New Russian Offensive Shows
Soviet Power Not Near Collapse
BY MAI. PAUL c. RABORG
Written Especially tor International News
SerNice and Detroit Times

The Russian offensive be-
tween Rzhev and WANNA in
the north-central portion Of
the Soviet-Nazi line is a bold
stroke on the part Of the Red
army 10 relieve the pressure
lin the south-Stalingrad and
the Caucasus.
Many observers did not be-
Dieye Russia had sufficient
strength left for such a blow.
The Soviet situation is in
deed grave.
The Red and Nazi armies
have been at death-grips in
western Russia practically IS
months. The losses on both
sides must have been enor-
NOUS, but in spite of this the
Soviet defense has never coll
lapsed.
The Red armies were the
FIRST 10 stop the Nazi blltz-
kfieg.
SOVIET RUSSIA must be
suffering sorely through losses
Of men, arms, material and in
particular oil and gas.
But still at no point in their
ong line is there any sign
BIZ an absolute break and in
my opinion there will be no
collapse.
If this new offensive 10 the
north and west of Moscow is
buccessful, Stain will almost
without doubt bring relief 10
he southern end of his line.
Should this Soviet drive
break through completely, the
Red army could turn south in
the rear of the remaining Ger
man positions and collapse
them.
1t is q desperate situation,
md desperate means have
been coolly applied to cure it.
There is apparently consid-
prable misunderstanding as to
status of fighting in the eau
casus, and this is largely be-
fause of lack Of understanding
II the geography in that area,
particularly the mountains.
The northern point of the
Caucasus Mountains begin

a miles south of the Sea of

There Is a narrow corridor

whom the American people are warranted
in having-and do have-eXceptional con-
fidence.
Mr.. Bernard NJ. Baruch, as chairman
of the committee, and DR.. James B. Conant
and DR.. Karl T. Compton as his associates,
were competent to make an exhaustive
investigation.
There is every reason to believe they
have done so.
IT HE finding of necessity which they
have made, therefore, has the merit
of competent and adequate research, Of
indisputable authority and Of unques-
toned reliability.
National acceptance of the restrictive
program proposed and in imminent pros
pect is mandatory.
1t is not expected to be or designed
to be a pleasant program.
Mr.. Baruch and his associates did not
undertake their study with any hopes or
illusions of achieving miracles.
In fact, Mr. Baruch lis reputed to have
said at the outset that no program of per-
lection was possible, that it could not be
shaped to please everybody or TO avoid
hurting anybody, and that the essential
objective was a program accomplishing
the "mostest frstest.'
II HE nation is assured that purpose
l was pursued reentlessly, and the
Judgment reached conforms to the real
facts found
Therefore, the American people must
accept the situation with courage and con-
duct themselves with resolution.

Secret Of U. S. Respect
Is Fairness in Dealings
By BENJAMIN DE CASSERES

ing and raping for Ia years, he
wrote to Gaspard Gourgand:
81 have been reading three
volumes on India. What rascaIs
those English are"
OF course, Britain at its worst
in India or anywhere else never
did one-twentieth the harm 10
governed peoples that Napoleon
did. Rascal" Well, certainly
these conquistadores have no
sense Of humor.
Now. let's take a look at
India and see just how far she
is "enslaved."
India is about half the size
OF the United States. 1t has
a population of about 100000
600. Nine-enths of these peo-
pie are rural. There are only
80 cities of more than 100000
population. Twenty-four tongues
are spoken. 1t has more differ
ent races than there are in
Europe. Twenty-Five per cent
of the entire population is
Moslem.
GREAT BRITAIN has never
" interfered with the beliefs,
habits or the mode of living OF
these peoples except when their
customs we're too barbarous or
obscene TO be tolerated.
The government is federal.
Powers are divided between the
British and the rulers Of the
provinces. These provinces are
like our states. They enjoy home
rule 10 the limit. The Indian
rulers of these provinces are, as
in our states. responsible 10
elected Indian legislatures.
The central government is a
two-house legislature. Supreme
executive authority Is vested in
a British viceroy and council.
This council is composed OF ii
Indians and only four BritsherS.
The viceroy is bound by the de-
creeS of the council. He can. il
is true. override it's DEGREES, but
has not done so since 1879.
THE Indian government is
Il fiscally self-governing. 1t
can put a tariff on English
goods. India pays no taxes, di-
rect or indirect, to Great Britain.
She has a standing army of
1,250,000 men, with 100000
troops serving abroad. Its air
force is manned almost wholly
by native instructors. Ten out
of every IL judges are Indians.
In the civil service, the higher
engineering posts and in the
medical service the natives pre-
dominate.
Where is the oppression" in
that? Where is the rascal
The real Indian oppressors
and "rascals" have been the In
dian governing classes. The
greatest enemies of the Hindus
have been-the HinduS.

THE special fact-fnding committee
l appointed by the President to sur
vey the rubber problem has recommended
a drastic program of national gasoline
rationing and restricted civilian use of
automobiles.
The President has announced he will
put this program into effect las rapidly as
arrangements can be made"
Inevitably and very soon, therefore,
the revolutionary change in the nations
way of life which this program proposes
will be made.
There is no concealment of the incon-
veniences and hardships, sacrifices and
losses which such program will impose
and there should be none
Business will be grevously hurt. Thou
sands of people will have their normal
occupations disrupted. Radical, and in
some instances tragic, economic and social
dislocations will be the unavoidable result.
Only the conditions Of utmost necessity
would justify national assumptions and
dislocations of this extreme nature.
NF COURSE it is condition of utmost
~ national necessity with which the
Presidents committee, the President him
self and the nation at large are confronted
"a condition of dire shortage of materials
vital to the winning of a war for national
survival.
Since there is no doubt or disagree
ment that the country has been pre-
cipitated into a condition where this
disastrous shortage Of materials actually
does exist, there can be no holding back
from the severe and unpleasant process
of alienation.

investigated the rubber situation is com
posed of three eminent Americans IN

WHAT is the secret OF the
w strength of Americans with
the other peoples of the world?
What has given them their
great prestige among those who
have been conquered or who
have been enslaved by their own
rulers?
On the purely physical side.
the answer TO that question
might be made that il is pri-
marily our size, our power, our
resources and the glamour OF
q higher level of living.
But that really does not an
swer the question as whole
far from it. For this country
enjoyed the trust and was the
hope in the eyes of millions Of
Europeans when we were not
powerful, not rich, when our re-
sources were not yet known and
when the level of living here
was not far above that of Eu-
ropeans.
THE answer must be found in
a psychological reason. And
that reason, / believe, is ex-
pounded in the following letter
from Arthur Price of San
Francisco:
1.-THE reason the United States
Is strong il because of the ma
tional adherence to the princi-
pies of justice for all as estab-
lished by the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution.
Had all the peopIe-including
the South-not realized that
fairness ruled i'm America, the
Civil War would have broken
the nation into bits. Because Of
that national instinct for fair
ness the nation held together
and now Is holding the world
together"
The keyword in Mr. Prices
statement is FAIRNESS" 1t
is this fundamental quality IN
our people-and therefore in our
government-that the peoples of
the world have senses.
This fairness is rooted in our
federation. II is written in the
Bill of Rights. Fairness is
another word for liberty and
freedom. Fairness" can only
exist where there is a sense of
justice and a passionate love of
liberty.
Therefore the peoples (and l
do not mean the rulers) of the
world have always trusted the
u. s. A. because it keeps its
word, or uses. every human and
reasonable effort to keep II.
WHAT hypocrisies are written
w and spoken about British
rule in India! Here is a famous
instance:
When Napoleon was at st.
Helena. after subjugating all Of
Europe, after butchering, loot
