pl0FFENDED AT SPEECH BY
 JOSEPH STALIN

SAN NCIS co, Nov. l0- Stalin's speech, in which he branded Japan as an "aggressor nation surprised the offended Japanese people, Domei reported in radio broadcast, recorded by the EGG.
 The broadcast said that Stalin's address had become the central topic of discussion in all Japan, but government circles were re- training from making any com- ment.
 Jap propagandists reiterated the theme that Japan is fighting the war to free the peoples of Greater East Asia from the imperialism of America and Britain"
 Stalin's reference was to "ag- gressive nations" but Domei said that Premier Stalin branded Japan as an aggressor nation"

The w ashingto ion Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Lt. Col. Robert s. Allen now on activ
 service with the Army.)

WASHINGTON Ambassador William Phillips, President Roose- velt's former personal representative in India, wrote not merely one, but two very critical letters to FDR regarding British policy in India, urging Indian independence.
 The first letter, published ex- clusively in this column last July, caused Phillips to be recalled from London, where he was serving as political adviser on the staff of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. The British Government was boiling mad and burned up the cables to Washington.
 At that time, the British Foreign Office asked Phillips whether he still entertained the views regard ing India he had expressed to the President. Phillips replied that he certainly did, but that he hoped another report he had made to the White House would not leak out.
 It is now possible to give the American public the text of Am bassador Phillips other report. In it he proposed that President Roosevelt, Stalin, King George, and Chiang Kai-shek sponsor a joint conference of Indian leaders to settle Indian problems, arrange for independence and get India to play a real part in the war.
 In his previously published re- port, Phillips informed Roosevelt: :: "The present Indian Army is purely mercenary. Gen. Stilwell has ex- pressed his concern over the situa- tion and in particular in regard to the poor morale of the Indian of ficers."
The Daily Alaska empire., 1944-11-10
IMPETUS TO WAR

In this report published below, Phillips pointed finger at Prime Minister Churchill. T should imagine that the Viceroy and Churchill" he said, "are well satis- fled to let the deadlock remain as long as possible"
 It has long been reported that Churchill has flatly refused to discuss Indian political disturb ances which have held back the war in Burma.
 Meanwhile, Phillips said, "The Indians are caught in the new idea which is sweeping over the world, of freedom for oppressed peoples. The Atlantic Charter has given the movement great impetus. Your speeches have given encouragement.
 Phillips made his report year ago last spring, while he was still in India. But the begging down of the Burma campaign for one full year, plus Stilwell's trouble in China, all have caused Roosevelt advisers to study anew Phillips plan for giving military and po- litical impetus to this far-behind- schedule theatre of war.
 Many advisers agree with Phil ip that, since we are largely
 pping the Indian Army and aace Britain will only play toEen" part in the war against 3apa, India is "our business"

Hate Not Necessary

Joe E. Brown, comedian and phi
losopher, has been in almost every
combat area where American BOYS
are stationed" Returning recently
from Italy, he denied that there is
any lust for killing" among troops
from the United States. Our COM
manders," he told the American
Magazine, have taught them how to
kill. y But they have not made
them like it, and they never will
They are doing it because it is a Job
that has to be done, but it gives
them no pleasure"
Of course, Mr.. Brown does not
intend to suggest that American
soldiers are soft" The Germans
and the Japs know that. But the
business of war has not been glori-
He'd among us as the noblest of
human enterprises. No American
ever has attempted to emulate Won
Moltke and Won Treitschke in praise
of armed conflict as a benefit to
humanity in itself The universal
testimony of the press, radio, motion
pictures, documentary photographs,
soldiers and sailors letters and the
impressions of professional and lay
observers in the combat zones has
been to one single effect-namely,
that to Americans the struggle for
victory is nothing but a duty, never
an experience which they enjoy.
Perhaps this is the fundamental
difference between the Axis and the
United Nations 1t is no accident,
certainly, that the element of
chivalry persists among American
fighters even in the face of savagery.
Nearly two thousand years of Chris
tan teaching has not been in vain.
Mr.. Brown, who himself has lost a
son in the war, says: 1T wasn't
necessary to hate all the individuals

had duped." The Martyred Founder

spokesman claim that while the Allies
have unquestionable superiority In mass
production they have conten6ed them
selves so far to merely duplicating the
modern German weapons.
The Germans admit the war has now
reached its ANAL stage; the Allies, they
say, have large superiority in men

have reported only 20 Of their num-
bers lost to direct enemy action since
Pearl Harbor, the massacre inflicted
on the U-boats seems all the more
remarkable. In the early days of the
war, the Nazis counted heavily on
this weapon, and now that it has
been practically struck from their
hands, they must invent mythical
forays against our shipping, exag-
gerating their claims by as much as
1000 per cent. But they know as
we'll as we do that what our British
and American forces have done to
their raiders constitutes one of the
wars decisive turning points. Had
things gone otherwise, had Hitler
succeeded in severing our supply

would be far different from what it
is. A great debt Of thanks is owed

Nuzi PuIIbucks in France

NCpOI Us are coming from Llle
Spanish border that the Germans
are pulling their troops out Of the
adjacent districts Of Southwestern
France. While not officially con-
f1rmed, such moves are so in accord
with the general military situation
which is developing in the French
theater of action that they are
highly probable.
The great American offensive,
after isolating the peninsula of
Brittany, has turned sharply and
is sweeping due eastward up the
valley of the Loire, the great river
which runs through open. level
country to point due south of Paris
at Orleans, the distance between
those cities being only about go
miles. That intervening stretch IS
also open country, with superb high
roads for motorized warfare; and
beyond Paris again the same ter
rain extends northWard clear into
Belgium. So far as topography is
concerned, there is nothing to pre-
vent our tank plane team from roll
ing swiftly clear to the channel
coast, encircling and trapping the
bulk Of the German armies In
France and taking the fortified
coastal crust" In the rear.
But such a move would likewise
isolate the German forces in South
ern France. With Germany's cry
ing lack Of trained manpower and
equipment, these cannot today be
very great nor of highest quality.
Strategic logic indicates their retire.
ment from the wide Atlantic coastal
plain, where they could i'll defend
themselves against an Allied land
ing, to the billy or mountainous
regions Of Eastern France, where
they could serve as guard against
American generations from the
Loire Valley toward the upper Rhine
or Allied landings from the Mediter-
ranean and an advance up the
valley OF the Rhone, which would
likewise threaten the German hold
on Northern Italy.
The exposed position of German
troops in Southwestern France can
be judged by the fact that they are
fully 500 miles from Paris and as
far from the preWar German border
on the upper Rhine. Furthermore,
their line OF retreat lies through
rugged country infested with bands
of French patriot "Maquisards," who
have already disrupted to a consid-
cradle extent both rail and road
communications. With every good
division needed to stem the Allied
invasion in the north, it would seem
the height of folly for the German
high command to leave their occu-
patton troops in the far south. no
matter what the incidental effects
of widespread evacuation. The
American break through up the
Loire Valley has left German gen.
eralship only series of hard
choices.
