Co-ordnoted Political Strategy to Capitalize
On German Rout by Russions Recommended

a chance to present their plans
and put them into operation.
Must Be Foresighted.
Moreover, the Nation is mo-
bilized by integrating the volun-
tary forces.
The rejection in every field Of
people who long to serve this
country is no way of mobilizing
the Nation. The Government Is
not a protective association
against people with ideas. 1t
doesn't need to use Mayor Ii.
Guardia for all the jobs.
We cannot 60 on improvising
solutions after crises have come.
There must be foresight, which
is craftsmanship.
We have an agricultural prob
lem on our necks right now. The
Agriculture Department is de-
manding vastly increased pro-
duction Of dairy products, eggs,
vegetables. and there is certain
to be a shortage of fats of all
kinds. But the farmers have no
lahor fnd nothing really con-
s'ructive IS keirg done about it.
Furthermore. the tire ration
inr fails to take account OF the
trPrsnortation needs of farmers
who have to get to villages and
marketing centers. But there
are approximately $4,000 taxi
cabs on the streets of New York
City at this moment and all their
drivers are absorbable in defense
Industries if there are defense
industries for them to work in.
Too Many Tires on CampuseS.
The college campuses are
crowded with automobiles that
could we'll be put into storage
and the tires used for farmers.
We must regard the national
economy in wartimes as the econ
Cry of a family. An economy of
kindly sharing and OF thrifty
saving and salvage of everything
that can be spared. We have not
even begun a systematic junk
collection for which we could use
the enthusiasm of the youngsters
in this country.
Every delay in mobilizing all
the resources and talents of the
Nation is gcing to prolong the
war end cost the lives of Amer
lean boys-and give our enemies
breathing spaces and new leases
on life.
With our forces concentrated
in the East, we can at least pur-
sue political warfare in the
West, taking advantage of the
discontinue of our western enc
mics in Russia But here, too,
organization and policy are lack
ing. In political warfare we still
have % private armies-short-
wave broadcasting stations. If
as private organizations they
combine for common policy,
they will be had up under the
antitrust laws, I am told.
Must Mobilize Brains.
Well, If it is possible to make
a combined command in the Far
East under a British and q Chi
nese general and three Americans
I should think this problem could
be solved.
But in order to solve it we must
have a strategy of political war
fare and that strategy must pur-
sue a co-ordinated, planned. day
by-day offensive war against our
enemies, and for our friends.
Again, the Russians are doing
this superbly. But not more
superbly than we could do 1t,
If we really put our brains to
work at it..
In fact, the mobilization of the
Nations brains is imminently
necessary.

they we're something new. Un-
doubtedly, one reason is that the
dark outlook in the Philippines has
quickened appreciation of the dam
gers of incompetency. As one here
tofore complacent observer pointed
out in the New York Times, 1t is
possible to lose this war through our
own ineritude. The other reason Is
said to be the frank talk Of Mr..
Churchill and Lcrd Eeaverbrook in
the conferences that have been TAX
ing place in Washington since their
arrival last month.
For the first time the facts and
figures made unmistakably clear
how far short We have fallen and
how far We have 10 go before We can
take the initiative in the var. The
President is sid to have been
shocked at the unescapa BILE conclu-
sions. and to have been further dis
turbed by rather candid protests
from Army and Navy officials about
the unsatisfactory results Of being
compelled to transact business
through Mr.. Harry Hopkins.
La Guardia Under Fire.
Also, instead of subsiding, the pub
lie protest against Mr.. La Guardia
continuing to direct civilian defense
in the time he can spare from his
duties as Mayor Of New York, has
increased in intensity. At the time
Mr.. La Guardia was named, It was
pointed out that this is no job for
part-time man. With our entrance
into the war, civilian defense has
become a much grimmer business
than before and the feeling about
Mr.. La Guardia's inadequacy far
more justified.
In addition. there has come re-
Gently from various quarters not
unfriendly to the administration
sharp criticism Of some of the more
conspicuous defense officials. New
volleys have been fired at Mr.. Knud-
sen by the professional labor lead
ers and anti-business New Dealers
There has also been much inside
dissatisfaction expressed with Mr.
Stettinius. who seems to be making
no greater a success as leaSelend
administrator than he did with the
priorities division of O. P. M.
Finally there he's been consider
able caustic comment concerning
Mr.. Jesse Jones, who usually has
been immune to criticism, and, in
fact, has had almost unanimous
commentator as a competent ad-
ministrator.
Now, there is evinced a decided
disposition to regard Mr.. Jones as
having been overpraised and over
rated. To some extent the blame
for the shortage of rubber, which
! threatens a greater dislocation OF
civilian life than anything else, is
blamed on him. Unquestionably
+ the shortage is due to lack of ad-
ministration foresight. Mr.. Jones
it is said, had the money, he had
the facts and he had the warning
but he failed to act
They Can pass the Buck"
/ OF course, all these criticized
people can pass the buck to the
President, who has refused to dele
gate authority and insisted upon
retaining power in his own hands.
And, naturally, that is where the
responsibility really rests. But
little is to be gained by criticizine
the President. No change can be
made there, but 1t is possible that
continued protest may induce him
to replace some of the incompetents
under him with competents. His

Interstate trucks and buses should

during blsckouts, OCD Director
James M. Lands advised today In
an effort to prevent needless trans
partation delays during blackouts.
He directed, however, that Tor
practice air raid tests the vehicles
are expected to stop. The practice
of proceeding during long black
out and stopping during an alarm
period always has been followed
here.
OCD said the advice was directed
at communities where no vehicles
are allowed to move during black
out, even where there Is no test
alarm period. Mr.. Lands explained
that, with war production making
unprecedented demands upon all
forms of transportation and prac-
tice blackouts so numerous that sew

trary regulations which win need

Advantage 10 Russia
Seen Possible in
Division Of Forces
Maj. Eliot Says Nozis
Must Go Much Forther
To Claim Victory
BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT,

There is a distinct possibility that
we may see two separate major
fronts in RUSSIA main front ex-
tending from the Baltic to the vicin-
ity of Stalingrad and the head OF
the Caspian Sea, and second front
in the Caucasus.
In this case, the main front would
be supplied from the remaining
Russian industrial centers and, as
far as Anglo-American munitions
are concerned, through the Arctic
ports the Caucasian front would
have little Russian industry to draw
on, though it would have plenty OF
oil, and would be dependent for
munitions largely on Allied ship
ping coming through the Persian
Gulf.
This division of the Russian front
into two parts has already come
close to realization. There can now
be no direct communication between
the Russian main armies and those
In the Caucasus except by way OF
the Caspian Sea or by the single line
of railroad along the shore Of the
Caspian from Astrakhan to Baku.
The Germans appear to be push
ing eastward toward the Grozny oil
fields, but they are long way from
the shore of the Caspian as yet. If
they reach it, the last rail connec-
ton will be cut between the two
Russian fronts, though shipping on
the Caspian will still be able to take
oil northward from Baku and to
carry munitions southwark to the
Caucasian front.
The Russians maintain q naval
flotilla on the Caspian Sea consist
ing OF three small destroyers and
six gunboats. There is, therefore, nc
chance of the Germans interruptine
Russian control of the Caspian ex-
cept in 50 far as they can do so with
their air force.
Must Drive on or Fail.
The division of the Russian front
into two parts will not necessarily
be disastrous. The Russians have
unuuestionably created large mill
tary depots south of the Caucasus
range which should be capable OF
maintaining the Russian armies
through the winter so far as the
Caucasus front is concerned.

BERLIN (From German Broad

infantry, sweeping east past the
headwaters of the Manych trib-
utary of the Don, have captured

these communications in excellent
condition.
As long, therefore, as the Russian
armies can hold the passes OF the
Caucasus and keep the Germans out
of the main oil fields of Baku, and as
long as the Russians continue to
control the Caspian Sea and hold
the ports on its northern shore from
which railways and pipelines extend
into the heart OF Russia, there Is
no occasion to consider the Russian
situation desperate merely because
the Caucasion front may have been
separated from the main front.
This is particularly true If the
Russians succeed in holding Stain
grad and keeping the Germans from
cutting the important line of river
communications represented by the
Volga. A stalemate along the lines
suggested would be nothing less than
a disaster for the Germans, who
would have expended enormous
forces without accomplishing any,
thing decisive.
Winters Are Severe.
Moreover, the position OF the Ger
man armies in the North Caucasian
area this winter would be particular
ly unattractive from every point of
view. This region is subject to ter
rible wind and snow storms, sweep
ing in southwesterly direction from
the Kirghiz steppe toward the Black
Sea. These storms sometimes last
for several days, and during their
continuance every form of human
and animal life must take shelter.
All movement in the open becomes
impossible. Many authorities doubt
whether men accustomed to the
comparatively mild climate Of the
European coastal plain, in which
Germany Is situated, could survive q
winter in the North Caucasus with
out adequate shelter in the form Of
permanent barracks and well func-
tioning lines OF supply.
Even If the Germans contrived
somehow to maintain themselves in
this area through the winter, they
would be faced with the certainty
of powerful Russian counterattacks
in the spring under conditions COM

Russia S Resistance
Is Stiffening on All
Fronts, British Say
Attacks at Voronezh and
Rzhev Are Declared
Worrying Germans
B. the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, Aug. 13.-British mil
itary sources declared yesterday
that Russia's resistance is stiffen-
ing on all fronts and that Soviet
attacks at Voronezh and Rzhev are
beginning to worry the Germans
despite the sweeping Nazi claims
of victories on the southern front.
These military sources, who re-
fused to be identified, discounted
the German victory claims as great
ly exaggerated. They pointed out
further that special announcements
often are made by the Nazis for
political effect at home and some
times are not factual.

paigns was called highly improb-

proven adroitness of Marshal Sem
con Timoshenky in disengaging his
armies from German traps.
Counter Offensive Indicated.
Persistent mention by the Ger
mans of heavy defensive fighting In
the Rzhev area $50 miles northwest
of Moscow aroused unoficial spec
ulation in London that the Russians
might be undertaking counter
offensive in the hope of diverting
German strength from the south
ern armies.
That, too, has been the aim Of
Russian attacks about Voronezh, the
northern end of the critical south
ern front.
It was noted here that the Rus
slams have said little about the
Rzhev action, which has been in
progress 13 days.
The Vichy radio announced Tues
day that the Russians had made a
breach In the German positions
there. The German radio yester-
day announced the Red Army had
sent special reinforcements" there
and the German high command
communique spoke OF numerically
superior" Russian forces in the same
sector
Organized Independently.
However, British military source
said the Germans in the Rzhev area
are organized entirely independently
OF the Na1 armies stofming toware
the Caucasus.
This source said it was possible
that the Russians were attacking
Rzhev for two reasons:
/. To clinch the defense OF Mos
COW and throw the Germans back
into positions less easily defended
next winter.
2. To divert air strength from the
southern front.

naturally strong defensive positions
would be available short Of the Don

In other words, the German irrup-
ton into the North Caucasian area
is a military operation which must
90 much farther before 1t can be
considered a permanent success.
Stalemate now would be tantamount
to German defeat.
