This Changing World
State Department Receives indications
Jupun May Attack Siberia Soon

The Siberian climate Is Ideal
for military operations. The
ground is dry and visibility for
aviation Is excellent. Moreover,
according to various reports, the
Russian high command has
Withdrawn a large proportion Of
the well-trained Siberian forces
for use on the European front,
where they were badly needed.
Much of the aviation which until
the fall OF 1941 was stationed in
the Maritime Province and other
strategic Eastern Siberian points
had to be used to reinforce
Soviet air forces fighting the
Nazis.
This does not mean Siberia
has been deprived of its defend
ers. It means only that while at
one time it was risky to attack
this port Of Russia the task Is
easier now. The Japanese still
maintain in Kwantung and
Manchukuo a sizable force esti-
mated at between 250,000 and
100000. These are well-equipped
troops supported by adequate
aviation.
This army can draw on some
we'll = organized reserves. The
number of these is uncertain,
but should yield another 100000
troops, who could be used to
guard lines of communication
and supply. This force could
attack Siberia and hope to occupy
the region as far as Lake Baikal
so long as the japanese do not
fear major attack from other
quarters.
Don't Fear Surprises.
Most American military and
naval observers have in the past
discounted the possibility of an
attack on Siberia because Japans
fighting forces are spread over
such a huge area that it would
be inviting disaster to attack
Russia before China Is out OF
the running and the United
States is forced into corner,
on the defensive.
China has not been knocked

aircraft is only a means for carry

discharging it, whether the projec-
tile be bomb, bullet, shell or tor

the aircraft can do this job better

it cannot deliver a sustained VOL

We have seen in the fighting in
the Pacific what the aircraft can do.
We have seen battleships sunk by

we have seen aircraft carriers
smashed and sunk, and cruisers
likewise; but we have not stopped to

I will venture the prediction that
before this Pacific war is over we

further prediction that for the

tion-the matter of teamwork, in
other words, rather than the special
ist or the enthuiast.
1t was lack Of teamwork, of the
ability to use tanks, guns, infantry
and aircraft as a working
team, which lost Libya for Britain
and may have lost Egypt.
To insist on the virtues of one
weapon at the expense Of all others
is the negation Of teamwork, and
teamwork is the key to victory in
modern war even more than in the
wars of the past, for as weapons in
crease in complexity and destructive
power it becomes more and more
dangerous to neglect any of them, or
to exalt one at the expense of an
other which may destroy you.

Special Dispatch to The Star.


FAIRFAX, Va, May 2l.-The
Fairfax County Board of Supervi-
sors yesterday directed County
Commissioner of Revenue James U.
Kincheloe to assess for taxation this
year the real estate and personal
property of Madeira School, pri-
vate institution located on the
Georgetown pike near Great Falls,
in Providence district.
The school and its property have
been tax free since 1882, when a
former assessment made by the
commissioner af revenue was set
aside by the Circuit Court on the
ground it was not taxable.
Following the meeting Mr.. Kinche-
loe said he would not comply with
the order until he has secured a
legal opinion on his right to make
the assessment, or is instructed by
the court to carry out the provisions
directed by the supervisors.
Mr.. Kincheloe said a petition filed
in court declared his 1882 assessment
erroneous. He declared further he
has no information that the status
of the institution has changed since
1882.
DR.. G. r. Carpenter, county med
ical director, who has been COM
missioned in the Army Medical
Corps, was granted a leave Of
absence by the supervisors. They
also adopted a resolution expressing
appreciation for his services to the
county.
Dr.. Carpenter will assume his new
duties Tuesday and will be stationed

An effort will be made to fill the
vacancy as soon as possible, but
there will probably be some delay.
