This optimism Of So-rapid opera

by the German high command and
confidential news from Moscow.
Japan maintains no normal dip

Points Out:
Defense Housing Program
Requires Long Vision
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON

4 BILL asking for an additional
~ large appropriation for dc
, Tense housing raises the question
OF how these funds shall be eN-
pcndcd-for what type of housing
with what sort Of financing.
As the war effort goes forward.
steps are being taken and &C
lions started which influence the
whole social economy and VIII
have consequences outla>ung the
present emergency.
II. as a result of a housing
emergency due 10 the sudden eX-
pansion Of defense industries. the
principle is established that the
government must SubSidize rents
for workers. that principle VIII
not be abolished with the end OF
The war emergency.
TItT there is housing short
1 agc calling for government
actian is undcniahlc The depart
ment Of labor has estimated that
100000 workers are engaged IN
the defense industries, and other
agencies report shortage OF some
100000 dwelling units.
Congress has made all IFS APP
preparations for defense housing
on the condition that they shall
be used only where private capt.
tai fails TO supply the shortage.
But u can also be argued that
aS long as the predominant gov
eminent policies with regard 10
defense housing are followed, pri-
waite capital never will supply the
shortage.
For the policy of the govern
ment that involves a heavy sub
Sidy 10 a small percentage of de-
Tense workers creates a situation
with which private industry can
not possibly compete and will
eventually create demand for
subsidy on the part of all work
ers.
TIIE government ought therefore
Il to set up a defense housing
program of such nature that il
could be followed by private CAPT.
tai and create a model for further
housing activities after the war
emergency has passed.
In other words. the defense hous-
ing program should be of such a
nature that il can pave the way
fer eFandiese SLIM clearance and
rehousing projects in the future
in which both private and public
credit and capital might be en-
gagged.
This would mean that the houses
must be economic-that the work

RETREAT SAVES CROPS

Inc u e m a n were reported
pressing the Red forces particu-
larly hard in the direction of
Tarnapol and Kiev in order 10
give no time for the devastation
of crops by the retreating Red
forces.
Should the Stain Line he over
run. German military sources eX-
pect the Communist chiefs will
endeavor 10 regroup the Red
armies in reserve on the line east
ward from Moscow, extending
down into the Ural Mountains.
In Axis quarters, there is specu-
lation as to whether Stain will
attempt TO emulate Car Alex
ander in burning Moscow on the
approach of Napoleon.
Should Hitler be successful in
his conquest of the Ukraine and
Russia, it may affect the fate Of
more than 100000 Jews there,
and 100000 in the Ukraine.
Together. 100000 are in Po-
land and an aggregate of 100000
Jews in Hungary, Rumania and
Bulgaria.
Therefore, Hitler's conquest TO
the East may be fateful to S,000,-
900 Jews in the respect, at least,
of anti-Semitic laws.
This may stimulate a plan for a
national Jewish state somewhere.

The German populace is showing signs of crack

The Germans are good winners but poor losers.
Nobody expects them to stand up under punishment

bombing of their civilian population. They say 1t IS

ton camps with occupied France faring better than
that which had not been occupied with the steadily
increasing tempo of British bombing of it's cities, and
with men such as Darlan who hated Britain more

different
It was matter of time and of how hard the
pressure was applied, as we'll what temptations

are now dominated.

The Increasing Strength OF Willkie

Wendell Willkie is stronger politically than he
was before the election. That fact is generally
recognized.
He is weaker with Big Business, but much
stronger with the common people, with whom most
of the votes lie.
It is highly significant that Mr.. Wilkes weak
with Big Business and increasing strength with
the people due directly to the manner in which he
has gone along with the President in his foreign
policy and program to defend America.
Mr. Willlzie has shown that he is big enough to
put country above partisan politics. The people like
that.
Since the election he has appeared in the role Of
a patriotic American, rather than a defender and
champion of special interests.
Big Business has not liked that.

High recently completed a trip

The author said there were at
least $4,000 Germans in Mexico,
many OF them Nazi propagandists
and spies. He warned that if Hit

would collapse, like house OF
