 (Axis radios said that 1t was now confirmed" that Prime Minister Winston Churchill had arrived in Russia. The Axis insisted that Lau- renee A. Steinhardt, United States ambassador to Turkey, was also on his way to Moscow.)
 Experts Face Crisis
 The especially well informed Daily Telegrapfy2 after outlining the serious plight of Russia, said edi- torially today:
 Such is the military layout which confronts the diplomatic and mill tary experts now assembling in Mos- COW. It is useless to speculate for the moment on the larger poSsibil- ities of this gather of eagles. They will certainly take into account more than the immediate military situation. For example, the future consequences of the enemy's ad- vance are more serious than its im- mediate results"
 Among those known to be in Mos- COW were Adm. William H. Standley and Sir Archibald Clarke-Kerr, the American and British ambassadors; Mai. Gen. Follett Bradley, United States Army, special representative of President Roosevelt; Brig. Gen Philip Faymonville, American Lease Lend delegate; Roger Garreau Fighting France representative, and Maj. Gen. William Steffanson, rep resenting the Norwegian government in exile.
 GA United Press Moscow dispatch said that Garreau and Steffanson had been in Moscow for some time and that the American and British embassies insisted that the ambas- sadors were there on routine busi- ness.)
 It was reported that Gen. Brad ley and Adm. Standley were gueste of the Russian army at 8 Moscow dinner last night.
 b Apropos of the Daily Telegraph hint on the importance of discuss ing the future consequences of the German Caucasus advance, Axis radio broadcasts reported that American endorsements, including the biggest tanks, we're flowing into Egypt, where Gen. Charles dc Gaulle, the Fighting French leader arrived yesterday. De Gaulle was expected to confer with Fighting French forces in Egypt as well as with the British command.
 Germany disclosed that Fielc Marshall Hermann Goering, No. Nazi, had held a two-day conference with a big and most important grour of German leaders who constituted sort of supreme defense council.

 They went on to hurl bombs on targets of all sorts along the Pearl river and in Japanese army and navy centers.
 Several Japanese planes were des- troyed aground and extensive dam age was done to the docks, wharves and various installations.

 PRESENT WAR

 them as much help as we led them to expect" the report said. Tremendous plant expansions during the past two years have giv- en the nation "more factories than, at the moment we can use-not too many, perhaps, compared to the ultimate need, but too many for the amount of raw materials at present available"
 Pooling Themselves
 Persons who eagerly believe" there will be plenty of rubber for pleasure driving and military and essential civilian needs "are only fooling themselves, and helping the enemy"
 The "initial disasters" at Pearl Harbor and on the Philippine air fields cost plenty" and "the won- der is not that we lost so much but that we held on to 50 much" American victories against Supe- rior forces at Midway and in the Coral Sea, while brilliant were "de- fensive victories"
 The review described the war as against men with whom no hon. orable peace is possible" This enemy can be defeated only when it is de- stroyed.
 "To win a total war we must fight 1t totally, and we are not fighting 1t that hard," 1t said. we are fighting fanatical men out for world domination, and we can beat them only if we want to beat them as badly as they want to beat us."
 The nation, 1t said, is "deep in what may be the decisive year of the war" but the conflict still Is a long way of from our shores thanks to our good luck and the stubborn ness of our allies"
 But 1942," 1t said, twill be de- cisive year only if our enemies do not succeed in inf1icting crippling blows on our allies before the year is out. Even if they fail in that, they will still take a lot of licking"
 If the enemy should paralyzt Russia's striking power, wear down China's endurance, or break Bri- ] tain's power in the middle east, 1t said, "the war will be decided in some later year not now foreseen and victory will be fare more costly
 No Useful Purpose
 Popular pressure for opening ot a second front can serve mo useful purpose" without full approval ot military authorities.
 Although the United States turned out more airplanes than any other nation in the world during June, the OWI reported that 1t was not as many as the nation said il was going to make. This would near that-unless the slack is taken up the presidents goals of 60,0O0 planes this year would not be attained
 Production of small craft needed to fight submarines during June was less than half that scheduled OWI disclosed.
 To date, American casualties have been about only one in 5000. Int OWI gravely warned that Ameri. cans would do well to prepare themselves for "heavy losses O men,"
 The United Nations still hold thu central Pacific and have reinforced Australia. But the Japanese enem! has control of the Philippines, thu Dutch Indies and the Malay benin sula which supplied most of thu rubber that this country so badl! needs.
 Tn global war we cannot ex pect always to win everywhere; w may have to learn to take local ant temporary defeats as part of tn, price of ultimate victory" 1t said 'Our ancestors could do that; if VI can't we shall be unable to save tn independence they won for us"

 friend to a sincere friend" and in- formant said, and added that it was intended to avoid 8 catastrophe 1n event that the viceroy's reply was unsatisfactory.
 As the critical hour approached, faint hope rose - as it has done illusively SO often before - that a comproise would be possible.
 But admittedly the hope was based Nks aEe, .Elea that Britain might agree to open negotiations on Che Nation alistS' terms.
 It was understood that Gandhi had received a long telegram from Horace Alexander, British Quaker, who is now at New Delhi, the capl- tai, conferring with high officials.
 Also Sir lei Bahadur Sapru, l1b- eral leader, was still trying to ar- range a round table compromise conference at which all-1ndian elements and the British govern- ment would be represented.
 It was said that the Moslem League representing 80,O00, 900 Mo hammedans was unenthuSiastic, but Sapru persevered and was in corre- spondence with the viceroy.
 Leaders forecast that only a handful of Indian communists on the All Inria Congress Committee, which represents the vast National ist Congress party, would oppose the disobedience resolution.
 Mohandas K. Gandhi, spiritual leader of the Nationalist movement and prospective leader of the dis obedience campaign, was expected to make a speech immediately after the passage of the resolution, an- nouncing details of the campaign and expressing hope that Britain, by a last moment equalization, would avoid 1t.
 Tn the preface to a propaganda pamphlet published today, outlin. ing methods which the government of India was alleged to use in op- position to the All-India Congress, Gandhi challenged the government to call a plebiscite to test public opinion on the Nationalist demand for immediate independence.

Fire Huzurd

Editor The Times: noticed the
other day that fire department
official said all the clubs and
gathering places in Tacoma were
being inspected and precautions
taken TO prevent a catastrophe
like that at the Boston night club.
So far I haven't seen that an
nouncement put into action. There
are spots in Tacoma where the
cheap. f1imsy and dry decorations
are still in place. Several places
on Pacific avenue have only one
exit. The same is true of Com
merce street resorts. One in par
ticular is crowded nearly every
night. There are sometimes four
or five hundred persons there. II
they all tried to get out at one
time, next morning we could see
what happened in Boston.

. Bearing the Yoke

One Of the regrets expressed By parents
Is that the privations caused by the war
are going to be so hard on the young peo-
pie. They are going to be deprived of
their automobiles. Restrictions being
placed on the use of school buses. may
compel some Of them to walk as much as a
mile to school. And so on.
Jeremiah, in the Book of Lamenta-
tons, wrote: 1T is good thing for a man
that he bear the yoke in his youth IN
that connection it is recalled that two of
the greatest characters in American his
tory bore a pretty heavy yoke in their
youth.
George Washington, though born in a
home of culture and comfort, as boy ex-
perienced privations and hardships.
Lincoln was born in a one-room cabin
with a dirt floor and lighted by single
window. He grew 10 young manhood ac-
customed to toll, and Injured to hardships.
He chopped wood, split rails, and did all
sorts of chores, no matter how back
breaking.
Washington's youthful yoke enabled
him in after years to endure the ordeal of
that bitter winter at Valley Forge. and to
stand up against defeats, disappointments,
and detractions. His body bore the scars
of exposure; his spirit was indomitable.
Lincoln's early hardships were as step
ping stones to positions of power, prestige,
and unimagined burdens. His hardships
were blessings in disguise. He built the
rail pile as he built the state" He was
SO used to hard knocks that the blows of his
political enemies, while severe, found him
toughened to stand them every one.
A biographer of another famous Amer
lean accounts for a certain defect in his
heros character by citing the fact that as
a boy he was never licked or sat upon"
by playmate. Thus he grew up without
the discipline of having to fight his own
battles on the playground and was the
loser thereby.
There is something here to think on
Hardship, little of it, is a good thing.
Parents who attempt to shield their chill
dren from every least bit of adversely,
make a mistake. A little of the yoke
makes for character. Having to over
come difficulties now is good training for
uncertain years that are ahead.

. Coffee We Cant Get

Trickling through from the state de-
partment is the news that the United
States government. carrying out the good
neighbor policy. has bought last years
unshipped portion of the Brazil coffee crop
and has contracted to buy ninety per cent
of next years crop. The deal was effected
through the Commodity Credit Corpora
ton.
This means that we have on order in
Brazil for $4,000 sacks of soffee. This
does not mean that the OPA is going to
declare the coffee ration off. It's virtually
our coffee but we have no ships to carry it.
But what an awful coffee spree we can
have when the war is over!
