today.
The Royal Air Force lombard

hours after United States Flying
Fortresses and Liberator bombers
had blasted the Nazi submarine
base at st. NaZaire. France.
Three British bombers were re-
ported missing from the Ruhr OPP
eration.--------
In a broadcast by the Berlin
radio the Germans stated that
residential quarters of town in
the Ruhr area" were damaged.
They claimed some British bomb
ers were shot down but gave no
figure.
u. S. FLIERS SUCCEED
The st. Nazaire assault was
termed one of the most successful
against that enemy base. The tar
get area was plastered with heavy
bombs, and considerable damage
was wrought.
A report from one Flying Fort
ress station somewhere in England
said that one group of American
fiiers downed "a Nazi fighter
planes which rose to intercept
them.
United States Army Air Force
headquarters acknowledged the
loss of seven bombers over ST.
NaZaire.
Bursts were seen In the tar

started" the communique said.

that 300 Royal Air Force fighters
participated in large-scale Often

Middle Phase,

THE YEAR 1913 ought 10
be a better l. months for the
United States and her Allies
than 1912.
Axis power has reached
what is probably It's all-trme
high water mark and now
seems certain, considered as
a whole, 70 recede
But not the slightest justi-
hcation exists for the belief
which many Americans seem
10 entertain that 1913 will
mark the collapse of Ger
many, Japan and their allies
and the wars end.
Such a happy development
may come as the result of
revolutions against Hitler and
Hirohito. Revolutions in des-
potic states are always a pos
sibility, but they are as
unpredictable as the thunder
showers Of next July.
Not a fragment of evidence
supports the premise that
either Japan or Germany is
ripe for revolt against the
highly armed castles that at
present control their destinies.
TAKING ALL known mill
tary facts into consideration,
the prediction that l943 will
represent not a final phase Of
the war but the beginning of
its second period would seem
reasonably safe.
In l943 United Nations
power will begin to assume
the offensive and make a
start at putting on the pres
sure, whereas Axis nations
stand on the defensive as a
whole, outstanding their re-
sources and making offensive
thrusts only occasionally.
IN 1943, also, the United
States will begin to possess a
modern mass army on the
continental scale.
BY the end of the year
army authorities hope to have
more than 100000 trained
men, or nearly as many as
Germany and japan combined.
Large sections of this force
seem certain to see combat
on a large scale on one or
more fighting fronts this year.
When they do, it will be
the first major American mill
tary action since the Argonne
in 1918.
All the battles fought by
American forces in the pres
'ent war have been minor in
size, although often of stra-
tegic importance.
THE YEAR just ushered
In, therefore, promises 10 be
the first about trial OF
strength of the giant Ameri-
can republic with its adver-
ssries across the Atlantic and
Pacific.
That our strength is enor-
nous, far greater than that
of any other nation, goes
without saying.
But the job of learning 10
apply our strength is not
simple.
A tremendous mass OF mill
tary problems and problems
Of supply must be worked out
before We can put our enor-
nous fighting power on The
line al battlefronts from 3 1000
miles distant 10 twice as far
from our home shores.
Attack on these problems
constitutes l943's first task.

war wrath to cool before any
definite peace move is at
tempted. Mr.. Hoover did not
say so, but what he means
by "a long cooling off period"
is a term of many years, at
least, 10.
In some public statements
since the war started, Mr..
Roosevelt is supposed to have
intimated, or directly said, he
would favor a long armistice
period of perhaps a year.
But no one around the
White House can recollect the
exact occasion, and possibly it
was an eff-the-reeerd ebserva-
ton dropped at a press con-
ference. At least, there seems
to be nothing on the record
to impede FDR in seeking
adoption Of a quick peace
formula if he chooses.
IF Mr.. ROOSEVELT has a
/ plan, he is the only person
in the world apparently who
has one. While arguments
have been started on every
street corner in the land by
mention of the subject, and an
endless stream Of words have
poured forth from propaganda
promohonal groups, no one,
including Mr.. Wallace, has
publicly suggested a formula.
No one can work out a solid
basis for peace until condi-
tions at the end of the war
are apparent. For instance,
one condition-perhaps the
biggest condition in develop
ing any economic formula for
the future world-will be the
little mentioned debt of S10,-
600. 100000 TO $50, 1000, 100000
which will be owed us by
Britain, Russia and China.
The last official figure of the
debt was S7,496,0 100000 on
last November 80, represent
ing the value of goods and
services already gone to our
Allies up TO then. Congress
has made total lend-lease au-
thorizationS amounting to
$50, ,526, $50, 900, and the debt
may reach the top figure if
the war tracks on.
The size Of this debt will
largely determine how it can
be repaid, and whether it can
be repaid. While the agree
ments have not been made
public, congressman who have
looked into the matter say
they are loosely drawn in
obvious preparation for re-
consideration Of the whole
subject at the end.
THE peace will be made, not
i by Mr.. Roosevelt or Mr..
Wallace, or by the American
people, but by Roosevelt,
Churchill and Stain, repre-
senting divergent and conflict
ing popular Russian, British
and American opinions.
