Some light on the Russo-Japa-
nesc puzzle in the Far East is
provided by veteran Soviet
chroniclcr Maurice Hindus in his
new book, Russia and Japan"
Doubleday, Doran: So In it he
flatly predicts that war between
the two countries is as inevitable
as was the Russian-Gcrman con-
fliCt.
Drawing parallels between the
Soviet-Nazi situation in l939-4O
and the present Russo-Jap posi-
ton, Hindus points out that both
Germany and Japan made pacts
with Russia for the sake Of tenn
porary advantage in promoting
long range purpose. To attain her
imperialiStic ends, Japan must
drive Russia from the Far East,
and con only settle her multitude
of conflicts with the Soviet ma
tion-eConomic, geographic, So
cial and ideological-with war
fare.
Hindus, who accurately pre-
dictcd the German attack on
Russia, indicates that the forth
coming RuSso-Jap war has really
been in progress off and on for
the past several years when some
24OO TO 5000 clashes took place
between land and air forces of
the two nations on the Siberia
Manchukuo border. His analysis

George F Adde'S complaint, that the

point Of Mr.. RooseveIt's speech on in

The ideo-which millions Of workers

tory-treosurer-is that our national
standard Of living must come down.
Labor, like all consumers, will find less
in the stores to buy. Without major od-

Gle Sam is going to roise toxes just to

FARTHER TO GO

Apparently there is no end TO Rus-
sian trickery. They declined to collapse
otter the Nozis had threshed them

the Nozi advance into reverse, the Keds
moved their war plants off to the OroIS
and beyond
So this spring, when the Reich arm
les bottle their bloody way eastward,
they will find slim Pickings. At ProdI9-
ious cost, the Nozis probably can push
back the Reds. But miles mean nothing
in Russia. So long as the Soviet armies
remain intact, and their Pittsbur9hs,
Detroits, and San Oiegos keep smok-
ina, Russia will endure.

PULITZER PRIZES

Historians will be hard put to it to
find year more packed with drama
than l94l Against the tragedies in the
news, the best Of stoge PIoys competed
with difficulty In some measure this
situation is reflected in the Pulitzer
oWords for the year.
The Pulitzer Committee Joined with
the Drama Critics Circle in finding no
American play worthy Of O prize. At
the some time the newspaper owords
appear TO loom with more than their
usual importance. The prize for edi-
toriol writing has more than once in
the post been awarded for some tour de
force Of word arrangement which
seemed to many thoughtful newspaper
men less worthy than the totoI impact
Of other work which enlightened and
moved Iorge bodies Of opinion
This year the award goes to Godfrey
Parsons Of the New York Herald Trib-
une, not only for his consistently distin-
9uished writing but in recognition Of
"on outstanding instance where poIt-
col oftiIiotion wos completely subord-

HE KNEW EUROPE
Although an autobiography,
Leo Lania'S To-day We Are
Brothers (Houghton Mifflin:
$500, is primarily the story of
% years of living in Europe, and
one of the best things of its kind,
because LAMA knew Europe init
mately for those fateful years
which saw the World War fought
and the stage set for the present
conflict.
The book is broad canvas,
across which marches such var
led figures as Trotsky, Lenin,
Mussolini and Hitler, Karl Rad
ok, D'Annunzio, Jan Masaryk,
and Hugo SHINES. Across it, too,
march many lesser people. Here,
too, is Berlin in the days of in
flation, a city given over to hun
ger, to fear, and to debauchery.
LAMA learned the full horror
of war as a soldier in the first
World War, knew Europe's tragic
aftermath but yet obviously be-
lieves that the struggle is not in
vain. His book is an engroSsing
record of that struggle as he has
participated in 1T.

PHILIP MURRAY'S SHIRT

~ would lose my shirt today" said
President Phil Murray Of the c. |. O.,
ITO help the President win the war"
Almost simultaneously William l.
Bott, head of the WIPES Materials d.
vision, was quoting Rudyord KiPIing,
writing out Of the collective mouth Of
World War British war dead:
The battery is out Of ammunition
If any mourn US at the shops, soy
We died because the shift kept hoIi-
doy.
Murray is willing to lose his shirt to
help win the war, but he insists upon O
SI-o-doy poy raise for 10000 steel
workers. His union is working "unceos-
ineIy, untrineIy and relentIessly" for
Labor Board elections on the basis Of
which q closed shop campaign will be
woged.
The two declarations can be re-
conciIed. Only the most reoctionory
deny to unions or individual workers
the right to ask for wage raises or even
for the closed shop. But no realistic OBJ
server believes either will be granted
q struggle.
Only Phil Murray knows how for he
is willing to go to enforce his demands
Probably not even he con predict that
such O campaign will not get out Of
hand, and sabotage the war effort.
Whenever the effect Of union oct
iVities upon war production is discussed
there is somebody in Washington ready
to prove with figures that strikes ore
1927 per cent nonresident.
In the absence Of complete, ou-
thentic tobuIotion, it is difficult TO re-
flute such statements. But the best OBJ
servers claim they do not tell the whole
story.
For instance, there was the ship
yard whose management had two ther-
pointed on q wall. One regis
tered actual production, the other in
dicoted what We Might Have Done"
The second came down promptly Un-
ion officials objected that it wos on at
tempt TO speed up the workers.
For lack Of ships and planes and
tanks
We lie here where we fought in SER

Because too little and too late
The shift made six instead Of eight.
