Allies Face Heavy Blows
Operations in Eastern Europe and Middle Eost
Expected to Determine Course of War

Allies can get hurt. For instance,
we are winning the battle Of pro-
duction, but at the moment are
having a hard struggle in the
battle of transportation, because
of the U-boat depredations. War
material which ought to be In
Russia or other theaters Is de-
layed because of lack Of ships.
And we appear to be on the
verge of a great Nazi submarine
offensive which may make any
thing thus far seem like kinder
garten stuff.
While we are looking at the
dark side, let's take a good look.
It's possible Hitler may lash out
at Sweden, and If he does he may
be expected to take that country
over. Miiitarily he Is set for this
adventure, the purpose of which
would be Cd to put him up
against his Finnish ally and thus
improve his strategic position,
and 90 to obtain the food and
other supplies in Sweden.
Another Possibility.
Another possibility-and am
merely naming possibilities and
not making predictions-is that
the Japs may attack Siberia and
thus weaken the Russians by
making them fight on two fronts
at once. Certainly we may ex-
pect more bad news from the
Orient, for Gen. Macarthur can't
pull rabbits out of a hat and we
needn't expect any grand often
sive in the near future.
Take Burma. The advancing
Japs are threatening the great
oil field from which China draws
its supplies. Petroleum is the Nip
ponese objective, and If they are
successful, it will be a terrible
blow to Chinese arms. War can
not be waged without oil, and
China has been depending on this
one oil field.
Then there are the threats to
Australia, to India, to the Allied
supply lines In the Indian Ocean,
to Libya and the Suez Canal. So
we might go on until we had
list as long as my arm, but we
shall have achieved our object
If we have made it clear that we
are not out of the woods by long
shot.
AS Prime Minister Churchill
said the other day, "it would be
foolish for us not to be prepared
for further heavy blows" How
ever, ne did add that the Allies
can't lose this war except through
their own falkland We have
every reason to believe that 70 be
true.

White House Reported
Seeking Compromise
On Work Week Row
Labor Held Being Urged
To Accept "A, AZ Hours
With Regular Pay
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The administration was reported
authoritatively today to be sounding
out labor leaders on the possibility
Of obtaining a voluntary agreement
for a A or 48 hour work week at
regular pay in war industries.
Lieutenants of President Roose-
welt, including Vice President Wal
lace, were said to be taking an ac-
tive part in efforts to obtain some
kind Of pact between workers and
management which would quiet the
controversy which has arisen over
the 40-nour week and prevent the
possible enactment by Congress of
restrictive labor legislation.
Extra Pay to Government.
There has been some discussion in
administration circles of a COM
promise calling for overtime pay
after A hours, but opposition to
such a scheme was said to have
arisen on the grounds that would
be a halfway measure unlikely to
be accepted by Congress.
1t was understood, however, that
any agreement which might be
reached would have to satisfy labor
that the extra pay 1t would be giving
up would go to the Government,
rather than into the tills of war
contractors.
Barkley Favors Voluntary Action.
Although he refused comment on
these reports, Senate Majority
Leader Barkley made it plain to
reporters he hoped voluntary action
could be taken before the Senate
is called on April 20 to debate a
motion to take up bill by Senator
Connally, Democrat, of Texas, per-
mitting the Government to take
over strike bound war firms and
freezing working conditions in such
plants.
Another high-ranking Senator,
who asked to remain anonymous,
said an informal canvass had con-
vinced him that proponents had
sufficient strength to attach to the
Connally bill an amendment length
ening the regular work week in war
industries to 48 hours and stipulat-
ing that overtime should be paid
only after that period.
If such an amendment were linked
with a provision limiting war profits,
this Senator said he had no doubt
that it would carry by a substantial
margin.

will be the ever memorable demon
stration of the horror in panic con-
fusion of a civil population. They
have been biting the hand which
guards them in the peace, order ano
nroeress which they owe to British
guidance.
For, to my mind, the greatest
achievement of British colonial rule
is in India. 1t has been a service to
all mankind and the future OF civil
ization unless the Indians proceed
to destroy 1t.
Illuminating Britain's problem IN
India here are some facts about
India with which many people are
unfamiliar, and which dreamers re-
fuse to accept, even though it is be-
fore their eyes in certified black and
white.
In that congestion Of humanity In
the Indian peninsula there are 4S
races speaking more than 200 Ian
guages, and 2,400 castles and tribes
In inherited jealousies and conflict.
There are 241, 900, 900 Hindus and
10000 900 Moslems.
45,0OO,O00 "Untouchables."
Then there are the $4,000 900 of
the so-called depressed classes.
These are the "untouchables." II
the shadow of an untouchable Is
thrown across the food Of many
Indians they still refuse to eat 1t
because 1t Is tainted.
Next we have the Sikhs, the tall
fighting men with the rolled boards,
who have a religion Of their own
among the many tribal religions.
Religious intolerance is so deep set
that tolerance is Of very slow
growth.
Where once the population was
kept down by famine, the British by
irrigation and organization have
ended it. They have built high
ways, railroads and power plants
bringing India into the modern
world. Their administration is the
cement which held the sections and
factions together.
They have established universities
and schools in q land which is freed
from the old practices Of widow
burning and child sacrifice. They
have worked reforms in the inordi-
nate interest charges Of the ustIrer
class, who preyed upon the simple
minded.
PROCESS Is Slow.
It Is fair to say that they have
shown the Indians the light along
the pathway of progress. But prog
ress has been slow under all the
handicaps for practical forward.

really a good deal for India that the
percentage of literacy has been dou.

When they do 1t means hot ques-
tions in the British House Of Com
mons.
Out of $500 high officials and
commissioners only $50 are British.
The subordinates are native. India
has a debt Of only 1850, 900 900,
which looks small to us. The total
British investment in India is about
So, 600, 900 900, considerably less than
in South America. The Birla broth
ers, who are Indian, have made for
tunes comparable with our own
great fortunes.
Have Measure Of Rule.
Property and rights have their
protection in the Nationalist Con-
gress with a larger measure OF rule
than most Of us realize. The Hindus
insist that control should be by a
majority through the counting OF
heads.
But the 10000, 900 Moslems do not
take that view, nor do the sikhs or
other minorities, or the untouch-
ables, when the others still have
tendency to think that an untouch-
able Is not entitled to any rights
at all.
Leave India to herself, and it Is
not unlikely that the Moslems. sons
Of Allah Of the sword and crescent,
would become masters Of all by force.
Since the establishment of the
congress the old animosities have
flared up passionately. Indian lead
ers, who did not have to go abroad
to learn politics. are in the sap
peaser's" part. II they show oppo-
sition to Britain, they will be in
better position If Britain loses and
Japan wins.
Only 10000 British Regulars.
AS for military defense, there are
only 10000 British regular troops on
station in India, with 10000 Brit
ish Indian native troops. An Indian
army of 900, 900 Is partially trained
and equipped.
And the Japanese are menacing
India. In Burma, south of Man
dalay, the British are fighting, the
Chinese with their Burma Road or
supply cut off, are fighting in diff
ficult position, under our 1t. Gen.
Joseph Stilwell-fighting to save In
dia-and partly from herself.
II the Japanese occupy India
members Of the Indian Congress and
native editors will not be able to
speak their minds in criticism of the
new regime. The house of the Mitsui
will be convinced they know best
how to look after the Birla brothers
fortune.
Logically the Indians should sink
all differences and fight with sticks
and stones and show they can take
it to the limit for their own saliva
ton. If they would they could make
the job too big for Japan to under
take in Indian distances and the dis
tance from her home base.
1t is pity that convincing word
cannot reach the Indian masses that
Britain, Russia and the United
States have the power to win and
will win this war. And we shall beat
Japan by striking at her heart, fore
ing her to yield her conquests. Will
India meanwhile have been in the
throes of civil war and on the way
back to famines and misery? Will
she have to call on the United States
and Greart Britain to take hand in

BY the Associated Press.

MELBOURNE, April 4.-Voicirg
confidence in the growing strength
Of Australias defenses, bolstered by
men and equipment fronsthe United
States. 1t. Gov. Hubertus j. Van
Nook of the Netherlands Indies de-
clared today that any attempt to
invade this continent would be very
risky" for the Japanese.
DR.. Van Nook, who sought refuge
here when the japanese overran
Java, said in an interview that an
all-out assault on Australia would
involve vast transportation problems
and extended lines Of communica-
tion.
IT do not think the Japanese will
attempt a full occupation of Aus
tralia," declared DR.. Van Nook, ex-
pressing belief that Burma was the
real danger spot" In the Pacific
war theater.
United States and Australian
troops "are being welded together
into one great army which will
adopt an offensive, not defensive,
policy that will sweep to the sea
an enemy daring to set foot on
Australian SOIL" Army Minister
Francis M. Forde declared today
after a visit to American encamp-
ments.
Might "Neutralize" Australia.
DR.. Van Nook said he thought 1t
likely that the Japanese would try
merely to "neutralize Australia as
a base" for potential offensive op-
erations by the United Nations
forces.
Their progress southwark has
been slowed down lately" DR.. Van
Nook declared. Perhaps they never
were prepared to advance farther in
this direction. Moreover, reinforce
ments are arriving here more
quickly"
DR.. Van Mooks views on the pos
sibility Of an invasion attempt were
not shared in all quarters, despite
lull in Japanese activity. Some
observers interpreted the lull as
merely the prelude to a major as
sault, while others expressed belief
that the Japanese had overreached
themselves and been compelled to
slow down.
May Be Hampered by Winds.
There was general agreement,
however, that continued heavy at
tacks on. japanese bases nearest
Australia by United Nations bomb
ers had affected the enemy's ability
to continue his earlier offensive
policy.
1t was believed the japanese also
might be experiencing difficulty in
operating from their air base at
Rabaul, New Britain, because of the
winds which at this season of the
year usually spread vast clouds of
corrosive dust from Matupi Volcano
over the surrounding countryside.
Allied reconnaissance planes,
meanwhile, maintained ceaseless
vigil against surprise attack. Mill
tary experts said these patrols
should give Australia three or four
days warning of an impending in
vasion attempt from any base under
japanese control-except, perhaps,
Timor, because of its nearness.
