U.S. To Follow British Policy Toward Russia By H. T. ELSON From Tha Tribon Washington Bureau uopynsni By Tns Bout ham Co.) WASHINGTON, June 23.

United States for eign policy will parallel that of Great Britain in respect to Kussian resistance to German aggression. Hitler and Hltlerism were identified as the real enemy and threat to American security by under Secretary of State Sumnet Welles, In an official statement Issued here at noon. All doubts that the aim of the German government Is world dom ination are resolved by the attack on Russia, says the statement which refers to the Nazi regime as a government without honor. Thus Mr, Welles upon the direct authorization of President Roosevelt has acted te mobilize United (States public opinion lenq the lines of Mr, Churchill's speech. The direct Identification of Hitler and Hltlerism as the real enemy Is a quick move fo clear away the political smoke screen and awaken the American people te the realities of the new situation.

Mr. Welles outspoken denunciation of Communism as a political philosophy Is designed to forestall appeals to religious prejudice. It also places the issue upon the simple basis of the United States' own security, thereby assuring continuance of the present policy of hostility toward Germany and all cflt 'aid to Britain. Immediate action to Include Russia as a beneficiary under "lease lend" legislation Is not yet Indicated. Wells said that even the President "could not answer that question this morning." But he did emphasize the fact that the United States government was without any official Information from the Soviet regime, a mtttptg rotate WINNIPEG, MONDAY, JUNE 23, 1941 London Sees Shorter War Now Reds In By A.

Making an offensive sweep over Northern France for the seventh successive day, the R.A.F. reported the destruction of seven more German fighter, planes today, bringing the total for the last three days to 64.

British bombers on Sunday, in their 12th straight night assault on Germany proper pound ed the big naval' base of Wllhelms haven and other targets in the northwest, Fighter escorted bombers sped across the channel In mid afternoon and resounding explosions soon were heard by watchers on the British southwest coast. The bombers tangled in a spirited right with German chasers, then headed home again. Besides Wilhelmshaven, where the air ministry said large fires were started, other R.A.F. targets Sunday night Included Emden, Bremerhaven and Duesseldorf. These raids followed upon Sunday battles over the Channel and France, In which 30 German planes were downed against only two R.A.F.

losses, bringing the Nazi toll In two days of aerial clashes to Sunday night to 57 planes. Another German plane was destroyed by one of last night raiding bomber. The series of crippling blows dealt by the R.A.F. to Nazi military targets and the German air force have won Britain "absolute supremacy" In the air over northern Europe, a United States army air corps officer said today. Seizes Advantage According to this observer, who has spent the last five weeks with the R.A.F, Britain seized a good advantage of the opportunity pre sented by the German diversion against Russia and has hammered home an offensive the like of which the R.A.F.

has not undertaken before In this war. In addition, he declared the war of attrition against German fighter units had whittled German defers sive strength "to the point where British fighter escorts In daylight outnumbered German planes which intercept them."

2 formed quarters in London, where for weeks everyone, even in high government circles, has been puzzled at the endless reports com lng from continental centres indicating the Nazi dictator had re turned to his older phobia of Bolshevism and was determined to attack Russia with all his military might. So many lying reports are put out from Berlin that even the stories of impending Invasion met with Incredulity. Only a few hours before the Nazi bombing of Soviet cities be gan, the balance of opinion here was that Hitter was merely engaged In a gigantic bluff to force Moscow to give him oil and the wheat he needs for a long war. Predictions were common that Stalin would surrender and join the appealers. Repercussions of the war between Germany and Russia will be felt all round the The whole strategic problem of beating Germany has been altered for Britain in a single weekend.

I have full authority for stating that both American and Soviet circles in Washington, although, of course, aware of reports (which mostly emanated from German or German controlled sources in Europe) of recent German troop movements toward Russia's borders were surprised by the news that war had begun.
