double e-crossed each other and have
plunged the world into its present cha
otic condition.
Nobody here forgets how Stain double
crossed the French and the British by
inviting their military experts to Mos
COW in August, 1899, when he had already
secretly signed treaty with the Reich.
Nobody has forgotten the sympathy ex-
pressed by the Soviet government to
Yugoslavia and the promise of assist
ance" while two days after that king
doms defeat Stain kicked its represent
atives out of Moscow. Many quarters
feel that what he is reaping now has been
sown by him and his henchmen over a.
period of years.
Of course, Hitler's unwarranted attack
on a nation with which he had signed a
solemn treaty of non-aggression and
which he has repeatedly described in his
speeches as our friend and good neigh
bor' does not make the situation more
palstable 1t makes it clear to everybody
that Hitler's repeated declaration that it
is insane to imagine an attack Of the Axis
against the Western Hemisphere has no
more value than his recent declaration
of love for Russia.
While few months ago the physical
difficulties of such an attack led many
to give little credence to the fear ex-
pressed by our naval and military au-
thorities, the situation is likely to change
completely now. The day the Japanese
are installed in Siberia the possible dan
ger of an invasion becomes an imminent
danger-within "A hours.
Washington feels powerless to help the
Soviets unless Russia is able to help
herself by resisting Germanys blitz.
Should Hitlers schedule of a four to six
weeks campaign become upset, war ma
teriel might be sent over to the Russians
by way of Siberia If the necessary tom
mage could be spared. But if Hitler S
blitz goes according to schedule no
'lease-lend" for the U. S. S. R. can be
| possible.

This saves shipping tonnage on two
thirds of Australian newsprint import

More directly connected with the war
effort is the establishment of a $4,000
900 optical glass factory which is meet

Price Controls Effective.
The primary industries are well de-
veloped. but since the war came fax
cotton and tobacco production have been
boosted.
Exports of importance are 950,000.000
pounds annually of WOOL leather zinc,
wolfram and lead.
Price control has held the cost OF hv-
ing index to a SO per cent rise, lowest
of any belligerent.
officials say Australian morale has not
been shaken by military setbacks and
point to the month following Dunkerque
as typical. Voluntary enlistments in that
period jumped to record of 41,l32.

The New Front

Mistrustful of her German partner.
Russia, after the signing of the nom
aggression pact that encouraged Ger
many to open hoStilities in 1899, padded
her western borders by the addition of
new territory-a slice of Finland won
in a four month war: half of Poland,
shared with Germany after the first
campaign of this war: the three Baltic
countries of EStonia, LatVia and Lithu
ania and the Rumanian provinces of
BeSsarabia and Northern Bucovina
Last week Moscow could be thankful for
these seizures The German advance
moved pretty swiftly, but it moved
through the padding. In week the
NaziS have not reached Russia proper,
where a great line of defense was built
long ago. Perhaps-but nothing is cer-
taln-the campaign will enter a new
phase when the Germans reach those
lines
Adolf Hitler eXulted like movie mag
nate over the colossalness of the fight
launched on the Russian
Greatest border. He saw in it the
BottIe3 greatest meeting of armies
the world had ever known.
But though the field of battle was
tremendous the mode of battle for the
Germans was the same as it was in
France, in Poland, in Norway in the
Balkans. Once more the blitzkrieg filled
the air with manmade lightning.
The chief German interest was in the
long fronts center. At the south Ger
man forces and Rumanian allies under
control of Gen. Ion Antonescu of Ru-
mania tried in vain all week to cross
the Prut River into the buffer state of
Bessarabia. In the far north Finland
declared a state of defense. That Coun-
try. already beaten once during this war
by Russia and still upset by wars eco
nomic consequences, took up arms again
as Russian planes bombarded her air
dromes
But in the center, the finest of the
German troops moved forward across
Poland-the most recent, and also the
first, battlefield in this war-and toward
Russia. One advance took the Germans
across Southern Poland in path about
40 miles wide, probably toward Kiev, the
capital of the rich Ukraine Another
advance took the Germans into Brest-
Litovsk and then northeastward toward
the city of Minsk in Russia proper, while
an army moving through Lithuania also
headed toward Minsk in pincers move

For the first time since the outbreak
Of the war Washington leaders are
eravely concerned over the danger that
threatens if the Soviets are crushed
hostile aircraft by the thousand within
two hours flight from the North Ameri-
can continent For this reason the eyes
of American observers are riveted on
Japan's attitude in this new conflict and
all her moves and actions are followed
with eagerness.
In official quarters, which have as
sumed for the time being discreet
silence, it is believed that if the Ger
man armies are as quickly victorious in
Russia as they have been elsewhere,
Japan will take advantage of the situa-
ton and invade Siberia, which will fall
into her lap once the central authority
In Moscow has been crushed.
Should this happen, Axis airplanes
will find adequate air fields and other
flying facilities in the Maritime Provinces
and the prospect of an invasion OF the
North American continent will become
dangerously close. The problem of this
country will then be the defense of the
Southern Hemisphere; help to Britain
on a larger scale than at present and
the defense with whatever contribution
Canada may be able to make OF the
West Coast from Alaska to California.
And this is not a particularly cheering
prospect.
Japan's Reasoning.
Although at the time of this writing
Japan has maintained an unexpected
reserve, in well-informed quarters 1t is
believed that this reserve will last only
until the results of the German blitz
are more tangible. If the Soviet forces
crumble and the central authority In
Moscow Is compelled to flee before a
victorious enemy, Japan is expected
to make good her decade-long claims
on the Maritime Provinces and possibly
the rest of Siberia as far as the Baikal
Lake
The force defending that part of the
q. S. S. r., estimated at the time at
100000 men with about 300 to 1000
planes. will not be able to stem the
japanese advance. 1t is even concelv-
able that the military leaders in Siberia
might be willing to strike bargain with
the Toxic government The japanese
soldiers have never ceased to advocate
Japan's expansion toward the north
and the move toward Singapore and the
Dutch East Indies has been only the
sequel of the German-Soviet agreement
of 1889. The japanese could not go
against Russia and remain the allies OF
the Reich.
But in most japanese military and
naval quarters the following reasoning
was going on. If Japan directs her mill
tary efforts northward and takes Siberia
she accomplishes two definite things:
She rounds out her empire on the main
land in the north and also deprives
Chang Kai-shek OF his most efficient
supporter. If the war were to turn

Minister of Russia, said six hours after
the war began.
On the second day the heaviest fight
ing was on the plains north of the city
of Brest-Litovsk, in Poland,
Polish between the East Prussian
Front frontier and the Pripet
marshes. Four Russia
armies were said to be guarding this
area-49 infantry divisions. many of
them motorized; three tank divisions,
u armored brigades and seven cavalry
divisions. The greatest Russian strength
was at the point of greatest German
effort. The front-made by the armies
advancing in the Kaunas- -Grodno line
at this point of greatest effort was about
100 miles long. The weather was warm,
and the fiat terrain perfect road for
the passage of the German divisions.

but infantry did not follow the tanks.
BY Friday it was obvious that the Rus
slams were being pushed back effectively
on the whole of the
Russon central front. In the
Withdrawal Wilma sector. and in the
BaranoWicZe sector,
south of Wilma and involved in the pincers
operation, the Russians retired in order
to reform their troops for new opera
tions The Russians went through the
same operation in the Siauliai sector.
Around Bialystok inside the arm of the
pincers reaching toward Minsk from
Brest-Eitovsk, Berlin reported major
fighting. Another major fight was in
progress around Lwow in Far Southern
Poland
The Russian undertaking had its ef-
feet in many parts of the globe. The

The big plant of the Broken Hill Pro-
prietary Co. at New Castle. New South
Wales. is turning out a million tons of
steel year. This plant-the biggest
steel works in the British Empire-pro-
duces greater variety of steel than any
other single plant in the world.
Developed Since 1914.
That Australia's industrialization has
reached point where 48 per cent of
the population now live in six metro
politan centers is all the more impressive
when it is recalled that in 1914 heavy
industries were virtually unknown here
Even at the end of the World War,
Great Britain was supplying Australia's
100000 overseas volunteers with every
thing but uniforms, blankets. rifles, small
arms, ammunition and food.
The swiftly developing industrial
strength of this nation of 100000 per-
sons is evident in the statistics.
For example, the arms and munitions
industry pay roll has increased from
5000 in September, 1899, to 10000 today.
One-tenth of the nations manpower is
involved, according to officials, or the
equivalent of 3,400 900 workers in coun-
try the size of the United States.
Australia has more than 10000 volun-
teer troops abroad. An additional ESQ .
900 are being recruited for home de-
fense, and the nation is committed to
train $1,000 pilots, air crewmen and
technicians. Since the outbreak of the
war the naval personnel has increased

Double Peacetime Expenditures.

increase of s2O0,O00,Oo over the closing
year. and double the total peacetime ex-
penditures.
And Prime Minister Robert c. Men,
zies announced plan of frightened
industrial coordination designed to
mobilize every scrap of raw material
for production, and a manpower check
up which is aimed to divert all free
labor into war industries.
Australian merchant shipbuilding, long
at a standstill, has been revived to help
break the Nazi submarine and air coun-
ter-blockade in the North Atlantic.

earlier advances at wholesale, and are
level. Cotton and wooden clothing have
been most affected.
Not only have prices gone up but
quality has deteriorated appreclably
this spring in some cases, as manufac-
turers have attempted to cut costs by
substituting cheaper fabrics and using
less elaborate workmanship.
Moreover, retail prices at present do
not by any means reflect the full eX-
tent of the advances which have al
ready occurred in wholesale markets;
commitments now being made for the
fall season suggest that retail prices Of
clothing will advance further in the
coming months.
Rugs and Sheets Affected, Too.
Increases in textile prices have alsd
affected other important kinds of con-
sumers' goods such as rugs, blankets.
sheets, pillovcases and other house
furnishings.
Rents, too are beginning to advance
substantially, though the situation Is
far more localized and spotty than in
the case of food and clothing.
Increases have been most marked in
areas directly affected by the dessnse
program where the employment Of
many new workers has imposed strains
on the available supply of housing. They
have been greater in the case of houses
occupied by new tenants than by old
tenants.
Increases have been greatest for those
who could afford them least; rents for
houses and apartments offered at $40
q month or less have been raised sub
stantially more than rents for more ex-
pensivs dwellings.

against the Axis ultimately, the Allies
would not try to force Japan out of ST.
IBERIA at the cost of another war They
would undoubtedly use the most drastic
means to remove Japan from the South
ern Pacific and the Indian Ocean-once
their hands were free again after the de-
feat of the Axis.
On the other hand, if the Western
nations were defeated, there would be
ample time to conquer their possessions
in the south. Hence the japanese re-
luctance to go overtly toward the Neither
lands Indies in Singapore. They have
taken Indo-China because it entailed no
fighting and it was believed that neither
London nor Washington cared particu-
larly what happened to that French col
ony But it is the opinion here that the
japanese have had good inkling of
what would happen between the U. S. S.
R. and the Axis for the last six weeks.
This explains fully ther patience" in re-
gard to the administration of Batavia
which turned down japanese economic
cooperation plans.
Germany Expects Reward.
In military quarters it is believed that
the reward Germany expects from Japan
for assisting her in cOnquering Siberia
will be cooperation of all the elements
OF the Axis to down Great Britain. And
Britain extends practically all over the
world Canada is a part OF the empire.
Hence, a military action of the Axis
against the North American member of
the empire would be logical thing.
The Russians who have looked on avi-
alton as main weapon in the war since
1924 have done splendid work in Siberia.
Their air facilities there could easily
accommodate an air armada of sew
eral thousand planes, according to re-
liable reports The harbors at Vladi-
vostock and Alexandrovak are excellent
naval bases which could be used by the
Axis submarines and the japanese Navy.
If the japanese find that the conquest
of Siberia would not entail too heavy
losses, the probabilities are that the
order to move nodth would be given to
the armies which are stationed in ST.
IBERIA and in Manchukuo.
Significance of Struggle.
Once Siberia is in Japanese hands the
| threat to the North American continent
becomes real and the danger of an in
vasion cannot and must not be over
looked This is the significance, as far
as Washington is concerned of the
struggle between Germany and Russia
This is also the reason why number
of conservative leaders of the admins
tration who have never looked with
favor on the Soviets and have always
suspected the Kremlins trickery are to-
day wondering what assistance could be
given to the Russians to prevent their
early collapse.
