The American naval patrol, including Iceland and Greenland in its orbit, was searching the coastline of the latter island for an alleged German submarine base when it came upon a small Norwegian vessel. The ship was stopped, questions were put to its crew and the vessel was thoroughly searched. Not only did the navy announce that it was determined that the men were Nazi agents under the direction of the Gestapo, but the questioning led to the finding of a radio station set up on the mainland of Greenland. This station, apparently, was being set up by the Germans, the report had stated, for the purpose of broadcasting weather information to the Nazis. The purpose might have been for the flights of planes that had been strafing shipping in the north Atlantic; it might have been for guidance of submarines; it might have been to give locations of lease-lenships to surface raiders, planes or the question began to be seriously asked whether Russia, like France, Greece and so many other nations, was going to be forced out of the war as a combatant, wilting before the heat and ferocity of the Nazi war machine. Indeed, when the German spearheads had been announced 65 miles away from Moscow, the stories of peace and truce offers began to come over the cables, and one of them even declared that Stalin was considering an armistice. However, these rumors were promptly denied from Berlin, Italy, London and Moscow, the Axis denials stating that objectives were far from being reached, and London and Moscow sources declaring the Russians were still able to fight. Be that as it may, it was obvious that the crisis was being reached, and that once again the great manpower of Russia must decide if it were better to give in to the Nazi, or to battle it out as the Chinese did against the Japs. Few believed that Germany or any group of European powers could finally defeat Russia with the backing of England and the United States, provided Russia were willing acto fight the sort of rear-guar- d tion that China used with such success. But whether the willingness was there, or the philosophical temperament needed for such a defense was a question. Harriman, American envoy to the U. S. mission to Moscow, answered it this way: I believe the leaders of Russia will lead the people to fight on. Beaverbrook felt file same way. MATERIAL AID: But How? Soviet crisis left the lease-len- d ideas of Britain and this country very much out on a limb. That both countries were dispatching aid was apparent. But how much and how long were difficult problems. Barkis was willin, but the Iranian railway from the head of the Persian gulf to the shores of the Caspian sea, thence into boats and again to Russian railways and roads in the Caucasus seemed the only practicable route. Britain had material to give and was giving it not only planes but squadrons and pilots and gunners. Much of this was of the heavier types which could be flown direct to the scene of service, put into action and, if surviving an eventual Russian defeat, presumably could be saved. But much of it, such as tanks and guns, had to be shipped in. The British took the attitude that they were not only willing to give of their own store, but of the American lease-len- d store. They said, in effect: We get it from the United States this way, and we shall do for Russia what the United States is doing for us. Britain felt that the Americans should give what they could, but the task they wanted this country to take over, the keeping of Soviets Burma road open seemed a task that it was a little dubious how we could accomplish.

Barring a couple of rubber factory troubles and a small row in an airplane accessory plant, the Mediation Board was having a relatively easy time of it But the type of thing that was worrying the OPM was the Detroit case, in which on Sidney Hillmans recommendation, a contract was withheld from the low bidder on the ground that he was unfair to the building trades. Now came the protest from C.I.O. quarters that Hillman favored the A.F.L. building unions and the working out of this case in Detroit was envisioned by many labor leaders as packed with dynamite for ; labor peace. An oddity in the situation was an article in the Daily Worker, Communist daily, entitled Every Factory Part of the Battle Front Against Hitler, and continuing: Interference with production of needed war materials can only help At all events ship, crew and radio Hitler and weaken the United station were all taken over by the States.

Viereck was being tried in Washington on charges that he had not told the state department the whole story about his activities. It was perhaps a joke, but at all events a sensation when, at the outset of his trial, he was asked to name his associates and he listed two assistants of Secretary Hull Joseph Davies, former ambassador to Russia, and William PhillipSi now ambassador to Rome. The nub of the ease against Viereck was that he listed his activities only as an employee of the German library of information; as correspondent for a Munich newspaper. The library had been closed down by the government for alleged im- proper activities. BRIEFS: Rome: It was predicted in Rome that Myron C.

We understand the macaroni hearing is to be for the purpose of going over the whole spaghetti, vermicelli and macaroni situation in America with the idea of making certain it does justice to modern government and that there is nothing about it that might at some time show that Washington had not been on the job. The government is out to protect you from false spaghetti just as it protects you from a bad stock market investment It would give you the same safety in the matter of buying 10 yards of spaghetti that it tries to give you in acquiring a few shares of common stocks. Spaghetti should be cord shaped and measure between 0.06 and not more than 0.11 in diameter, the government holds. It has specified certain specific shapes, and contours for macaroni and vermicelli, with or without grated cheese. And it is sticking to its policy of protecting you against everything, except a fly in your minestrone. It may yet get around to that. We hope the spaghetti hearing is a happy one and that somebody will provide rbd wine. FORWARD LOOK Go ahead, bomber Have your way! Youll be a saucepan Again some day. Grace B. Treadway.
