~ ARMS FOR RUSSIA
Three Industrial Areas a8 Remain in in U. S. S. R. Even If Germans Take Leningrad and All Ukraine; ‘Soviet’ - Breadbasket Not Necessary.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor. WASHINGTON, Sept. 9.—The Soviet Union is feverishly increasing plant facilities in the Urals, Western Siberia and around Samarkand, in central Asia, in order to keep her armies in the field even if Germany occupies the
whole of European Russia.
Were all of the Ukraine lost—the Axis has been stalled at the Dneiper, barely half way across the Ukraine—Hitler would still be doomed if Josef Stalin, like China’s Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, just keeps hanging on.
Called Russia’s breadbasket, the Ukraine produces only one-fifth of the country’s grain, But as the Ukraine has approximately one-fifth of the total population, she merely produces her share.
The Soviets would miss the Ukraine’s minerals and industries, more “than the wheat, were the
three-fifths of the country’s iron
ed industrial regions already. constitutes a serious setback, and while the occupation of the rest of the Ukraine would cripple the Soviet war effort tremendously, nevertheless, like China, Russia could continue to give a good account of herself for as Ive as she chooses to keep up the
, In fact, it is difficult to conceive of the Germans doing anything to Russia that would cripple her as Japan has crippled China. And China is still going strong. : The Soviet Union has three other vast industrial areas on the order of the Ukraine. That in the Urals is 1200 miles east of Moscow. That in western Siberia is another 1000 miles east of that, while the third, in Russian Turkestan, is 2000 miles southeast of the Soviet capital. «Right now, in all three areas, ere are many going concerns.

idly as possible, largely with the aid of the United States. An unlimited amount of American machinery is needed. Also technical aid. But of late years. the Kremlin has been increasingly suspicious of all outsiders—even those hired by the Soviets to give technical advice—so it remains to be seen whethet its attitude will - now change In the Ural area are Perm, Sverdlovsk, Chelyabinsk, Ufa, Orenburg, Magnitogorsk and other important centers. Here are iron, steel, oil, machine tool and chemical plants. There are many smelting works, copper mines, textile mills, locomotive and gun factories. Tractors, trucks and automobiles are also made in that region. The second national defense area, 1000 miles east of the Urals, in Siberia, contains some of the most extensive coal and iron mines in
| the world. Here, too, are smelters,
metal-working and chemical plants capable of turning out considerable quantities of war materials, In fact, they are already doing so.
Turkestan Has Potentialities
Tamerlane—bordering on Chinese Turkestan, Afghanistan and Iran— is Industrial Defense Area 3. There is to be found oil, coal, iron, copper, molybdenum, etc., in vast amounts. There, the natural resources are not as developed as in the others but the groundwork has been laid. Already there are automobile, tractor, locomotive and even airplane factories there. For the Axis to complete the conquest of the Ukraine admittedly is possible. Urals is not quite so good a bet. That it will get as far as Novo Sibirsk, in Siberia seems out of the question if Stalin stays in the ring at all. And the capture, or even the destruction, of Russian Turkestan by bombers, is improbable if not impossible. The area itself is somethink like 15,000 feet above sea level making bomber raids extremely hazardous. A bomber 35,000 feet high would be a bare 20,000 feet above ground-and well within effec-

By WATSON DAVIS Director, Science Service . NEW YORK, Sept. 9—A scientific view that there is no necessary connection between religion and whether a person is good or evil was boldly presented to the second annual Conference on Science, Philosophy and Religion meeting at Columbia University here today by|can Dr. Hudson Hoagland, Clark University physiologist. Stating as a fact that “many, if not most, scientists are agnostics,” Dr. Hoagland challenged religionists and some philosophers with the idea that the agnosticism of the
scientists is as deeply ingrained as is the religious faith of other people. Good and evil, Dr. Hoagland con-
tended, refer to that which is good|The Christ and Lincoln, in contrast to

“Thus ethics may be something quite independent of religion,” he said, “although when sound ethics "be combined with the basic reod drive, as has often happened, desirable social conditions are like. ly to follow. On the other had, when bad ethics become combined with a religious drive such as that bad social condi-

For this reason the totalitarian faiths of the Nazis, Fascists and Communists appear to stem. from the same basic biological source as does the faith of the devoutly religious man. The very name, totalitarian state, is suggestive of this.” Dr. Hoagland’s paper, which resulted from group discussions in New England, was among those discussed at the opening sessions of
