"Ghe WQyt G7lI3 MC7lz77"

In Europe, the Russians are still ad-
vancing, although they have not yet
succeeded in re-taking Kharkov or any
of several key-points from which the
Germans might launch offensives. How
ever, Hitler, in surprise speech late
in March, suddenly spoke of a sum-
mer" instead of Spring drive, and the
Russians insist that they have forced
the NaZis to use up so many reserves
that major German offensive now is
unlikely.
In the Middle East, the Libyan stale
mate continues, but there is a chance
that the quiet may not last much long
er. One theory often heard here is that
Hitler, if baked in Russia, may strike
at Iraq and Iran-via either Libya,
| Syria or Turkey-to replenish his de-
pleted oil supplies before tackling the
Russians again. In any case, the Allies
are rot taking any chances. and U. S.
tanks, planes and other supplies are be-
ing shipped in as fast as possible to pre-.
pare for any eventuality.-h.ef.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Spring is here
at last-the third spring of World War
II, the first of Americas full-scale par
ticipation. This is the spring that has
been dreaded in Allied quarters; the
spring that was to bring Hitler's final"
offensive on Russia. So far, it hasn't
worked out that way.
In the Pacific, what was perhaps
the most important development of the
month took place when General Doug
las Macarthur made spectacular es-
cape from Bataan and reached Aus
tralia, to take full command of the
United Nations forces in the Southwest
Pacific. AS matter of practical STRAIT
egy, the move may take months to pay
off; but from the point of view of AL
lied morale, nothing quite so important
has happened since the Russians first
threw back the Germans from Moscow.
The Jap advance. meantime, has slowed
down considerably, and things in gen.
eral look brighter than at any time since
the Pacific war began.

it had not been for those whose
