World Affairs


The Russian situation ha:
settled down to knock-dowl
drag out war. Most importan,
development is that blitzkriep
tactics are not now effective
The Russians have developed a
counter for swift advancement
that has again made the man
with the rifle tie main thing.
The Germans are slowly win
ming the war-too slowly most
military men think, That the
Reds could even slow down the
German armies at all surprised
the world and their feat in fight
the highly trained German
hordes to standstill is great
accomplishment that has put
Russia on the map it bang in
military circles.
The japanese in the Far East
drunk with visions of power and
install collapse of their great and
hated Communistic enemy made
preparations for great things
Tor Japanese expansion. Trend
OF the war in Russia and the
business-like response they drew
from England and the US. took
the wind out of their sails.
The rest period that England
has gained through German oc-
cupation elsewhere has not been
wasted. 1t is now doubtful that
Hitler can ever make any pro-
gress against the British. The
British Isles are ready for any
invasion any time. The British
Empire likewise. Singapore in
Japan's path is great scowling
fortress - most formidable on
earth.
The latest discovery in the
bloody mess is that Hitler fear
ed American intervention in
Europe so much that he decided
attack on England would bring
the United States into the war.
That is the last thing on earth
he wanted so he made an about
face. In the light of this the U. S.
as already saved Great Britain.
The American-British post war
world program thus is based on
pretty stable ground. When the
Germans have fought themselves
to a FRAGILE in Europe and to
victory they will turn not to face
period of enjoyment of the
fruits of victory but to face a
union of the United States and
Great Britain. An alliance with
five times greater naval power
than all the rest of the world
and sufficient land forces to do
the real work Of making the
Anlgo-SaXon plan much more
than a theory. In this scheme of
tins where Japan comes in is not
clear. 81 ,''

Minnesota Air Crash
Story 10 Be Told Monday
By the Associated Press,


MOORHEAD, Mimi, Nov. IA
public hearing will be held here
Monday afternoon into the crackup
of a Northwest Airlines transport
plane in which IA persons were
killed, with Capt. Clarence Bates,
sole survivor. telling his story.
Capt. Bates, recovering in a Fargo
IN. DakO hospital. talked Friday
with investigators for the Civil Aero
nautics Board, the House Standing
Committee on Air Accidents and an
investigator for the Senate Commit
tee on Safety in Airlines.
Frank Caldwell, in charge of the
investiga ton for the Civil Aero

Unofficial reports. however. were
that Capt. Bates said the plane be-
came unmanageable and failed to
answer controls just before the
crash. Although he was unable to
say so definitely, it was reported
heavy ice had formed suddenly on
the wings.
