Interpreting The War

(By John Evanfl. Associated Press Chief of Foreign Staff)

Germany and Soviet Russia ob- viously are in conflict and some signs point to war.

Their two great armies are standing by while l-litler and sta- lin are supposed to be discussing an agreement or agreement.

Persons who should know what is going on say something l; likely to happen within a week.

German signature oi a “friend- ship treaty" with Turkey Wednes- day afternoon is the latest event in a series that sound like drum beats to those watchers from the Baltic to the Black Sea whose lives and lands may be involved in the issue.

In Finland reserves are joining their units. There probably are many German soldiers in Finland under the agreement for them to travel unarmed through the coun- try to and from Norway. Many for- eign diplomats think Finland would tolerate if not encourage German troops to reinforce the Finns ag- ainst the Soviets if there appear- ed danger of another attack.

Far to the east Afghanistan is nervous. She is reinforcing her frontiers in case Germany might ‘i seek to go to India by way of southern Russia if and when Ger- ‘ many should go to war with the soviet; or get ransit rights around the Black Sea.

Much of what Germany needs and doubtless envies in Soviet land is in the south. The Ukraine. called a "breadbasket" is about the size of Germany efore Hit- ler. It is at the northwest corner of the Black Sea. In northern Ukraine from Kiev eastward are many industries. Fully 1.000 miles from eastern Germany either way around the Black Sea. are the great oil wells of Baku from which gipelinea reach to Butum on the

lack Bea.

The two partners in the Aida movement may settle their differ- ences with another flsreement for great Soviet supplies to Germany or staiin and hi; army of several millions may find the price too high for peace.

Germany considers Europe in her hands. Bhe occupies or con- trols with gar-risona all but a few countries and those few consider themselves almost at Hitler's

mercy.

Since Britain still is on the de- fensive and could not at present invade the continent. Germany is free to turn liar land strength where she will. Latterly there has been a lull in air attacks on Bri- tain. If Germany plans an attack on the Soviets she may be organ- izing her forces for a quick trem- endous blow.

Or all this mar-shelling of mi ht may be the old funiliar mated fist pounding the table to make Stalin decide it is wiser to work with Hitler than to defy him.

The stakes are big.

The Canadian Corps never had been put to such a test of endur- ance and stamina as the invaders. represented by divisions of the brigade of guards all wearing for- age caps. opposed the defenders wearing steel helmets and made a determined attempt to throw the Canadian plans into disorder.

German methods of fifth column and trickery were used all over the area by the enemy-parachute troops sprang up behind the lines. headquarters were attacked, dis- patch riders captured. and ingen- ious methods sput forth to create all the confu on of actual battle.
