as q great strategist" and the prin-

Stain, he said, Is 10 times as
strong with his people now Is he
was at the start Of the struggle
seven months ago.
Although Russia will have twice
as many men under arms by spring
as she had then, Sir Stafford
warned against any misconception
Of the Red Army's rcsurgent winter
drive.
The Germans are not routed, he
said. Losses on both sides are ex-
tremely heavy and the Germans are
fighting to the last man"
Excellent Spirit.
The chief factor behind the Soviet
successes, he declared, was the spirit
Of the Russians, giving them
strength to Withstand enormous
suffering. In some areas. he de-
clared, food Is scarce because trans
portation facilities have been given
over to war uses and in others
blasted buildings give poor shelter

dent Of crushing Germany by next
fan and winter.
And, he said. the Russians, With
100000 well-equipped men In their
still growing armed forces, intend
to make the conquest absolutely
complete and thorough"
Sir Stafford did not elaborate
either on this phase Of his tribute
to the fighting strength and heart
Of the Soviet Union or on the poten-
tial Russian-Japanese strife In the
Pacific.
Russia and Japan. he declared,
have long standing differences which
never can be settled except by force.

intimAted that tho Red Army, With
twice the number Of troops it had

many last June "a, was prepared to
deal with It's enemies either In the

The British labor leader, who Is
at the height Of his popularity be-
cause Of his successful mission to

Of shunting older generals into

In their stores to collect tooth paste,

Something To 1t

Alfred c. Fuller, president OF the Con
necticut Manufacturers Association.
says that "the working car is a war ne
ceSsity". In the current Issue of Connec-
ticut Industry he makes a case for con-
tlnued use of the average Worklngman's
car despite curtailment of rubber and
possibly OF gasoline in days to come He
maintains that if it ever becomes neces-
Sary to ban the operation of thousands
OF automobiles now engaged in carrying
defense workers back and forth from their
place of employment there will be a ser
lous arrangement of the industrial situa-
ton right here in our own state.
There's lot to what he says and we've
got to face the fact that public utilities
would be hard pressed to cope with the
situation il there were hundreds and
hundreds of workers cars garaged for
want of tires and gasoline to allow daily
operation. Mr.. Fuller doesn't think there
are sufficient bus facilities throughout the
state to meet any such emergency as this
and he seems to doubt that the traction
companies could or would try to satisfy the
public demand.
Any pickup in production and even the
continued smOothness in the same is nat
urally dependent on the availability of
skilled and non-skilled employees If their
means of conveyance are removed, GER
tainly there is going to be serious i'm
pediment placed in the path of speedy
output. Officials dealing with curtail-
ments will have to consider seriously the
need of taking care of one means of
transportation which has become in
creasingly important with the ability of
the average Workingman to acquire an
automobile for himself
