mAny'S weaknesses.
The Reich has numerous such
ailments. Most Of them are long

of human endurance and credulity,
the steady disorganization Of civil

Should Hitler win, should his
armies open new sources Of human

increase his prestige with the ma

still support him, and permit him to
concentrate his attention on domes-
tic affairs, the weaknesses may all
be overcome. Time Is the Fuehreris
most potent enemy.
SyStem Not Yet Proved.
National Socialism has not yet
demonstrated that 1t Is q workable
system. It is still in the process of
being established, q process which
exposes the emotionally and intel
lectually exhausted German to al
most daily new jars and jolts. BY
its very nature Naziism can have
no rivals for the interests or allie
glance Of the people. It can brook
no interference from any quarter.
That is the picture in general
terms. Specifically, it explains the
continued prosecutions Of the church,
which faces certain extinction If
Hitler wins. It is the key to the
progressive liquidation Of every or
ganization outside the party scope.
It is the clue to the "aiiment" Of
the generals.
Police Force Far Undermined.

Responsibility for
PHYSICAL Fitness

The "toughening up" period has
arrived in the United States now
that we are at war, John B. Kelly
told members Of the Womans Ma
tional Democratic Club at lunch
con meeting yesterday at club head
quarters.
Mr.. Kelly, who is director Of phys
lcal fitness Of the ONCE Of Civilian
Defense, asserted that both the jap
anese and Germans have a head
start on this country in physical
fitness.
There aren't 10 per cent Of our
boys who can swim the quarter mile
that the Japanese can," he sa1d.
"The German is a tough, well-condi-
toned athlete. True, all the humor
has been taken out Of him. He Is
bestial but that's the kind Of ma
chine we're up against"
The speaker included the women
In his denunciation of national
physical weakness and provoked
considerable laughter as he spoke OF
the women who "eat, drink and
spread"
A campaign to improve the physi-
cal welfare Of young Americans was
scheduled to start last night with
the opening Of IS schools for poten-
tfal draftees, offering a six-week
course of physical education, accord
Ing to the speaker. The course will
include such exercises as climbing
and swimming and will "save the
Army a month Of training" MIR.
Kelly declared.
Mrs. w. Meade Fletcher, jr., chair
man of the Information Hour Com
mittee, presided at the luncheon.
The speaker was introduced by Mrs.
Ocie Heady.

cratic League; Mrs. Lewis Moore,

BY DAVID M. NICHOL,
Correspondent H.,iT e The H.s: Sssr and chisss'
Current in Berlin last fall was the
story of the optimist and the pessi-
mist who met on the street.
''Well," said the optimist, previ-
ously most cheerful about the pros
poets, I'm afraid we're going to lose
the war"
"Of course" said the pessimist,
"but when?"
Sixteen months earlier, when I
first arrived In the Third Reich's
capital the circulation Of such IN
episode would have been impossible.
There was an atmosphere Of conf
dence, Of certainty. France had
been defeated In an incredibly short
time. England. at Dunkerque. had
brushed as close to disaster Is the
British Empire has ever come. Night
after night the Luftwaf1e was rain
ing down its terror on London and
on every industrial center Of any
Importance. But England did not
fall.
Turns Southward With Spring.
Winter came. Weather hampered
airplanes \and submarines alike.
Hitler talked of spring, and the
horrors he would loose. But spring
arrived. and the Nazi might turned
south into Yugoslavia and Greece,
leaped to Crete, and then began its
fearsome march into Russia.
I'VE win wonderful Victories" one
German said, but we haven't
beaten England, and until We do
the war will not be ended"
Victory communiques often are the
sugar on the pills. A year ago Ger
many should have reduced its meat
rations sharply, but the police told
the economic authorities they would
not take responsibility for what
might result. For q week after the
assault on Yugoslavia there was no
news Of importance. Then ON Sun
day afternoon the loudspeakers
blared the trumpet calls five times.
Germany had again achieved the
impossible. Two or three days later
the Nazi public first learned that
tho veal chop and wurst quota would
be cut 20 per cent.
Morale Dips Further.
Since June, when every family In
Germany has lost Q relative or
friend, since December, when the
advance Of the Russians had to be
admitted, this civilian morale has
dipped even more sharply. It Is i'm
