that if such request were made by Russia, aid would be forthcorn- ing. They said there was no ques- tion about authority to give such assistance to Russia under the lend- lease act. They pointed out that congress deliberately refrained from naming the countries eligible for war aid so that assistance might be given any country which might be attacked by the Axis.

Hitler Awaits Victory to Tackle u. S.
Only Choice Before America Declared to Be
To Stond With Ally Now Against Hitler

defeated the Allies, Hitler calcu-
lated. He would be master of
Europe and Africa, their manpower
and their resources. His Japanese
ally would dominate the Far East.
He and his coalition would rule the
seven. seas and would own ship
building yards to outbuild the
United States indefinitely.
America Would Be Alone.
His own prestige would be at its
zenith, Hitler argued. and so would
that of his allies and his system of
government and his way of life.
There would be stampede all
over the world to be on the winning
side. America would be left to stand
alone.
This was the logic which gov
erned Hitler's policy toward the
United States throughout the first
l3 months of the war. Then, last
October, he recOnSldered.
For he saw that the war would
go into a second winter which
probably meant that it would go
into another spring and might last
even longer. America was still
somewhat divided and confused, Hit
ler perceived, and war production
was still far from formidable. But
the United States had achieved an
extraordinary degree of national
unity in an extraordinarily short
time. and its war production would
grow with every week that passed,
Could the British hold out, after
all. until America could organize its
enormous resources and bring ef-
fectively to bear in Europe? Was
Americas open. formal entry into
the war inevitable before Germany
could beat Britain?
And if the answers to these two
questions were YES" then wouldn't
it be better to force America into
the war now. after all? Might not
formal state of war between Ger
many and the United States actu-
ally cut down the effectiveness of
American participation for several
precious months? Wouldn't it be
better for the morale of the Ger
man people to make them face the
issue with America now. before they
were too discouraged by the resist
anCe of the British alone?
Or, would it be better to offer the
same kind of peace" that he had Of
fered with such brilliant success at
Munich-to be followed of course.
by the same kind of further strokes
of policy whenever they proved more
practical?
Hitler's Answers Changeable.
There are the questions Hitler
asked himself in October Time
alone will tell for sure how he an
sWered them. and Hitler's answers
are always subject to change with
out notice, including his own an
sWers to himself. But the burden of
the available evidence seems to show
that he answered the questions this
way:
The question of how long the Brit
ish could hold out was the key ques-
ton. If they could hold out too
long. Americas S participation in the
war could be decisive, with or with
out formal declaration of war, and
with every day the British continued
Evening star., 1941-01-19

to hold out. Americas formal entry
into the conflict would become more
likely.
And the question of how long the
British could hold out depended to
a great extent, in turn, on the kind
OF attacks Germany would launch
against them.
The thing to do, therefore, Hitler
seems to have decided, was to make
another colossal attempt to break
England within the next few months.
to launch all out" attacks from
the air, and possibly to try to force
landing on the British Isles, before
Americas influence could become eff
fective.
While these new all out attacks
were being prepared, and at least
as long as they seemed to hold out
hopes of success. Hitler apparently
decided the American people
should continue to be lulled and
soothed by still further apparent
evidences of German good will
If and when it should become
clear that Germany was about to
beat the British, finally, then Hitler
would make up his mind definitely
whether to force the United States
into the present war Or to offer
peace" and "undying friendship"
to America for the time being. and
put off the showdown with the
United States to a later date.
Forcing of Issue Certain.
But a showdown there will be.
The world cannot live half slave
and half free There simply is
not room in the world for a Nazi
Europe and Africa. japanese
Pacific and A free western Hemi-
sphere, as Hitler himself said IL
his speech OF December 10, and as
other leading NaZis have repeatedly
said for 20 years
There can be no question that the
Nazis will force the issue with the
United States. They themselves
have said SO often enough and
openly enough. until the war began
and 1t suited their purpose to tell
another story The only questions
are how the Nazis will go about il
and what are their chances Of
success.
Men of unquestioned integrity and
patriotism think America and its
way of life would be safe even if
Britain should be beaten.
If Hitler can't cross 20 miles of
water (the English Channel and
invade England how can he cross
5000 miles of water and invade the
United States. or even threaten its
way of life, these men ask.
There are several answers 10
this question:
The first answer is that Hitler
is crossing 20 miles Of water and
invading England every night, and
if these daily invasions by air have
not yet imposed a decision in the
