found 'em fairly incoherent and
hastily wired to headquarters the
message, "Everything's confusion.
Can send nothing"
Which outfit do We hate worst,
the Nazis or the Communists
Perhaps it's a tie. In that case,
should we do any lease-lending to
either one of EN-? Before we try
to answer that question we must
take into account the TACT that
Winston Churchill promises the
Russians all the aid Britain can
give EN-. It's understandable.
Winston's thinking OF Britain's
immediate emergency. II may be
,life-saver TO John Bull to have
the Nazis involved in a terrible
Jam with the Soviet folk. After
and If Herr Hitler's licked, the
British can worry concerning Com
munism at their leisure. Well,
we're pro-British and anti-Nazi.
Then why isn't it our cue to fol-
low Britain's policy Of helping
Moscow against Berlin (Rome isn't
much Of a consideration? Yet 1t
can't but give US terrible gripes to
help Comrade Stain.
Furthermore, we already are
sending so much to Britain that
we've precious little left over to
send to Russia. It's suggested that
the British might pass along
share Of our stuff to the Soviets.
Yeah. but that would leave John
Bull correspondingly shy. 1t would
appear that it will be up to us to
increase our output sufficiently to
supply both Of EN-. It'll be large
order.
Both Sides Cramped
Our isolationists are still pro-
isolation, but Herr Hitler's out
rageousness cramps their style, in
arguing that the rest Of the world
ever could get along with him. Our
interventouists are still pro-inter-
vention, but it embarrasses them
10 advocate Intervention in part
uership with Communism. Ameri-
can Communists are bothered, too.
They've been trying to tie up our
industries, to prevent EN- from
helping the Allies against totali-
tartan combination, with which
the Communists were loosely al
lied. Now that the Nazs and Fas-
cists have hoped Russia, where
do these American labor agttators
get off?
And our Dies committees and
FBTs anti-Communistic activities?
They're alright in digging up Na1
and Fascist agents in our midst,
but they've concentrated especially
upon Communists, but Herr Hit
ler's and Signor Mussolini's dec
larations of war against the latter
have given the Russian bunch q
certain sort Of responsibility.
The general verdict Is that
Adolf, in attacking Russia in vio-
lation Of his pact with Moscow, es-
sentally was after plumber, but
that, incidentally, he deliberately
counted on cumming up public
opinion in countries like this one.
Cannibal as he is, it's widely rec
ognized that he's clever.
Dispatches from Toxic, Chung
king, vichy and Ankara relate
that these capitals are hopelessly
disorganized. Japan's a traditional
enemy Of Russia's, but recently the
pair framed up a rather friendly
treaty, supposedly at Herr Hitler's
dictation. Today he's at war with
the Russians, the Japs are his Axis
partners. What about their pact
with Moscow, which he inspired
Chinese Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek, at war with the Mikado, has
been getting lots Of help from the
Soviets. Can Moscow continue to
send il, while fighting Berlin? II
not, it'll all have to come from the
u. S. A.-another load on US.
VIII France Revolt?
Nobody believes that the French
while beaten. are otherwise than
bitterly hostile TO Germany. Will
they revolt IL Herr Hitler gets up
TO his ears on his east front? Tur-
keys got a treaty with the Ger
mans, but It's likewise friendly
with Russia and neutrality-bound
