Is recognized as virtually Benito's
official spokesman. and it's taken
for granted that Benito wouldn't
permit him to express himself in
fashion distasteful to Adolf
What he said was
THE two nations of the AXIS are
not impatient to end the war soon
Now there are few things Of
which our best informed observers
of the situation are surer of than
that Adolf and Benito simply are
frantic for d speedy AXIS victory
for victory of course but an eX-
ceedlngly speedy one II stands to
reason From Adolfs standpoint.

Fascists can't stand even as pro-

at all worth mentioning
No Hurry? Phooey!
So when Editor Gayda announces
that the Axis/is in no hurry. the
expert onlookers' comment is.
"Phooeyi"
That Adolf and Benito,decided at
Bremen Pass upon tremendous
winter smash is considered ex-
treme1y likely in the rather forlorn
hope that il viii prove conclusively

be overly disappointed II It tizzles,
on the ground that the Axis is in

Gayda's utterances. at least. can be
so handled as 70 convey certain
