THE WEEK IN REVIEW Another Year For Draftees? . .. .: FOREIGN Simpson Analyzes Japanese Role In Present Russo-German Conflict AT HOME I The Russian Conflict Men And The Draft When the world's two greatest pro- pagandizing powers, Nazi Germany and Soviet Russia, began knifing each other's backs two weeks ago, fact-con- scious newsmen expected the worst- and got it. During the first week of the war, counterclaims and general confusion on the communique front left map strategists free to fill in as they pleased, offered partisans on both sides much to crow about. But ear- ly this week clouds of battle began to clear, and mathematically-conscious news analysts had little trouble in gauging the trend of battle. Typical were the Russian commu- niques from the southern front, where Soviet propagandists were ac- crediting Red defenders with "slow advances," at the same time moving the front lines backward in ten and twenty mile jumps. By week's end, these things stood out above all else: 1. In terms of blood and men, the Russo-derman conflict was probab- ly the most sanguinely impressive since the battle of the Mairne. Only resistance to Nazi armored spear- heads was the more ponderous, less efficient Soviet army. By week's end the massive Russian bear was bleed- ing badly pierced by many a barbed rapier. Again the conflict of isms in- flicted its scourge upon the young, the valiant, the bewildered. 2. Again, as in all the past incidents Hitler's M~unich brain trust had analyzed, planned and timed the of- fensive to the last detail. Russo-sub- jugated Finns and Rumanians har- ried the Russian Flank, undecided but axo-conscioussToko worried the So- Viet rear, while Nazi thrusts concen- trated on central drives toward Mos- cow and Kiev. From Napoleon's Russian disaster, Hitler took a lesson. In the retreat to Moscow, the Czarist army had raped the land of all it held or could hold. Advancing French found nought but ruined villages, flame-scourged fields. Nazi timing forestalled a repeti- tion. Retreating Soviets again re- duced villages, defiled food stores, but were powerless to reduce the hor- izon-covering fields of tender green wheat; no tinderbox, they were a wel- come sight indeed to empty Nazi gra- naries. 3. Though claims of sea and air los- ses have been often exaggerated by the Reich command, territorial claims have, on the whole, been consistently reliable. This was borne out again last week by careful analysis of Rus- sian reports. 4. Aided by the Nazi high-com- mand, Rumanian troops had pushed a spearhead across the Pruth River on the Bessarabian Front, well on the road to Odessa. 5. Perhaps less enthusiastic over the fight for conflicting ideals, pro- Axis Finns to the North held their own, no more. 6. On the central front, a quick Nazi pincer thrust culminating;at Minsk engulfed whole divisions of the Rus- sian Army, advanced steadily toward Moscow.t To be taken with a grain of salt were German reports that entire Rus- sian divisions had revolted against their political commissars, and de- serted the enemy. (Political commis- sars had been reported removed from the army after the Finnish Cam- paign.) Number one question mark on the diplomatic front was Japan. Vladi- vostok was a handsome prize, but the Japanese army, spread thin over China, was in no good position to start a new campaign. -Karl Kessler. By KIRKE L. SIMPSON (Associated Press Staff Writer) Word that Japan is considering an extension of its territorial watersC which would cut off the Russian port of Vladivostok from American war supplies may be taken as an indica- tion the Tokyo government is leaning toward active steps to aid Germany. It seems a fair deduction, however, that the essence of Japan's great but undisclosed policy decision with re- gard to the Nazi-Soviet war can be stated in three words, "wait and see." For the moment, at least, its policy is to avoid flaunting directly in the faces of its Axis mates in Berlin and Rome a flat refusal to implement its tripartite pact with action against Russia. It was that which led Tokyo statesmen to the novel procedure of reaching a grave decision-and then putting it into cold storage, undis- closed. Presumably Japan intends to do nothing of major importance for the present. One reason may be that Tokyo knows much more about Sovi- et resources and resourcefulness than does Berlin. Japan has been dealing with Moscow for a long time and is quite well aware that even if Ger- many wrests control of White Rus- sia, the Ukraine and the Leningrad region, Russia still will have suffi- cient manpower and war industry, resources east of the Urals to make In The Near East While world attention was centered on the Russian conflict, British and Free French troops on the Near East front continued a slow, methodical advance against defending Vichy French troops. By week's end, British legions had broken the Fascist garrison of Tad- mur after a thirteen-day siege. Britons, meanwhile, speculated on the replacement of methodical Archi- bald Wavell by India-trained Sir Claude Auchinlech in the Middle East command. A possible Axis drive on India was one explanation given. it a ponderous factor in the Far East. Nor can Tokyo doubt that the Axis-Soviet war will increase Japan- ese difficulties in China. It surely has removed the last possibility of serious friction between Chinese na- tionalists and the powerful Chinese Communist elements. There was a time when Tokyo agents sought hopefully to promote that discord. Their dream of inter- nal disintegration in China is now shattered completely. There are reasons to doubt that Japan will move to restrict the use- fulness of Vladivostok unless it is ready to fight Russia's Far Eastern forces. A Nazi-Finn attempt already is under way to squeeze Russia out of its only all-year sea outlet into the Atlantic at Murmansk. In addition, Axis forces are threatening her ap- proaches to the Mediterranean via the Black Sea. If Red forces are driven out of both the Murmansk area and the Ukraine, whatever re- mains of Russia in Soviet hands will have only Far Eastern sea outlets to the world. On Tuesday of last week a new crop of freshly-turned 21 - year - olds marched into offices of draft regis- tration boards and signed up for the privilege of wearing khaki for a year as part of the nation's fast growing. army of selective service trainees. Two days later General George C. Marshall, chief of staff of the United States army, surprised no one, but shocked a recalcitrant Congress, by requesting the right to send trainees and National Guardsmen from the Western Hemisphere, and to extend the length of service for those already drafted. A balky Congress raged at the pro- posal, led by Johnson, Taft, Danaher and Montana isolationist, Senator Burton K. Wheeler, who saw in the move the first steps of an Adminis- tration plan to seize Iceland. General Marshall, in calling for the right to hold trainees in service and send them from the Hemisphere, cit- ed the new peril to the nation, indict- ed the restrictions of the original draft law as "hamstringing defense." Dust Bowl Farmers Last week once dust-soaked Dust Bowl farmers looked at their drenched fields, cursed unhappily that which they had longed for in other years: drought-pocked Kansas was soaked. But in the upland prairie grew a golden harvest of grain, on Prairie pasture-lands rich fields of grass for cattle, to more than make up for the loss in the Dust Bowl. All of which meant three things: that this war year would see a bum- per wheat crop to help feed Britain, that Western farmers would jingle money in their pockets for the first time in years, and that prognostica- tors who had recommended giving the dust bowl back to the Indians had reckoned without the whims of changing Mother Nature. -Bill Baker Ii:!:? :~::~....... . .................. innmm :':.at.."::::n ::, "^^i:. 51 .... .......... ..... .... ....... . ....................................... . . .. ........................ ...... . .... .. :..........:.......... ....................... isa::tit :'.: xa tr.:: ::. .. ........... ............. . ..... . . . ..... . .. . .. . ....... .. . .. ..... ............... .. .... ::...................... . .......... ................ . . t £ f i k :........f....«_f :usA... .... .................... ,. .................... ,":. :r "'':::::.1 a.... .............., ............ ........................... a..at...at. .i..., a: as z.. _.n ::;-1 ........ ............................. ..._............................ .::.c:::.............................................. ...... :':::::::::": "::::::". ::: r:::". :::m ?b:v...r.:u :ai I. .. .:::: ? uF . .. .... .. ...................... .... ........... ....... .. u:Ili;. n:::::i"": 3en:m l3F n 34 11 ai3 a 3~1311 .............. ....... . .._............ : :. . . .... s. .... - ......:::'::.....I:::..:;:::::' ":::::::::c::::':::::::: e: :......_ ................................ ...:..::::..... . ..... . ........... . ....... ... .. ................,...,...........:":::::::::",.._ .": .......... ......i.a iu:: : ::::an:::a: :::u:A .:A a..F.af....:n:u M illi 0 a 0 .. . .... n.................................... .. .... ............ ......... .... ................................ . ............,.. .......,................. . _ .... :".e:::. ..... ::er:. _ ............'° ......., i..«aa . .".._ ["......_......... ...... }:£ ........................... ..........,......... ......::: ............................,.................... ... _............

BRADFORD CHURCH "United States movies which are the only movies in Brazil show what America is not. They show that divorce is law, that family life is not happy and that parents are more often incompatible," said Seignora Noemy da Silveirt Rudolpher, repre- entative of the Republic of Brazil at the IAternational Conference of the New Education Fellowship, be- °ing held here July 6-12. Srna. Ru- dolpher comes from the University of Sao Paulo where she is professor of Educational Psychology. But I found out on a trip here beforethat the movies do not cor- rectly portray American lifeand after visiting in the home of a uni- versity friend at Christmas time, I found that American family life was wonderful," she went on to say in a recent interview. Still Loves Brazil Srna. Rudolpher is a delightful" and distinguished Brazilian woman who waxes eloquent on the subject of life in America but still retains a pas-; sionate love for her native Brazil. She became well acquainted with life in American universities when she came on a fellowship to Teachers' College at Columbia University in She had many eye openers about American ways of life. Women stu- dents at the universities in Brazil are very serious minded and up until that time Sra. Rudolpher had never had a boy friend. With her twink- ling deep brown eyes I don't see why young Brazilians had not suc- cumbed. She enjoyed in the United Sta tes having her first one-a bril- liant young ornithologist-and she went out with him without a chap- ero~n which would not have been slowed for .her a hp-t Iea1st not. 4 * * * RUSSIA could lose the Ukraine, Leningrad and Moscow in the first rush of Germany's legions and still retain military punch, in opin- ion of informed sources in Washing- ton.

The next natural line of defense is along the Volga river from the Cas- pian sea to the Ural mountains and along the Urals themselves. So let's say the Russians fall back there with an army punished but still capable of a counter-blow.I conquered, they would immediately become Hitler's grocery problem. The boys behind the Urals would have the resources of all Asiatic Russia. More important, there are great factory centers disposed over the area behind the Volga-Ural line. They dot the vast expanse of map, at Ufa, Perm, Orenburg, Sverdlovsk, at Tash- tremendously increased in the past two decades. The far-flung factory centers are in little danger from all but the long- est-range Nazi bombers. Consider something else: Why did Hitler order the invasion of Russia?

Those new factory sites would be as close to hostile bombers as are the present German industries to Britain.
