minister.
Petains speech of Wednesday
was still a source of amazement
to diplomatic circles here for the
frankness with which he discussed
the signs of popular distrust of
his regime. 1t had been common
knowledge that British and Free
French propaganda had created
grave problems, but the subject
never had been discussed openly

believed that by bringing the mat
ter into the open, Petain hoped
to gain confidence in the mea-
sures he is taking to deal with
the dissension.

There still were strong Russian
armies fighting in the bend" but
MISUNDERSTANDING the silence
OF Moscow-were that the Soviet
forces would be confined to last
ditch defense of the grain port
Of Odessa and perhaps OF the Dnep-
ropetrovsk industrial region. al
though the main industries are on
the west bank Of the Dnieper and
may be abandoned.
The important military factor at
the present stage Of fighting in the
Ukraine. however, was the ability
of the Red army in the south to
remain intact-that is, to frus-
trate the German objective OF de-
4
force-and then to set up a strong
defense OF the great Donetz pow
er and industrial basin.
The German advance forces that
reached the Black Sea between
Odessa and the Bug River, ac-
cording to the Berlin high COM
mand, probably were advanced
mechanical units seeking to pave
the way for mechanical infantry.
The Nazis, however, had not
reached the important Russian
naval base Of Nikolaev near the
mouth Of the Bug River and there
were no definite indications Of
their positions in relation to the
Dnieper.
Nikolaev is an important naval
defense center for the Russians as
IL is the terminus OF four railroad
lines as well as a big ship build
ing center.
