This column doubts the political
usefulness of trying to ascertain
Soviet and international Communist
tactics from personal hearings such
as those conducted by the Commit
tee on Un-American Activities.
This is not the way to analyZe ma
jor developments. The Soviet-Com-
munist program has been spelled
out in exact detail in successive in
ternational congresses, and from
day to day a thorough study OF
Communist publications would re-
veal more than cross questionlngs
of ex-Communists and suspects.
Late in the war this column pre-
dicted that the Russians would be
the first to rearm Germany, SIM
ply because in a carefully worded
and deliberate "order OF the day
statement, Stain had said so.
What Stain Said.
Deriding the idea that Germany
could dissolve the Russian State and
Army, Stain said he had no such
intentions. toward Germany. There
will always be a German State. but
the Hitlerite State must 60, There
will always be a German Army.
but the Hitlerite Army will be de-
stroyed." He underlined the lat
ter by saying it would not be wise or
desirable permanently to disarm
Germany.
Meanwhile, the Free German COM
mittee had been set up In Moscow
in which high German officers
played the greatest role-Von Elm
siedel, Won Seydlitz, and later Won
Paulus. These broadcast to German
troops recommending return to
Bismarck's land Haushofer's) pro-
Russian policy as a necessity for
German power.
The role played by these officers
in Moscow disconnected the West
ern Allies. President Roosevelt told
me he had raised the question with
Stain who waived 1t off as lust
propaganda to break down German
morale" But it is apparent that
this statement was the propaganda
designed to quiet the spprehensions
of Roosevelt and Churchill.
To destroy the Hitlerite state and
create a German Soviet state; to
replace the Hitler Army with a Ger
man Red army allied with the Soviets
and their satellites is Soviet policy.
It accounts for Soviet insistence on

This Changing q World
Conditions in France Seen Far Worse
Than They Appear on the Surface

France has q venal government in
the pay of American capitalists,
there is indeed very serious danger
of war and the French farmers will
be the principal sufferers. Not only
will they and their sons be taken
back into the armed forces, but
France inevitably will suffer another
invasion far worse than that of the
Germans.
Furthermore, these agents do not
hesitate to describe the Red forces
as cruel and ruthless soldiers, who
give no quarter and indulge in ar
son and rape. They point out that
in the event of another war Amer
leans will remain comfortably at
home while the French peasantry
will be dispossessed by the Asiatlcs
and their goods and chattels taken
from them.
Telling Effect Seen.
These two factors-the brilliantly
painted prospect of prosperity for
the farmers If they decide to vote
Communists into power, and the
horrors of invasion by Soviet troops
are reported to have had a telling
effect on this once most-conserva-
tive group in France.
While the statistics of the number
of farmers on the Communist side
are unreliable, 1t is safe to assume
that more than so per cent OF the
French farming population would
prefer communism to war.
Over and above this, the weak
ness of the French Army, caused by
the lack of adequate military equip
ment, Is equally a drawback to the
Western Allies in the present world
contest, which is developing at Paris
with tragically high stakes.
Outside of two divisions properly
equipped with modern war material,
the rest of the French forces are so
poorly armed that they cannot be
counted as effective combat troops.
The revival Of heavy industry is Sc
riously handicapped by certain
shortages and by strikes, which oc-
cur almost every month in France.
Hence, production for the armed
forces, which should be far advanced
now, still lags.
The French government is anxious
to cooperate fully with the other
Western nations for the defense OF
Frances freedom. But it is con-
fronted with such b difficult situa-
ton that its ability to cope with 1t
has become one of the major con-
Germs of the other Western govern
mentS.

They declared that it would take longer to reach a settlement by that pro- cess. Olofson said that instead of having certification. we should have a denaznication" in the U. s
 Attack Plant Manager
 Albright, Olafson and Wukich all joined in attacking E. s. Hawkins, Juneau Spruce Manager, but when asked if another manager would make an difference, they declared that company policy was against them Albright said that the company is trying to break both the ILWU and the IVA.
 They stated that the mill does lOl MdlAl u ODti aAC anu 10 beahAAA6 advantage of labor dispute to close down because it's operation has been uneconomical. They did not answer the Mayor when he ask ed why the company went to such trouble to close down, if it so de- sired. They said that the com pany has been eyading any possi- b.lity of a settlement.
 Wukich displayed his copy of a letter signed by NLRB Regional Director Thomas P Graham deny ing the company's original unfair labor practice charges against the union on the grounds of insuffi- cient evidence. The letter, how ever, did not direct the company to bargain with the union.
 IVA As Strikebreakers
 Albright also accused the com pany as trying to use the IVA as strikebreakers for the impend- ing Pacific Coast maritime tie-up on June IS. He was asked ii this didn't contradict an earlier state inent in which he had. promised that Juneau Spruce would not be affected by this strike if they sign ed an agreement with ILWU. He agreed that it did.
 Olofson was asked why he was taking the side of the ILWU when the IVA. also a CIO union, had claimed jurisdiction over barge loading at the mill He declared that he beliyes that the IVA and the company are both in the wrong.
 Mayor Hendrickson said that he hated to see the City of Juneau lose the large Juneau Spruce pay roll over the work of three men. He said he was willing to do any thing to settle the strike.
 Albright submitted counter proposal to that of the Mayors. He said that ILWU pickets would be withdrawn if the company would sign the existing Alaska longshore agreement and any revisions or amendments which may be made after June Is. He also said that he. would be willing to listen to any other proposal from the com pany if it would sit down and talk to the union.
