Eventually it is what a person really 'is' not what he pretends to be that when we are least conscious of it we are influencing for better, for worse, every one with whom we come in contact.

If depends on whether the Russians are able to exploit their capture of Mozhaisk before the Germans are able to retire to fresh positions and reestablish their line. Yesterday I called your attention to the threat in the Japanese capture of the airbase of Tavoy in British Burma. Since then combined Japanese and Siamese (Thai) forces have struck toward the Burmese port of Moulmein, though the British report that the drive was checked near the Thailand-Burma frontier town of Myawaddi.

Now the extension of the Japanese' attack to Burma Is most disquieting. As pointed out in yesterday's column, were the Japs able to gain Burma--they- would-'at once have cut the Burma road and thereby fairly well isolate China from the outside world, and would have gained a powerful base for operations against China. Loss of the Burma road obviously would be a catastrophe for the lies in the Far East since it would cut from" ttelr ffitWr supply route.

This wasn't because of love of the British but from fear of the Axis powers. The Congress and its great leader, Gandhi, split on this issue and he abandoned his leadership becatise he doesn't countenance the use of violence, even for defense. He is the most powerful figure in India and naturally many of his people will adopt his attitude, which means that while they wouldn't support the enemy, neither would they fight for the British. I know Gandhi personally and have found that once he has his mind made up, he is difficult to budge.
