RUSSIA STILL GAINS

For three months the German armies in Russia have made stubborn and shrewd defense, yielding ground orderly retreats at times, taking heavy ing grimly to a few strongly fortified positions along the battlefront These strong points correspond to the main cities or railway centers behind the line of greatest German penetration. Among them are Star aya Russa, Vyazma, Smolensk, Orel Kharkov-and, farther back Kiev and Odessa
 Now the Russians have completed their plodding encirclement of Staraya Russa the northernmost of these strong points have entered the city This is net the first notable Russian victory since early December when the Red armies began their of fensves But it the first great victory against po loss in troops has been large Her loss in terms of the warping battle line is more serious.
 Far to the south the Russians have been gaining inch by inch against Kharkov until it seems likely also to be recaptured. When accomplished, this op- eration will be even more significant for Germany has been strongest in the south, and Kharkov has an intrinsic importance far greater than that of Staraya Russa.
 Thus il appears that the Soviet Army is beginning just spring comes, to break into the areas the Nazis had intended to hold bases for a spring sias is the stronger fighting machine But it does
 indicate that the Germans will be sorely handicapped in making any truly large offensive against the Red armies after the weather becomes favorable.

To Protect The Worker
(NeW York Times)

(New York Tmes)
 The adjectives "pro-labor" and anti labor as recently used by professional labor leaders and thoughtlessly paToted in other quarters, have ac- quired some queer connoatons. By some strange twist of logic, people will even be found de- nouncing as anti-labor legislative proposals whose principal object is to protect the laborer from ex- ploitation by interruptions union officials When the Federal Government insists that employers must recognize and negotiate with labor unors it becomes that Governments corolary duty, which it has So far evaded, to that those compusoriy recognized unions themselves responsible and honestly and conducted. It is precisely for the protection of the great body of labor of individual workers everywhere, that need legislation requir- ing publicity for the financial affairs of unions and regular audits; that we need laws requiring that unions hold regular elections of officers by secret ballot; laws requiring that they do not impose un- dues initiation fees; laws requiring that they impose arbitrary barriers to union en- trance; laws requiring that they employ coercion or intimidation to build up membership

Decision of EXpediency
Cincinnati Enquirer

The renewal for another year of the Soviet-Jap- anese agreement which permits Npponese fishermen to operate in Siberian waters is evidence of Rus sia's desire to maintain for quite a while at least the status quo in her relations with Japan.
 The Soviet attitude is in line with military judg- ment that the defeat of Germany, and later Japan. best be accomplished by the concentration of Russian strength on the European front and avoid ance, as long possible of the diversion which would be created by active hostites another front with Japan.
 Strategical considerations undoubtedly dictated the decision The fisheries agreement lapsed De- cember 3l, and since then it has been for Joseph Stain to decide upon the expedient course He had to bear in mind that a refusal to the agree ment-so important to Japans food supply-might preciptate Japanese blow at Russia He seemingly decided that the time is not yet here for joint tion against Japan, while the Americans and the British still unprepared for counter offensive. and the German Army still remains to be reckoned with.
