FOR SIBERIAN I)EFENSE Not many miles west of the westermost tip of the Seward Peninsula lies Siberia, the outflung pos- session of Red Russians now battling to retain thelr European homelands And quartered on that Siberian soil is the Soviet “Red Banner” army, believed to number some half- million men; equipped with 9,000 tanks, 3.000 ar- mored cars and 8,000 planes They are the pride of the Soviet armed forces, these Siberian troops, and they have proved them- selves more than once by giving crack Nipponese maulings in border encounters Despite recent rumors, it not believed that there have been any sizable movements of these Siberian soldiers to European Russia as reinforce- ments in the death struggle against the Nazis. For the Stalin war advisers, while keeping both fists pounding at the Germans, have kept watchful eyes forces is on the wily Japanese. Right now, with the new | Tojo war cabinet ruling the Tokyo roost, there seems less likelihood than ever before that the Siberian defense forces will be moved west. Indeed, if pushed too hard by the Nazis, it seems more probable that the Soviets will drop back to a new defense front in the Ural Mountains, behind which canny Joe Stalin has centered his most intensive industrial developments, than that those Siberian troops will be called away from their | constant vigil, on the western shores of Bering | Strait. Meantime, speculation in England has been rife regarding. the possible use of -the Siberians as fresh reinforcements against the supposedly war- | weary German army Those half-million fresh troops, thrown into the fight right now might de- cisively turn the tide of battle, some of the British war Chiefs believe, Although we have seen no comment from the Stalin headquarters regarding the matter, position has been advanced that if joint action on | the part of the English and U. 8. forces ecould guarantee to successfully defend Siberia against Japanese invasion, the road would be cleared to | take those Siberian defenders to reinforce the Mos- cow front. As we visualize this plan, serious objections to such a course of action. For instance, why should Stalin accept the guar- antee of England and the United States, two nations so often in the past hostile to Communist Russia, there may be several | THE DAILY ALASKA EMPIRE—JUNEAU, ALASKA |that they will protect and hold for Russia such an important segment of the Soviet Union as Siberia? And if such a plan were put in action, wouldn't that be just what the Axis is hoping to accomplish, by drawing part of the British fleet and a portion of the U. S. fleet into the Pacific, leaving the Atlantic with defense war? major thus man sea If warfare in the boats away from how can we continue Under Pacific draws too many of | convoy duty in the Atlantic, with our aid to Britain? our rapldly expanding defense activity | program, each day sees thousands of rivets and tons of steel plate being poured into the production of new ships for our navy, but we are under the im-' pression that the greatest majority of our battle- | wagons now afloat are so outmoded as to be quite ‘motrr(-nw- in modern sea warfare. our We hope to see British reinforcements holster~ ing up the Russian lines, but the Siberian army |left right where it is.

S. production of 125000 air-| | planes, including 25,000 to 30,000 four-engined long- | | range bombers, and tens of thousands of tanks. | That's a fine program. But it's for the end of | | 1943 or early 1944—more than two years away | It's not for 1941 or 1942, Our defense production is speeding up. But we | still haven't buckled down to the realization that |one tank ready to go into action now against Hitler may be worth thousands in '1944. While we are talking ‘of 1944, here’s wha ,,\ going on now, in 1941: Japan, with a Government headed by an openly pro-Nazi Cabinet, goes on a “total war” footing and | prepares for a blitzkrieg campaign that may strike | at our Far Eastern interests any moment German drives against Moscow fail to show any weakening after nearly four months of war. Almost any day we may read that Japan has | driven into Siberia toward a section of Russia with- in sight of Alaska. Almost any day we may read that Hitler has taken Moscow and is preparing to turn his full | force against England Yet while defense chiefs talk of 125,000 planes in two years' time, the War Department issued a report last week showing that in August we shipped | abroad to the countries fighting Hitler— Exactly 533 land and sea planes. How many of these were trainers, and how many long-range hombers, the War Department didn't say And the weekly business index of the New York Times printed last week showed that business \uvlty in the country declined during the week end- ‘mp, October 11 to 126.5.
