important thing for us to take under
consideration. Why can't We
achieve victory without this help?
Well. that's one Of those questions
which makes this ostrich run to
hide his head in the sand. It's easy
to talk about the works of the devil,
but we take cover when the spiritual
is mentioned.
Spiritual Unity Needed.
However, we have a fair answer
from the Rev. E. r. Welles, rector of
Christ Church at Alexandria, where
President Roosevelt and British
Prime Minister Churchill worshipped
yesterday. Mr.. Welles is what one
might call a good, two listed preach
er who isn't afraid to say what he
believes. He declared:
We must have q deep spiritual
unity that will make us ready, even
eager. to sacrifice our material
goods. through heavy taxes and
other ways, and when necessary,
even life itself, for the moral prin-
ciples for which this war is being
fought"
To this might be added a little
quotation which was sent to me the
other day. This was a couple Of SEN
tences from my Mothers Bible" by
Douglas Lurton (W. Funk, attrib-
uted to Abraham Lincoln as follows:
Il have been driven many times to
my knees by overwhelming convic-
ton that had nowhere else to 60.
My own wisdom, and that of all
about me, seemed insufficient for the
day."
That's a sentiment I have en-
countered often among great men in
many parts of the world. OF course,
we see people who are 50 sure OF
their own omnipotence that they
don't need any advice. Some of
them are now engaged in trying to
lick the world. But the smart ones,
or so it seems to me, are those who
recognize their limitations and hold
with Lord Baldwin, who once told
me when he was Prime Minister of
Britain:
Il believe that 1t is imossible for
any person to 60 through life bear
ing great responsibility and not
break under 1t, unless there is divine
guidance"

the western democracies. 1t is
not 50 much that the Japanese
are succeeding in their under
takings; this in itself has not
impressed the Latin Americans
very much. But the evident lack
of American and British prepara-
ton in an area which was marked
for more than a year as the in
evitable scene of enemy action
has created bad impression
among some South American
military leaders.
The naval missions which Wis
tied the United States last sum-
mer are less disheartened than
the military. They have seen
something Of American naval and
air potential and realize that it
must take some time for the
cumbersome democratic ma
chinery to be set in motion. But
some OF the army men who
visited this country when we were
just starting to build the new
Army and saw more strikes than
production are skeptical about
our ability to defeat the Japanese
without a great effort. Many Of
these men have been subjected to
a barrage Of German propaganda
in the last two years and some of
the things the German officers
told them seem to have material
lied in the last four weeks.
Communism Feared.
To top all this there is the
presence of Russia as the ally of
Great Britain and the associate
Of the United States. Communism
is feared even more than Nazi-
ism or Fascism by the South
American leaders. And the
German-Italian propaganda ma
chine has not missed the chance
to exploit this feeling.
The strong argument which
prevails in the United States,
that Russia is endeavoring, with

our assistance, to suppress the
greatest evil In the world-the
domination Of three militaristic
powers. Germany, Japan and
Italy, creates little reaction in
South America. A number Of
South American leaders are in
the same situation as our former
isolationists: They do not feel
the pinch Of war.
Furthermore, while German
and Italian propaganda organi-
cations have not missed a trick,
the same cannot be said about
our own agencies. For instance,
1t is pointed out by those who
know the Latin American mind,
that little has been made in the
southern hemisphere of indis-
criminate Japanese bombings Of
churches and other cultural in
stitutions which were founded
many years before the Philip
pines passed from Spanish to
American control. 1t has not been
sufficiently pointed out to these
republics, which have strong
Spanish ties, that the Japanese
awaited the removal of all Amer
ican anti-aircraft batteries and
interceptor planes before inten-
tionally bombing these Christian
institutions.
According to reports from the
headquarters of Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, Catholic churches,
schools and hospitals we're the
main targets of the Japanese
bombers which few unhampered
over Manila.
Officials Hopeful.
There is a feeling in official
quarters here that the co-opera-
ton of the major South Ameri-
can republics will be obtained, in
spite of some disquieting reports

tions with the army have been
strange. In one sense they made
him-as a mass-leader-antidote
against what they considered the
unsoldierly qualities Of the re-
public. But they have never
trusted him. He became chan
cellor after long resistance by
President Won Hindenburg and
only after he had falsely prom
ised that he would restore the
monarchy.
His first clash was with the
generals who forced him to
liquidate the rival storm troop
leadership in 1884. When Reichs-
marshal Goering used the oc-
casion to purge two generals as
well, Won Streicher and Won
Bredow-they were defiantly re-
habilitated in honorable memory
by the army.
As early as 1897 agents of the
generals we're secretly warning
the French and British and q
few journalists that German re-
armament was going too far, and
were actually trying to persuade
the Western powers TO clamp
down on Hitler. They had be-
come appalled, at what he was
doing to the German nation over
which he held so magnetic a
sway. They feared he would lead
the nation into a war of I'M
limited dimensions.
Hitler's Genius"
Every step forward encountered
the opposition of some of the
generals. Gen. Won Fritsch re-
fused to undertake the Austrian
coup. Gen. Beck resigned over
Czecho- -Slovakia. And agents of
the generals warned the British
and French that Munich would
mean war, not peace.
Hitler's speech on September
26. 1888, in the Sportspalast.
Berlin-the speech making war
inevitable, and answering Presi-
dent Roosevelt's peace plea over
the Sudeten question-was not
attended by a single army ofiicer
and Hitler spoke as though he
were the only military element.
From the outbreak Of war
until the Russian campaign no
more was heard Of opposition
from generals. Gems. Keitel and
Won Brauchitsch found they
could handle Hitler only by treat
ing him as a master-mind and,
after putting their own military
suggestions into his brain, ef-
fusively credit him with genius"
This fantastic theater convinced
the rest of the world of Hitler's
military genius, but it did not
convince the generals, who knew
who was responsible for the sue
cession of brilliant military vic
tories.

By the Associated Press.
Secretary Stimson said yesterday
the War Department was ready to
accept from Charles A. Lindbergh
''or any one else" any advice which
might help in the war effort.
Mr.. Stimson made the comment
at his press conference after stat
ing no action had been taken on
the flyers request for active Army
service. Mr.. Lindbergh resigned as
. colonel in the air reserves last
summer while engaged in making
speeches opposing the foreign poll
cies OF the President.
Il want this distinctly under

1t comes from Col. Lindbergh or
any one else, any advice or sugges-
ton which any American thinks
will help the service or improve it

lacking heavily.
Possession Of these two strategic
places will strengthen the invaders
position by permitting them to pour
reinforcements from the south
through Manila and thus perhaps
compel Gen. Macarthur to defend
his position from the rear as well
as the north.
This grim setback doesn't neces-
sarily mean the loss of the Philip
pines. and Washington reports that
American-Filipino resistance con-
tinues. However. it certainly en-
phasizes the gravity of the situation,
and affords little ground for op-
timism.
Gen. Macarthur seems to be doing
a grand job of leadership To have
withdrawn and reformed his lines
not only once but twice, while stand
ing of heavy attack. is a high mark
Of skill. That sort Of operation is
one of the most difficult a COM
mander can encounter.
Small Chance 70 Hold Out.
He is a great soldier, but he can't
pull reinforcements out Of a hat.
Lacking quick aid, or an Allied move
which would create . diversion
somewhere else to ease the Japa-
nese pressure on the Island of Luzon,
the chances OF our holding the
Philippines are small, although the
evil day might be stood on for a
time.
II the Japanese success presages
the fall Of the Philippines, it is quite
possible that they will remain in
enemy hands until such time as
the Allies have defeated the Japs on
the latter's own home grounds. Re-
capture of these islands while Japan
still controlled the neighboring seas
and air would be difncult and likely
wasteful job.
Apart from the battle Of the Pa
cific the war hasn't produced any
great sensation over New Year. To
me the most important development
has been the calling of the Nation
to prayer by the presidential proclaa
nation.
That is . striking reminder that
man doth not live by bread alone"
and that it takes more than guns
and bombs to win a war. Recogni-
ton of the fact that no one is so
strong as to be self-sufncient was
given by the Chief Executive in his
war address to the Nation on De-
cember 9, when he declared his con-
viction that the people of this coun-
try will retain all those great spiri-
tual things without which We can
not win through"

from Argentina. 1t is possible
that this will not be as far
reaching as the assistance we
obtained from Mexico and other
Latin American states which
broke off relations with the axis.
1t may not even be desirable to
have the largest South American
republics declare war on the
Reich and Japan at this time.
But 1t is expected that some
degree of coordination of ef-
fort, offering a more substantial
basis for the future, will be
reached during the two weeks
Of debate in the capital Of
Brazil.

SINGAPORE, Jan. 2.-Observers
from the front lines told yesterday
how three oddly y-assorted mus
keteers"-a British officer, his Indian
batman and a sergeant major
stormed Malayan railway station
held by the Japanese, killing IA Of
the enemy, cracking the skulls of
others, and taking one prisoner.
The three were armed with sub
machine gun and two rifles. When
they ran out of bullets and the
machine gun became too hot to fire,
the trio charged straight into the
station, swinging their gun butts.
They thus battered the Japanese
into a rout, caught one who threw
down his gun, and got away.

began came over Russia. The
Yugoslav revolt had completely
diverted German strategy and
prolonged the Balkan campaign
nearly a month. The Russian
campaign opened too late-the
October offensive was a terrible
mistake.
Germany has lost in Russia
from one and a half to two mil
lion men In killed, wounded and
prisoners. What do these losses
mean?
Hitler established universal
service in 1885. The classes called
up then and subsequently were
of youths born in World War
years when the, birth rate was
very low. His really thoroughly
trained young troops have never
been more than 100000 and
have been the shock battalions
in every campaign, as the death
notices in German papers have
shown. These troops have been
reduced by q full third in the
Russian campaign, and it is now
necessary to throw in reserves
from older ranks, married men
with families, who are not
Nazis.
Hitler's speech on December
u is unique among his utter
ances, as a self-apology. His mes
sage of December 10, taking over
sole command in order to bring
a turning point" admits defeat
in a-series of nothing but Official
victories, and his mention of
army and elite guard" in one
breath is bad news for Germany.
Generals Go on Strike.
Why have the field marshal and
other generals quit in the middle
of the main campaign? For the
same reason Won Schleicher was
liquidated and Gems. Fritsch and
Beck resigned. They have re-
fused to sacrifice the German
nation to any more adventures.
They will neither accept respon-
sibility nor obey orders. They
have not been court-rnartialed
or dismissed. They have gone on
strike.
The war in the West could, I
believe, end much more quickly
than we dream of were a war of
nerves-a great political war
brilliantly and systematically pur-
sued. For the first time since the
war began there is a first-rate
chance for Britain, the United
States and Russia, BY sheer po-
litical warfare, backed up by
unremitting military activity, to
overthrow the whole beastly Nazi
regime, and get a real peace
not . negotiated" peace with
Hitler, but a peace that would
save the German nation, as .
nation, along with all nations.
1t is lamentable that 80 few
men in any western foreign Of
fices know 50 little about the real
social forces in Germany, about
the real mind Of Germany. What
the army means in the German
mind Is hardly less than what
the nation itself means. The dis
may engendered by the strike Of
the generals can only be meas
ured if one thinks what the peo-
pie would have said had Won
Hindenburg and Ludendorn re-
signed in the middle of the last
war They would have said:
THE Kaiser has gone crazy"
And you can bet they are
saying that about Hitler today.
Ideas are as necessary to win
this war as weapons-there are
too few being used.
