War on Morale Is Next
Civilians Expected to Undergo Severe Strain
This Winter in Germany and Britain

forced to change his tactics in
midsummer, however.
This was due partly to the fact
that it began to look as though
England would weather the storm.
and partly because Britain had
made the blockade effective on the
whole continent after the Na7i
occupations of neutral countries.
This extension Of the blockade cut
off huge supplies which were being
imported by rreutrals and re-exported
TO Germany.
Drive on British Shipping.
Since then the Nazi chief has
made fierce drive on British ship
ping, both by submarines (Which
he repeatedly is building in large
numbers and by bombers.
There is wide divergence between
the German claims of shipping sunk
and British admissions of losses.
However, the sinkings have been
heavy
British Minister of Agriculture
Hudson summed the position up sue
cinctly only last Tuesday in the
House of Commons. He said Brit
aims food position had been improv-
ing rapidly. He added, though, that
rigid economy was necessary because
Il cannot fOretell the shipping po-
Sition this winter"
Germany, for her part, still has
considerable supplies Chow large is
a carefully secreO, but the
position is serious enough so that
there long has been rigid food ra-
tioning. Conditions already are SO
bad in many other countries that
America is being pressed to inter-
vene and provide food, proposal
to which Britain objects strenu-
OuSly, since her main weapon to
insure survival of her empire rests
in the policy of economic strangula-
ton.
Hitler Aims at Blockade.
Thus Germany'S escape is to
smash that blockade in one way or
another Along with this Hitler is
trying to establish an aerial coun-
ter blockade on the British Isles
That is sound strategy, because
England is largely dependent on i'm
ports for her existence
To my mind Britains danger isn't
that her merchant shipping may be
wiped out, for her losses thus far
aren't a cause for grave worry, but
that the Nazis may be able to sink
enough supply ships to pinch Eng
land hard.
1t isn't so much the loss of a
ship that matters right now-it's the
loss of its cargo.
Thus far there has been no indi-
cation that Britain is in danger of
losing control of her home waters.
Should she do so. however, she would
be in the gravest possible danger.

civilian morale in both Germany
and Britain is going to be deliber-
ately subjected to grueling test
from now until spring.
Each nation is bent on smashing
the spirit of its opponent by starv-
alton and other hardships so ter
rible as to cause despair and capit-
ulation.
An important feature of this war
of strangulation is the fierce bomb
ing Of industrial areas and supply

for it represents one of the vital
features of the conflict and one
which, to my mind, will have more
to co with determining the outcome
of the war than will bullets.
Lest there be any doubt as to
what is happening both Nazis and
British are openly bombarding each
other with radio brOadcasts, with lit
erature dropped from the air, and
with word-of-mouth propaganda
spread by agents, urging the people
to revolt against their governments.
l dare say some of the inspira-
ton for these attacks on public mo-
rale comes from the fact that 1t
was largely a collapse OF the spirit
Of resistance among the German
public which caused the surrender
of Germany in the World War.
