to the Union of Soviet Socialist
Republics. Britain is worried
about possible German attack
after the campaign in Russia is
ended. Furthermore. the armies
in Egypt and the Middle East are
waiting for Hitler and must have
large quantities Of war material
in reserve for the warm welcome
they intend to give him. The
output Of the Russian factories
despite the optimistic official
reports-is totally insufficient for
the new Russian Armies which
are now being created behind the
Volga River and the Ural Noun
tains. The output Of the British
factories is satisfactory but not
sufficient to replenish the armies
of the East which will have to
stand the brunt of the German
attack. Hence we must be ready
to provide arms, ammunitions
and airplanes for about 100000
men-Russians and British.
The American factories cannot
produce, within the next few
months, supplies for our associ-
ates and at the same time pro-
vide the 100000 American SOL
diers with the necessary war
paraphernalia. Hence We shall
have to mark time. tougher our
selectees, but cannot think of
preparing an expeditionary force
until much later-after Hitler
has been definitely stopped in the
Middle East and Europe begins to
crumble from within.

Turks Given Hitler Hint
Visiting Generals Told Now Is the Time
To Climb Aboard Axis Bondwoqon

Sea Of Azov across the Strait of
Kerch and enter the same oil
lands.
A Turkish thrust into Georgia
would put a tremendous squeeze
on the natural defenseS of the
Caucasus; a Turkish lunge into
the Russian forces now manning
the Iranian- Turkish border would
disrupt any plans of Britain and
Russia for defense Of the eau
cAsuS by a joint British Russian
force; it would delay. if not
wreck, the system which is being
set up to get supplies to Russia
via Iran.
Memories of Last War.
Any such Turkish-German
military cooperation would
bring much closer the day when
Hitiers armies could swing in
force through Asiatic Turkey and
into Syria, in a scythe-like adj
vance on Suez.
On the Turkish side, there is
the unhappy memory of the
Caucasian campaign of the last
war, the unavenged defeats of
the old Turkish Army at the
hands of the Russians in bitter
winter campaigning and the
fact that the last peace deprived
Turkey of such rich territorial
prizes as the Russian oil port of
Batum.
All this is perhaps premature
and some of it even imaginative,
since Turkey still has, on paper,
a mutual assistance alliance with
Britain, and the British say
publicly at least-that they eX-
pect the Turks to stay friends.
But Turkey has also a new
friendship pact With Germany,
conclusion of which barely pre-
coded the German offensive on
Russia, and there is no doubt
but that Hitler has chosen this
time to begin preliminary moves
to get Turkey into an actual mill
tary alliance. This much was
in the wind even before the
Turkish generals showed up, and
there is good reason to believe
it was talked about at Count
Cianos latest conference at the
headquarters of the German
Fuehrer.

The Great Game of Politics
Confusion in Defense Effort Attributed to
Multiplicity Of Federal information Agencies

Latin American nelghbOrS, or the
classy circle presided over by Col.
William j. Donovan, where some
200-odd bright young men, includ-
ing Capt. James Roosevelt, are de-
voting themselves to what the Times
calls psychological warfare" or the
Office of Government Reports, di-
rected by the modest Lowell Mellett,
which makes its own digest of Ge-
tense information.
Considering this bewildering sit
uation. with its s10,00O,OOO expendi-
ture, its motley pay roll army and
its many glittering commanders, the
contrast drawn in Golfers this week
by George Creel, who headed the
Wilson War Committee on Infor-
nation, IS an impressive one. 1t
seems that in this as in other mat
tiers the Wilson example might have
been followed to advantage. The
Wilson idea was that while clutter
ing up the landscape with boards
and commissions was an almost
inevitable part of the democratic
process. the war poWecs of the Pres
ident should enable him TO simplify
things. His plan was to designate
one boss for each job, give him
full power and hold him to full
responsibility. President Roosevelt
has proceeded in the exact opposite
direction. He has multiplied the
boards and commissions ard desig-
mated no one as boss.
What Wilson Told CreeI.
So far as publicity and informa-
ton were concerned. in the last war
Mr.. Creel was the sole boss, reporting
directly to the President and operat-
ing much more efficiently than the
present Setup at less than one-tenth
the cost. The striking thing about
Mr.. Creels article, which might prof
itably be pondered at the White
House, is his recollection of what
Mr.. Wilson said TO him when he
gave him the job. Here it is: I'VE
do not need less criticism in time of
war but more Honesty and COM
petence require no shield of secrecy.
The people have a right to know
what is in the mind Of the President
and every forward step should be
taken in the open. Before a sound
public opinion can be formed it
must be lntormed-not manipulated,
not tricked. not Wheedled, but given
all the facts"
"A free people" Mr.. Wilson con-
tinued, ARE not children to be hui
mored, cajoled or lollypopped with
half truths for fear the whole truth
will frlghten them. There. of course,
are military matters that must be
kept secret, but in the great majority
of cases concealments proceed from
bureaucratic distrust of democratic
common sense"
He urged a free and uninterrupted
flow Of news on production and con-
struction-the good along with the
bad. No one will contend that this
is the Roosevelt policy. On the con-
trary, the whole weight of the in
formation services" is exerted to
cover up the failures Of the defense
effort and the truth only energies
through the fearless statements of
such men as Senator Byrd of Vir-
ginia, whom the administration con-
stantly seeks to discredit.

ever dreamed of before and are partly
responsible for the murky clouds OF
confusion in which the whole effort
is enveloped. If there were nothing
else, the multitude of these over
tapping, unco-ordinated and uncon-
nected agencies would destroy any
possibility of efficient functionlng OF
the machine. One way and another,
there are almost as many people en-
gagged in telling what is being done
as there are engaged in doing 1t.
And those engaged in the telling
are often more furiously active than
those engaged in the doing.
1t is strange state Of affairs.
Everybody knows that things would
be improved if the publicity and
propaganda forces were cut down,
condensed and co-ordinated. But,
instead of being cut down, they are
piled up: instead of being condensed,
they almost daily expand. They all
work at high speed and their output
is enormous. Recently, the New
York Times estimated that this in
formation service" will cost more
than SlO,0O0,0O0 this year, and that
there are in it now an army OF 1896
newspaper reporters. clerks, poets,
psychologists, cartoonists, song writ
ers, playwrights and novelty pur-
veyors. These are being added TO
every day. Eight Government
agencies are concerned with de-
Tense information, but there are 26
which operate in the non-defense
agencies and the whole business is
in an awful mess.
Authority Diffused.
That is an indisputable truth,
Nobody is in position Of authority
over these publicity agencies but
several hundred Government Off
Gals have something to say in their
direction. Some are engaged in
putting out favorable publicity
about what is going on Others
are interested in keeping The facts
under cover. Still others concern
themselves with rad;o. moving pic
lures, Illuminated crystal balls and
the interchange of cultural ideas"
And others still point out the
wickedness of thoe who do lot
applaud.
The most recent Of the infor-
nation agencies is the Office
of Facts and Figures But what
this bureau is to do still remains
hazy and unexplained. 1t IS not,
for example, to supersede. curtail

British Woman Preacher,

We shall be an active partner

Naval experts are Of the opin-
ion that Hitter will have diff

tiers it is believed that in the

heavier than it is estimated,
units from the American fleet
might be sent to stop Hitlers
drive in the Middle East.
Not Ready for A. E.. F.
Thus for the time being at
least. Americas active participa-
ton in the world war will be
confined to naval actions in the

u. S. Protests Woundinq

PEIPING. China. Oct. %. - The
United States Embassy charged to-
day the wounding of an American
marine or sentry duty at the En-
bassy early yesterday was the work
of a japanese and strong protest
was presented japanese authorities
here
The protest, handed to the Japan
csc by Richard P. Butrick, counselor
of the Embassy, requested that
prompt and effective measures be
taken to apprehend the assailant.
The marine sustained flesh wounds
in the right foot when the gunman,
dressed in civilian clothes, alighted
from a jinrikisha at the main En-
bassy gate and fired four times. The
American returned the fire but the
attacker escaped in the darkness.

1t is unlikely that within the
neXtN12 months our participation
in the European war will exceed
conveying of merchantmen as far
as the British ports. This will be
of great assistance to the British.
Their navy has suffered heavy
losses since 1899. AS long as the
situation in the Mediterranean
remained relatively quiet, the
royal navy could convoy, mer-
chantmen and transports to the
United Kingdom and TO the
Middle East. But when the Nazis
start a drive for the Mosul oil
fields. the bulk of the British fleet
will have its hands full in the
Mediterranean. Military quarters
in Washington are convinced that
Hitler soon will make a serious
effort to get to the Iraquian oil
fields through Turkey, Syria and
Palestine. He is expected to at
tempt landing at Izmir, Beirut,
Haiffa and Jaffa, from the bases
the AXIS possesses in the Greek
Islands close to the shores of
Asia Minor.
Fleet Now Dispersed.
The British feet is now dis
persed. Besides having a large
number of -of-War in the
American and British navy yards
undergoing major repairs, the
royal navy must patrol the
North Atlantic, the South At
lantic and offer adequate protec-
ton TO the conveys going from
Gibraltar to Suez.
Her task will be increased a
hundredfold when the Germans
and the Italians start their OPP
erations throughout the Middle
East-from Libya 10 Iranian Dor
der.
There is no doubt that within
the next few weeks-and pos
sioly earlier-the zone patrolled
now by the United States Atlantic
feet will be extended as far as the
British ports. The fleet, under
the command of Fighting Ernie
King, is expected to relieve the
British divisions which now are
picking up the merchantmen con-
voyed by American destroyers and
cruisers before they reach the
island. These British units will
be sent to other vital theaters of
operations. The American Navy
will see that the lease lend goods
reach the British ports safely.

Whether Congress chooses to
declare war on Germany is now
a matter of relative Importance.
We are at war with the Axis.
Blood had been already drawn
when II men of the crew of the
destroyer Kearney were killed by
an explosion from a German tor
pedo.
The mere formality of notifying
the government of the Reich
and possibly its aSsociates-that
henceforth all diplomatic rela-
tons are broken off and that
from such and such a date the
Reich and the United States are
at war, is inconsequential. Such
formalities are nowadays as OBJ

BY FRED VANDERSCHMIDT.

While Turkey celebrates the
18th anniversary of the republic,
two Turk generals, ironically
enough, have been visiting Adolf
Hitler on the Russian front.
Turkish Generals do not refuse
invitations like this these days.
Bat the Germans quite frankly
say they gave them an impress
sive picture of the achievements
and successes of German troops
and their allies" Then the
Turkish generals, Ali Fuad Erden
and Hueseyn Erkilet, had tea
in Hitler's tent.
1t is easy to imagine what the
German Fuehrer told them. For
some days, the German high
command has been showing Ru-
manians, Italians and Hunga-
rians into the bloody battle of
South Russia, and giving them
frequent pats on the back in the
daily communicates. RumanianS
were permitted to take the most
of the credit for the capture of
Odessa, and thus Rumanian mill
tary pride was given a strong
hypodermic. italian arms got a
much-needed compliment for re-
ported advances in the Donets
Basin; few days later the Hun
garlanS, in turn, were credited
with helping out in the same
area.
Turkeys Turn Next.
So, this was fine time for Hit
Ter to tell the Turkish military
men: "See-look what you could
do if you were with u.s."
Turkeys 100000 bayonets
could be OF extreme value hence
forth to the German Army,
which is occupied now from
Murmansk to the Black Sea. The
Germans are knocking at the
gates of RoStov- on-Don, key to
the north Caucasus and a point
from which Hitler'S armies might
plunge toward the CASPIAN Sea,
$50 miles to the east. or execute a
sharp right turn and make for
the oil properties at the Black
Sea end of the Caucasian Noun
tains. Another force is fighting
its way into the Crimea. from
which it could pass south of the
iuits first and uses the criminal
tatutes only when offenses recur
