Before Hamm could bring the

dersecretary Of Frederic william Vile.
State faces a barrage of Nazi bluster
about Germany's "invincibility" and
determination to battle to the bitter
end. But Mr.. Welles, like every
body else, knows that six months
have gone by, and, instead of facing
Britain and France which Won
Ribbentrop said would never fight,
the Nazis are besieged by land and
water, their ships swept from the
seas, their mighty army pinioned
on the Siegfried Line, their civilian
population and industry at wits end
to maintain themselves against slow
but sure strangulation.
1t is thus in the name of COM
pletely baffled Germany that Hitler
will thunder to Welles about the
Reich's will to struggle until Ger

Reich's Strong Resistance.
According to the best information
available in Washington-and nc
intelligence services excel those OF
the United States Army and Navy
the war has resolved itself into a
stalemate, outcome of which is to-
day utterly unpredictable. Hitler
may thunder at his American WIS.,
itor that Germany can never be
defeated, but Der Fuehrer knows
this is mainly wishful NaZi think
ing. Germany undeniably is offer
ing firm resistance to overwhelming
allied preponderance. In man power
naval force and economic resources
the Reich is no match for the almost
unlimited potential strength of the
British and French Empires.
AS against vastly greater allied
resources, Germany pits the incom-
parably more advanced state OF
readiness in which she took the
field. AS Hitler boasted to his
marionette Reichstag last October
the Nazis in six and one-half years
lavished 10000, 900 900 marks (round-

against the British fleet is incon-
testably brilliant, even though sub
stantially ineffective. It has been
marked by a daring aggressiveness
which extorts even allied admira-
ton. It has compelled abandonment
OF Scapa Flow as base and driven
the ironclads which guard British
coasts to cruise hither and yon upon
the narrow waters, blocking contra
band and at the same time remain
ing within striking distance of home
shores to meet any menace. Alto
gether the royal navy has lost Is
or 80 ships, mostly auxiliary craft,
but including the battleship Royal
Oak and the airplane carrier Cour-
ageous, and 1000 or 5000 trained
seamen. Other important vessels,
like the battleships Nelson and Bar
ham, have been damaged, but will
shortly return to the fighting line.
Shipping losses have been heavy,
but, compared to Britain's immense
reserves OF. tonnage, are not fatal.
On balance of loss and gain, Britain
is short fewer than 100000 tons of
merchant craft out of a total of
81 ,00000 tons at outbreak of war.
Yet John Bull will shortly go on
meat rations, as he has for some
time been for bacon, butter, sugar
and ham. Mr.. Chamberlain re-
peatedly warns the country that
"grimmer days" are ahead.
Mr.. Churchill contends that the
royal navy has the submarine and
the mine menace under control. 1t
is too early to accept this statement
at full face value, though there is
a reduction in losses by U-boats and
magnetic mines. The rounding up
of the Graf Spec revealed not only
the tactical audacity of British light
cruisers, but also the bold, world
wide, strategic deployment of the
British fleet in readiness to protect
vital trade.
These clashes have been frequent
enough to indicate that aviation's
claims Of the battleship's doom by

The Military Deadlock.
Experts, belligerent and neutral
alike, are fairly agreed that oppos-

so evenly matched and strongly in
trenched that the Maginot and
Siegfried Lines are mutually in
vulnerable. German military lead
ers like Commander in Chief Brau-
chitsch and Chief of Staff Keitel are
said to believe victory lies only in
the Frederickian policy of attack
which may explain revived talk of
a German offensive in mid-March
