggressor as Germany .. Apparently we are to follow Bundles for Britain with packages for Petrograd. Tn the name of democracy we are to make an al. liance with the most ruthless dic. tator in the whole world"
 OUT ON A LIMB AGAIN
 Caught out on the most extreme end of the limb when Hitler talrn- ed cn Russia, the Communist par. ty of the United States perform ed one of its somersaults with its now experienced agility and shak- fly established itself as the enemy of its erstwhile friends. As one ed. itor pointed out, up to midnight of June 22nd they insisted that our country have no part in this "ina- perialistic war: Senator Wheeler, Senator Nye and Col. Lindbersh were great. Americans; peace was their cry. Came another midnight and this vociferous segment of our nation had changed its tune. We must fight; the isolationists became the fifth column; their cry, . cry of battle.

CIVIL SERVICE VS. FARM SECURITY


 CIVIL SERVICE VS.
 uARM SECURITY
 Though pushed aside by war headlines, one of the most sig. amificant battles affecting good government Is now raging back stage over whether the top em. ployes of the Farm Security
 Administration shall receive . pay bonus of about $l,00O. 900 by
 being blanketed into civil serv- ica
 Crashing its teeth over this bat- tie and pulling every political wire in its giant mesh is the Civil Service lobby; which has taken the place of the once strong Dry lobby as the most powerful in Washington.
 & Like the Drys, the Civil Service lobby operates supposedly for the best interests of good government. Basically, however, its motives are entirely selfish. It is out to pro- .tect government workers, no mat- ter how inefficient they may be. And despite the highly successful. synthetic build-up which civil service has received throughout the country, anyone around Wash ington who is honest will tell you that civil service is one great rea- son for government inefficiency and for the tagging defense pro- gram.
 The case of the Farm Security employees is rare instance where both Democrats and Republicans united to kill some political poodle. Even Representative Taher of New York violent critic Of the New Deal, voted for the Democratic amendment which will prevent Farm Security employees from be- ing hlanketed Into civil service a1. tomatically, regardless of their merits. His reason was that this would have cost the Government 4l0,000, 900 extra, giving increased salaries to top executives. but fcrc- ing the discharge ot lesser eSzl~ ployes because there isn't $l0,- lO00,0oO extra in the budget.
 Democrats who voted with Re- publican Taber did SO because they knew that many Farm secu- rity executives. especially in the Northwest, instead of helping the farmer were bankers and small town mos1ls whose interests in the past have been diametrically opposed to the farmers.

 In a radio address, Wood said his committee supported the admins tration in hemisphere defense but opposed intervention in Europe.
 But if hemisphere defense in- wolves the Seizing of the Azores, the Cape Verde Islands, Dakar, or Ice- land as has just been announced, there is room for an honest dif- ference of opinion and there would be no such unity, for this seizure can be considered as another step to edge us into the war, not for defense"
