Stockholm dispatches that Nor
way was practically in a state OF
siege because of serious outbreaks
on the part Of the people against
German occupational control were
taken to indicate that the pressure OF
the war on the Russian front was
thinning out the German guards and
giving the populations of occupied
countries chance to strike back.
Some analysts pointed to the fact
that this report closely followed the
intensification of the bombing Of
Germany and occupied territory by
the Raj, and the opening of the
'V for victory" campaign.
At all events the word from
Sweden was that Norwegian courts
had been put out of business, and
that any offenders against the law
were now being tried in German
courts-martial.
The possibility that there might be
a British invasion of Norway was
seen in Nazi order that all resi-
dents of coastal, frontier and GER
tain key towns in the interior turn
in their radio sets at once to the
Germans.
Future building Of radios or their
sale to any but Germans was said
to have been fatty forbidden.

RUSSIANS:
SLotU Tempo

Most Of those who conned the
Russo German war scene believed
that the Russians had slowed the
German advance down to less than
q walk.
A realistic Russian source claimed
1900, 600 German casualties on the
long war front since the attack
started, and closed with these
words: land if our losses have been
greater, what Of it,"
That statement gave the picture Of
a nation Of IL, 000, 900 people pretty
well geared for war, willing to fight,
and seemingly possessed of huge
Quantities of arms and ammunition.
It was nearly a repetition of the
Chinese answer to Japan's attack,
resulting III a stalemate war now
wen into its fifth year, with the pres
emit front little changed in o long
times and Chang Kairshek sreput-
edly haying q. larger organized
army on the front than the Japanese
by two or three to one.
= The Japanese casualties admitted.

naittedly much heavier-"but what
Of it?'' a '
Russian sources were, however,
claiming much more than this. They
were claiming not only the actual
destruction of German division aft
er division: they were asserting that
there was definite Maxi withdrawal
in the central, or Sznolensk region,
made necessary by thanking and
'scut-through" movements.
Gloomiest anti-war. correspond

lines within 100 miles Of Moscow,
but few there were who believed
that there was any real capture Of
territory as close to the capital as
that, partly because Of the complete
failure Of the Naxis to bomb Mos
COW with any effectiveness.
Russia claimed that some Of the
sshotsdown bonbefs showed gaso-
line content that told Of having come
from farldistant bases. A real cap
ture Of territory within $50 miles Of
Moscow would make possible land

DIPLOMACY:
War Bitter

It seemed hard to believe that
with 100000 to 100000 human
beings bitterly engaged in a death
struggle on the so-German
fronts, that battles Of diplomats and
economists could stand out in the
important news Of the day, but such
indeed was the case.
Germany was engaged in we'll
defined diplomatic blitzkrieg against
Pan-American solidarity, and many
believed that the entire fabric of
Japanese moves in the South Pa
cific were not only Nazi-inspired,
but executed unwillingly by Nippon
in obedience to direct orders from
Berlin.
The effort obviously seemed to be
so to engage the attention of the
United States at half a dozen diff
ferent points that Americas entry
into the war would be postponed to
the last possible moment.
Or, if that entry could not be
avoided, the Axis intended that the
first attention Of the United States
should be directed toward the East
Indies. thus holding our feet away
from the Atlantic.
There was conceded to be little
change that the outbreak Of border
war between Peru and Ecuador, the
attempted Nazi coup in Bolivia, the
ditto in Argentina, and the strained
relations with Mexico were not part
and parcel. Of q gigantic diplomatic,

Then came Dakar. back onto the
front pages again, with a Nazi de-
mand upon Vichy which seemed not
only aimed at bases in Dakar, but
a new effort to enroll the French
fleet as a direct German-Italian in
strument Of warfare.
These were big stakes, and the en-
tire trend and sequence of them al
most dwarfed the fighting on the
Eastern 'front.', particularly since it
continued to be difficult to gain any
accurate picture of what was going
on in the active fighting. H

GASOLINE:
Curfetv Starts

i The gasoline curfew, ordained by
Secretary Ickes at the request and
instance of the oil producers and
dealers in the eastern United States,
was started on short notice, but
seemed doomed to failure, and some
form Of rationing seemed certain
to be adopted.
Scarcely anybody except some
few oil dealers and some govern
ment officials believed that the clos
ing Of gas stations from 2 p. m. to
z a. m. seven days a week would
accomplish anything except two
things:
It would throw out of their jobs
some 10000 filing station opera
tives and it would change the gaso-
line-buying habits of the people of
the affected districts.
Trucks, many Of them carting
goods in the national defense, were
to be exempted; also taxicabs. and
the buses, most Of which today are
diesel-operated. nearly all carry 20
hours supply Of fuel, the c,lrfew not
hampering their operations what
ever.
Ickes expressed hope was that the
curfew would make the populace
conscious of the shortage, and hence
inclined to cooperate in a restricted
use of the fuel.
But most believed it would simply
mean that those taking long trips
would drive by day instead Of at
night; and that most city jewellers
using their cars to and from work
and for pleasure driving at night
would see to it that they had full
tank at Z o. m.

JAPAN:
P0urs Men In

Creating the greatest army in
point of numbers in her history, with
1900, 900 men reported called 10 the
colors, Japan was warning Of an inn
minent explosion in the Far East,
and was pouring men and munitions
into Indo-C China. -. soA
It was pointed out that large Sec
tons of the Burma road, of Thai
land, of the Dutch East Indies, and
the whole Of the Philippines were
soon to be vulnerable to Japanese
bombing raids as soon as the new
air bases are established through
the Franco-Japanese agreement.
The world repercussions were ter
rife, and to each Of them Japan's
apparent answer was to become
more and more warlike, more and
more apt to predict that only mill
tary outcome could be looked for in
view of the economic pressure be-
ing heaped upon her.
The OPM's dictum that the entire
output of the silk industry would be
needed by the army and navy, pre-
sumably for parachutes sent Ameri-
can women rushing to department
stores to buy up all their stocks.
They asked the women of the ma
ton to s'give the producers Of silk
substitutes" q chance to get their
supply lines organized. Meantime
the hosiery industry faced q close
down, and it appeared that 175,000
workers might be thrown out Of
work. ss
With Britain, Canada, Australia,
the. Netherlands East Indies and
Pan-America cracking down on
trade with Japan, the crisis mount
ed at home and abroad, with the
probability that Japan's mutterings
might soon become something loud
er and palmer before long.
