War
Today
-
Hitler Turns
To Defense
Hard to Beat
Nv FREDERICK OECHsNER

THE THREAT TO Port
Moresby remains the out
standing bad spot in the
general picture of the war
today, although the danger
is being prepared for.
In the Solomons tension is
approaching a crisis.
The Japanese are showing
healthy respect for the rein
forcements we are building
up there to meet their attack.
When it comes. both Of
fensive and defensive oper-
atoms will be on the smuggling
scale and the outcome will
be of tremendous importance
in determining mastery of the
Southwestern Pacific.
ELSEWHERE, In the long
view, things look somewhat
brighter. The issue at Stain
grad remains undecided, 1t is
true, but the effect Of this
greatest battle of history on
Hitler's strategy can no longer
be argued away in Berlin or
anywhere else.
No propaganda can gloss
the fact that in the face
of worsening weather con-
ditions and prospective early
winter, Hitler has not COM
pleted his Volga campaign on
schedule.
He most certainly has not
crushed either the fighting
power of the Russian forces
or the will-to-resistance Of the
Russian people.
SIGNS FROM many points
indicate that Hitler is more
and more going over to the
defensive mentality.
That does not make him
any less tough an enemy or
actually easier to beat.
1t requires on the part of
the United Nations an aggres-
sive spirit that grows in
proportion.
There is no such thing as
static war, with both sides on
the defensive, in this day and
age.
THE COURAGE and per-
Torrance of American men
and m achines thus far
matches the best tradition of
this country in any of its
wars.
And ii reveals that we
possess the extra drive, dar-
ing and sheer technical eff
ficiency which war today
requires In such degree as to
make the 1914-191s struggle
look like a fitting match.
Recent declarations by
leaders in our war effort have
made it perfectly clear that
If our momentum is to be
maintained, the home front
Of production and supply, of
awareness of what this war
Is going to cost US in goods
and blood, must keep pace
with the men who are doing
the fighting.
WITH THE second-front
issue coming perilously close
10 a squabble at times, with
Moscow charging political
reasons behind our failure TO
open II, and the certainty that
II is not going to be opened
until American and British
tacticians say we are ready
to do 1t successfully, the re-
marks Of Maj. Gen. Ira c.
Eaker become important.
General Eaker is quoted as
strongly supporting that group
which believes that Germany
can be destroyed from the air.
There still Is an impressive
number of ground men who
contend that Germany can
really be whipped only in the
field.
Since these latter, however,
admit that air-raids are valu-
able, even essential, to soften
ing up the Nazis for frontal
attack, why not let the air
crowd 60 ahead and prove
that they can eliminate the
need for the ground phase?
II they fail. they will. in

Then they would flick the

informed, reliable experts. Specific illus trations are plentiful. One which can be discussed without utilizing any for bidden facts is the silly embroglio which arose over gasoline rationing.
 On April 9 the Office of Price Admin istration announced that motor fuel would be rationed beginning May 15. An unnamed spokesman suggested that the bulk of civilians would be limited to from two to five gallons week. The next day Administrator Ickes and OPA Director Henderson decried this estimate. But when registrars were instructed on which type of ration card to give to motorists, the gauge was based two-to-Six gallons limitation per car.
 Meanwhile reports reached the press on April 24 that, as of May 1, deliveries to filling stations would be cut from two- thirds of normal to half of normal. Ralph K. Davies, MT. Ickes' assistant, denied such step was contemplated. On May the War Production Board, at MT. IckeS' request, ordered the reduction at which Davies had Scoffed.
 This is no isolated incident. It hap pens to be one suitable for discussion be- cause it stands on it's own feet without use of data presumed to be of either use or comfort to Hitler. It is the type of misunderstanding which, if Washington publicity is adequately overhauled, can be cleared up by competent newspaper reporters overnight.
