Soviet Advantages
Become Disadvantage

The Very advantages which the So
Viet dictatorship affords in a Wdr Of
mass against mass WW turn to disdd-
Vdntages When it becomes a question of
maintaining isolated centers Of resist
dnce to the enemy.
Britain and the United States can be con-
fident that Germany Ia being considerably
weakened by her losses Of men and material In
Russia, but there il NOT, according to the
military experts, any prospect Of Germany los
ing her offensive power.
Even IL the best that England can hope
for becomes a reality; if the Red Army il not
destroyed and survives to constitute a perma-
nent threat in Germany's rear, ENGLAND
WILL BE NO NEARER TO WINNING THE
WAR. Such an outcome would give her the
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1941-11-09
German People Might
Force Hitler TO Peace

But it would seem true that the Germans
are sufficiently doubtful of their ability TO tDin
AS distinct from fear of losing-a war against
the United States, to make it almost certain
that an American offer TO mediate peace on the
basis OF hands off Britain and her Empire
would have such an effect in Germany as 10
FORCE HITLER TO NEGOTIATE.
Half in and half out Of Europe, Americans
have been saying that they should not be COM
PEELED to fight in Europes wars, and yet insist
ing that Europeans should continue to fight
among themselves even at the cost Of the ruin
of both Europe and England.
Hence today Britain is in a position in
which she is practically compelled to fight for
the right against unsurmountable odds. but
still told by the overwhelming majority of the
American people that no American blood is TO
be shed on European battlefields.
Since only whole-hearted American support
can enable Britain to negotiate peace of
equals with Germany, Britain cannot afford TO
ALLEVIATE American public opinion by any word
Of criticism Nor can any British statesman,
however clear sighted, suggest that Britain's
wisest course would be TO negotiate peace.
The British fear that the Americans
might cease their generous aid to Eng
land If they no longer believed that By
aiding Britain they could Sdue the
whole world.
Without American support England could
only make peace which would put her at
Hitler's mercy, make Of her perhaps a second
France.
Hence the GREAT INFLUENCE of the
United States on British policy and the GRAVE
RESPONSIBILITY of Americans before the
bar-Of history.
