War Moves

Britain hopes to overcome Ger
many, but probably in not less than
two years, by eXcelling her in man
power and equipment.
That is the essence of the mes
sage given to the British people
Tuesday by Prime Minister Winston
Churchill. So far, Germany has had
the advantage in both. But Ger
many probably has reached the
peak of war production or close to
it, even including the output of
the occupied countries.
Britain and the United States are
getting into full stride for a pace
that Germany cannot match. 1t was
disclosed that. Britain already has
more workers in industry and under
arms than she had after four years
OF the World War Now she is 60

REDS CHANGE PICTURE

In military manpoWer, Germany
was Overwhelmingly predominant up
to last June %, when she attacked
Russia. There Hitler took on a foe
whose strength is in seemingly un-
limited manpoWer. The Nazi attack
WAS based on the assumption that
this manpoWer was ill-trained and
illequippcd and would be disorgan-
lied and overwhelmed by German
superiority in arms.
But Russian equipment, especially
in the air force and tanks, proved
far beyond any expectations. The
Russians also turned out to be first
lass fighters and tacticianS.
Churchill obviously hopes to keep
Russia and her manpoWer in the
var. For that reason. supplies from
the United States are being divert
eel to Russia to supplement all that
the British can spare above Their
needs in Africa and the east.
Russian successes in the Rostoy
egion also may be only temporary,
while the Germans are concentrat-
ing on Moscow and diyerting equip
nent to north Africa
But whatever the outcome in
Russia, it does not appear at this
moment that Germany Will triumph
soon. She has already paid a
trightful toll III lives and equipment
and the drain will continue through
the winter if the campaign contin-
ueS.
Britain meanwhile is growing
daily stronger In the future, Churc-
hill declared, our men will fight
on equal terms in technical equip
mont and a little later OH superior
terms"
