RUSSIA:
Tangle in Poland

Russian armies forged deeper into
pre-war Poland in flaming action on
the eastern front, overrunning terri
tory the Reds claimed as their own,
but the Polish government-in-exile
insisted must remain part of the
country.
AS the Russ surged forward into
pre-war Poland, Gen. Nicholas Va
tutin threw out spearhead to the
southwest, aiming toward the en-
trapment of 100000 Nazis from the
rear in the big Dnieper river bend.
The Reds entered pre-war Poland
at time of heightening tension over
their claims that the White Russian
and Ukrainian provinces of the old
state were racially related to Rus
STA. Repeatedly headed for Washing
ton, D. c., to seek U. S. support for
the Polish government in exile's case

mier Stanislaw Mikolajzyk.

AGRICULTURE:
Hogs Pour In

Shipment of $500 hogs within a
3-day span recently in comparison
with 278, 400 for the same period a
year ago, reflected crowded condi-
tions in IL leading middlewestern
markets, with only choice 200 to
300 pound pigs attracting $13.75 per
hundredweight.
Many hogs were left unsold as
daily trading closed, and fearful that
animals might contract pneumonia
with snow and colder weather, some
packers urged farmers to curtail
shipments, while embargoes were
imposed at other centers.
Tight labor conditions restricted
packers capacities, and in Chicago,
at least 200 soldiers from the labor
pool of a nearby camp were sent
into the packing houses to help out.

The Change in
Inuasiora Plans

It is perilous thing these days
to write more than an hour in adj
vance of the invasion if one uses
the future tense. The majority of
opinion ''as write" Chats the saw
ing line) believes that the inva-
sion won't get under way until late
spring although one report through
Sweden said the Germans were ex-
pecting it between Christmas and
New Years.
But from the time that General
Eisenhower was named as COM
mander and the other changes in
command were named, it appeared
that the shape of the whole Allied
plans for the assault on fortress
Europa began to change rapidly.
The speed with which the Russian
armies were moving toward the
German frontiers set new forces
in motion.
Suddenly the Mediterranean be-
came less important in the picture
as Washington saw it. 1t was point
ed out that the British had larger
force of men, ships and supplies in
that theater than the Americans.
What had seemed the most impor-
tant thing in Europe to America
ever since our troops landed in
North Africa suddenly grew less inn
portant. The Middle East, which
had looked as if it were the gather
ing point of a new blow through the
Balkans, perhaps with the help of
Turkey, shrank on the horizon. The
shifting of British commanders
seemed to make this clear.
And then there were calls for
greater speed on the part of the
Allies, It seemed as if a fear that
Russia might get to Berlin first was
stirring new activity and there were
stories that Spain was not as anxious
for Allied friendship as she was to
keep the "Bolshevists" from getting
nearer her borders, that if she must
make new enemies, at least it was
better to have the Allies against her
than to have Russia get too near
her.
But even without these rumors, it
grew clearer and clearer that the job
ahead was colossal. Hopes that Ger
many could be brought down by
bombing alone were given up. 1t
really seemed as if her factories
and indeed her cities had move.
underground.

EUROPE:
Plaster Defenses

Flying over an 8O0-mile front, Al
lied bombers raped hard at Ger
man defenses and industries in west
ern Europe preparatory to the her
aided invasion.
But in Italy, bad weather restrict
ed Allied progress over the noun
famous terrain, and equally bitter
resistance in the future doomed with
the discovery that the Germans
were constructing another "Siegfried
line" of concrete and steel several
miles in depth, and just to the north
of their present positions.
Continuing the softening up proc
ess of western Europe, swarms of
U. S. and British bombers and fight
ers dashed at German factories, the
important naval base of Kiel, air
fields strung over northern, and the
channel coast, along which the Nazis
repeatedly have erected rocket guns.

Pressure Groups Point Way
To Mild FasCism in u. 5.
Government by Majority Rule Ceases to Exist
When Various Interests Begin Trading
Votes for Concessions.
By BAUKHAGE
Ne,us analyst and Commentator.

Just what all this was getting at,
I understood a little better when I
read an article by Freda Kirchway
in the Nation on the mood in Britain.
Miss Kirchway had interviewed a
number of people in England and
she says that "big business forces
in England have recognized more
clearly than these forces in Amer
lea the need for government con-
troll" They are ready, she says,
to accept the government as part
ner to save themselves from iquida-
ton.
Some of the people interviewed by
Miss Kirchway gave her the impress
sion that they saw in the set-up
ahead ga successful, polite form Of
semi-fascism, which will prove ac-
ceptable to the key people of these
groups. She doesn't agree with this
herself and she believes British la
Dor will be ready to fight it at the
second election after peace but she
believes these people believe it.
How much of similar feeling ex-
lists in the United States, I do not
know, but, quite independent of Eng
land, many people are struggling
their shoulders and saying it is a
possibility here.
One thing may point in that direc-
ton. That is the way the various
pressure groups are now operating
in congress. Already many trades
have been made even to the point
of those "unholy alliances" Gall ALI
ances except those in which we be-
long are unholy, of course> which it
was charged in the senate had been
formed between southern Democrats
and some northern Republicans.
AS soon as powerful pressure
groups can agree among themselves
to trade concessions for votes, gov
eminent by majority rule ceases
and the moment you begin to break
down the party lines, you are in
danger of having one party which
in the end is no party.
can we'll understand how when
anyone contemplates the problems
of our domestic affairs in the post
war period, it is hard to keep ones
mind on the war.
