The fact that the German censor has
closed down all reference to food diff
ficultics and coal shortages is signif-
cant. The things that Germans do not
talk about are the things that matter.
If we are witnessing the beginning of
series of offensives in the west and
the opening of new campaign, that
campaign, as | have said before, is a
hunger offensive, and the plan dates
from that day when America decided
that 1t was q good idea to ration the
neutrals, but they would have to find
the rations themselves.
eff my theory is sound and well
founded we should look to the collapse
of the war in June or July. | do not
say if the German does not break us
IN the field between now and August.
He won t break us in the field or starve
