About It. -

By LUDWELL DENNY limes Special Writer

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20.—Whether Washington or Tokyo offers most in the current bidding for Russian sup-

port in the Far

ast, Stalin is expected to drive a hard

bargain with each| while giving little to either. “Keep ’em guessing,” is his strategy.

And however much that come-on game infuriates Washington and London on|the one side, and Tokyo and Berlin on the other, there|is nothing they can do about it—nothing

except to continue the negotiations patiently, For the Kremlin can determine largely whether Japan|is able to wind up the Chinese war and attempt the | co quest of southeast Asia and the Indies.

The complicated maneuvers. and counter-maneuvers are along the following lines: Washington and London @sk any basic change in Stalin's Far ‘| Eastern | policy. y want him continue ing | Japan ough the y of] China, u s [enough adic Russian er raids on Manchukuo to keep a large Nipponese army virtually | immobilized there. If| Stalin will continue [to send military supplies and other aid to Chiang ‘Kai-shek, in return for the promise of Washington and London to do [likewise over ‘ the reopened Burma Road, . Japan is apt to remain pretty well tangled in the:Chinese flypaper.

Washington Better Heeled

In payment of this| favor, London does not have much to offer. It has nothing to give that is not contingent on British victory over Hitler and recapture of world power. With that outcome no better than a 50-50 gamble—or less, in the estimapion of Moscow—Sir Stafford Cripps must make his British bets from the cuff. When to that weak| British position is added Stalin's deep distrust of Downing Street diplomacy, it is clear that Ambassador Cripps cannot control the game. | | Washington is better heeled. True, it has no territories to barter,.and no great prestige left in the Orient to trade on. But we have the most [valuable commodity in all the world today. It is worth more to Russia and others at the moment than gold or territory or even fighting planes. That commodity is machine tools. Machine tools make the|war industries go. Machine tools may mean survival and victory not only for Britain or Japan but also, soon or late, for Russia.

When the State Department detided to strike Stalin it shut off the precious machine-tool shipments he had ordered here. And now that it is forced by Hitler victories and Japanese threats to woo Moscow, it has released those valuables to Stalin. There are many other military supplies-—in-cluding oil and ships—which Russia sorely needs. The State Department can and does turn the spigot off and on. At the moment it is on part way— just enough to make the thirsty Stalin smack his lips. But it won’t remain on if he gets too chummy with. Prince Konoye’s aspiring conquerors, and he knows that. Japan in the present Moscow negotiations has much to trade, but some of it—Ilike Britain’s—is on the cuff. Japan offers zones of influence in China. And Tokyo wants to give Stalin a chunk of India and other British possessions. Konoye has not yet got these things to give, and they might prove somewhat sticky if he could offer them to Stalin. : Also, in her desperation, Japan is discussing Stalin’s demand that the old Portsmouth Treaty be scrapped and Southern ‘Saghalien transferred from the Japanese flag to the Russian. So she has come a long way from her recent position on an antiComintern power; the same complete reversal of policy made by the anti-Red Hitler, as the price of a free hand against Britain and the United States. If history repeats, Stalin will take from Hitler's Japanese ally much more than he gives—if, ineed, he gives anything real. For instance, the so-called’ non-aggression pact which Russia has long sought from Japan, and which Tokyo is now pleading for, would not prevent the more effective but less formal American - British- Chinese-Russian co-operation.

Attack British-U. S. Front

Hitler and Konoye, while trying to bribe Stalin to desert China, also are intent on breaking up the actual though unofficial AmericanBritish united front against Japanese conquest. They know, of course, that Britain many times has let down the United States for Japan—as in the Manchurian affair, as in closing the Burma Road last summer, and recently in keeping the Hongkong door closed to Chinese supplies while shipping British war supplies to Japan. They know that the same British ambassador and Foreign Office that appeased Japan before are still functioning.

Also they know that’ American public opinion objects to fighting for Dong Dang or for British rule over Orientals. They know that many American diplomatic and naval experts would prefer to defend the Western Hemisphere rather than Asia—at least until we get “on hand” that two-ocean navy now distantly “on order.”

Finally, while Japan moves to bluff off or buy off separately the three powers that block her conquest—Russia, Britain and the United States—she is making another of many attempts to bribe Chiang Kai-shek. If Chiang would sell out, thus liberating Japan’s armed forces, Russia could no longer oppose her by proxy, the United States would lose its moral base for Asiatic intervention and Britain

would be powerless to stop her.

Bugsie.

REPORT SIEGEL FETED ACTRESS

They Also Say ‘Bugsie’ Had Tailored Wardrobe and Special Food.

HOLLYWOOD, Nov. 20 (U. P.).— Benjamin (Bugsie) Siegel was out dining witn actress Wendy Barrie when he probably should have been in jail awaiting trial on charges of successfully carrying out an assignment for Murder, Inc., it was revealed today. Miss Barrie admitted that it was true, that she had joined Siegel and a deputy sheriff while she was dining alone one day in a. fashionable Wilshire Blvd. restaurant. She said that she knew the deputy and had met Siegel once before, but “could not” remember when or where.” Life of Luxury Moreover, Chief Deputy William Bright and Undersheriff A. C. Jewel said that they had reports Siegel was leading a life of luxury in the jail from which he had been denied bail. They said he had a full wardrobe of tailored clothes there to wear when he “went to see the dentist,” and that his prison denims were tailored and pressed rvery day. His dinner, they said, included such items as roast pheasant. Siegel has been ordered to trial next month on charges of shooting Harry (Big Greenie) Greenberg, a year ago. Greenberg, it was alleged, was a member of Murder, Inc. in New York, but tried to resign and was ordered to be killed because other members of the gang were afraid he would talk.

Had 18 Leaves

Sheriff Eugene Biscailuz vent to the jail record and found that Siegel had been. given 18 leaves in 49 days. Jail officials said that he ha. been released either to see the District Attorney or his dentist. Deputy Jim Pascoe, the record showed, accompanied Siegel on each of his leaves, and Deputs Pascoe insisted that he had never let the prisoner out of his sight. On one occasion, he admitted, they stopped at a cafe for a sandwich and there found Miss Barrie. Deputy Pascoe said that he knew her, and, at Siegel's request, asked her to join them. He said that he had taken the handcuffs off Siegel while she was at the table. Dr. Allen Black of Beverly Hills, Siegel's dentist, said ‘iat he had worked on “his teeth during every one of the “dental leaves.” But the sheriff said he was looking for the County Jail physician's dental assistant, who examined Siegel's raouth the first time he asked for a leave and found his teeth in perfect condition.
