Lodge Says weCan
Lose War TO Nazis

WASHINGTON, Sept. 4 (UP) -
Sen. Henry Cabot Lodge R., Mass,
who served as an Army observer
during a tank battle in Libya, said
today his experience convinced him
that we can lose this war unless
we Americans gear our whole ma
ton to the monumental task of
winning"
Writing in the October issue of
the American Magazine, Major
Lodge said visit to the front
causes one to shed the 'comfor-
table illusions of invincibility which
threaten, more than Nazi agents, to
sabotage our war effort"
He told of the spirit of the Brit
ish and the excellence of Allied
equipment, but said German SOL
diers were also "superbly equipped
for the peculiar rigors of desert
warfare"
Personally" he added, my bet
is that every firm that is manu-
featuring equipment for our soldiers
will keep abreast Or ahead of the
Axis. But it isn't safe to count on
any margin of superiority to hand
us victory on a silver platter. dis
unity, faulty thinking, self-interest
and complacency can whittle down
our size and sap our strength"

Lieut.. Gen. Jose Enrique Varela,
dismissed by Franco as war min
ister, was said to have led the army
in demanding punishment of the
Falangists and imposition of at
least one death penalty.
This dispute repeatedly brought
to a head simmering bitterness be-
tween the army and the Falange
and Franco was reported to have
shaken up the government to elimi-
nate the contention and concen-
trate control of the government, the
Falange, and the army in his own
hands.
It was thought by these foreign
sources that the removal of Serrano
Suner may eliminate a good many

eign sources reported today that
Gen. Francisco FRANCOIS shake-up
of the Spanish government stemmed
from an internal political crisis and
they doubted that 1t would affect
SPANS policy toward the war.
The crisis apparently arose be-
cause of conflict between the Span
ish army and the Falange political
party, headed by Ramon Serrano
Suner, then foreign minister and
brother-inlaw of Franco.
The crisis was said to have come
to a head over the bombing out
rage at Bilboa three weeks ago
when a bomb tossed at a religious
meeting which was being addressed
by an army officer. About 20 per-
sons were killed.
