held stubbornly to a policy of con-
tinued recognition on the ground
that there were worse possibilities
for France than Laval. News from
Paris bears them out. Lavars posi-
ton is shaky, and his regime may
be succeeded by something 50 much
worse that he shines by comparison.
Laval Is in the position OF the
man who sold his soul to the devil,
but who at the last moment hesi-
tates to deliver. Laval, the oppor-
tunist, saw himself as the leading
Nazi collaborationist but did not
expect to be gobbled up along with
the remains Of France.
Clinging to his old conception Of
q Latin bloc" In Europe with
France as its center. he thought he
had sold the Na1 Ambassador, Otto
Abetz, on his plan. Laval saw
Italy, France, Portugal and Spain
united In an economic and political
bloc under Na1 tutelage.
II Duce, who at one time called
Laval his friend because he con-
sented to the grab of Ethiopia, was
an immediate and violent dissenter
to Laval's plan. Mussolini inti-
mated that pending his reconquest
Of his African empire he would like
sop to the italian people in the
shape of Corsica or Nice-or both.
Lavals pan-Latin idea was cold
shouldered by the Nazis, but he was
asked to hand over the French feet
and armed forces without delay.

by the advanced political parties
because Of his dogged determina-
ton to see this fight for the
British Empire successfully con-
cluded.
Despite his many brilliant
qualities, Of which oratorical
power il foremost, Mr.. Churchill
IL . bsd-luck man. In the two
years he has held tho reins
nothing has gone right. except
the defense OF Britain herself.
Under his administration the
British Empire has been shaken
to its foundations; Singapore has
been lost, the Japs are threat
ening India after oonquering
Burma and Ceylon Is hanging by
Q thread.
Bungling in Far East Cited.
While open criticism Is rela-
lively mild, feeling increases
among Mr.. Churchill's political
opponents and many Of his fol-
lowers that there has been some
terrific bungling In the Far East
and that the head Of the govern
ment necessarily is responsible.
Criticism always increases with
failure, and Mr.. Churchill's op-
ponents lay at his door the fall
ure Of negotiations with India.
Tho situation In that country is
complex and In normal times 1t
would be difncult to single out
an individual for responsibility.
However, it was Mr.. Churchill
himself and not Sir Stafford
whose prestige was dwarfed by
the failure of the New Delhi ne
gotiations.
Mr.. Churchill's superoptimism
has not done much to help his
position with Parliament and the
British people. His statement,
when the Germans were making
their way into Norway, that q
momentous battle was being
fought in tho Skaggerak tempo

Army, Is being dangled gefore La
vals eyes as his successor should
the Premier persist in his delaying
tactics. Doriot. who faded from
violent red to pale pink and eventu-
ally to dirty brown. is now ready to
take over in the name of the Nazis.
Laval in comparison to Doriot is
an honest man. The Premier has
always made his money by pulling
political strings. When he was
Minister Of Public Works, a depart
ment which controlled the rail-
ways, he acquired a newspaper, lie
Moniteur, Of Clermont- -Ferrand.
The Moniteur owned a commercial
printing plant. and soon all the
railroads Of France were having
their printing done In Clermont-
Ferrand. The contract ran into
millions Of francs . year.
Laval has never been accused,
however, Of accepting outright
bribes. His runner-up, Doriot, took
money from Moscow for his help
In communizing France. After his
split with Moscow he took money
from Mussolini's agents, and he
has now become one Of the tenta-
cles Of the NaN octopus which is
slowly strangling France.

The foregoing doctrines are not
accompanied by an avowal OF an
alternate philosophy, but with the
prediction that liberalism must lose

followers If 1t fails to defend the

Despite the invisible" political
support which Prime Minister
Churchill Is receiving from the
United States and the over
whelming vote Of the Labor party
for continued collaboration with
the Conservatives, his position is
becoming more difficult each day.
The handful Of Liberals, the
bull: Of the Laborites and many
progressive Conservatives who
hitherto have gone along with
him are growing restless and
some Of them are considering a
change, although the Labor party
vote yesterday seems to have
settled the question for labor for
the present.
Sir Stafford Cripps Is coming
into greater prominence as the
possible next Prime Minister, de.
spite his failure in India.

rarily aleviated BritainS pain.
But when no further announce
ment came from the Admiralty
and 1t was obvious that such
battle never occurred, the resent
ment Of the British people was
great. Subsequent developments
were 50 rapid and tragic that the
Skaggerak incident was over
looked.
Determination Not Enough.
When in May, 1910. Mr..
Churchill became Prime Minister
the people of Britain believed he
was the best man for the burden
some task. Moreover he was per-
soma gratissima in Washington
and still Is.
Whatever Mr.. Churchills short
comings may have been. the
British people and most Of their
sympathizers across the Atlantic
were convinced that he did not
20 into action with an umbrella
and that he would not engage
In undercover conversations with
the enemy.
But mere determination to
fight the war to a successful end
no longer is any justification for
keeping in Office a man who has
been unable to stem the tide of
defeat. British parliamentarians,
backed by their constituents. have
been quietly looking around for
a successor to "our Winnie" Ac-
cording to private reports from
London. they believe they have
found the man In the person Of
the Laborite, Sir Stafford Cripps.
A. z. F.s Delayed Crisis.
His political stature, it is ad-
mitted, cannot be compared with
that Of Mr.. Churchill. But his
friends and followers, who wish
to see him at the head Of the
British government, believe he
will grow with the needs Of the
war. Many precedents are cited
to that effect. Sir Stafford, like
William Pitt. famous British
Premier at the time Of the Napo-
leonic wars. is the son of

BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING
ELIOT.
The development Of the fighting
In South Russia so far has gone
very much along the classic lines
Of accepted strategical principle.
As suggested In my article Of May
IS. the Germans launched a heavy
counterattack against the Russian
left, striking between the left flank
Of Marshal Semeon Timoshenko's
main attack on Kharkov and the
Russian flanking column at Lozo-
vaya. This was followed by . fur
ther German hanking movement
from the southeast In the Izyum-
Barvenkova sector.
The effect Of this latter thrust II
successful, would have been to cut
on the Russian flanking column
and even completely to encircle it,
II the Germans made SUFFICIENT
progress.
1t is from these circumstances
that the German claim Of having
surrounded large Russian forces "in
a steel ring" appears to have arisen.
However, this claim seems to be pre-
mature as far as any large number
Of Russian troops is concerned,
though, 1t Is possible that some ad-
vance element may have been en-
veloped.
The Russians say that both Of the
German flanking thrlsts have been
brought to q halt and, further. that
the main Russian advance on Khar-
kov. after being stopped for . time
by German pressure, has resumed its
forward movement.
All Of this, II true, suggests that
the Russians have the greater
weight Of reserves available in this
sector. and II this Is so we shall
soon have evidence Of the fact In
further Russian gains.
Na1is Discounting Kharkov.
It Is noteworthy that the German
radio is beginning to talk Of Kharkov
as q place of no particular strategic
importance and is generally playing
down the operations In this area.
which . few days ago were being
trumpeted to the world as q great
German victory.
As . matter Of fact, Kharkov itself
Is an extremely important commu-
nication center, the loss Of which
would render any German offensive
tn south Russia extremely difncult.
but 1t Is likewise true that an even
greater strategic gain for the Rus.
slams would be signalized by an ad-
vance south OF Kharkov to Dnie-
propetrovsk and Zaporzhe.
So far there is no certainty that
this can be achieved, but the Ger
man counter-attacks may be either
desperate attempts to cover an
eventual withdrawal, or a real threat
to the left flank Of the Russian
armies. Which of these propositions

resentatives OF Soviet Russia.
Indeed. there Is likelihood. it is
said, that some Of the party OF
American congressional leaders
would be invited to go from Lon
don to Moscow, 50 as to get q
still wider picture Of the battle
front and the war problems.
Must Plan for Peace.
There are two distinct prob
lens, though closely related. The
first Is the winning Of the war.
The, second is the making Of an
enduring peace. 1t is as essential
to deal with the second as 1t =
with the first-unless America is
willing to expect another major
conflict within Q score Of years,
q generation, after the conclusion
OF this war. 1t Is not enough to
say-as some do-'Let's win the
war first and let the peace be
taken care Of afterwards" It
Is like saying the peace will take
care Of itself.
Congress Is In duty bound to
interest itself IN the conduct Of
the war. It can work more efi-
ciently If its own leaders are
familiar, for example, with what
is being done with the lease-lend
money sent to our Allies; if they
are familiar with the operation
OF war production plants abroad,
and with the very defense which
the British. for example, are
making against AFRAID attacks
on their country. and with the
manner In which the British
coasts and shipping are protected
against NaA submarine attacks,
There Is much, therefore, to be
said In support Of the proposed
trip Of congressional leaders. The
only suggestion Of opposition
enenates from those who fear
that such . visit might arouse
antagonism on the part Of the
so-called isolationists., In the
light Of what is really contem-
plated, there is no good ground
for such opposition.
Tax Bill Intervenes.
No formal invitation has been
extended to the congressional
leaders When and If it comes,
1t will In all probability bear sig
natures Of the presiding officers
OF both houses Of the British
Parliament, since London Is to be
the host. Tho idea Of q better
understanding among the par
liamentary bodies Of the Allied
nations, through . conference In
London, informal In nature, has
been terminating for months. It
looks now, however, Is though
1t will have to be postponed in
any event until after the new tax
bill has been disposed Of by
Congress.
1t Is expected that II the visit
Is made, the Americans will re-
main abroad for at least three
weeks In order to have time
really to study and discuss the
problems before them. If pos
sible, and the tax bill has been
passed at that time, the first Of
September will be starting time
from these shores.
II the plan goes through, 1t is
expected that the American Con-
gress will be represented by at
least 10 members, five from the
Senate and q similar number
from the House. In no sense
is the projected trip to be q
"junket." 1t will be for the pur-
pose Of education, and for closer
relations among the men who
represent the peoples of their re-
spective nations. This one trip
and conference, however, is not
to be the end Of the move for
better understanding among the
parliamentary bodies Of the AL
lied nations. The plan contem-
plates their keeping In touch
through correspondence and
through other visits.
