Editor J3tl News 5e,W the News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON. AprU 29 This is ono world all right but take another look t It behind the news of the day. This was sianeo. unco uti many attacked Poland. Sep tember 1, 1939, and 15 days later, Russian troops crossed Poland's border cancelling soviet-Polish treaties. Indigna tion in this country ran high against both Germany and Russia. Three months later, on Nov ember 28, the soviet govern ment renounced its non-aggres- MALLOH tion pact (1932) with Finland, and, two days later. Invaded that country. Popular American opinion against Russia hit uch heights that we collected millions of dol lars of our good money to aid the Finns against the Russians. Anyone In our country who did aot contribute was an enemy of democracy. These almost unanimous public beliefs of ours prevailed for nearly two years when Hit ler suddenly (June 21, 1941) turned on Russia. All our thinking switched diametrically. Little Finland began to fight back against Russia, but we no longer considered her as a valiant democratic nation fighting against ag gression. Her fight was the same, but, this time, we looked on her as a tool of the nazis. Indeed, events drew us the whole way around and soon we found ourselves also fight ing on the side of Russia, contributing billions to her cause. Only last week, we withdrew most of our embassy from Finland, presumably because she . would not make peace with Russia. We could, not afford to be aiding an enemy of our sew ally. a Polish-Russian Situation ALL the while, we harbored the exiled. Polish government which had been crushed by the nazis and invaded by the Soviets. But this week - when that Polish government de manded a Red - Cross investigation of Polish murders, our soviet ally practically declared itself about these people in our midst by .with drawing diplomatic recognition. The Kremlin acted quickly, without consultation. This act seemed a shock to us, but In view of the above history. It was logical and natural. The only reason it appeared to us as a shock was because we had nationally deluded our selves Into false assumptions. Sveryons with an eye clearly focused could see from the start that Russia was in this war because the double-dealing Hitler had invaded her homeland, and that this homeland was what she was fighting for not primarily, to defend democracy or a new world democratic federa tion, or-a quart of milk a day, not for the four freedoms, certainly not our conception of them M far as Finland and Poland are concerned. Our swiftly changing publicity promoters, however, have tried to make seme propaganda mesh out of the necessities which brought us and Britain into the war on the same side ' and to dovetail our Ideals and our purposes." They did it so enthusiastically that they got us to believing that everyone on our side looked at this war as the average American man in the street. Perhaps they even convinced themselves until Moscow put them right. Indeed, Moscow dispatches say she might have acted earlier against the Poles in connection with other matters. Molotoff s note says straightout that Sula wants Polish territory. And is Molotoff wrong In thus preparing to demand Polish territory? Poland was Russia, Austrian and Prussian before the last World war. The treaty of Versailles restored her ancient individuality, but thereafter she always had trouble with Russia. a a a Historical Answers STALIN no doubt will contend eventually her eastern provinces are rightly his. It all depends on how far you go back Into history which answer you get. Both sides get the one they want. Anyone who can settle the boundaries satis factorily to Russia and Poland has sufficient astuteness to be the leader of the world, but no one will ever fulfill that mission. Now the Russians say the Poles are making nazi capital by bringing up the atrocity matter. That may or may not be. The far more important thing to us is that these facts regarding Poland and Finland show how mercurial has been our public opinion and how whether high or low it has seldom looked at the other fellow's side of the matter or understood his position. We too make up our opinions on a basis of our own self interest. Every nation has, always will. Certainly here is the profound eternal truth of international relationships. Here is the basis upon which the post-war world must be built. It is a basis of conflicting interests, ancient ter ritorial arguments, racial and religious com petitions. The solution of our hopes to live in peace hereafter must be founded upon these human equations, these realities. It cannot be found in the stars of idealism or in the skies of self deceptive hopes, or by throwing away of money and food to get temporary conformance. It is one world, but it is an earthy world. SIDE GLANCES The War Today By DeWITT MacKENZIE THE rather startling debate in Washington over whether we are, or are not, encounter ing difficulties with our supply of high octane aviation gasoline, gives to wonder how our number one antipathy. Heir Hitler, is getting along with his fuel supply. America is by far the world's greatest pro ducer of petroleum' and gasoline, and the big gest industrial nation. If we strike snags (or do we?) what must be the trials .of the Hun whose supplies of oil apart from what he piled up before the war and stole from occu pied countries come from the comparatively small production of the low-grade Rumanian wells and from synthetic processes applied to coal? ... a a a ' a German Gas OF COURSE the Germans don't normally use octane gasoline, which is for specially de signed American engines. However, the prob lem of ordinary aviation gas still remains. We don't know Just what Hitler's gasoline resources are, but as long ago as last summer military experts noted indications that the nazis were running very short. The great storage of oil and gas which he made in preparation for the war, and the stocks he took from France and other ravaged countries, undoubted ly are depleted. The Germans likely are making most of their lubricants and gasoline synthetically from coal. That's a slow and arduous process, for it takes a lot of coal to produce a gallon of oil, and much more for aviation gasoline. Probably the production of 100 octane gasoline in practical quantities would be out of the question.-' ' a a Direct Injection Engine OF COURSE, the nazis have built their air plane engines for a much lower grade of gasoline. They use a direct injection engine, that is, one without a carburetor. The result is that they get more power with their ordinary gasoline. ' Still, figure it as you will, the oil experts feel fairly certain Hitler is suffering from a serious shortage of gas. That undoubtedly Is one of the reasons why his air force has been lying doggo for months now. Not even the all important North African show has drawn very much air strength from the continent, and thus far the Germans have taken the bombard' ment of western Europe lying down. r .

Mr. Fisher said he had 22 men in baseball uniform and none of them last year's lettermen. All new material, but boasted of having some real good players at that Marvin was on a five-day leave and therefore had not much time to visit old friends and acquaintances.
