WASHINGTON. Oct. : CINs)
Liberation Of Riga is near al
hand" So reported Prsvda, the
Soviet's official newspaper. last
Monday.
II added that Russian armies
u,ere deploying north, east and
south of the Lstvlan capital for
final assault while Red spear
heads, in some OF the bloodlest
fighting Of the Baltic campaign
had driven into the suburbs OF
Riga.
AZ weekend the battle contin-
ues in its ferocity with the Ger
mans countersttacking per
sistently and regardless of cost
but unnecessarily so far - from
favorable positions IN the hills
dominating the approaches 10 the
capital. The Nazi casualties have
been exceedingly heavy.
STRONGHOLD VITAL
The loss Of Riga, the last stra-
teEically important Nazl strong
hold in the Baltic area-would be
n disaster OF major proportions 10
the Germans, for the Russians
would then have more than a mil
lion men, thus freed, TO reinforce
their armies TO the southwark,
preparing for a thrust into Ger
many. -
In consequence, the struggle
for. the LatVian capital is becom-
ing more furious each day.
Though the city has been pounded
10 ruins with Red artillery IRE
and aerial bombardment, the
Nazis are holding on doggedly IN
q last ditch stand.
Crushed under the weight OF
tremendous Russian superiority In
nanpower - with backs 10 the
Baltic Sea and only narrow
escape corridor left along the
coast to the southward-the Ger
mans have been unable even TO
dent the iron ring closing around
them.
DEFENSE SKILLFUL
Nevertheless, through their
skillful and stubborn resistance
OF more than three weeks they
have shown how hard it is 10
reduce a fixed position when there
is no longer a possibility OF out
thanking II. This campaign I'M
euestionably also will present fur
Their evidence that such positions
can not be held indefinitely
against overwhelming opposition.
The current massive Baltic
drive-hrst phase OF a vast Rus
sian autumn offensive - blazed
into furious action as the Red
armies launched a major attack
along the front from Estonia "a
Warsaw in mid-September. with
the promise OF ding all German
resistance N the Baltic states.
The presence of German troops
along the Baltic has been a po-
tential menace TO the Russians
ever since the summer offensive
started last June. This has pre-
vented them not only from reduc-
ing their Baltic garrisons, but
also from invading East Prussia
In strength and from seizing
Warsaw.

Through gaily bedecked streets
the governor and Mrs. Bricker
drove 10 the meeting place IN a
parade headed by several bands
Gov. Broker in his Duluth
speech said in part:
1.-The American Congress Ii
that arm Of government which
difierentiates our republic from
old-world systems OF sbsolutism.
Through il we have achieved on
these shores a rule of law
rather than rule Of men. IL
il the voice Of 1870 million peo-
pie expressing their sovereign
will.
But there II significant
qualification. Congress Is eff
fective only 10 the extent that
Congress Is independent. When
ever that body becomes servile
whenever IL becomes the tool
or the pawn of the Executive
our liberties wither and die.
REFERS TO DEWEY
That almost happened here.
As Gov. Dewey recently pointed
out, the New Deal 'cOntinu-
ously sought for years to bring
the Congress of the United
States into popular disrepute.'
But that threat will not
again ariseS 30 long as the
American Congress continues 10
exercise the independence which
II almost lost, but which II
courageously retrieved within
the last two years.
"Mr. Roosevelt's intention TO
dominate Congress was sppar-
ent as soon ~ he was settled In
the White House.
The President reasoned that
he had been elected by q stu
pendous majority-thst this
constituted n mandate from the
people-and that hence the peO-
pie would have no fear OF die
tatorship.
RECALLS FDR CRISES
"The Democratic candidate
for vice president, Mr.. Truman,
recently said Of Mr.. Roosevelt,
under his leadership we have
met one crisis after another
well, IL certainly IL true
that we were confronted with
many crises.
"The messages and addresses
Of the President since his inaug-
uratien In 1882, disclose that he
has declared the existence Of a

Our American system was In
tended TO be a government nv
law-and not a government BY
men.
"The Republican party Is
pledged TO end the orgy of
spending which has marked the
New Deal. The tax. spend and
elect philosophy that has pre-
vailed for IL years Ia not good
government.
Republican governors have
set the example all over the
