in dustrial center of Nikolaev and Krivoi Rog center of most productive iron mining area 1 but taking a long view of the posi tion it must be said that this slam win the rubber The really vital factor as this column has been insisting is whether Soviet Marshal Budyenny 1 has been able to make strategic retirement to fresh defenses It is significant that the Muscovites report having withdrawn from both Nikolaev and Krivoi Rog and there is no indication of great loss of men or material We overlook either the tip the Russians give us in saying that they are counterattacking heavily the northern flank of the Nazi advance into the Ukraine In short it seems highly pro bable that Budyenny has pulled back large forces to defenses a little farther east behind the Dnei per river It strikes me that he must make a stand here along a line which will have as its south ern extremity the famous Crimea with its strong defenses both land and naval Strong Red orces must of course have been left for the de fense of Odessa the great naval base which presumablyvill be the scene of a fierce fight If we as sume that the onrushing Germans will capture Odessa and it seems likely that they will then those Bolshevist troops in this area will be in a precarious position However the loss of Odessa or even of the troops defending it will not be decisive The German high command re peats that the enemv shows signs of afraid heard this same line for so many weeks now that while we be careless enough to treat it as a gry of we must insist on being shown before accepting the statement The indications are that when the smoke of battle has cleared away about Odessa we shall find the old Cossack Budyenny carry ing on behind the new line I have indicated If this is what happens Budy enny will be fulfilling his mission by keeping Hitler from making a quick conquest and by forcing the uehrer to fight on into the win ter a long way round to the Caucasus on the border of Iran (Persia) toward which the Nazi chieftain is driving his troops Despite this the Anglo Russian alliance is taking no chances on Herr Hitler thrusting down into Persia to cut the Russian lifeline to the Persian gulf Word from London is that the British and Reds are about to deliver Persia an ultimatum to clean some 5000 mans out of the country and thus prevent their cooperation with the advancing Nazi forces As was indicated in tms col umn last week in forecasting such a move not only is it vital to the Allies to keep Hitler from getting an army into Persia but this coun try must provide an important route for supplies both American and British for the Russians It also would be the highway for a British expeditionary force into Russia should such aid become ne Rev and Mrs Price Honored at Picnic 1 Miss
