the military, Von Ribbentrop, who is the closest of -all the Nazis to the Fuehrer,
argues that a political and economic conquest of Russia will strengthen le Nazi Party and the position of Adolf Hitler himself in Germany. “The blitzkrieg method would - aug-4 ment the already enormous prestige of the military and give the generals an increa measure of political power over the Reich— power to make a military coup d'etat or even to sacrifice Hitler as a clever move to facilitate peace negotiations if America overcomes its - strikes and threatens the destruction of modern, militarized Germany. While not oblivious to these political implications, Germany's gen=erals prefer to stress the military aspect of their solution of the Russian problem. ; They too look at Russia as a vast reservoir of raw materials, vitally necessary now that the Lend-Lease bill and the virtual impossibility of successful inyasion of Great Britain makes the war inevitably a long one. But more impotrtant to them is the necessity in this immediate pb ase of the war of destroying the ussian military machine which, if the least efficient, is still the biggest in the world.
America’s Part in the Picture
As the generals contemplate a long war in- which America participates they want to remove from their flank this potential threat. They have carefully disarmed the conquered countries, which means virtually all of -Europe, and they feel that Russia too must be beaten and disarmed. Many German generals, " more-

Petain Surrendered Before Armistice, deGaulle Charges
the Germans sweep “across all France, we can fight delaying ac= tions as long as possible and then carry on the fight from the colonies. The war has really just begun.’ > “But each time Petain would deny us. ‘You are young,’ he would tell us, again and again. ‘What you are saying is silly, puerile. I am an. old and Fapericnced miliman. And, know that England is nig The war Is over.’ “And so, when he became head of the- government and had the power, he asked for the armistice.” I asked General de Gaulle if he could advance any explanation of Petain’s extraordinary conduct. He read a telegram which his adjutant brought to him and went on thoughtfully: “Any explanation is in the personality of Petain himself. I have known him for a long time. . Much of my military life
has been spent in close associa-
tion with him. ” ” ”

“YOU MUST remember that Pee
tain is of the old French military -
school, brought upon the traditions of the Franco-Prussian war of 1870. He used the same tactics in the war of (914. When the mechanized war of 1939 arrived, he still could not see any erence, He tried to fight it with a staategy that was 70 years old. e result could only mean catastrophe. Moreover, he was always a pessimist. He always saw only the dark side of an affair.” I knew there. were more reasons. I had learned from others of Petain’s associates of his deep royalist sympathies that caused him to mistrust his own people in a democracy and caused him to prefer dealing with a dictator; how to many of his intimates he had always been a man of great personal ambition. Now that he was old and could no longer play
"an important role in war, he could play it only in defeat.
The general gave me a cigaret and continued slowly. “When the armistice was signed, I knew that is was a false armistice, arranged by Petain and his associates to suit their own purposes and their philosophies, and that it was a complete, a stunning, denial of the spirit and wishes of the French people. a

Pleads to Countrymen
“THERE WAS nothing to do but to call upon my countrymen to resist. Any true Frenchman with the knowledge of the circumstances would have done the same. “There have been theories that
the character of the French. sol-
dier had changed enormously since 1918. From personal observation, I can assure you to the. contrary. The French soldier of 1940 fought just as bravely, died just as hero-
“jcally as his fellows of 1914 to
1918. It was some of the chiefs whom he trusted who failed him and dishonored France.” The sun began to touch the palm-fringed horizon. Strangely clad Negroes, their work finished, sauntered past on the road outside on their way to t he nalive village. Geheral de Ga took me to the door. Some young French soldiers stopped before the white gateway. “Vive de Gaulle!” they shouted. We shook hands and I climbed into the automobile wait= ing outside. His tall figure vanished. I had talked to a man who seeks to save a great nation from death.

Mr. Henderson also mentioned mechanical refrigerators, tires and" tubes. Meanwhile, about 8,000,000 income tax payers were relieved when the committee ‘decided not to accept proposals for stiff surtaxes on incomes. It agréed to keep the normal individual income tax at 4 per cent, retain present exemptions and avoid broadening the tax base. It proposed to start surtaxes at 5 per cent on the first dollar of taxable ‘income, and: graduate them up to the current 75 per cent maximum. This, plus the requitement that husbands and wives having separate incomes file joint returns, will raise an additional $1,360,300,000 A single man earning $2500 and having no dependents, would pay $159.50 instead of $63.80, his current tax charge. A married man without children, making the same income, would pay $38.50 where he now, pays $11. A married man with two children, who earns $3000. and pays - nothing now, would pay $11 under the new program. The committee voted to tax oorporations ' $1,255,200,000.
