(Continued rom Page D many would soon be free to con- centrate in full force against Bri- tain, that Britain and the United States together never would be able to match Germany's war production in quantity or quality.
 Dispatches did not mention the position of Nazi advanced forces in their drive toward Moscow but it was implied that they hadf gone considerably farther than their nearest previously reported point, about 07 miles from the capital.
 Soon VIII Tell
 Newspapers reports centered on the attempts of the Russians to break out of pockets and hinted that the high command would soon be able to announce the capture of an enormous number of prisoners in the Vyazrna- -Bryansk area.
 Typical of the editorials was that of the foreign ofiice mouthpiece, diplomatische-politiSch korrespon- denz, which said of rumors that Germany was putting out peace feelers:
 British authorities know exactly the seriousness of the British posi- ton.
 "They know that after the over- throw of BolSheviS1n the entire mill. tary power not only of Germany but of the continent will be free for the final fight with Britain.
 They know that Europe's mons- trouS munitions capacity, which un- til now has exhausted itself in pro- duction of weapons for continental war, can now be retooled for the manufacture of weapons required by the special conditions Of war against Britain.
 'They also know that Britain and the United States combined are un. able even approximately to match this effort quantitatively of quali- tatively.
 Britain will never reach air par- ity with Germany in 1942. Further more Germany has more planes, more tanksand more heavy guns than Britain and the United States can ever hope to produce. And this monstrous war machine is kept run ming by an army of millions of tech- nical specialists
 "The only question remaining is the time when the final struggle with Britain begins. That is and remains the secret of the German command. The British will still be talking about German peace feel- CTS when the present British gov- ernment resides in Canada"

aluminium COllec-
ton In State

Contributions of more than 1885,
500 pounds of used aluminium by the
people of Maryland in the recent
Statewide collection, was hailed by
Governor Herbert r. O'Conor, as a
convincing demonstration" of
unity of spirit among our citizenry.
Maryland housewives and citi-
zens generally, rallyingl to the Fed
eral Governments plea for used
aluminium for National Defense pur-
poses, once again have given demon
stration of the typical Maryland
spirit, the Governor declared.
while accurate final reports are
still awaited from several Of the
counties, it is certain that the figure
for the State, exclusive of Baltimore
City, will surpass 10000 pounds.
For Baltimore City the total will
reach $500 at the minimum.
while this aluminium Campaign
is but one small phase of the de-
Tense program its results in Mary
land and, l am confident, elsewhere
throughout the United States, bear
conclusive evidence that our people
are solidly behind our National lead
ers in the defense movement, and
that they can be expected to rise to
any demands for defense that may
be laid upon them.
