has means to provide the allies with the
nnuch-needed war material. furthermore,
the experts on American affairs in the
foreign ofice told Hitler that If Mr..
Roosevelt were reelected the pace for
turning the United States into an allies
arsenal would be substantially increased.
The German general staff takes small
stock in diplomatic maneuvers. The
heads of the German army do not wish
to bank on the questionable possibility
of a strictly neutral American admin
istration. All the military men knew
was that since the possibilities of peace
by negotiations had to be eliminated
they have to strike before the allies be-
come too strong. The British and the
French military and political leaders
did not conceal the fact that by May
1941 they will have obtained from this
country enough material to enable them
to take the offensive. This the Ger
man military leaders believe to be cor
rect. Hence they decided that the best
policy would be to make the necessary
sacrifices and try to break the dead
lock while they still have the military
superiority over their opponents.
General STAFF Meets Objections.
Some Of the diplomatic advisers Of
Herr Hitler pointed out in connection
with the possibility Of the United States
becoming un-neutral that the horrors
of large scale massacre at the front
and by aerial bombardment might defi-
nitely turn the tide of American public
opinion against the Germans. That 1T
was conceivable for well-organized allied
propaganda In the United States to move
the people Of this country into action
because Of the terrorism which the Ger
man army viii exercise in a totalitarian
war
These reasons were set aside without
trouble by the German general stan.
It accepted this theory Of the diplomats
as . possibility even q probability. But
they pointed out that. at the best the
United States could not begin to help
the allies effectively before the fall Of
this year-at the earliest.
BY that time, the general stan main
tains. the face Of the war viii have
chsnged completely Il Germany puts
into the 1frst montss ~of the Offensive
everything she has.

WHEN the Norwegian governmentfied
w inland as war struck on the new
est European front, Americas only wcm-
an envoy, Mrs. j. Borden Hartman,
went with the government and the en-
tire diplomatic corps. =.
1t Is an ironic commentary on Mrs.
Harrtman's appointment as Minister to
Norway in the spring of 1887 that she
was sent to Scandinavia because the
State Department felt this was a nice,
safe. quiet post for lady. The inde-
fatigable Daisy" Hartman had rather
had her eye on Central Europe. She
had felt that Budapest or Bucharest
might afford better chance for active
participation in the European crisis,
which was even then menacing shadow
over dubious peace.
No, said the elder statesmen of the
department solemnly, it would never do
to send a woman into the Balkans.
Think of the perils, think Of the insta-
bility of law and order in that explosive
section Of Europe. If the President must
appoint a woman envoy, said the elder
statesmen. firmly opposed to the whole
idea, let her go to one of the Scandi-
navian capitals, where she would be GER
tain to keep out of trouble.
Handled Flint Cass. x
Almost from the beginning of the war
last September the Scandinavian Penin-
sula has been trouble center, the focus
OF real and threatened hostility as the
major powers were stalemated on the
western front. The incident over the
City of Flint, the major diplomatic tan
gle involving United States interests
thus far in the war, occurred in Nor
Weglan waters, and it fell to Mrs. Harri-
mans lot to handle it. Her reports from
Oslo to the State Department here have
been more keen and informative than
any others which have come from
Northern Europe.
In short, Mrs. Hartman has made
good in her job, winning the respect Of
the dubious head-shakers in the depart
ment who were not precisely In favor
of her appointment. She has done a
better job than most of the amateur
diplomats we send abroad because of
their generous campaign contributions
or their political pull. The present test
Is, OF course, a grave one, but the State
Department today has every confidence
In this handsome 70-year-old grand
mother who is now in the middle of q
war. -
