planes. Nevertheless, If you have
superiority in tanks, the infantry
can do its main job very well. Planes
can kill many men but they don't
gain ground. To gain ground to any
Gripping extent, you need tanks. The
tank gives the infantry its chance
and it also can break the enemy's fire
with. its cannon. The Germans put
more than 900 bomber flights over
that narrow strip of Hells Elbow il,
one day, yet they didn't recover a
yard of lost ground. If they could
have put in 600 tanks it would have
been entirely different.
Aviation is very important for
the destruction of the enemy's in
dustrial centers and his lines of COM
munications," the colonel said, But
aviation is not so important for a
war of position. You can get close
to the enemy's lines like we do and
then they can't bomb you without
bombing their own men. A good
officer keeps his front-line troops
close up against the enemy"

The exact situation in Russia
is still a mystery. The Nazis are
advancing rapidly. But whether
Soviet Marshal Semeon Timo-

Nazi onslaught is more of a
mystery to Washington and Lon

We know what we have sent
to the USSR. We know what
has arrived in Murmansk,
Archangel and Iran for trans
portatien to the main Russian
battle front. But how much OF
that material has actually
reached Marshal Timoshenko is
unknown. Furthermore, we know
practically nothing about the
size of Russian reserve supplies
of war material after IA months
of uninterrupted warfare.
Fate Hinges on Reserves.
On the Russians reserve tanks,
anti-aircraft batteries and planes

Timoshenko to stem the Nazi

Lord Bennett didn't explain

Coupled with that PREACHING
commitment was the fact that
the British Empire had six votes

Wilson had approved the League

fight with the Quisling regime.
The occasion was a conference re-
Gently held as Oslo at which the
church's independence of the state
was proclaimed. Puppet Premier
Vidkun Quisling, according to these
accounts, sought to prevet the blsh-
OBS attendance by refusing them
the necessary permits to travel to
Oslo. The Germans, however, over
ruling him, gave their consent.
Quisling could do nothing but lodge
sharp protest against this de-
cision and issue warrant for the
arrest of the bishops. on their ar
rival in the capital. These instruc-
tions the German military COM
mander in Oslo, Gen. Harmian,
bluntly revoked.
Swedish reports from Oslo hint
that this incident was one more sign
of the long existing conflict between
the Nazi party and the military.

mander in chief of the Nazi army

The hard way of war: Well,
citizens, the news this week Is that
by October we will have worn out
35 per cent of the rubber that was
on our tires on New Years Day. 1t
has not been easy. After all, you
don't get thing like that done
without effort. We have had to
force great deal of gasoline
through the submarines to the East
to help make this record; 1t has
taken heroism to waste this rubber.
1t looks as if it will also take
sacrifice to maintain this program
of using up our rubber. Some Ameri-
cans, in the East, will have to go
cold, or at least chilly, this winter
for want of fuel oil, If we are to
continue our use of rubber at the
present rate. You have to give up
something. If you want to waste
rubber, you need gas; if you ship
gas, you ship less fuel oil; waste is
as logical as anything else.

One of the best chapters in the
recent Herman book, Defense Will
Not Win the War" was the final,

author attacked the "pseudo-liberal

a view to their effect on the battle
but with a view to their effect on
the minds of the people.
Well citizens, our tires had an
average of 10000 miles left on them

the average remaining mileage will

If you go below 1000 miles. you can

What guarantee stands back Of
the Allied war aims as thus far
expressed?
Daily the Atlantic Charter, de-
signed by President Roosevelt
and Prime Minister Churchill
last August in their dramatic
conference somewhere at sea,
grows in importance as repre-
senting the probable fundamental
principles upon which the new
world order will be built after
the war.
This new bill of rights for man,
indorsed by Is other nations. is
a pillar of fire to lead the Allied
armies. 1t is likely to form the
basis of any peace treaty. If any
Of the AXIS peoples should decide
to break away from their leaders
and make a separate peace, they
certainly will be drawn to a con-
siderable degree by this magnet.
Of more immediate concern,
should compromise be reached
between Britain and the Indian
Nationalist in the great crisis
which now threatens the security
of the whole Allied cause, it
doubtless will involve some guar
antee to the Nationalists that
they will receive the freedom
which Britain promises to give
them after the war. The Ma
tionalists are suspicious of Eng
land.

There's no indication at this
writing that a compromise is
possible, but the Atlantic Char

Britain respect the right of all

government under which they
will live"

Pact Would Gain Nothing.
The State Department and the
British Foreign Office do not re-
gard the Russian situation emo
tionally. They consider that
Stain will act in accordance with
the best interests of the USSR
and of Stain himself. There
is nothing for either Russia or
Stain to gain by making sep
arate peace with the Axis. Hence,
it is concluded that there will be
no peace between the two powers,
even if the Nazis fully succeed in
their operations in Russia.
The question before the Mos
COW conferees Is what can be done
for Russia in the near future.
There Is no question that Amer
lea and Britain must find ways
and means of supplying the Rus
slams with war material, regard

Murmansk must be ruled out
as port of entry for goods going
to Russia, because, besides being
under constant attack by the
Nazis. it is too far from the new
Russian front. Archangel is still
a possibility with its railway line
leading eastward. But Archangel
is open to shipping for only six or
seven months of the year.
Vladivostok Remains.
If the Nazis reach the Caspian
the connection with the Persian
Gulf will be severed, That will
leave only one line of communi-
cation to Russia: From our West
Coast to Vladivostok and thence
by way of the Trans-S Siberian
Railway.
Vladivostok is ice-free IL
months of the year. A string OF
commercial and military air.
dromes stretch from that port to
the Urals. AS long as the Rus
slams were fighting on the old
Leningrad-Sevastopol line this
route was not used because of
the distance, but If the Russians
are pushed into the Urals 1t
will be the shortest line from
the United States.
The principal obstacle to such
route, of course, is Japan, which
controls the sea in that area. The
answer rests with Moscow and
has unquestionably formed a
major part of the discussions
between Stain and the repre-
sentatives of the United Nations
The results of those conversa-
tons are expected to be trans
lated into action before long
and depend altogether on what
agreement exists between Russia
and Japan and what the United
Nations might do to make that
line safe from Jap interference.
