100000 people, the Germans have met
nothing but unrelenting resistance.
Three years after the Munich agree
ment Reinhard Heydrich, Himmler's
right-hand man. was dispatched to
Prague when it became clear that all
previous devices had failed to break
Czechoslovak opposition.
After the Czech nation had suffered
for eight months from his reign of
terror, Heydrich was killed last May.
Immediately after his death, the Ger
man regime in the ~protectorate I'M
leashed a second intensified wave Of
terror. Victims exceeded 600 during the
first three weeks, not counting the entire
male population OF the village of Lidice,
who were slaughtered while the women
were carried off to concentration camps
and orphans and children herded of to

In Yugoslavia Gen. Draza Mihailo-
witch and his free Yugoslav armies prove
two things: A second front exists already
in the very heart Of Europe, and guer-
rilla warfare on large scale is a potent
factor in Axis defeat.
The general and his 25O,OOO soldiers
and patriots originally concentrated their
activities in Central Serbia and portions
of Bosnia, but as their strength grew,
they branched cut into every sector OF
Yugoslavia, including Montenegro in the
far south and Croatia in the northmost
part Of the kingdom.
Yugoslavs Raid Towns.
Yugoslav government officials in Wash
ington maintain that by challenging Hit
ler's control Of the Balkans and consti-
tuting a definite military menace I'M
mobilizing SO divisions Of Axis troops
needed on other battle fronts the Yugo-
slav armies render invaluable aid to the
United Nations.
Mihailovitchs activities are not con-
fined to sabotage and night raids He
has successfully made large scale attacks
on Axis-garrisoned towns throughout
Yugoslavia. The Once of War Mforma-
ton reported last summer that 800 900
Italian soldiers were kept busy in Croatia
alone. There are now about 100000 Axis
troops, including Bulgarian and Ru-
manian coutingents, on this front.
Until recently the Italian End Army

favorably with the Baruch Commit
tees estimate of 118, 72000O pounds

States would import between July /.

Mr.. Seeley, in long range view, sees
in this surge of rubber interest in Pana-
ma and other Central American coun-
tries carrying out similar programs, a
partial replacement of the economic loss
suffered in the banana trade when the
war brought Its strict shipping limita-
tons.
The Darien development grew out OF
an inspection trip by Mr. Seeley in May.
Near the peaceful Indian village OF
Arusa, where friendly Darien chief
named Garlic presided, a Panamanian
enterprise more than score of years
ago had planted hundreds of rubber
trees. Nothing had been done since to
market the product, but Mr.. Seeley
found the trees thriving and the terri
tory overgroWn by dense jungle.
When Mr.. Brown joined him in Pana-
ma City in August the two technicians
got together party for jungle jaunt
to the Arusa property and for further
exploration work back in the brush.
Simple washing boxes and a small roll
ing mill were sent ahead to the Arusa
development with the permission of the
owners of the property to enable the
United States experts to supervise the
first run of latex into crude.
At Arusa the tappers had fought odds
which, in peacetime, would not have been
figured worth the result in rubber OBJ

Many Factors Involved.
So many factors, large and small, inn
| pinge on this business of cooperation
| the cooperation essential to winning the
war. Both the Army and Navy have now
moved to the vast Pentagon Building
| lington, 80 cents away by taxi. Will this
| not mean further isolation from those
| civilian authorities who should be part
| of a joint effort? 1t is question which
foreign observers have asked.
Then, too, there is the matter OF big
ness, of piling one element of command
on top Of another. The $4,000 900 Pen
tagon Building with its $4,000 or 10000
workers typifes the kind of expansion
which is likely to result in a cumber-
some, unavoidable colossus.
When it comes to specific criticism OF
the techniques of command, there are
differences of approach and differences
of viewpoint which lead to criticism. In
the Admiralty in London there Is an
operations intelligence center. In that
center it is possible to determine the To-
cation of any ship in the British Navy
within few miles. There is reporting
system which makes this possible and the
information is available to the Imperial
War Committee; that Is, to army and air
men as well as to the navy.
The British put great stress on this
Capitalization Of control. Whenever
Winston Churchill travels, whether it is
by air to Moscow or by train to inspect
a new air base, he has with him big maps
on which ship movements are recorded
almost as quickly as they are at OIC at
the Admiralty.
Up until Pearl Harbor at any rate,
our method was quite different. The
commander of task force was given
general order which he executed with
broad autonomy. He was not under
compulsion to report his whereabouts.
There were aften considerable inter-
walls when the chief of naval operations
was uniformed as to the whereabouts
of fleet units.
System Modified.
There has apparently been some mod
ifcation of the American system since
December 7. A great deal depends, of
course, on the chief of naval operations.
Admiral King, the present chief, tends
to keep his own counsel on feet move
ments. He is very forceful individual
ist stepped in the tradition OF giving a
man a job to do and then letting him
do it.
Critics of the American method have
had their answer in the recent great
victories in the Solomons But those
victories do not finally resolve this ques-
ton of unified command in global war.
So many delicate decisions turn on the
relationship between commanders, Army
and Navy, British and American.
There must be essential agreement on
how command is to function Without
such agreement MISUNDERSTANDING and
mistrust are too common. An example
is the loss of the four cruisers at Savo
Island in the Solomons. There are ap-
parently sharp differences over the re-
sponsibility for that disaster.
Even under a spur such as the disas-
ter of Pearl Harbor with all that 1t
meant, the Tradition of separation be-
tween Army and Navy cannot automati-
cally be broken down. There is no doubt
that it is being overcome

Russian Front

In AlgierS an Australian correspondent
was told that an Axis air squadron
which raided North Africa Tuesday had
been fighting over Stalingrad in Russia
three weeks earlier. Has Hitler been
weakening himself in Russia to meet the
new Mediterranean threat? The question
cannot be answered here. But at any
rate the Russians have begun an Of
fensive. Hitler last week had to swallow
those bold words he uttered at Septem-
bers end, when he assured the German
people that Stalingrad would be theirs.
The Reds have undertaken two at
tacks. One is pressing against the Axis
forces in the Stalingrad area, who are
being driven back to the Don. The
other is in the Rzhev-Vyazma area,
where Red troops are headed in the
direction of Latvia, now only 100 miles
from the Red Army. The 1912 Axis cam
paign in Russia brought the Germans
great territorial returns. They reached
the Volga 100 miles from it's mouth.
They moved into the Caucasus. They
won the Crimea. They controlled the
Sea Of Azov and the northeastern shore
of the Black Sea. But the campaign
failed. The Germans had to take Stain
grad, and they failed. They needed to
capture besieged Leningrad, and they
failed. They needed to cross the eau
asus to the Caspian shore, and they
failed.
The Red forward drive is reported in
Moscow with the statistics usually re-
served for the use of astronomers. The
Russian government said 100000 Ger
mans have been killed in the past week.
The Russian garrison of Stalingrad was
strengthened by supplies and reinforce
ments run down the west bank of the
Volga-for the first time since early in
the siege-and behind them, As to so
miles to the west, the Russians were
spreading over the Don bend which the
Nazis and their associates crossed last
August. The Germans in Stalingrad are
trying to escape trap.
The Reds apparently planned to dis
rupt Nazi communications. The force
crossing the Don struck at vital supply
lines, especially the Moscow-Rostov line,
which is necessary for the Germans to
use in getting supplies to their men in
the Causasus. The weather is advan-
tageous for the Russians, who are more
accustomed to the cold of this time of
year than are the invaders It was Just
about a year ago that the Reds began
their first great attack against the Ger
mans, which forced the Nazis during the

washed dried and rolled into crude by
Mr.. Seeley and Mr.. Brown.
Working from the center out and
tapping as they clear, says Mr.. Brown,
they can tap new trees every day for
six months before starting back over
their run-the area is that thick with
rubber trees. The wild growing caucho
castilloa of these sections can take
tapping only twice year but give a
good yield with each one.
With Arusa producing, the rubber
hunters retraced their steps and headed
for the Chucunaqui River over trail
still spotted with the ruins Of Spanish
forts. In fact, the Darien people in
Sist Balboa, himself, used that very
trail on his ocean discovering trek.
Up the Chucunaqui, in whose head
waters dwell the fierce, untamed, savage
little Darien Indians who still hate the
white man their ancestors met-and
turned back-400 years ago, lives friendly
Chief All pronounced Ah-hee), liaison
the friendly tribes at the mouth of the
river and near the headwaters Of the
huge Tuira.
Ali promised to show his people the
value of tapping and marketing the
rubber, and asked for book with which
to teach his son English. Ali has learned
to speak Spanish, Is big friend of the
American and wants his son to learn
the "gringo's" tongue.
But All is going further in the rubber
program. Being a friend of the savages
up river he is going to tell them OF the
new wealth growing wild all about them.
Once a year they come down river with
coffee. rice or bananas to trade. Next
year, Ali hopes, it will be latex!
Whether the Darien development
proves worth the risk and work and
sacrifices of rubber hunters like Mr..
Seeley and Mr.. Brown is yet to be SEEM
But there is real need for whatever
rubber they can turn out down here
And Panama is just one of the coun-
tries getting this Rubber Reserve Co.
developing. All the tropical sections
of the Latin republics are being Or
gained along similar lines
Totaled. the results of these combined
efforts may make a very surprising
figure some day soon.

the wild northern mountain regions
After the German occupation of Greece
one and half years ago, soldiers of the
defeated armies were demobilized and
sent home to the farms. Forming guer-
rilla bands, they began the second phase
of the war with hit-and-run attacks on
German land conveys and supply trains
Some 10000 soldiers and peasants COM
prise these rlarauding bands.
Greeks Outwit Hitlerites.
The crafty Greeks, whose wiles con-
stantly outwit German naivete, learned
the art OF underground resistance during
four centuries of Turkish rule. For 400
years their schools and national culture
their whole civilization-were sustained
by subterranean activities.
The food situation in Greece is appal-
ling. Two million adults are said to
have starved to death. Greek soil is of
poor quality and the country ordinarily
imports all staples such as eggs, wheat,
grains and meats. Between go and 80
per cent of the wheat needed was nor
mally imported.
For the last year and half German
and Italian occupation armies have
stripped the country of food like swarms
OF locusts. The Germans take what they
need and the Italians, Greek govern
ment officials assert, pursue an awoved
policy of determination. They plot to
eliminate their shrewdest trading rivals.
BY the end of September DR.. A. w.
Cawadias, chairman of the Greek Red
Cross Society in London, stated that of
100000 children In Athens and Piraeus
when Greece was invaded, 10000 are
now dead from starvation, malnutrition
and epidemics. In two months nine out
OF 10 newborn babies in Athens have
died Of starvation. The mortality rate
for adults in Athens and Piraeus, nor
mally 40 a day, rose last winter to more
than 500, and today conditions are worse.
Reports reaching London recently said
that 400 Greeks had been executed in
Athens by Axis occupation authorities
following a mass demonstration by the
starving populace. Greek officials In
Washington say that II there are two
more years Of war, they do not believe
that one-haH Of the Greek people will
remain alive.

hears in mountains Of northern Greece
