positions In that region and II
they show the same determine
ton as before, it will be quite a
long while before the swastika
flies over that city.
It is true that the losses In
shipping and difficulties Of trans
portation OF American war mate
rial from Murmansk and Arch
angel have prevented the Russians
from receiving the full quota OF
tanks and planes we have sent
over. It is equally true that four
months of offensive action by the
Russians have left big dent IN
their war stores. But from what
our representatives at Kuibyshev
hear, the Soviet Armies still have
important reserves which should
enable them to prevent the Nazis
from reaching their objectives.
Grave Consequences.
In most ofncial quarters 1t Is
believed that Hitler and his asso-
ciates will find the resistance OF
the Russians stiffening as they
move deeper into the Soviet
Union. On the other hand. some
believe the failure Of the United
States and Britain to heed the
Russian appeals for the opening
of a second front has had q bad
effect on the Soviet high COM
mand.
1t is regarded as possible that
the Russians are yielding ground
more rapidly than in the past
with a view to warning us Of what
might happen in Europe If the
second front Is not established
soon. They are trying to point
out to US the disastrous conse-

rear. Hence any estimate of the
situation must be based on as
sumptions and deductions.
The outstanding fact which
appears from the communiques
is that the Russian armies ap-
pear to be fighting with less
vigor than a year ago. This i'm
preston may be created by the
fact that the forces opposing the
Nazis were taken by surprise and
that the main bodies Of fully
equipped Soviet armies are else
where.
Stalinxrad Well Fortified.
From what bits of information
our observers were able to gather
before the Nazi offensive was
launched, 1t appears that the
Russians had their best forces
concentrated for the defense of
two vital cities: Moscow and
Rostov. The Nazis made their
push in the middle, toward the
ancient city of Voronezh, which
was a fortress against the Cos
sacks in the 18th century.
The Nazi claims that they have
taken the city are probably as
correct as those Of the Russians,
who say fighting is still going on
there. Voronezh comprises sew
eral quarters, all fortified, and
while the Germans have entered
one portion the others are still
in Russian hands.
But even If the fortress-town
falls to the enemy long, hard
road must still be travelled to
Russia's principal industrial cen
ter, Stalingrad. The Russians
have prepared excellent fortified

might have to be placed under
arrest.
At the beginning OF the war,
the Viceroy of India, Lord Lin
lithgow received Gandhi. The
latter was told that violence
men could avail themselves of
the privileged treatment granted
In England to conscientious OBJ
jectors but that they should not
move beyond. At that time, the
possibility of India's ever being
directly involved in the war
seemed, indeed, very remote. The
government at New Delhi Ger
tainly will not relax its settled
policy at a moment when the
country is well within the Japan
ese menace.
Now it is for Gandhi to make
up his mind. His program has
been Endorsed by the working
committee of the All-India Con-
gress at its recent Wardah con-
ference. His next step is timed
to occur on August 5, when he
will consult with the full party
committee. The working COM
mittee consists of Is members
and the full committee of $50.
According to observers on the
spot, Gandhi will carry the larger
body as easily as he did the
smaller one.
Government Stand Stated.
The government of India JUS
tifles its attitude as follows: The
question at issue, the independ-
ence OF India, must no longer be
regarded as a controversial mat
ter. It is as good as settled since
Sir Stafford Grips visit. The
moment the Axis has been de-
feated, India can elect whatever
constituent assembly 1t desires.
1t will be open to that assembly
to determine the future OF the
country. Whether India is to
remain within the British Com
monwealth of Nations or break
loose and work out her own des-
tiny in the world, it will be for
her representatives to decide.
Buy why does not the imperial
government give India, without
further delay, the chance OF find
ing out her own will and framing
her own constitution? The an
swer Is that, from the point OF
view Of India's independence, the
winning of the war is a prerequi-
site condition. II Japan over
whelmed the Asiatic continent,
India could not expect to rule her
own house. She would be con-
quered. Consequently, the I'M
mediate change in the status Of
India, urged by Gandhi, could
only ne enforced at the present
time II it were proved that VIC
tory would be helped and not i'm
peded by 1t. The imperial gov
ernment is satisfied that 1t could
not fail to impede victory.

idea was promulgated by the White
House and it has been scuttled by
the White House. Obviously, such
policy could only be made effective
through Presidential leadership. No
one else can sound the keynote and
no one else can set the example
Only If the President leads can the
lesser politicians be expected to
follow. Mr.. Roosevelt made the
appeal, but unfortunately he has
not set the example.
On the contrary, he is proceeding
in exactly the opposite direction to
the one to which he pointed.
Within the last few weeks the White
House has been the scene OF dozen
and more purely political confer
ences and the President, operating
through Mr.. Eddie Flynn and
others, is actively engaged in a
wrestling match with politicians Of
AAS OWA ObdIC.
Comments Of Observers.
The New York Times states that
the contest has developed into a
fight between President Roosevelt
and State Chairman Farley for
control of the organization" Mark
Sullivan reports that the President
is greatly enjoying the contest
James L. Wright, Of the Buffalo
News, says 'it is clear the New
York situation is engrossing Mr..
Roosevelts attention" and asks
How many tnan-hours has the
President spent dabbling in politics
while leading the country in the
greatest war in history?" Other
correspondents write that what the
President is really after is control
Of the State organization and of
the delegation to the 1914 conven-
tion."
Certainly, there is no other ex-
planation of the energy with which
he has plunged into the. New York
situation. 1t is true, his friends say,
that what the President seeks is
the nomination for Governor of q
man who was for his foreign policies
prior to Pearl Harbor, but that

explanation Is rendered absurd by
the fact that Attorney General Ben
nett, who is Mr.. Farley's candidate
was 100 per cent for those policies
before Pearl Harbor and for Mr..
Roosevelt for third term. too. Also,
he Is ooncededly as much Of a
liberal as Senator Mead, now re-
garded as the White House candi-
date. So what 1t really comes down
to is that the President opposes Mr.
Bennett because his success would
rivet Mr.. Farley's control of the
State organization and probable
control Of the 1914 delegation.
There is involved in the fight no
issue of foreign policy or admins
tration loyalty. There is in it no
question of congressional candidates,
Of support Of the President or of
Mr.. BENEFITS character or ability.
Very clearly, 1t Is White House
effort to prevent the State, ma
chine from being controlled by men
who will be under no obligation to
the President and, therefore, able
in 1914 to act independently OF the
White House wish. For the first
time in 10 years, Mr.. Farley is in
position to be independent and this
independence is thing Mr.. Roose-
velt resents and would like to cur
tail-particularly as it might inter-
fere with hts own political purposes
In 1914.
Some time ago one OF our most
erudite journalistic commentators
made the plea that because the
Presidents energies and time were
so terribly taxed by the great mill
tary, naval and diplomatic problems
with which he has to deal, he could
not be expected adequately to handle
such matters as gasoline rationing,
the rubber shortage and taxation.
These things. 1t was said, should
be lifted from the shoulders Of this
heavily burdened man 50 that he
could concentrate his full strength
upon the mighty questions Of
strategy upon which the fate of
civilization hinges. How does this
sort of exhortation appear now when
measured against the time and
energy which the President is de-
voting to a political struggle in
which the prize is the control of q
party machine?
Considering the openness with
which this White House political
campaign Is being conducted, how
can members Of Congress be effec-
lively assailed for not putting aside
their personal and political interests
during the war? They ought not,
OF course, to be thinking In terms Of
politics, but when they see the Presi-
dent thinking and talking and con-
ferring in those terms what can
you expect? This is the sort Of
situation, news of which the new
Office of War Information naturally
will not disseminate. But Is 1t not
one the American people should
understand just the same?

Gondhi May, Be Restrained
British Government in No Mood to Permit
Civil Trouble With Jops ot Indies 0otes

On Gandhi'S own admission, .
period of anarchy is bound to fol-
low the withdrawal Of British
power. No less than 10000, 900
Indians, that is, 10000, 900 Mos
lens, 5000, 900 outcastes. 5000
Sikhs, ETC., refuse to put up with
the political ascendancy Of the
Hindus. and they are ready to re-
sist to the point Of civil war.
Let US fight is out between our
selves" Gandhi keeps on repeat
ing IN his weekly Harlan. Let
the British leave India into Gods
hands. Anyhow, a true India will
rise in the place OF the false one
we see"
That line of reasoning cannot
be called very impressive. A
chaotic India would fall to the
Japanese like ripe fruit.
How can Gandhi and his
friends honestly think that their
claim, If translated into action,
would not open the way to jap
anese onslaught? They fall back
on the explanation that the
United Nations might. neverthe-
less, be allowed to make use OF In
dian territory for strategic pur-
poses after the Indian Army itself
had been disbanded.
Argument Held Empty.
This is so much empty talk. The
only rational and coherent policy
to ne detected behind 50 many
obscure formulas may be ex-
pressed as follows:
On the termination of the war.
while, undoubtedly, the British
government will redeem its prom
Use, the Congress party cannot be
sure that independence will dawn
upon the land. To make a prac-
tical approach toward the goal. 1t
will have to engage In thorny
negotiations with the Moslems
and other minorities. AS is we'll
known, the Moslems insist upon
autonomous states to be created
apart from Hindu India. The
Congress is no more likely to
have anything to do with that
scheme than the Irish govern
nent in Dublin is to recognize the
rights of the Ulster counties.
Thus, In the final analysis, the
independence of India appears to
be In the gift, not only Of the
British, but also Of the Moslems.
Such being the terms Of the
problem, the suspicion arises that
there are elements in India which
look to Japan for getting rid Of
the British connection and for
compelling simultaneously the
ethnic dissidents to submit to
Hindu overlordship. Gandhi
himself probably does not travel
over that road but the policy
which he extols must automati-
cally, out of sheer necessity, ex-
pand in parallelism with it.
Internal affairs in India, as
they are today, do not call for
pessimism. The army now
reaches the total strength of L.
257 900 men as against 157,00 in
September, 1899. Monthly en-
listments average $4,000. Short
age Of equipment and not lack
Of soldiers Is the weak point in
the system Of defense. Factory
production scars comparatively
high. Those are favorable re-
suits. But, even in the belief that
civil disobedience will hardly do
more than place a heavy burden
upon the police and the admin
istrative system, the imperial
government Is not willing to al
low risks to accumulate in addi-
ton to the real peril which turks
at short distance.
