Washington. II. C.
NO SOVIET-NAZI PEACE
Those who are on the inside re­
garding the report which Ambas­
sador William C. Bullitt gave Presi­
dent Roosevelt regarding the Near
East say there is only one slight ray
of sunshine in it. Bullitt told his
chief that there was absolutely no
chance of Russia making peace w ith
Germany.
Coming from Bullitt, who served
as ambassador to Russia and who
spent considerable time there in the
early days of the revolution in 1917,
this means a lot. Bullitt has been
vigorously critical of the Soviet re­
gime in recent years and probably
would lean over backwards against
any overly optimistic appraisal.
However, after his special tour of
the Near and Middle East on spe­
cial assignment from the President,
he reported that the Russians were
so irate against the Nazis that there
would be no surrender or compro­
mise.
Bullitt is not so optimistic about
the Russian army, which he thinks
may fail badly when the Germans
are able to get their airplanes in
the air again, which they cannot
do in sub-zero weather and with
snow on the air fields. Politically,
however. Bullitt is convinced that
Russia will stand with the United
Nations to the last ditch.
Against this. Bullitt goes further
than anyone else around the Presi­
dent regarding Allied losses. Not
only does he believe that Japan will
take India, but he feels that Austra­
lia will be lost to the British Empire.
If he is right, this will be the
worst blow which the United Nations
can suffer, especially inasmuch as
American troops are now stationed
in Australia and New Zealand.
Not all war observers agree with
Bullitt on this latter point They
point out that Australia is chiefly a
desert country, and it would take
weeks and months for a conquering
army to envelop these vast areas.

PATRIOTIC INDIANS
As in the last war, thousands of
American Indians again are demon­
strating their patriotism.
The desk of John Collier, able
chief of the Office of Indian Affairs,
is stacked with letters from every
tribe in the country, pledging aid
and offering to make fresh sacrifices
for the war effort. Here are a few
examples:
Immediately after the declaration
of war, the Crow Indians of Mon­
tana voted *10,000 of tribal funds
to President Roosevelt to "use as
you see fit” They also voted to place
in the President's hands the entire
resources of their 2.000,000-a ere res­
ervation, including mineral, oil and
coal deposits, plus all available man­
power for combat service.
The Creeks of Oklahoma have set
aside $400,000 of tribal funds for the
purchase of defense bonds. Other
tribes voting large sums fer the same
purpose include the Jicarilla Apa­
ches and Pueblos of New Mexico,
the Euchee and Seminole Indians of
Oklahoma, and the Navajos.
Not to be outdone, the Colvilles of
Washington state, the Cheyennes
and Arapahos of the Plains and the
Nez Perce Indians have announced
they will not press for settlement of
tribal claims against the government
while the war lasts.
Following the Jap attack there
W'as a big rush among Indian youth
at every reservation to enlist, espe­
cially at the Sioux reservation in
South Dakota. Only three of the 46
North Carolina Cherokees in the
army were drafted. The rest vol-
unteered.
The patriotic response of Indians
may surprise the average American,
but not Collier. He says: “The In­
dians know more than any of us
what freedom means, They knew it
in other years when they fought
against overwhelming odds to save
their lands from the white man."

WE WILL WIN
Due to initial Axis advantage of
having great organizM military ma­
chines, the war will be long, diffi­
cult and costly. But if the Allied
peoples will stick it out they can’t
lose. All the major basic economic
advantages are on our side Here are
a few:
The Axis powers plus their occu­
pied territories have 29 per cent of
the world's coal, 18 per cent of the
iron ore, 3 per cent of the oil, 21
per cent of the wheat, 23 per cent
of the sugar. Total population un­
der their flags, 474,000,000; of which
168,000,000 are conquered peoples se­
cretly trying to throw off their ter­
roristic yokes.
On the Allied side of the ledger
is 67 per cent of the world's coal,
63 per cent of the iron, 78 per cent
of the oil, 64 per cent of the wheat,
and 51 per cent of the sugar.

ECONOMIC WAR FRONT
Don't start getting jittery about
reports of a soap shortage. There
is absolutely nothing to them. You
will always be able to get plenty of
soap—of some kind. Shutting off of
imported oils, chiefly from the em­
battled Pacific, probably will affect
the quality of soap, but not the
quantity. Ample domestic, Brazil­
ian and Central American oils will
provide satisfactory substitutes.
However, if you’re a lamb chop
fan, you can figure on paying more
for them.

Believe it or not. on the radio the
other night a commentator had
spent most of his time discussing the
rubber crisis, and had ended with the
words "Rubber is one of our great­
est needs," when the announcer
