u. S. and Britain Seen in Danger Of Losing War
In 40 Days Unless Quick Aid Is Given Russia

Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler,
Propaganda Minister Joseph 0oeb-
bels and Reichsmarshal Hermann
Goering are counting on. On their
war schedule, sometime next winter.
there is almost certain to be an item
labeled: Peace offer"
Let Germany win the Caucasus
oil and Hitler's next main efforts
are bound to be to divide the Rus
slams from their Anglo-American
allies-and vice versa. A super
Munich would be the Nazis' next
supreme objective. It would only
be another more gigantic armed
truce than Munich's was. This time
it would win the war for Germany
and Japan. II there Is ever q pause
in the fighting. Hitler feels certain
that nth columns will do the rest.
The Caucasus seems terribly re-
mote from American schools, Amer
lean elections, American free speech
but for all that. these cherished
Democratic American institutions
can receive their mortal blow II
ever. and on the very day, that
German troops enter Baku. Britain
and America cannot defeat Ger
many and Japan, at the very least,
without Soviet Russia as an ally in
Europe. Britain and America can
not Claim any future right to abso-
lutely indispensable support OF the
huge Russian army unless Anglo
American forces speed to the aid Of
the Russians in their greatest hour
Of peril.
These things must be apparent to
Prime Minister Churchill and Presi-
dent Roosevelt and to the British
and American commanders OF the
Allied armed forces. If they are not
so apparent as to dictate q second
front Immediately. then the United
States and Britain run about 81
chances out Of 100 of losing the war
both the war against Germany and
the war against Japan-in the next
40 days.
It Is not yet too late. But it Is
nve minutes to midnight. If midnight
strikes and the Caucasus falls with
out Anglo American Intervention In
Europe, there will be no excuse for
an American war correspondent to
remain in Russia. He will be needed
at home to fight In America on the
third front-the front against all
those who would welcome or tolerate
q super Munich.
