INEXPLICABLE AND UNEXPLAINED
The imposition of nation-wide gasoline ration-
ing and other rigid civilian motoring restrictions
as a result of the recommendations of the Baruch
Committee, comes as no great surprise —
Nor is there any reason to be amazed at the
criticism of the Administration's rubber program
for “overlapping and confusing authority, insufficient
reliance upon technical advisers,” and procedures
bordering on “the chaotic.” This much has been evi-
dent in the various discussions and releases concern-
ing the rubber situation.
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,

HITLER READY TO OFFER PEACE?
Adolph Hitler is expected to launch a peace of-
fensive at the conclusion of his present campaign In
Russia. 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.
