L RUSSIA AIDED BY EUROPE’S UNREST

Guerrilla Warfare in Conquered Nations Only Effective When There Is an Organized Land Fighting Front as at Present.

By MAJ. GEORGE FIELDING ELIOT Copyright, 1041, by The Indianapolis Times and The New York Tribune. ‘Inc.

The Germans are finding i

their occupied territories in

Europe.

Germany was not going to score a blitzkrieg victory over the

. Soviets.

This, of course, was to be expected, for three reasons: First, because the course of the Russian campaign brought

‘new hope to the conquered requirements of that campa

peoples; second, because the ign have compelled the Ger-

mans to weaken their forces of occupation or to replace

~ good troops by second-line un cealed from the populace; th ‘thus offered, added to the

its, facts which cannot be conird, because the opportunities imperative need for creating

diversions to relieve German pressure on Russia, have made it worthwhile, in fact necessary, for Britain and Russia to

take every measure possible to stir up, encourage and sup- " port the elements of resist-

ance in the occpuied lands.

The immediate results will be largely proportionate to the extent to which the Germans are .compelled to divert forces from the Russian front, or deny that front reinforcements it might otherwise ‘have received Troubles which can be dealt with by mere police forces — S.S. Troops or Landsturm formations —will be less serious than those which require field troops or aircraft to re- Maj. Eliot strain them. The general principles affecting guerrilla warfare in general apply to the situation.

A Real Opportunity

The guerrillas count in the scale of victory to the extent that they weaken and hamper their foe in dealing with his organized opponent.

Thus the existence of an organized land fighting front on the continent of Europe gives. guerrilla warfare anywhere in the occupied lands its real opportunity, and this emphasizes the real character of the gamble which Hitler took when he attacked Russia. In no campaign of history has time been of such vital importance, and for once Hitler has not been able to make time serve his purposes rather than those of his enemies. The eventual consequences form an interesting subject for conjecture. Germany itself is at the peak of manpower effort. No more German men can be put into the armed forces without a fatal weakening of industry, transportation and agriculture. There are reports that the Germans are calling for volunteers in Bulgaria, Slovakia, Rumania and Hungary; this, if true, is in itself a confession of strain. The Italians can be-depended on neither in the _ field nor as police.

Jugoslavs in Ferment

Already Jugoslavia is in a ferment of disorder. Here there are thousands, tens of thousands of fierce and determined guerrilla fighters in the mountains, comparatively well-armed and supported by the populace to a man. country lies directly athwart the main German lines of communication with southeastern Europe—viz; the Danube River and the Orient Railway. The only other rail line into Bulgaria has once been interrupted by a successful Russian air attack on the Danube bridge at Cernavoda, and may be so attacked again. These facts affect any German attack on Turkey and consequently

i

the weight of German pressure on Turkey; they affect the extent and perhaps the success of German air and naval operations in the Black Sea; they affect the scale of German air operations in the Eastern Mediterranean, and even German access to Rumanian oil. The Middle East In any struggle in the Middle East the existence of strong guer-| rilla forces operating against German communications in Jugoslavia must be of great and conceivably of decisive importance. One is again reminded of Sir Ian Hamilton’s remark that the real defense of India begins at Belgrade. Then consider Norway. This Is a country of difficult terrain, inhabited by a sturdy and stiff-necked people. It has a long coastline open to British incursions from the sea, as already proven. It is quite possible that a well-planned Norwegian rising, coupled with a series of swift-striking British raids, might develop a situation in which the British might be able to establish a permanent lodgment in Norway. At such a moment, suppose the uneasy and unhappy Swedes decided to throw their 12 well-armed divisions, their 500 planes, their excellent little navy into the scale on the side of Norway? This may seem a remote possibility, but it is one which the Germans dare not ignore. It might result in their complete expulsion from the Scandinavian peninsula and the establishment of British bombing bases within easy reach of every German vital center. Similarly, French unrest may afford the British opportunities for raids into northern France, may endanger German tenure of such important bases as Brest, Lorient and Cherbourg. The Atlantic Struggle -Certainly the scale of offensive armament in Britain is rising with the arrival of every convoy: and all this serves to emphasize the vital importance of the American naval operations in the North Atlantic, ‘which not only increases the safety of DBritain’s vital supply lines, but reduces the losses of the shipping which, in the last analysis, is the controlling factor in every British effort. The Germans are, therefore, compelled to turn increasingly to the Atlantic struggle in their efforts to offset this American aid: And their necessities in this area become more pressing the longer Russian resistance goes on. On the other hand a collapse” of that resistance would almost surely entail a collapse of the guerrilla efforts in the occupied lands which it has encouraged and to which it holds out both hope and opportunity. . Thus we see once more the need for viewing this war as a whole, for considering every phase of it in connection with every other phase, and not singly. It is in very truth a world war, and without our aid it cannot be won.

1500 QUIT JOBS AT 2 SHIPYARDS

Six-Week Defense Strike at Dayton Ends; 2 Walkouts In Indiana Plants.

By UNITED PRESS A six-week strike halting production of electrical equipment and tools .for defense ended at Dayton, 0., today and a new dispute threatened work on government ship orders at the Alabama Drydock and Shipbuilding yards at Mobile. Director John R. Steelman of the U. S. Conciliation Service announced last night that an agreement had been initialed by officials of the Simonds - Wordef - White Manufacturing Co, at Dayton and the C.I.0. Electrical Workers Union, ending a strike which began Aug. 15. Terms of the agreement, which were not disclosed, are subject to ratification today by the 300 strikers, who had demanded a new contract including wage increases and a closed shop.

1500 Leave Jobs

The C. I. O. Shipbuilding Workers Union announced last night that 1500 workers had left their jobs at two yards of the Alabama Drydock Co. in protest against failure to obtain wage gains. The company asserted, however, that fewer than 100 of its 3500 employees were affected by the walkout and that there had been no picketing. The yards are busy with contracts for the Navy and Maritime Commisison. The union said operations on the S. S. De Orleans, being converted into a Navy transport, had been halted by the walkout.

Hotel Strike Continues

On the non-defense labor front, the principal work stoppage, involving 17,000 men at three Detroit automotive plants, ended with the authorization of dismissal of strike leaders by the C. I. O. United Automobile Workers. The strike of approximately 2400 A. F. of L. hotel and restaurant employees at Pittsburgh continued, leaving guests at the city’s eight leading hotels to service their own rooms and in some cases to do without elevators. New strikes of a minor nature affecting defense production included: A joint walkout by A. F. of L.

and Jonesboro, Ind. plants of the Paranite Wire and Cable Co. to enforce demands for a new wage contract. Suspension of operations at the

IN BOMBERS alone America has matched the war machines of Europe in quality. In fighters, which are the defense against bombers, American planes so far at the front, except for a meager few’ recent arirvals, have fallen far below the best of enemy and allied armies, in quality as well as in numbers. A combat air force is composed of four main types of planes—

the fighter, or pursuit palne, which the Army usually calls an interceptor; the light bomber, or attack bomber; the medium bomber, and the heavy bomber. The interceptor’s job is to meet approaching bombers and shoot them down or drive them off. It must be fast—at least 400 miles an hour. It must be able to climb a mile a minute or better. It must be able to twist and turn and dodge like a halfback. It must carry guns able to smash through hard steel armor. Speed alone does not make ‘an interceptor superior, or even useful— except in combination with these other qualities.

sv 8 THE ATTACK bomber is built

. to attack troops 'and tanks and

moving columns. It need not be as fast as the interceptor. It must be able to carry a load of small bombs, and to maneuver swiftly and operate at low altitudes. The medium bomber, usually a two-motor plane with a crew of three or more, is built to bomb factories, harbors, ships, airports, within 600 or 700 miles of its base.

Hut ey

It must have speed, for interceptors will attack it. It must be able to climb six miles or more to escape anti-aircraft fire. It must have armor and self-sealing gas tanks and guns to beat off attackers. It must be able to carry a heavy load of bombs and fuel for 1200 or 1500 miles. The heavy bomber, of which the Flying Fortress is the best-known example, usually has four motors, a crew of five or more, can carry seven tons or more of bombs and can drop them 1500 miles from its base and still have fuel to get back. ; #®. » 8

IT OPERATES at terrific altitueds—officially five miles, actually nearer seven. It is built to destroy heavy industry, bridges, factories, cities, 1000 miles or more behind the enemy front line, to patrol far out at sea, to go into action alone and defend itself. In heavy bombers U. S. designers were far out in front when war began. The Flying Fortress actually is a 1935-model airplane. All types of war planes are constantly revised and improved, but the Fortresses have so far required less revision than most other types. At the other end of the line American design was lagging, and while its progress has been swift, it has only today overtaken Europe’s fighting craft. Today it is the equal, in quality, of Europe’s best—but not in quantity. The exact number of “first line” strictly modern U. S. fighters able to take the air and hold their own against the new Messerschmidts and Heinkels—

0 Unfiriec and alongside the new Spitfires and Defiants—is a military secret. = But it is no secret among airmen, nor among manufacturers of war planes, that the number does not equal a normal week’s losses in action as reported fsom Europe. » » ‘ SINCE the Ve inne of 1941 U. 8S. factories have built 10,659 airplanes of “military types,” according to OPM. The figure is © meaningless. It takes 100,000 - man-hours of work to build a big

little fighter, maybe 2000 hours to build a training plane. Yet each is represented by “1” in the OPM announcement. ol Meanwhile a steady and grow=ing stream of fighters has rolled; off U. S. assembly lines and gon to U. S. troops in training, to: “dead storage” warehouses in: England and thence to secondary - fronts—fighting planes that were obsolete before the first rivet went : into their wings. Production has | been slowed down by frantic:

efforts to catch up with the

parade toward perfection. Fighting planes have been remodeled: again, and again. Out of a hectic year have come some thousands of fighting planes that

can never fight modern aircraft.

Out of it, also, has come the de-" sign for 1942 planes to fight in a 1942 war—pursuit planes that seem to have everything. And the men who make them say: “Now we've got it. Now we'll build planes. Faster than the Army can train pilots to fly em.” 5

ICELAND FACING NEW PROBLEMS

Living Costs Up and Trade Disrupted by Occupation, Premier Contends.

By PHIL AULT United Press Staff Correspondent REYKJAVIK, Iceland, Oct. 2.— Premier Hermann Jonasson of Iceland said today that British and American occupation had thrust bewildering problems upon his 120,000 people, increased their living costs 70 per cent, disrupted their foreign trade and caused “a certain number of unfortunate inciden “There are many difficulties,” said in an interview, “but with = co-operation of everybody here we will be able to live-through them.

Expresses Faith in British

“The British are fighting a battle for good faith among nations and the blood of their sons is being spent in this fight that nations will keep their promises. Why, ‘then, should we doubt their word?” (It was. disclosed yesterday that United States soldiers had joined marines and sailors in Iceland.) Premier Jonasson said the greatest

lations of thousands of soldiers and Icelandic women, and it was here that the “unfortunate incidents” had occurred. The situation is comparable, he said, to 15,000,000 soldiers being dumped in the vicinity of London,

Roads in Bad Condition

He said he had little hope that the occupation would result in’ permanent improvements. Roads were in the worst condition in the island’s history, he said, because of heavy military traffic. The outstanding economic problem was the dislocation of foreign markets for herring and codfish,.he said. Formerly, most of the islanders’ catch was shipped to Spain and

He said the labor shortage was

paying such high wages that farmers were deserting their land. Some groups fear that the British and Americans will have no further interest in Iceland when the war gnds, and that prosperity will colpse.

Officials said the mission does not
