of Great Britain and its waters of

if Hitler does not think he can win
there under present conditions that
he will even temporarily cease try
ing to do so. But he must choose
even German resources are unequal
to a full-out effort against Russia
on one hand and Britain on the
other.
This applies particularly to Ger
man air power. 1t has already been
shown that German air efforts
against Britain tend to decrease
when large-scale air efforts are re-
quired in the Near East. As against
Russia this tendency would have to
be much increased - for the Red
air force is strong, at least numeri-
cally, and has heavy bombers which
can reach German vital centers.
Not only would strong fighter
forces be required, therefore, for the
German eastward thrust, but also
powerful concentrations of bombers
to strike at the Russian air bases
Hardly anything less than the full
strength of the LuftWaffe would do
and one Immediately asks what
will the Royal Air Force be doing
while all this is going on? 1t will,
of course, be carrying death and
flaming ruin almost unchecked from
the North Sea to the Elbe. That
price is probably too high, in Ger
man opinion, for a victory over
Russia. Hence it is very likely that
a German turn to the East would be
accompanied by peace offensive"
in the west.
Hitler May Offer Attractive Terms
If Hitler is, indeed, convinced that
he cannot hope for victory in the
Atlantic at present, he might very
well offer attractive terms of peace
on the basis of his completion of his
new European order" and his de-
termination to return to the policy
of 'Mein Kampf" and rid the world
of the menace of Communism.
Of course he would have not the
slightest intention of keeping such
a peace, once he had made sure of
his Russian and Caucasian re-
sources. Then the old pressures
would be reneWed-and the old
methods of bit-by-bit advance until
at last resistance is offered. Who
can say whether the American
people-or the British-could again

NEW YORK, June 14.-At the end
of the year l spent in German
France, I endured two experiences
which Illuminated President Roose-
velt's recent speech and illustrated
the case for the belief in ultimate
defeat of the Nazis.
A substantial part of this case
desperate case, I may say, for the
plain truth is the odds are large
against it-depends on the fact
that the battle of France did not
end with an armistice at Com
piegne, but merely changed its
character there and entered a new
phase. That is the news 1 can give
you in detail in this series of articles.
The battle of France has not ended.
The battle of France goes on. 1t
is not being fought by the Vichy
government, which has cut itself
off from its people and placed it
self in the ridiculous position of
fighting the only ally the French
people recognize. 1t is being
fought, instead, by the population
itself.
They are disorganized. leaderless
and almost helpless, but the mere
fact of their existence presents the
Nazis with problems which the
Nazis must solve if they are to obey
Hitlers order of September, 1899
to conquer for 1000 years or even
if they wish to consolidate their
military victory of last year.
Bayonet for Every 10 Breasts.
If the Nazis do not solve the
problems, they expose themselves
to ruin. For, until there is a So
luton, they must maintain them
selves at full strength over every
inch of occupied France. Every
Nazi soldier in occupied lands must
resign himself TO being a cop or
a corpse There must be at least
one bayonet for every 10 French
breasts. The Nazis cannot main
tain such a force Indefinitely over
so wide an area as they now have
conquered, particularly if the Eng
lish open up a front somewhere,
anywhere. to drain their man power.
That is why, think. the President
said, the wider the NaZi land
effort, the greater the DANGER"
In the meantime. the Nazis are
not solving the problems of the
occupied areas in which I lived and
worked but instead are deepening
and worsening them. So the battle
of France deepens and worsens.
Some say. the Nazis do not want
to solve the problems, but want
instead to loot and destroy. Some
say the Nazis cannot solve the
problems because of the British

on German resources of the con-
tinued fighting and the defeats of
Italy and the descriptions of the
British bombings Some say the
Nazis cannot because, simply, Nazis
are NaZis.
Waiting for Moment to Spring.
Whatever the cause, large sec
tons of the conquered populations
are becoming tragically aware that
the Nazis offer them no alterna-
tive between ruin and death. So
they become, instead of a conquered
people resolved to make the best
of it, soldiers waiting as in trenches
for the moment to spring. Many
spring now, unable to wait for the
moment, and die wasted Deaths
as did 10 peasants that I know OF
in Tours who. simply to do some
thing now. simply not to wait
another moment, cut German tele-
phone wires. One by one each did
the same useless act. One by one
each died the same useless death
before German firing squads, but
they gave the idea.
For every one that cannot wait,
10000 wait. They wait in silence,
but one hears them at night, shout
ing "allons" or "en avant" to the
British bombing planes flying over

from an enormous army of spies, an
even more enormous Democratic

Over 1910 in 1912
By Tie Associated Press.

BY II { Associated Press.
The National Defense Advisory
Commission estimated late yesterday
that carloadings, key index of
American business prosperity, would
increase s.4 per cent in 1941 and 1863
per cent in 1912 compared with last
year.
Ralph Budd. transportation COM
missioner, made public the forecast.
based on commodity figures COM
piled by the commissions Bureau
of Research and Statistics and con-
verted into carload equivalents by
the Association of American Rail-
roads.
The overall estimate covers both
defense and civilian requirements
for United States and British pur-
chaseS.
Budd estimated the total increase
in carloadings for 1941 at 3,426,628,
an average weekly increase of IS 300
cars above 1910. Carloadings in
1912, he figured, will exceed 1910 by
6,l40.373, an average weekly in
crease of 118,100.
The commissioner said that be-
cause Of inherent difficulties in
long-range forecasting the estimates
would be revised from time to time.
Among the figures on which the
commission based its estimates were
increases for 1941 of 1874 per cent in
bituminous coal, 30.1 per cent in
iron ore. 80 per cent in iron and
steel shipments of all kinds, 26.6
per cent in scrap iron and scrap
steel and 30.7 per cent in automo-
biles, trucks, parts and tires.

operations of the 5000 100000 Bell
System, showing these high spots
in the 1910 experiences of the
worlds biggest private utility enter
prise:
A record-breaking gain of 950,000
telephones raised the total in serv-
ice at the end of the year to
peak of 17,484,000.
Taxes scared $28,693, 900 to $751;
$4,000, equal to about s11 tele-
phone.
Profit was equal to $1008 a share
in the capital stock of the parent
company, against 1924 in 1899.
Gross operating revenue rose S67,-
$4,000 to s1,174 ,322 900, a gain of
6 per cent.
Net operating income was up only
1.6 per cent, or 1881 900, because of
higher taxes.
Net Income Expands.
Net income of the system, after
deducting interest on debt, appli-
cable to American Telephone g. Tel
egraph stock, increased s20,2l6, 900 to
S210, $4,000.
Employees, including those of West
ern Electric Co., the manufactur-
ing subsidiary, and the Bell Labora-
tories, numbered $4,000, a gain of
24,900.
OF its 147,500 male employees,
$1,000 registered for selective service
and more than 500 entered military
life.
Shareholders decreased $500 to
$50, 900, holding an average OF 80
shares.
A net increase of s157, 1854, 900 in
the telephone plant raised the in
vestment to $4,747, ,674, 900, with total
assets of the system nearly $780,

Recounting the effects of the de-
fense progam on activities of the
great telephone corporate domain
Walter S. Clifford, president, said
construction had been accelerated
and prudent" measures taken to
safeguard telephone facilities.
Reserve power equipment was in
stalled or ordered at all important
central Offices which did not already
have it, so as to- assure continuity
of power supply under all condi-
tionS," he explained.
Expansion Rushed.
Steps were taken, he added, to in
crease the available transmission
circuits in important routes and
work was rushed for completion by
the end of 1941 on westward extern
sion from Omaha to Denver on twin
underground cables, buried 30 inches
with the aid of special plow per-
fected last year.
1T is planned" said Clifford, ito
extend these cables beyond Denver
to connect with the Far Western
cable network at Sacramento,

transcontinental telephone line.
The buried cables, he pointed out,
will protect service from interrupt
