ceal their feelings of regret and bit
terness at the losses and surrendered
advantages.
This has been a war of lost
chances and, as is always the case,
it is difficult to apportion the re-
sponsibility for botched blunders
Certainly, we Dutch deserve some
blame. We have tried to prepare
thoroughly against the invader, but
in doing so we have prepared too
slowly.
"The Dutch and Americans also
are partly responsible, because re-
peated suggestions that Japan
should be struck, even with meager
forces, five weeks ago when six un-
protected lines of communication
had been opened southwark, were
greeted with inaction.
THE British, likewise, share the
responsibility with the Dutch and
Americans because. following Singa-
pores fall, the em~hasis shifted
sharply from British Malaga to
British Burma, as perhaps was only
nstuys! in view of the composition
of the Allied command"
Assails Leadership.
What has been lacking in the
Allied war effort is not in effort but
kind of effort q man needs when
fighting for life" said Van Nook,
who was attired in a reservist uni
form. Had the campaign in Ma
laya enjoyed better admiralship and
generalship, Java would have been
given enough time. But the Allies
gravely overestimated the prestige
as well as strength of their forces. p"
1.-THE Allied command has been
an ideal experiment in many ways
for the long haul, but for the short
1t has been too complicated" he
went on. 1T was natural enough
that Britain and America should
have dominating roles, If extensive
help from these sources were avail
able. But in practice what occurred
was superimposition Of the Allied
command upon the Dntch forces
which were actually given the bur-
den Of carrying out commands and
ideas. Perhaps such circumstances
were partly unavoidable, but their
effects have been strategically de-
plorable.

Streams of Red Soldiers
Pour Out of Moscow

ASSoCldtcO fIeSS WAT correspondent.
MOSCOW, March 3.-Streams OF
Russian soldiers roll out toward
front which has receded farther and
farther from Moscow but If the vigil
of this capital has been relaxed now
that no German army presses on it.
the change is scarcely noticeable.
Look across a great sweep of the
city from my window. There is a
long line of troops, the soldiers
brown overcoats swishing almost to
the ground, the men singing a Red
Army song in unison. They must
be headed toward the front. You
notice their uniforms are new and
fresh.
Special Militia on Guard.
They have all kinds of equip
ment-inachine guns, trench NOR
tars, automatic rifles, portable stoves
and long, spearlike instruments
which they stick into the ground
to detect mines. No one pays them
much attention. Troops are a COM
mon Slght IN MOSCOW.
Up and down between double
lines of streetcar tracks SPECIAL
militianen march with rifles slung
across their broad shoulders. They
are everywhere, throughout the city,
on guard in every block to make
sure no enemy parachutists drop
In without a proper reception.
23S Nazi Planes Claimed.
Soviet Russian forces destroyed
238 German planes between Feb
ruary 20 and %, the Soviet Bureau
OF Information reported today. The
Russians acknowledged the loss of
81 planes in that same period.
OF the total 137 German planes
were brought down in air battles,
were shot down by anti-aircraft fire
and 90 we're destroyed on enemy
airdromes, the report said.

Confidence BOlstered.
The announcement that the
Dutch, American and British de-
tenders of Java were holding with
grim tenacity on the lines they
formed Sunday bolstered the con-
f1dence of Java's more than 10000,
900 inhabitants after guarded au-
thoritative reports were only that
"the action is proceeding satisfac-
torily" and that the invaders had
taken hard blows"
1t meant that the Japanese. who
we're reputed to have set 10000 to
10000 men ashore, had failed thus
far in their obvious attempt tC
cut the 622-mile-long island into
three parts.
One column. which had knitted
in from a landing on Indrama joe
Bay in u drive menacing Bandoeng
still was stalled some 80 miles from
| here.
A second force had advanced l6
miles inland from Rembang to the
region of Blora, on the coastal rail-
road about IS miles west Of Soera-
baja.
The third, in the Bantam district
of westernmost Java, about 60 miles
from Batavia, evidently never struck
far inland.
The effective scorched-earth pol
icy of the Dutch, who have sent up
in smoke or crashing into debris mil
lions of dollars worth of property
since the japanese began invading
the East Indies, was putting its de-
structive fingers on Batavia itself.
There was no immediate threat to
the city, it was stated, but the eau
tious Dutch, determined that moth
ing OF value should fall into Japa-
nese hands, had ordered demolition
work begun "in order to take nc

BY the Associated Press.
LONDON, March 3.-Public anger
over black market profiteering In
the midst Of Britain's most critical
war period was answered today by
Q government announcement that
stringent new regulations and pen
alties are to be put into operation.
Castigating food racketeers as "a
danger to our cause" Maj. Gwilym
Lloyd George parliamentary secre-
tary to the Ministry of Food. speak
ing in the House of Commons, de-
clared that we are determined that
they shall be stamped out" He
said details Of the new measures
would be disclosed soon, and point
ed out that the Ministry Of Food
already employs 800 inspectors and
has made 10000 prosecutions.
Reporting that Britain's loss Of
food through ship sinkings had not
been really substantial" he as
serted that the nations essential
food stocks at the end Of 1941 were
80 per cent higher than ut the end
of 1910.
Rations May Be Cut Some.
Nevertheless, he said, 1t may be
necessary to reduce existing rations
to some extent.
Food imports will be reduced. Maj.
Lloyd George said, but thanks to the
policy Of building reserves the ma
ton will be adequately fed. He in
dicated, however, that rationing
would be extended to some food
stuffs now sold without restrictions.
The improved food condition. he
said, Is due to very substantial
United States aid and increased
home production.
Between May !. 1941, and January
1. 1912. Britain received lease-lend
food approximately equal to one
months imports from all sources.
American canned meat comprised
one fifth of the nations meat ra-
ton.
Thanks to America.
I'VE extend our sincere thanks
and admiration for the way in
which the Government and people
of the United States have helped
us with food" Maj. Lloyd George
said.
Illustrating the present extent of
government restrictions. he said the
price control covered so food COM
modities or grades of commodities.
Out Of every 81 spent by the av-
,rage family, 81 so was spent on con-
trolled price foods. and about one
third Of the family's purchases were
subsidized by the government.
He added that the retail food in
dex figure now was only Is per
cent above September. 1889, the

Russians ATTACKING
On Unprecedented
Scale, Nazis Say
Reds Reported Mossing
Greet Force on Front
To RevituIize Drive

4y the Associated Press.
BERN, Switzerland, March s.
Soviet troops are massing in pro-
digious force all along the Rus
sian front for a revitalized drive
and have already instituted at
tacks ION a scale not hitherto
reached in the war" German
military spokesmen say.
The Berlin correspondent Of the
Zurich newspaper Die Tat stated
that the U. S. S. r. obviously was
starting "a fantastic effort to bring
about decision"
(Similar accounts developed in
Stockholm, although the Berlin
correspondent of the Stockholm
newspaper Dagens Nyheter said
the German spring offensive was
prepared and when it opens the
forces will not be spared"
German propagandists natu-
rally have some motive in au-
thorizing circulation of bearish
statements. 1t may be to brace
the Axis peoples for new reverses
already in the making. More
likely, perhaps, it Is to screen
some fresh German activity or
to take the edge off urgent ap-
peals by Russia to Britain and
the United States for opening of
a second front by implying she
is winning the campaign alone.
Reports originating in Berlin quar-
tiers said Nazi aerial scouts had seen
great columns of fresh Soviet SOL
diers moving up; that many 52-ton
tanks and long-range guns had been
thrown into intense assaults on Ger
man positions in the DonetS Basin
and the Crimea.
The Die Tat dispatch said Red
Army troops attacked in 40 or so
waves in some sectors, striking un-
hesitatingly regardless of their cas-
ualties. Siberian units were singled
out in comment for their almost
unbelievable stubbornness."
German airmen are compelled to
concentrate wholly on attacks
against Soviet communications, the
dispatch said.
Moscow announcements indicate,
however, that major effort of Ger
man squadrons just now is to ferry
supplies to the 18th Army men en-
circled in the Staraya RuSsa sector.
The Soviet Information Bureau de-
clared that during March 1 we
destroyed II planes" aloft or
aground while losing only 8.
Danger of Floods.
A foreign military expert in Lis
bon, familiar with Russia, expressed
belief the Germans must withdraw
to positions west of the big rivers
before the spring thaw and bridge
destroying floods begin ''or they will
run the great risk of being crushed
by the Soviets for lack of communi-
cations"
With headwaters already in op-
irrational zones, the greatest streams
behind the Germans are the Dnie-
per, which flows from an area 140
miles west of Moscow into the Black
Sea, and the Dvina. which rises in
the Valdai Hills and empties into
the Gulf of Riga.
