LUDWIQ ON WAR'S END
. &
Emil Ludwig, noted German
author, gives his opinion as to the
length of the wa In Europe by
declaring that the Axis forces will
be defeated - within a year be
cause they lack the nerve to carry
on in the face of adversity.
Mr. Ludwig says that he "saw
Germany lose its nerve in 1918
when forsaken by its allies," and
that "there wont be any differ
ence now " He predicts that the
Nazis "will capitulate before any
battles are fought on German
soil"
." The noted German historian
forcasts that Italy will be de
feated in three months but gives
Germany nine months to yield to
the Allied offensive.
WOMEN IN THE POST-WAB
ARMY
Congresswoman Edith Nourse
Rogers, of Massachusetts, comes
up with the suggestion that women
be kept in the armed services after
the war
We see no objection to the idea.
As Mrs. Rogers says there are
certain jobs they do well, which
men do not like She mentions
telephone operators, interpreters,
clerks and weather bureau work
ers as fields especially suitable
for women.
We think Mrs Rogers' idea is
sound and that it should be adopted
by the government There is no
reason to bar women from perm
anent places in the armed forces
along the lines suggested.
A BOY IN A MAN'S JOB
In the early days of our war
with Japan, an American naval
officer said that the Japanese did
not send a boy to do a man's job.
Recent events in the South Pa
cific indicate that the Japanese
are doing this very thing, using
insufficient task forces and suffer
ing losses that are crippling air
power, navy and merchant marine.
The mystery could be explained
on the basis of a miscalculation
of our forces If it happened once
but it has occurred repeatedly, at
Guadalcanal and in the recent bat
tles around New Georgia
What is the answer? Are the
Japanese running short of aircraft,
warships and merchant vessels?
TWO IDEAS AS TO JAPAN
"v . . , . .
jur 101-mer Amoassaaor to ja--pan,
Joseph C. Grew, has stated
repeatedly that the Japanese will
fight to the last man and that there
. Is do way to defeat them except
in a last-itch fight
1
Another idea is expressed by
J. B. Powell, Shanghai newspaper
editor, Writing in Liberty Maga
zine, Mr Powell says': "Let the
Japs think they are losing and
they will quit trying."
The editor points out that the
Japanese people do not know yet

Cl.ornia, who has wcJ over Ui.J i.t
that they have suffered any de
feats . Once they do, he add, and
if the defeats are multiplied, it is
likely that they will crumble and
turn upon the leaders that they
thought were invincible
Of course, both Mr. Powell and
Mr. Grew are entitled to their
opinions There is no way to tell
which one is correct, but, as the
war develops in the Pacific, the
answer will come.
HITLER WANTS A
PREMATURE INVASION
The cause of Adolf Hitler looks
rather sick and we may well as
sume that the smartest Nazis
know, by this time, that Germany
cannot win the war throughmili
tary force and that the only hope
for them is a negotiated peace.
How does Germany expect to
get this? By the simple exped
ient, proclaimed by Hitler him
self, of making it so costly to in
flict a military defeat that the
United Nations will give up the job
This is the present Nazi strategy
and it might be Worth while to dis
cover the best way to avoid such
a disaster.
Obviously, if the Anglo-Ameri
can armies undertake a premature
invasion of Europe, under pressure
irom Kussla, or anyone else, they
will present Hitler with an op
portunity to overwhelm the in
vasion force, with bloody losses,
thus strengthening his argument
that such an invasion is impos
sible -
There is no present sign that the
Allied high command has any idea
of falling into such a trap The
military proceedings in Tunisia
and Sicily demonstrate that our
generals take -time to make ade
quate preparation for attack,
which probably explains why they
have had such outstanding success.
It is not for civilians to tell Gen.
cjsennower, or any other com
mander, when,, where or how to '
aiuim me enemy. iNeitner is it
our task to decide when prepara
tions are adequate for the task
Let us have faith in th intellig
ence of our leaders It win
help win the war '

COLLAPSE OF ITIALIAN RESISTANCE
HITS GERMANY HARD AND JARS
HER SATELITE ALLIES , '
By Hugo & Sim
' The retirement of Mussolini' in
Italy, after about two decades of
arrogant dictatorship, coupled
with thee relegation of the Fas
cists to secondary position, means
the end of Italian aggression and
the ultimate withdrawl of the
"empire" from the war.
This sudden development, fol
lowing closely Upon Allied succes
ses in Sicily and Tunisia, gives
new evidence of the wisdom of the
war plans of the United Nations
If Italy is forced out of the strug
gle the achievement will be more
important than the opening of a
second front in northern France
some' months ago.
Few people realise the vast re
sults that have from th epochal
decision to Invade North Africa.
The Axis have been expelled from
that continent, the Mediterranean
has been opened to our shipping
and the way has been cleared for
an actual invasion of Southern
Europe
This is not all. The Axis lost
some 300,000 men in North Africa,
is about to lose an equal number
in Sicily and the withdrawl of
Italy, which may occur any day,
will mean that all Italian soldiers
are out of action, this will ser
iously affect the situation in the
Balkans
The fruits of our invasion of
North Africa include the seizure
of important bases on that conti
nent, the acquisition of needed
facilities in Sicily and the promise
of early occupation of the Italian
mainland which will offer advan
ced bases for renewed an heavier
assaults upon vital, and hitherto
somewhat inaccessible, industrial
areas of Germany.
Consider the problem of Hitler,
m German manpower dwindles
under the crushing Impact of the
Russian campaign and the mount
ing threat of the Anglo-American.

find new soldiers to meet our men,
as Sicily disappears the drain will
be renewed and, as Italy gets out
of the war, the Germans must -as
sume the entire burden
This means that several hund
red thousand German soldiers
must be rushed to the Balkan area.
Jin addition, German troops must
be arrange to meet the new threat
that arises in Italy itself. While
the role of the Italian Armies in
the present war has not been glo
rious they have eased the load of
German manpower, releasing sol
diers for other fields
It is not very wise to look too
far ahead of events but the impli-
cations of the present development
increases the optimism of the
people of the United Nations. We
may figure with reasonable expect
ancy, mat itaiy is through as an
Axis asset Her surrender will
be almost as serious to Hitler's
cause as the surrender of France
was to Great Britain
Italy's withdrawal, coming after
Nazi Germany baa endured nearly
four years of war. Is relatively
more important than if It had
occurred In the flush of German
successes.
Nobody knows where the armies
of the . United States and Great
Britain will strike, after the Sicil
ian campaign ends. Certainlv.
if Italy Is definitely out of the war
me occupation of that countrv
will not engage our full force, un
less Hitler decides to fight on the
soil of Italy rather than await an
oiiensive directed against Germ
any itself
If however. Hitler fihnnrinna tho
Italians, permitting the Allies to
occupy that nation, he will find
nis entire rieht flank urinii
endangered. Fighting desperate-

ly in Russia the Nazis have looked
to the Balkan anchor as a measure
of security for forces used against
Russia, w;. , :; , .
A successful attack In the Bal
kans would unhinge the- enure
German line in Russia and would
probably compel the Nazis - to
make extensive withdrawals, eith
er to the Dnieper river Uneor.
possibly, further west This
would be a delicate an dangerous
operation in view of the vigor of
Russian attacks and might become
a rout
We are speculating somewhat
upon the assumption that Italy will
soon get out of the war This
is likely but not .certain. The
rcciMiitu ovists that the King
and Marshal Badogllo may rally
Italian support ana mat we wu
ians, fighting for their own lands
will make a better and longer
defense. Even so, with Sicily
lost, the result of any campaign
against Italy is only a matter of
weeks.
When we acquire airfields our
bombers will multiply the attacks
unon Germany They will also
menace the Balkans., Including
Rumanian oil fields Where they
will be used depends upon the
decision of the high command as
to the next attack.
The collapse of Italian resistance
will have important political re
percussions in the satelite nations
that support the axis regime.
Bulgaria, Rumania and Hungary
will unerstand the full implications
of Italy's surrender. They know
Germany
The fighting, on other fronts
continues with the Russians mak
ing slow, but steady, gains against
the Germans. In the South
Pacific the general situation re
mains unchanged In the Alantic
the U-boat has been scotched.
In germany , exploding bombs con
tinue to cause great damage.
Back of the favorable military
picture is the avalanche of war
production that is rapidly reaching
the battlefronts to overwhelm
Axis manpower and guarantee our
victory with a minimum loss of
our fighting men,
