and the bulk Of the Nan hrst-
line aviation was concentrated
for that operation. There were
some of the usual reserves avail
able for requirements In Marshal
Rommel's army, but not enough
to convert his diversion into .

applies to the mechanised forces.
Miraculous Coincidence.
The British reinforcements are
said to have reached Egypt by an
almost miraculous coincidence
the very same day that Marshal
Rommel began his drive on El
Alamein. These Allied troops
were Immediately thrown into
battle, even though the necessary
tank support was still lacking.
They were fresh, and though un-
tried, gave = good account OF
themselves as q stop-gap force

Whether the Nazi high COM
mand can now divert enough
forces to strengthen Marshal
Rommels army and also begin q
pincers movement toward the

question which competent OBJ

attorney. II there were, he would
be out now making q fight for
delegates to the State convention
in an effort to win the nomina-
ton against Mr. Dewey.
Electing Republican Gov.
ernor in New York State is no
easy job, when it is remembered
that the State has gone Demo-
cratic constantly in State elec-
tions since before the days of Al
Smith, who was four times
elected Governor. Even the year
that Herbert Hoover carried New
York in the presidential race
over Al Smith, the Democrats
elected a Governor. He is now
President. The effort to defeat
Dewey has gone to the extent
Of an attempted draft" move
ment in the interests OF Mr.. Will
kie himself. But Mr.. Willkie has
thrown cold water on the plan
to nominate him.
Stampede May Be Tried.
Filings for the primaries, when
delegates to the State conven-
ton are to be elected, have been
completed. No effort has been
made to place Willkie delegates
In the field against delegates
pledged to Mr.. Dewey. II any
further play is to be made, it
will be an effort to stampede the
convention for Willkie and
against Dewey. The chances are
it will not work, even II at
tempt is made. Mr.. Dewey has
refrained from making any pub"
lie comment on the activities Of
his opponents.
In Democratic quarters, the
Presidents statement that he
would support any liberal" who
had gone along with his foreign
policies and upon whom the
Democratic leaders could agree,
made at his press conference on
Tuesday. has been regarded as a
first definite blow to knock out
the candidacy Of Mr.. Bennett.
The New Dealers do not regard
Mr.. Bennett as a liberal even
though Mr.. Farley insists that
his candidate is all OF that, and
that he has supported all Of the
Presidents policies. Mr.. Ben
nett's "illiberaity" grows out OF
the fact he has not always pleased
union labor and the American
Labor party during his service
as attorney general Of the Stste.
OF course, the President could,
If he would, place the mantle of
liberality on the shoulders Of Mr..
Bennett If he desired. A good
many Of the Democratic leaders,
however, believe that the Presi-
dent will use his influence to
eliminate Mr.. Bennett from the
picture. These leaders insist that
Mr.. Farley and his organization
will not be able to stand up
against such An onslaught. Fur
ther, they say that Mr.. Farley
and his friends must in the end
agree to 90 along with the Presi-
dent In this matter. And some
Of them continue to predict that
Senator Mead will be the COM
promise candidate. He Is accept

spokesmen as to how they should be
received. The rank and file Of Brit
ish workers, however, were all out in
their demand for cooperation with
Russia in every way that would
stiffen its resistance to German at
tack, and al suggestions that Rus
sian workers, in fact. were govern
ment slaves, without any real voice
in determining conditions of en-
ployment, quickly were stifled. The
Russian unionists were accepted by
their British counterpart as blood
brothers.
No Popular Demand Here.
In the United States no compare
bic popular demand for increased
aid to Russia so far has developed
and Communist" continues to be
an approbrious epithet. The AFL
long has been endeavorins to place
the Communist brand on the CIO.
Messrs. Murray and Lewis have
been tossing 1t each at the other.
The arch antagonist Of the Team
sters' Union on the Pacific Coast Is
Harry Bridges union Of transport
and warehouse workers. Mr.. Tobin
long has been calling Mr.. Bridges a
Communist and just recently the
Roosevelt administration has sub
stantiated this charge In . deporta-
ton order signed by Attorney Gen.
eral Biddle.
This situation reaches down into
almost every American union local
in that the controlling majorities
are plagued by left-wing elements
which they describe - Communist.
Further, there Is an impression
among the more conservative union
leaders that any taint OF Commun-
ism, attaching to their organizations,
tends to turn American public opin-
ion generally against them.
1t is for these reasons that the
Russian issue, as precipitated by the
Citrtne mission, carries 80 much
American intraunion political dyna-
mite. On the assumption that both
the British and American govern
ments are bound to do everything
they can to promote labor solidarity
In anti-Axis nations, including Rus
sia, American Communists are sure
to seize on this issue and ballyhoo it
for all they are worth.
And Just Is certainly, the more In
ternationAl labor solidarity is linked
up with Communist activity In
American labor circles, the more
orthodox union leaders In this coun'
try will set themselves against the
whole proposition.

BY GOULD LINCOLN.

Presidential politics Is playing
q major role In the selection Of
gubernatorial candidates In New
York, both on the Republican and
Democratic sides Of the fence.
This is not entirely strange In the
Empire State, which has pro-
duced many presidential candi-
dates in the past-and a few
Presidents. The prize at stake is
control Of the delegations to the
Republican and Democratic Ma
tional Conventions in 1914.
The New Dealers, Of whom the
President is the chief, do not
wish Jim" Farley, the present
Democratic State chairman, and
his organization to dominate the
big delegation which New York
will send to the party's national
convention two years hence. They
want to control it themselves, and
the best way to do that, they fig-
ure, is to knock Mr.. Farley of in
the campaign this year and nonai-
nate and eject q Governor Of their
own choosing.
On the Republican side, the
supporters Of Wendell L. Willkie,
who want him for the COP presi-
Dental nominee in 1914, and the
opponents of Thomas E. Dewey
they are largely the same per-
sons-are trying to eliminate Mr..
Dewey and get control Of the
COP State organization. Like the
Democrats, they figure the best
way to accomplish this end is to
prevent the nomination and elec-
ton Of Mr.. Dewey as Governor.
Here again, the question OF
presidential politics IS given pre-
cedence over the mere election
Of a Governor of New York. The
Willkie- -ites, including Mr.. Willkie
himself, are not helping the stu
alton 80 far as Republican victory
in New York is concerned by
throwing bricks at Mr.. Dewey,
particularly If Mr.. Dewey is to be
nominated. It is doubtful II Mr..
Willkie Is helping himself, either.
Willkie Fights Isolationism.
In justice to NJ. Willkie, it
must be said that he makes no
claim to being = candidate for
the presidential or any other
nomination. He says that his
sole purpose is to bring about the
election by the Republicans Of
men who are strongly opposed to
having the COP continue or re-
turn to the isolationist fold.
He has made it clear he does
not consider Mr.. Dewey eligible
for Governor on those grounds,
although he has avoided the
use Of Mr.. Dewey's name In
making his public statements.
Whether Mr.. Willkie intends to
be = presidential candidate in
1914 or not, 1t seems pretty clear
that he Is not helping the Re-
publican cause by the attitude
he Is now assuming. 1t is quite
evident that he has no candi-
date who could win the nomina-
tion over Mr.. Dewey In the COM
ing New York Republican State
Convention and 1t looks very
much as though there is no can
didate who would run as strongly
In New York A would tha former

suspend the further movement Of
Japanese from the State on the
ground that they were needed to
prevent losses of critical foods
threatened because Of lack Of ex-
perienced help.
Gen. De Witt replied that such .
move would require an entire change
of the program adopted as q military
necessity, Gov. Olson reported, add
ing:

eral Government whether there will

Rommel'S superiority IN Ynecha-
nized units probably prevented
him from doing 50.
1t Is uncertain whether and
how great reinforcements are
reaching the Axis forces from
italy and Greece. The Allied
air force Is pounding the Nazi
ports OF entry on the Libyan and
Egyptian Coast, but this does not
mean transports are not reaching
Marshal Romndel.
The next two weeks will con-
tinue to be critical, with future
operations depending on how
well the Nazi high command can
readjust itself to take advantage
Of Marshal Rommel's successes
and how many reinforcements 1t
can send to exploit . situation
which has developed beyond Its

an article by Daniel J. Tobin. gen.
eral president Of the Teamsters'
Union, AFL, and close friend Of
President Roosevelt, in the June
issue Of his official organ, the In
ternational Teamster. Mr.. Tobin
said:
THE AFL has refused to recognize
the Russian labor movement as 4
free labor movement, claiming that
the government Of Russia controlled
and appointed the trade union lead
ers and laid down the rules for them
to work under.
"The C1o went out 100 per cent
to meet the Russian labor move
ment and the British trade union
movement and practically recog-
nised them both on equal terms"
What actually happened, as now
disclosed, is that the AFL, which
was first approached by Sir Walter,
was not entirely unfriendly to his
proposal, but advanced two condi-
tions. First, it demanded that the
AFL alone be recognized as spokes-
man for American labor. Secondly,
it refused to confer directly with the
Russian unions, stipulating that its
participation was to be through the
agency OF the British unions.
Murray Steals the Show.
While this negotiation still was
going on, Philip Murray. president
Of the C1O, getting wind Of 1t,
stepped in to steal the shov. First
the United steelworkers, C1O. and
then the National Executive Board
Of the CIO adopted resolutions.
Pointing out that united action a.
ready has been achieved by the Brit
ish and Soviet trade unions" these
organizations declared for "closer
unity Of action between the or.
ganized workers Of America, includ-
ing the AFL and railroad brother
hoods, and the trade unions Of the
United Nations, including the Latin
American nations, to the end thai

be the basis for winning the wal
against the Axis"
