WASHINGTON, June 2 —Sumner Welles, the undersecretary of state, is a practical career diplomat, a professional, and as good a technician as ever went into a negotiation. Out of long experience he knows how hard it is to negotiate anything among professional diplomats. That's what makes his Memorial day address interesting to me. He talked about what the United States wants to come out of winning the war. And he sounded a good deal as Vice President Wallace did in his recent remarkable address on the aims of the war. Some people think Mr. Wallace is a dreamer. Yet here is Secretary Welles, who knows the technical difficulties involved, raising his sights just as high as Mr. Wal-

.lace did. They are shooting at about the same thing.

It can’t be too completely visionary if Mr. Welles is ready to see the United States make a try at it. As Welles sees it, the axis regimes must be completely crushed first of sll. Then the guilty parties should get what is coming to them. But Welles would make certain that no element in any nation is forced to atone vicariously for crimes for which it is not responsible. No people, he says, should be forced to look forward to endless vears of want and starvation.

“In Truth a People’s War”

HE SEES THE United States participating with the united nations in disarming the aggressors, establishing an international police force until a permanent system of general security is established. The united nations should become the nucleus of a world organization to work out the peace to be entered into after the period of chaos and the completion of the gigantic task of relief, reconstruction and rehabilitation that will confront the united nations at the time of the armistice.

| By Raymond Clapper

Besides all of that, Welles sees the necessity of working toward something other than the return of the status quo. He says “this is in very truth a people's war” He says it cannot be regarded as won | until the fundamental rights of the various peoples

are secured and until they are on the road toward economic security. The world can produce the goods required but the problem, Mr. Welles says, is one of distribution and purchasing power, of providing the mechanism whereby what the world produces may be fairly distributed among the nations of the world.

U. S. Will Have to Take Lead

THAT TIES IN with the Hull program for a free flow of commerce among nations. Secretary Welles says efforts are being made to obtain the co-opera-tion of the united nations in preparing for this’ “which in every sense is a new frontier, a frontier of limitless expanse. the frontier of human welfare.” The United States will have to take the lead, Mr. Welles believes, but each people must determine for itself the type of internal economic organization best suited to it. Here in America, he says, it must be individual enterprise. Given proper national policies, security and equality of opportunity, reliance on individua! enterprise of American citizens will assure our liberties and promote our material welfare better than any form of bureaucratic management. As Mr. Welles said, “Who can today compare the cost in life or treasure which we might have had to contribute towards the stabilization of a world order during its formative years after 1919 with the prospective loss in lives and the lowering of living standards which will result from the supreme struggle in which we are now engaged.” He seems to be saying that we ought to be smart enough to try to get something out of this one besides just another war.

U. M. W. Probably Will Make No Effort to Maintain ‘Show’ of Unity.

By FRED W, PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 2.~John L. Lewis snd his United Mine Work-

‘ers could maintain a show of har-

mony with Philip Murray and the C. I. O. if they would take a cooperative part in a meeting of the OC. 1. O. exccutive board here tomorrow. But no C. I. O. leader could be found today with a hope that Lewis & Co. would be there or send representatives. Their absence will be

viewed as clinching proof that the powerful mine workers are determined to go their own way,

The final, formal steps will be de- §

Apparently with an eye on the C. O.. meeting tomorrow, the Mine Workers’ executive board and policy committee, which met here most of last week and reached a climax in the personal booting by Mr. Lewis of Mr. Murray from the U. M. W. vice presidency, has been held in Washington for important outgivings today. The Mine Worker gathering will receive a report from a Lewis-named committee of five on the merit of the various indictments brought last week against the C. I. O. and the Murray leadership. These are: That the C. I. O. is ignoring an aleged debt of $1,665,000, representing money advanced by the Mine Workers when Mr. Lewis was the C. I. O. head. That Mr. Murray snubbed Mr. Lewis when he turned down the

By LELAND STOWE Copyright, 1942, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc.

AT A RUSSIAN TANK BASE, SOMEWHERE WITH THE RED ARMY, June 2.—A year ago this wéek I saw the first of these armor-plated dinosaurs in their huge factory home outside Detroit. The plant’s machinery was only half installed then. They were demonstration models —just three of them—and their numerous mates would not roll off the regular production lines until August. Now these big, heavy-gunned babies have caught up with me again—of all places, in the heart of Russia, a long way out of Moscow and on their way to the world’s

greatest front, the one which is the Western front over here but is the East-

ern front to you. As a matter of fact some of these rhinoceros-nosed steel babies irom Detroit have just gone into action on this front, somewhere to the west of us. Atl this moment and for the first time on Russian soil, they are being tested in battle against Germany's deadliest tanks. The Soviet high command will soon know how much they can take and how much they can give—and so will the Nazis.

n o ”

And More Are Coming

BUT BEFORE June gets out of her teens, there will be a great many more American mediums, tough guys, from Detroit, ramming the German positions up and down the world’s longest front. Several brigades of American tanks made up, half of mediums, half of lights, are already formed and polishing oft their training. This brigade here among the hump-backed rolling sand dunes is a good example. After a few more days it will be moving up and moving in. They sit here on the sand hills now, a long line of glistening black hulks with the snouts of their freshly painted guns jutting forth at precisely the same angle. They have traveled many thousands of miles by sea and land to get here but there is not a scratch on them. Under sunny skies and against the twin-toned greenery of scrub pines and birches, their smooth, shining exterriors seem doubly black, doubly immaculate. American workmanship is written all over them. Some of us get a secret sort of lift just looking at them sitting there, tough and lean and frown-

ing—like Joe Louis waiting for | Maybe they are not |

the gong. the last word in medium tanks. Maybe we have already got other models on the way but they have a devastating amount of fire power and they look plenty formidable. You would be surprised, too, how much more cheerful they look here in Russia's wide open spaces than they looked sitting on the Detroit testing field last June. Nothing ahead of them now but the last great demonstration—the demonstration which, multiplied by millions of times in all classifications of combat machines and human skill and endurance, will decide the war. ”

They’re Easy to Master

COL. RODION SHABALIN, a veteran tank officer of 12 years experience and now fighting in his fifth war, commands this brigade of American tanks. He is of medium height, with keen, sharp features and his pepper and salt hair matches his neat gray uni-

form. He fought first in the civil | war, then in the Soviet war with | Poland, more than 20 years ago, | then against the Japanese along | the Manchukuan border, then in | Finland and he wears the medals |

of the Red Banner and the Red Star on his chest. “We can’t tell you yet just what we think of American tanks,” the colonel said. “They're just now being tested in battle and we haven't got the first reports back yet. In general we like them very much. They're easy to master and they handle wel! over rough ground.” The colonel also says: “We're doing our best to get the most out of them.” There is evidence .of

around us. The Russian tank crews do not halt their work because of our visit. In some tanks they are giving final adjustments to armament. In others they are busy installing radio equipment. Inside the bellies of some of the

machines crew chiefs are carefully |

pointing out the peculiarities of this instrument and that.

Every Tank Needed

SOVIET TANK men are smallstatured but hard-muscled and bronzed like all Russian soldiers. Many of them are in their 20's while their crew chiefs are older but even so they have had two, three, five years, or more, with tanks. Lieut. George Vartanyan, a fine-faced young Armenian, at 25 has had four years as a tank man and been wounded twice. In one crew are two men with three years experience, in others those with four and eight, and their chief has at least 11 to his credit. Back in 1931 he trained a crew on the first type of Soviet tank and now, at 31, he leads a tank platoon. Some of these Detroit babies arrived here only three days ago, others during the last three weeks but more are coming in all the time. The colonel says that this brigade will be ready to go to the front in seven to 10 days. As a rule, due to the experience of the crews taking over the American tanks, new brigades can be ready to start for the front about two weeks after the tanks arrive. No time is being lost. Every tank is needed. The Russians know what every American must know—that nothing less than 24-hour-operation in war industries and production plants will win the war. This war can never be won on a 40-hour week. Modern wars are not won that way. n

He confesses with a grin: “Well, yes—before Briansk, I destroyed three Fascist tanks and burned or damaged about 20 others.” As Ivan throws in the gears, he says that he has had this tank for 20 days, now, and “it’s bigger and stronger than the one I had before.” Then we are off up, over and down one sand dune after another. There is plenty of churning and plunging about inside, but we fing it amazingly smooth going. Even when our Detroit baby topples over a tall pine we scarcely notice it.

Senate Group Is Opposing

Action to Give WPB All

torial friends of Thurman Arnold, the anti-trust prosecutor, are rallye ing around to save him from the oblivion to which many big busi= ness

interests—and many labor eaders—would like to consign him, Mr. Arnold's voice in anti-trust

matters would be very nearly sie lenced by a proposal, sponsored in the war production board and the war and navy departments which would give WPB the say-so as to when the anti-trust laws might be suspended to promote war produce tion.

There would be no check by the

prosecutions. Action Comes Quickly Such authority for WPB would be

charge

provided in a rider attached by the house to a bill to aid small busi=-

ness, now before a senate-house

conference committee for adjuste

ment of differences. But, through the vigilance of Senator Joseph C. O'Mahoney (D, Wyo.), an outstanding congressional champion of anti-trust law enforce ment, it appears that Mr. Arnold's influence will be protected and that he still will be able to function. The Wyoming senator asserted that the anti-trust laws were ene dangered and the senate judiciary committee, of which he is a mems= ber, promptly approved a bill which would require WPB Chairman Donald Nelson to get the approval of Attorney General Francis Biddle before suspension of the anti-trust laws in any case.

Help Public Advised

Further, Mr. Nelson would be re= quired to certify in writing to the attorney general in each case that suspension is necessary for proses cution of the war. In order that the public may be kept advised, the bill also required a report to congress every four months of all operations under the proposed law, and for publication by the attorney general in the federal register of every certificate by the WPB chairman. Senate conferees on the small business bill are expected to oppose the house rider giving sole authority to WPB and to demand that this proviso be eliminated and replaced by the new bill reported by the

mans I'll be able to give you a real opinion about the quality of American tanks.” Neither Ivan nor any of his comrades seem at all worried about what that opinion will be. Some miles away we also inspect a brigade of British medium tanks, the “Matildas,” and also the “Valentines,” which are the British light model. The Matildas are especially fine-looking jobs and some of them bear production dates as recent as March, 1942. In less than two months they have journeyed from the factory in England to their last stopping place before reaching the Russian front. Other Matildas and Valentines have been in action here for a considerable time now. The Soviet brigade commander says: “In battle these tanks are suc-

Say Procedure Too Slow

Many exemptions from prosecu= tion already have been granted under ‘an executive order by President Roosevelt which permits them subject to approval by the justice department. But WPB and the war and navy department offieials contended that this procedure caused too much delay. Mr. Arnold feared that the WPB, if granted sole authority to suspend prosecutions, might permit business practices not actually necessary to the war effort, and that anti-trust enforcement might be nullified during a period when, he contends, it is especially needed to protect the public as well as the government

The Germans | mass tanks, the T-E’s, have | greater firing power but their armor is weaker than the Matildas’.” Many miles further on we pause at a target range where heavy guns are being tested. At nearly 700 yards they demolish three small targets in the first five shots. The Detroit babies will be moving up very soon now. They will not waste many more shells on improvised targets. They will be in the line—and many hun- | dreds more will be there before this fateful summer ends.

A protest against the recent rule ing ordering the deportation of Harry Bridges, West Coast labor leader, was sent Attorney General Francid Biddle yesterday by Walter Frisbie, secretary of the Indiana Cc. 1.0. “By indorsing and substantiating these smears against Harry Bridges you are indorsing the general smears of the entire labor move ment and particularly that part of it which te represent,” said My, Frisbie.

What You Buy With WAR BONDS

The giant four-motored navy patrol bombers are the world’s most powerful planes. They cost approximately $700,000 each. The navy also has a lighter bomber called the scout bomber which costs about $143,000 apiece.

The battle for Britain was ale most lost because England had none of these giant four-motored planes with which to fight back. We need thousands of them and they are coming off the assembly lines in our production plants at a high rate of speed today. You help buy these for your navy by purchasing war bonds and stamps every pay day. Put at least 10 per cent into bonds or stamps and help your county go over its
