By GEORG STRANDvOLD

During the spring there was rela-
lively little activity on the three So
to-say regular fronts of the second
world war, those of Russia, Libya
and China, but midsummer has
brought with it renewed and violent
fighting in Europe, Africa and Asia,
and at this particular moment the
odds are, seemingly, in favor of the
axis powers. They have been that
before. Also, they have shifted be-
fore, will no doubt do so again.
Last Monday it was exactly one
year since Hitler invaded that Rus
STA with which he himself had con-
cluded friendship and non-aggres-
sion treaty; that solemn agreement
meant, in effect, that Germany could
attack Russia as little as Russia
could attack Germany But Hitler
thought he saw an advantage of vio-
lating another pledge, and he did it.
After having made desperate
attempts during the year to cap
ture Leningrad, Moscow and 9TH
er large cities, Hitler is just now
concentrating his efforts around
SevastOpol in Crimea. Moscow
admits that that very important
port is very seriously menaced,
and it may even have fallen to
the besiegers when these lines
are being read.
At Kharkov in Ukraine the Rus
slams are doing their best trying to
recover lost ground, but the battle
in this sector remains at the stage
known as stalemate.
Libyan Front.
There is possibility that if Hit
Ter conquers all of Crimea, he may
march into Caucasus and then try
to forge ahead in the hope of being
able to- penetrate Iran and Iraq.
Should he succeed in this, he may
be thinking of going on toward
Egypt while other Nazi forces may
invade that country with Libya as
base of operations.

International News Review

Naturally, his plans are not
known, but it is fact that the
Libyan front has become acutely
alive once more, and that Brit
iSh troops retreated from the
region around TObruk a few
days ago. On Sunday the city
itself had to surrender, and from
now on an attack on Egypt looks
far less improbable than it did
some time ago. That, also, i'm
plies that the port of Alexandria
and the Suez canal are seriously
threatened.
Such a threat, likewise, hints at
danger to India where Mohandas

try.
War in China.
While the war seemingly APP
proaches a new climax in Russia
and has reached one in Libya, it is
becoming intensified in China, espe-
cially in the coastal sections where
the japanese keep on sending fresh
war supplies and endless numbers
of new troops.
China's great handicap is that
now she is, practically, cut off
from supplies and reinforcements
from all sources and must defy
the enemy alone.
The realization of this has prompt
ed Chang Kai-shek's government at
Chungking to issue to the United
Nations another stirring appeal for
immediate and effective help. But
since the Japanese cut off the Burma
road supply line, and since the Jap
anese are in possession of practically
the entire coast line of China, there
is very little prospect of offering the
harassed country any relief from the
japanese American.

Gus criticism to those who failed

best guarantees for democracy's

Local 755 Union Home
BY George c. Mathews, UE Local 755

The campaign for the purchase of the Delco Local 75 Hall is
under full swing with new memberships being purchased every day.
Time is drawing near when the membership of the UE at Delco will
be proud owners of their permanent Union headquarters.
Your Housing Committee is asking you to do your part in this
campaign by buying a share in the security that your Union has
brought you. The raises, vacations with pay, the increased security
that seniority has brought you can only hold good SO long az you
maintain the unity of spirit and action that have won them.

This is a small thing for you to
do in return for the advantages
that you have won through your
Union. You are not asked to give
anything in the line of an actual
contribution. You are merely
asked to loan a small part of your
benefits to your Local.
Every share that is purchased
in the Recreation Hall of Delco
Local 755 will be bought back
from the workers who help. The
money hat is now going for the
rent of the Hall and offices will
be used to r~epurchase every share
that is sold. Then the member

ent owners of their Union home.

It is well for each and every
one of us to review the recent
election results, take stock of the
situation, give thought to the new
problems which have developed,
consider for a moment the steps
necessary to insure an all-out
effort to win the war, while pro-
tecting labor's security and living
standards, in spite of the election
trend.
It is generally felt that the
Republican gains were largely due
to the failure of the Administra-
ton to fully prosecute an offensive
war, as we'll as it's bungling of a
broad national economic program
necessary to speedy victory. We
have now taken the offensive in
the most impressive manner on
the field of battle. Thus one ad-
ministration shortcoming which
lent fuel to Republican campaign
talks, is being liquidated.
The problems which arise from
the need for a national war pro-
gram on the economic front, are
still there, awaiting rectification.
There exists too much misunder-
standing and too many rumors in
connection with the whole man.
power question. We are on the
verge of a most serious labor
shortage, yet there exists no ade-
quate program to handle the sit
uation. The rationing program has
mot been effective, since we can
observe rising food costs, in
creased profits on the part Of the
food trusts, while boarding of
civilian commodities goes On.
The tax program has laid greatly
increased burdens on the workers,
while, as the Wall Street Journal
says, &c. this tax bill has treated
industry much better than was
ever expected" Many corporations
actually set aside larger tax e
serves than they will need. The
threats of wage freezing" coupl-
ed with rising living costs, and
increased taxes certainly didn't
help the Democratic Administra-
ton.
The elections should therefore
be a serious warning to the Ad-
ministration, pointing towards the
need of effective economic plan
ming for about offensive war,
both at home and abroad.
But the elections mean even
more to us. We know that the
Tafts, Smiths, Cox's, Dies, Ben
ders' and others will be encourag-
ed to bait labor, and attempt the
wrecking of labor and social leg
islation. They will not see the
election returns as a demand for
increased all-out war effort, and
the need for national economic
planning to win the war.
AS our destinies, and the welfare
of our memberships are decided
more and more at Capitol Hill, and
in the State House, it becomes our
duty to develop, and carry through
a more aggressive, and effective
program of legislative activity
both here and in Washington. We
must never for a moment permit
the Republican minds to forget
what the true election sentiments
and desires of the people were,
and are. AT the same time closer
cooperation and unity of effort
must be established with the pro-
~gressives in Congress, regardless
of their party label, to insure eff
fective prosecution of the offensive
