preceding the outbreak of the present
war she passed through period of mill
tary weakness. She has now overcome
that weakness and shown us that she
cannot only bear adversely with stole
herolsm, but that she knows how to con-
quer as we'll as any nation in the world
She Is powerful and her friends trust
her to wish to remain strong after VIC
tory is achieved.
The Treaty of Mutual Assistance bv
which my country was glad to renlace
the unilateral British guarantee of 1899
mad been carried out by the entire Polish
nation. Suffering the most cruel perse-
cutlon under the German occupation
and sacrificing daily the blood of her
pest sons, she has all the time main
tanned her implacable resistance: not
one man has been willing to collaborate
with the enemy.
Moreover, it is not question of a
formal alliance concluded In view of the
war. Poland believes that having passed
through the greatest ordeal which could
befaH her, she can count on the support
OF her British ally and of the other
friendly overseas and neighboring powers
IN her endeavors to use this cruel ex-
perlence in the interest of the new
European order.
She possesses the proper qualifications
for such task Of fairly considerable
size and having a substantial bopula-
tlon, Poland is first and foremost inter-
ested in safeguarding against renewed
Teutonic threat not only herself, but
the other states of the same region
which are similarly threatened.
Hence her constant endeavors to COM
bine with them closely on principles of
full equality. Having no inSoluble dis
putes with any OF them, Poland regards
herself as an integrating factor, and
feels that she can contribute to the
smoothing out of difficulties facing some
other countries, She seeks to achieve
her aims by respect for the principles of
democracy and the insuring of social
justice within her realm.
In cooperation with our Czech neigh
bors, the Polish government of Gen
SikCrski laid the foundations for a con-
federation of the two states by their
declarations Of November IL, 1910, and
January 10, 1912. Both governments
have heartily welcomed the Greek -Yugo-
slav declaration of January Is, which is
animated by the same creative spirit.
Conscious Of her responsibilities, Po-
land cannot ignore the dangers which,
even after victory is achieved, will con-
tinue to threaten her from Germany.

'Monotony Patrol Guards AIeutions
Navy Men Find Duty 'Msero Without Real Action

ON A UNITED STATES WARSHIP
IN THE ALEUTIANS.-The monotony
patrol is headed for port tonight, with
snow on its decks and not hero in the
fleet.
Port will be a BACKED out windy is
land where no sailor would even want a
shore leave; and the fleet will be there
only few hours before it's resumes its
lonesome trip to frigid nowhere.
The trip began at an Alaskan port
where snow blew across the docks and
men on shore leave spent their time
skating on a frozen lake. 1t was a
routine assignment through waters off,
cially designated as a combat zone. But
half dozen hours away from port the
entire picture changed.
In the middle of an anti-aircraft fir
ing practice, the feet received orders
which made the convoy delay, the war
ships put on full speed. A japanese
fleet, the admiral was informed, was be-
Heved heading east. This feet was to
intercept and destroy it. Just like that.
The size of the enemy fleet was in
doubt. 1t might have bigger ships,
heavier guns. But the orders still speci-
fed, meet and destroy"
So this fleet went out to do it.

spilled its overflow activities. Distin-

For Temporary-T, at Constitution ave-
nue. and Fourteenth street houses the
Board of Economic Warfare, one of the
most picturesque, romantic and contro-
verslal OF Government agencies. Until
short time ago it was also one of the
most secretive, Waging what is known
as 'the war behind the war" it ranked
in hush hush privacy with naval intelli-
gence and the War Departments ca.
But during last month Secretary of Com
merce Jones attacked BEW in testi-
mony before the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee. BY way of de-
fense, the boards chieftains lifted an
edge of the veil and allowed the public
to snatch hasty peep at few of it's
enterprises.
Many months ago. it appears, BEW
was requested by the armed services to
provide an exhaustive survey of natural
resources in Northwest Africa, with a
view to determining the extent to which
the prospective Anglo-American expedi-
tien under Gen. Dwight Eisenhower
would have to rely on supplies from the
United States. 1t was essential that
adequate supplies should be sent, but 1t
was equally essential that no more ship
ping should be used than was absolutely
necessary.

turbing elements exist. In order to as

Europe that the aggreSsor would, when

"Locarno Europe with the great

brought into this work That system
left no room for the participation of the
U. S. S. r. Today the Soviet Union
must in the nature of things play a
front-rank part in the organization of
the United Nations. The states of
Middle Eastern Europe feel similarly
called upon to shoulder their share of
the task. 1t is, of course, unthinkable
that their collaboration, which may as
sumo various forms, could-either by its
pattern or by the spirit animating it

Russia. On the contrary. it will consti-
tute an additional guarantee of peace

1t was empowered to execute War Pro-
ductlon Board directives regarding such
imports, and to issue its own directives
to the Federal departments, establish
ments and agencies concerned. The fued
with Secretary of Commerce Jones
sprang from this provision and another
one authorizing the board to direct the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. to set up
any corporation or corporations needed
to finance the boards operations. With
its subsidiaries, RFC is the Governments S
lending system. It's administration is
vested in the Secretary of Commerce.
The boards jurisdiction over exports
was confirmed by an act of Congress
which was approved last June 30. 1t
broadly empowered the President to pro-
hIbit or curtail the expectation OF ANY
articles, technical data, materials or
supplies" and directed the BEW to per-
form the duties and functions accorded
to the President by the statute.
When Mr.. Wallace accepted the
Craftsmanship of the Economic Defense
Board in July, 1941, he made up his mind
on two points. The first was that he
would have no s1-a-year men in the new
agency. Instead, he put into effect SAL
aries ranging from $500 to $4,000 an
nually. The second was the choice of
Milo Randolph Perkins as executive di-
rector, in charge of day-to-day opera
tions. Mr.. Perkins, who will be 43 years
old January 28, is generally recognized
as one of the most brilliant and dynamic
functionaries developed by the New Deal.
Meteoric Career.
Mr.. Wallace was so determined to have
him that organization was postponed
two months, until September. while Mr..
Perkins was recuperating in a hospital
from serious operation and breakdown
caused by overwork. He is known to his
associates as two men in one" The
first is a hardheaded and successful
business man with feet planted solidly on
the ground. The other is walking social
conscience of demonstrated sincerity.

The noise stopped only when the ap-
proach OF plane or vessel would be
noted. General quarters, which sends
all men to battle stations, interrupts
anything that may be going on, from
sleep to movies. And, a number of times
during these weeks, everyone on board
has had reason to believe that the call
to general quarters meant battle in
the offing.
Once, the alarm was caused by Navy
plane which did not identify itself quick
ly. Once, it was neutral ship cutting
silently through the cold moonlight.
Each time, the crew was ready. Each
time, the admiral admits, he thought
again of the extra hazard any COM
mander faces here, the consciousness
that the loss of ship means automatic
ally the loss of all hands. This water is
so cold that a man can live in it a bare
half hour. In battle, the chances that
he would be rescued so soon are neg
ligible.
Movies Shown Regularly.
Through it all, the ships movie oper-
ated regularly, in the crews quarters
two or three times day, in the ward
room once in the evening. A genius
must have selected those pictures, be-

order and the new is already being
fought. What were its origins? How
did it start? Can it be stopped? These
are not academic questions about some
remote Graustarkian kingdom where
every ones name ends in itch. They are
of immediate concern to us here in
America.
After the conquest of Yugoslavia, Hit
Ter partitioned that unhappy state in

bloodshed and chaos, He had various
! Quislings ready at hand to do his bid
ding. AS Author Adamic explains the
tangle, Hitler made Gen Milan Nedich,

Hungarians were allowed as a reward for

slavia. For Croati, made an "independ-
ent free state" Hitler had a particularly
revolving Quislingite Ante Pavelch, who
had organized the assassination of King
Alexander in 1884
Gen. Mikhailovich with the collapse of
Yugoslavia in April, 194l, had organized
scattered Yugoslav forces into guerrilla
army. Long an ardent anti-NaZi, trained
in guerilla methods, he did an excellent
job, as ranking officer, in pulling together
the random bands of men who still
wanted to fight the Axis. They proved
an effective force, waging all-out battles
with crack Nazi troops, winning fame far
beyond the bleak mountains where this
no-surrender warfare occurred.
Name Calling Begins.
AS early as July of Al, however, they
had clashed with bands of partisans who
rallied after the German attack on
Russia. increasingly the clashes were
between partisan groups and Mikhailo-
vich's forces Name calling began Gen.
Mikhailovich denounced the Partisans as
Communist rabble." The Partisans
replied with the charge that Mikhailo-
vich was "proAxis." This was taken up
by the so-called Free Yugoslavia' radio
station which claims to operate from be-
hind the Partisan lines. According to the
Yugoslav government in exile, the sta
ton is operated from the Caucasus
under the supervision of the Soviets.
1t was taken up, too, by the Com
munist Daily Worker in New York,
which almost every day has some scorn
or contempt to pour on Gen Mikhailo-
vich and his men. 1t is echoed in the
Inter Continent News, mimeographed
service which is fairly faithful re-
f1ection of the Communist line as dis
played in Moscow and New York.
Gen. Mikhailovich himself was deeply
concerned over the increasing frequency
Of the clashes between the two sides
n1ssswere supposedly fighting the Nazis.
He was disturbed, too, at the broadcast
charges that he was 'pro-Axis" Gen.
Mikhailovich appealed to the Yugoslav
government in exile to DO something
about the Partisans.S Apparently he be-
lieved that through negotiations with the
Soviet it would be possible to bring the
Partisans under his direction

Delay in Pacific Offensive Puts
China's Patience to Severe Test
Opening Campaign Against Hitler Ahead of Drive
on Japs; Lack of Larse-Scale Aid From Allies
Seen Demoralizins Chang Kai-shek' Forces
Bp Constantine Broton.

Gen. Chang has reputedly the finest
intelligence service in the world He
forecast the day of the German attack
on Russia in l94l and missed it by only
"a hours. He is now telling his friends
that there is queer game" being played
in Berlin, Toxic and Moscow and unless
we watch out some interesting surprises
may confront us in the near future.
According to the Chinese, Berlin is
now pressing Toxic to end the struggle
on the Asiatic mainland as quickly IS
possible. Germany has no interest IN
seeing China utterly defeated and is
willing to act as the honest broker" be-
tween the two antagonists. The Nazi
diplomats and strategistS point out to
their japanese colleagues that the stren-
uous efforts they are making in China
can be of no real advantage to the gen.
eral cause of the Axis; that so long as the
United States and Great Britain are not
defeated. all the conquests of the Japs
remain ephemeral because the Allies will
turn with extreme violence against Japan
as soon as the European end of the Axis
Is defeated.
Urge Honorable Terms to Chang.
They point out that while the German
nation eventually may come to some
terms with the Allies-should Hitler be
defeated-the racial bitterness against
Japan Is such, particularly in the United
States. that the people of this country
will never rest until Japan is destroyed
and reduced to the same rank of power
as Korea or Manchukuo. Under these
circumstances, says Berlin, why waste
time on China, since compromise with
Gen. Chang or some Of his more power
full generals is possible?
The Nazi diplomats are urging Japan
to grant honorable" terms to the people
they have been fighting and robbing
since 1881 and turn their entire might on
Russia or the United States.
Japan, on the other hand, has not in
the past desired a German victory over
Russia Under the present circum-
stances, however, she begins to fear that
Russia might defeat the Reich.
Relations between Moscow and Toxic
are excellent. Two armies are facing
each other on the Siberian -Manchurian
border, but they are in no hostile mood.
Japan is known to have helped Russia
in the past in many ways, either directly
or by shutting her eyes, which would not
have been the case had she desired an
early defeat of her northern neighbor.
Russian supply ships have been allowed
to carry all kinds of goods from our West
Coast ports to Sakhalin and Vladivostok

various problems such as the question
OF fishing rights In the waters of Sakha-
