RECALL OF SOVIET
ENVOY STIRS FEAR
OF CRACK IN ALLIES
Continued From Page One)

mort a return to Czechoslovakia o1
Teschen annexed by Poland after
Munich, it ws> reported.
Benes' trip to Moscow had been
DELAYED because the Polish gov
ernment objects to the treaty
which he is going to sign, and the
British government has adopted
the attitude that Benes should do
nothing now affecting frontier
problems.
Questions are to be submitted to
the House of Commons when 1t re-
assemblies regarding reports tina
Whitehall sought to stop Benes
trip because of Poland's anxiety.
The separate peace idea recelr-
ed scant acceptance, not only be-
cause the British-Soviet treaty
bars such a step, but also be-
cause Stain presumably is con-
vinced that someone must smash
Hitler if the Soviet is to exist. He
presumably believes that if Rus
sia withdrew from the war and
western powers failed to carry
through the job of beating Hitler.
the Red army again would have
to take up the task without allies.
And if the democracies won in the
face of a Russian withdrawal, he
ould have forfeited all chance
II friendship and cooperation with
them.
Some such idea seemed to be
the German reaction. A Berlin
broadcast, while gloating that "the
latent row in the Allied camp
thus again has become acute,
soberly declared this domestic
row makes neither Roosevelt
! Churchill nor Stain any less hos
tile toward national socialism ano
they are now, as before, agreed
that it must be fought to the end.
The Berlin radio summed it uI
thus: "Stalin does not want prom.
ises but action
The Reuters correspondent ir
| MOSCOW also reported that the
diplomatic shifts imply nc
change whatever in the policy o.
the Soviet union or its relations
with it's western allies
One obvious Interpretation was
that the Quebec conference OF
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill has not brought
forth program promising full
scale invasion of western Europe
before the snow flies.
The reported visit by British for
eign secretary Anthony Eden to
Moscow Immediately assumes
great added importance and rails
es the obvious point that an Ameri-
can of equal rank might accompa-
ny him to the Soviet capital.

Weaver received the medal at
the hands of Lieut.. Gen. George
C. Kenney, commanding general
of the F'ift hair Force.
| That was the second Silver Star
this native Oklahoman had won.
Back in April he was awarded the
Distinguished Flying Cross, tribute
to his daring on many long-range
bombing missions.
Weaver is bound to be Al on
the pest list that the yellow trait
tors keep.
But he is also Al on General
Kenney's list. For that great mill
tary leader wrote Mrs. Weaver a
letter explaining his appreciation
of her husbands courage. The
message was presented to her by
Major Daniel E. Earhart, execu-
tive officer at Bluethenthal air
base.
Recently" it read, 'your hus-
band was decorated with the Air
Medal. 1t was an award made in
recognition Of courageous service
to his combat organization, his
fellow American airmen, his coun-
try, his home. and to you.
'rHe was cited for meritorious
achievement while participating in
aerial flights in the Southwest Pa
cific area from November 16, 1912,
to May 16, 1943.
HE took part in more than one
hundred hours of long-range bomb
ing missions during which hostile
contact was probable and expect
ed. These operations included at
tacks against enemy installations,
shipping, and supply bases, and
aided considerably in the recent
successes in this theatre.
"Almost every hour of every day
your husband, and the husbands of
other American women, are doing
Just such things as that here in
the Southwest Pacific.
Theirs is a very real and very
tangible contribution to victory and
to peace.
'I would like to tell you how
genuinely proud I am to have men
such as your husband in my COM
mand, and how gratified I am to
know that young Americans with
such courage and resourcefulness
are fighting our country's battle
against the aggressor nations.
"You, Mrs. Weaver, have every
reason to share that pride and
qualification"
Sgt Weaver left Oklahoma for
the Army after graduation from
high school. He served in Hawaii
and then returned to civilian life.
When war threatened, he joined up
again and was assigned to Camp
Davis, where he met the Whining
ton girl whom he married, January
II. 1912. Nine days later he was
shipped overseas to Australia.
There he traded his coast artillery
Job for that of gunner on one of
the big Liberators.
Mrs. Weaver, who lives at Win
ter Park, stays busy at a local
shoe store. She will be glad to
look up from the shoebox labels
one day to study the medals on her
distinguished husbands chest.

NEW LEND LEASE

to the present meeting here is that
Washington had known for several
weeks that he would not return
there. It seemed there might be a
question as to why Moscow finally
made the announcement at this
time, but officials presumably
found no significance in the timing
either. On the other hand, there
was no tendency to speculate on
the positive purpose which the Rus
slams had in making the change.
Secretary Of War Stimson and
T. v. Soong, China's astute foreign
minister, joined the Quebec war
council today as belated military
and political developments abroad
promised to keep the Allied high
command strategists working full
speed up to the last minute OF the
last session Tuesday.
Neither the American cabinet Of
ficer nor the Chinese official
would comment on their purposes
here, but it was assumed they
both would confer at length with
President Roosevelt and Prime
Minister Churchill. Prime Min
lister Mackenzie King of Canada
met Soong at the airport
Two great questions hung over
the closing days of the historic
conference in this ancient city on
the bluffs Of the ST. Lawrence:
l. Was Premier Joseph Stain OF
Russia trying to high-pressure the
immediate opening OF a second
front in Europe by relieving Max
i'm Litvinoff of his duties as am
bassador to Washington at time
when the meeting here is in pro-
gress?
2 Has there been a last-minute
shift of emphasis to the Pacific IN
order to take advantage Of Japan's
weakened position as illustrated by
her surrender of Kiska island and
retreat in New Guinea without put
ting up a suicidal struggle?
From the Citadel, where the
President and Prime Minister are
staying. and from the nearby Cha
teau Frontenac, where Secretary OF
State Cordell Hull and British For
eign Minister Anthony Eden are
housed. came not word of official
reaction to the Moscow announce
ment that Litvinoff was out as am
bassador Hull visited the Citadel
about midday.
Unofficial speculation covered
two main possibilities: First, that
Stain might be trying to express
more forcefully his displeasure
over the lack of an invasion OF
western Europe; second, and COM
pletely contrary to this, was the
possibility that Stain might have
pulled Litvinoff out of Washington !
to have him prepare for an Allied /
war conference in which Russia
would join.
Litvinoff was identified with the
League OF Nations in the years be-
tween the wars and is a recognized
exponent of the idea Of friendly col
laboration among nations. He
would, therefore, be logical
choice for Stain to make in prep
aration for an Anglo-American-
Russian meeting.
Whatever is brewing, the Russian
action announced in Moscow last
night was the handspring of most
conversations in Quebec today, de-
spite the fact that it was obvious
President Roosevelt, Mr.. Churchill
and the other conferees had known
of Russia's action for weeks prior
to its disclosure. The action came,
therefore, as no shock to the Presi-
dent and Prime Minister, and
whatever significance it may have
as a gesture of protest must lie in
its timing only.
