Russian sources in London, how
ever, said even the loss of Lenin
grad or of Moscow itself would
not end the war. Russia will keep
right on fighting with no thought
of defeat even if Hitler's legion-
aires drive to the eastern wastes
of Siberia, they said.
This same sort of determination
was voiced in front-line dis
patches from Leningrad.
"No step in retreat," was the
motto of the soldiers and civil
ian army defending- that city of
3,000,000. They recalled, that as
St Petersburg, as Petrograd or
as Leningrad, the city that Peter
the Great built had never felt

Taft Flays
Willkie Act
Sees no Reason for GOP
To Make Issue of US
International Poicy"T
" WASHINGTON, Sept 2HJP)
Declaring that "it is unfortunate
that Mr. Wendell Willkie should
attempt to read out of the party
those who disagree with him on
foreign policy," Senator Taft (It-
Ohio) said Saturday that he saw
no reason for republicans to make
an issue of international policies
i nthe off-year elections of 1942.
Willkie, the 1949 republican
nominee, recently let it be
known that he would make a
fight next year for those re
publicans who have supported
President Roosevelt's foreign
policies. He Is determined, as
sociates asserted, to make the
republican party one of "inter
nationalism" rather than "isola
tionism." Taft who has opposed admin Is-
tation foreig npolicies, told re
porters that "foreign policy is not
usually considered a matter of
partisanship."
"Congressional votes on the
question have eut across party
' lines, an dtfcere is no reason or
the republican party to make
an issue of foreign policy next
year." he added.
"No republican national conven
tion can be held Jo make any
binding declarations regarding
policy before next year's elections,
and the party national committee
clearly has no authority to make
such declarations.

Of Living Highest
In Past 10 Years
(Continued from Page 1) ,
12 per cent in the last year 10
per cent since last March.
Government economists -ex
plain the upturn in prices by
pointing to some of the factors
operating under the old economic
law of supply and demand.
They mention too, large scale
government buying for domes- p
tie purposes and for shipment
abroad under the lease-lend
program.
Eggs, pork, fats and oils, for
example, are being bought un
der lend-lease, explaining In
part rising prices for these com
modities. The average cost of foods, most
important item in the wage earn
er's budget economists , report,
will be higher when the cost of
fresh fruits and vegetables starts
to go up, probably in late Sep
tember and in October.
Bureau economists look for fur
ther advances in living costs but
are hopeful that price control
mechanics can be created to pre
vent the 113 per cent rise ex
perienced during the last war. The
peak in that war, of course,; was
not reached until 1920.
