There is one statement in the Baruch report which deserves further consideration. It speaks of the failure to obtain detailed technical information concerning the experience of Soviet Russia in making synthetic rubber and calls it “one example of inex- plicable administration.” Russia, it is pointed out, has been manufacturing synthetic rubber success- fully for more than ten years. In Pebruary, it of- fered to evchange this information with the United States, Plainly, some explanation should be forthcoming regarding the failure of those in authority to take advantage of the Russian offer. There have been charges and counter-charges about the determina~ tion of certain American Industrialists to “control” the production of synthetic rubber. If the charge of the Baruch Committee is unexplained, there will be. many citizens ready to conclude that some selfish jerest blocked the Russian deal, soclate Editor Business Manager «19 years of age, the general impression 8 inevitable, AERIAL BATTLE MAY DECIDE COURSE OF WAR The war, in its main phages, includes the follow.

It will be designed to tempt the people of the United States and Great Britain. seeking to divide them on the issue of the war and peace, The failure of the German Army to crush Russia in 1942 is generally recognized. Meanwhile, reports from Russia indicate that the Nazis are constructing strong defense lines, preparing for the inevitable hour that German troops will have t6 meet the of. fensive that the United Nations will launch in West- ern Europe Those who have followed Hitler's assault on civ- lization will recognize that he is employing his usual tactics. The peace talk will be desighed to soften up the Anglo-Saxon resolution to finish the war If it works, it will give the Nazis generals time to adopt a defensive strategy in Russia and transfer fighting men to the Western front. This operation will get underway before the end of 1942 and by next Spring, Hitler hopes to be able to contain the Rus- sians and be prepared for the Allied offensive. It should be thoroughly understood that peace talk emanating fromm Germany does not indicate abandonment of Nazi plans, The louder Hitler wails for peace, the more reason we have for suspecting his motives. This time he will be working on the morale of the English-speaking people, seeking to undermine the home front and thus weaken the war effort While there Is no chance at all that Hitler's peace offensive will affect the governments con- cerned and little prospects that it will influence the thinking of the majority of English-speaking people, there is a prospect that it will find some response among the Pacifists In both countries, Given some leeway, the efforts of this group can become dan- gerous, Basically, there is no hope for world peace except upon the basis of mutual confidence between nations. The record of Germany, Italy and Japan prevents any intelligent individual from accepting the world of the Axis governments. To believe them would be folly and to trust them would be fatal, What the obstructionists fail to realize is that in the midst of the most desperate war which this country has been in since 1865 the nation not only has intrusted emergency powers to the President, but it looks to him for aMrmative action and leader- ship. If Congress through wilfull inaction due to re- sentment against Mr. Roosevelt's methods, were to deny him those powers which he now needs for the successful prosecution of the war, that denial would go vastly farther to discredit Congress and to weaken Congressional government than has his demand that necessary iegislation be passed without further delay. ~-New York Herald Tribune (Rep. .
