LONDON, Feb. 6.-In my pre-
vious article I have dealt with
the material side of the Russian
war effort, and I now come to
deal with the political aspect Of
our association with the Soviet
Union in the common struggle.
There are diff1culties-yes, great
difflculties-the theological differ
ences OF two decades, suspicious and
frictions of two peoples Of widely
different character and with meth
ods of government and economic or
ganization that are little understood
by one another.
At the moment there exists what
may seem to many to be an almost
forced association, but fundamen-
tally it is much more than that
We all three-Great Britain, the
United States and Russia-are
fighting a common enemy because
we each individually love and cher
ish our freedom, our own right to
determine how we shall live. We
want our own ways because we be-
lieve they suit us better than other
ways, but good or bad, we tight for
them because they are our own and
we will not allow any marauding
gang of international gangsters to
impose their rule upon us for their
own benefit.
. All Signed Atlantic Charter.
That state of mind applies equally
to each one of the three countries.
We have all signed the Atlantic
Charter and although the Russians
may think the world would be hap
pier if their form of economic Or
ganization ruled throughout, just as
many Americans may think Russia
would be happier with another form
Of government and economy, yet the
Soviet government has declared
again and again with all sincerity
that 1t does not want to interfere
with the internal conditions Of other
countries.
The best way Of spreading an
theology or political system in the
world is to show by example its sue
cess. Perhaps no country yet has
succeeded in doing that for suffi-
GENTLY long period to convince
others that they must change their
own economic system.
Beyond demonstrating by the
force OF successful example the need
for world change in the economic
system, the Soviet Union has no
intention to interfere either in Eu-
rope or elsewhere with forms Of gov
ernment of its neighbors.
The United States and Great Brit
ain adopt the same attitude. Here
there Is common ground for future
action in association.
We must put aside once and for all
the "red bogey." Surely 1t has be-
come perfectly plain why Hitler and
his associates so sedulously fostered
fear of Bolshevism." 1t was his
policy to weaken the combination
against him. 1t was his greatest
'ifth column" effort to SOW dis
sension among his political enemies.
He was the fount and origin Of all
the propaganda for the last 10
years, and 1t very nearly succeeded.
But now that we have seen through
it, now that we realize the common
interests for future world safety

Senator'S viii Study
Plan for Small Firms
Division Of W.P. B.
Separate R. F. c. Agency
To Provide Finuneing
Also Requested
nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
Senator Murray, Democrat, Of
Montana said today an immediate
Senate banking subcommittee study
was assured for legislation which
would create a division Of small
business production within the War
Production Board.
The move was urged on Congress
BY q Senate committee investigat-
ing small business problems to give
small business "a definite and ef-
fective voice in the administration
of the war effort" Senator Murray
Is chairman.
The committee alsa asked the
Senate to provide for a separate
corporation under the Reconstruc-
ton Finance Corp. to enable small
business to obtain war production
financing.
Senator Murray said arrange
ments had been made with Banking
Committee Chairman Wagner to
appoint a banking subcommittee
Immediately to consider the pro-
posal.
Ruthless Attitude Charged.
In its report to the Senate, the
investigating committee said an
utterly ruthless" attitude Of the
Office Of Production Management
had pushed small business toward
wholesale bankruptcy" The new
War Production Board offered little
hope for better treatment, it added.
Although big business speaks
with a thunderous voice of au-
thority," the committee said, "and
carries out it's programs in a blitz-
krieg fashion, ignoring the wishes
of the President and the Govern
ment of the United States, small
business Is as always entirely In
articulate.
Whenever big business and little
business are required to sleep In the
same bed, big business steals all the
covers"
Firms Get Bulk.
The committee said that Sc OF
Americas 184,230 manufacturing
establishments had been awarded
more than rs per cent of Army and
Navy contracts, while the remain
ing fragment of the defense pro-
gram is distributed among about
5000 prime contractors"
"Of the concerns not included in
the defense program directly" the
report added, about 1000 hold SUBJ
contracts. Over ia, 1000 manufactur-
ing establishments have not been
touched by the ONCE of Production
Management in its mobilization OF
the Nations industrial resources"
A small business production divi-
sion would invoice small business
productive capacity, recommending
means of putting 1t to work, help
get raw materials and promote sub
contracting by large companies.

which we have with the Soviet
Union. now that Hitler Is unmaSked
and the true alignment of civiliza-
ton has been hammered out in the
furnace of war, now at last we can
rid ourselves Of unreasoning fears
and suspicious and get down to the
solid basis of constructive work for
the future.
The Russians ask no country out
side the Soviet Union to become
Communist and we ask none within
the Soviet Union to desert Com
munism for any other political
creed. We are not going to work
politically or economically against
one another as suspicious rivals at
tempting to weaken or sabotage po-
litical enemies.
We are fighting together for q
common aim, and that common
struggle should form the basis of
our new association.
We have not changed our natures,
Russians have not changed theirs.
we accept them as they accept us
for what we are with all our failings
and shortcomings on both sides.
Tragic Peace Is Possible.
That should be the basis Of our
relations with one another and with
the Soviet Union.
We shall either have to recon-
struct the world in partnership
after the victorious end Of the war
or else we shall have to go each on
our separate ways, and with no COM
mon agreement the peace will be a
more tragic chaos than the war.
Partners can influence, aid and
assist one another where jealous and
suspicious associates merely destroy
one another's schemes for fear that
each may steal power from the
other.
1t is either cooperation or chaos,
and we must choose between the
two.
Let us make 1t clear beyond all
doubt that 1t Is to be cooperation
and we shall deserve well of the
future.
But cooperation does not, OF
course, mean giving way in every
thing to a partner. It means to-
gether working out schemes and
plans with all the give and take
that is necessary to arrive at Z
common decision.
If once we can create an atmos-
phere of confidence among the three
countries which does not yet wholly
exist, we can, I feel certain, plan to-
gether and reach an agreement in
our plans.
Upon one major central point oi
European reconstruction there will
be agreement. The Soviet govern.
ment has said never again"-nevel
again must Europe and the worlc
be subjected to such an agony ol
war. 1t must be put out Of the
power Of Germany to repeat the
aggression Of 1894.
Agreement Needed Beforehand.
How that is to be achieved is q
| matter for discussion and settle
ment among the victorious powers
Then again, we are all agreed
some more stable and lasting system
Of peace organization must be in.
augurated than that which arose
after the last war. This again is q
matter for discussion and decision.
There may and will be many
opinions. But unless the principal
powers can agree upon some scheme
beforehand little or nothing of value
will come out of the peace confer
ence.
The need for these considerations
only stresses the vital Importance

1T is the fundamental law of

how far Russia feels we are from

fighting magnificently and had seen
the beginnings of the shipping routes

But he said the immediate need

IN 'ERIALS ADVANCE
In Egypt, the imperial eighth
army was slugging its way forward
through the Axis minefields. The
chief armored forces of Marshal
Erwin Rommel had not yet been
brought TO action. Allied air forces
were ruling the sky over the des-
ert and over the adjacent Mediter-
ranean, complicating Rommal's diff
ficulties of transport and supply.
Cairo communicates reported that
the imperials were driving Stub
bornly forward through Marshal
Erwin Rommel's mine fields and
fixed defenses and Berlin said the
fight was going on with unabated
fierceneSS
The Axis was taking the line that
it was too early TO predict the out
come of the engagement and en-
phasized repeatedly the "normous'
British fcrces which have been hurl-
ed into the conflict. One Nazi
report claimed that more than 200
British tanks had been knocked
out thus far. Another Nazi pro-
paganda claim insisted that l,000,-
900 men had been concentrated for
the big allied push.
RUSSIA QUIET
On the Russian front the tempo
of fighting still was slowing down.
Russian counter-attacks drove the
NaZis from some positions in Stall
ingrad and 1000 Germans and Ru-
manians were reported killed in a
sharp Soviet drive south of the city.
Another village was captured by
Marshal Semyon Timcshenko's re-
lief column northwest of Stalin-
grad.
London reports said that 10000
Italians had been stricken with
panic in a Genoa air raid shelter
and in the ensuing confusion 354
persons were killed.
