at the gates of Alexandria. and the
U-boats were at the height of their
power in the Atlantic, it was still
impossible for Japan to take the
offensive, even against India, Au-
stralia, Siberia, Alaska, Hawaii
certainly not against continental
United States. They have been
able to do nothing for Hitler as he
is being driven out of Russia, out
of the Mediterranean and off the
Atlantic Ocean.
Actions speak louder than words,
and the Japanese actions prove
beyond any reasonable doubt that
their war was a gamble on a Nazi
victory in Europe, and that they
knew that when Hitler failed to
win in Europe, they had lost their
bet. The real feelings of the Jap
anese about the Nazis and of the
Nazis about the Japanese must be
unprintable.
The japanese war has been from
beginning to end a parasite upon
the Axis war in Europe. Japan
single-handed could never con-
ceivably have challenged China,
the Netherlands, Britain, France,
Russia and the United States. 1t
was the defeat of France, the NOR
tai peril of Britain, the deep Ger
man invasion of Russia and the
unpreparedness and ambiguity OF

The Filipino. named Jose o.
Laurel, whom the japanese have
just set up as President of the
Philippines, can hardly hope 20
be as notorious as Quisling,
Laval and Mussolini For the
European traitors did at least go
over to the enemies of their coun-
try at time when there was
reasonable prospect of making
their treason pay; they rated
when Germany had better than an
even chance of winning the war.
But Japan can have no hope
whatever, and nothing is more alb
solutely certain in this world than
that the American forces will re-
turn to the Philippines. Mr.. Laurel
and those who collaborate with
him will, therefore, have been
singularly stupid if they have not
already made their arrangements
to escape.
The certainty Of Japan's defeat
is not, however, fully realized by
every one even in this country.
Yet the japanese themselves have
proved by their own acts that they
have no hope of victory. The proof
is in the fact that they have stood
still for more than a year without
ttacking Great Britain, Russia
or the United States. Even when
Hitler was in Stalingrad, Rommel

STRONG FIGHTER

furt Leaves Big Plant
Inactive

LONDON, Oct. 17.-(P)-A strong
force of fighter planes winged
agross the English channel IN
the clear, rain-washed air of ear
ly evening tonight and shortly af-
terward Nazi anti-aircraft fire
could be heard from northern
France.
(Nazi radios at Luxembourg
and Berlin went off the air. The
Federal Communications Commits
sion reported, indicating that
bombers might be among the at
tackers. Heavy rain had blocked
operations during the day, but the
sky cleared later, the British ra-
dio said)
Describing the results of new
study of damage heaped on the
Schweinfurt ball and roller bear
ing plant by American bombers
Thursday, Brig. Gen. Frederick
L. Anderson said today that .'the
entire works are now inactive"
"It may be possible for the
Germans eventually to restore Is
per cent of normal productive ca
pacity, but even that would re-
quire some time" said the COM
mander of the U. S. Eighth Air
Force Bomber Command.
Gen. Anderson made the state
ment following a detailed study of
reconnaissance photographs which
revealed 'even more extensive
destruction and damage than was
first estimated from strike pic
lures taken when the target was
covered with smoke from fires
and bursting bombs
The statement described the
plant as "the most vital air tar
get in all Germany"
It said the raid, made at cost
of go American bombers during
which at least 1O2 Nazi fighters
were shot from the skies, left fires
raging throughout three plant
areas, burning out not only fac
tories but stores and dispatch
buildings as WE'LL"

CROSS NEAR KIEV
Russian Army Cuts Behind
Dnepropetrovsk In
River Bend
WITHDRAWAL IS NOTED
Hitler's Spokesman Say
Big Detaching Move
ment' Made

LONDON, Oct. 17.-(P)-
Russian troops, cutting be-
hind Dnepropetrovsk inside
the Dnieper river bend,
smashed ahead Is miles on a
28-mile front today, and also
made a new crossing of the
Dnieper between Kiev and
Gomel, Moscow announced
tonight.
The communique, recorded
by the Soviet monitor from a
broadcast, disclosed that the
entire German Dnieper line
was threatened with collapse
as the Russians ripped new
gaping holes in it, and in
flicted staggering losses on
German troops still counter
attacking for the fifth day in
the streets OF MelltopOl, gate
way to the Crimea.
Germany's high command
communique spoke of a "big
detaching movement" on the
Eastern front - the first
time that phrase has been
used since the Russians
reached and crossed the Dni-
eper.
Reports Conflicting
1t said most of the Russian
assaults northwest of Dneprope.
trovsk had been repulsed, but a
later Berlin broadcast recorded
by the Associated Press said that
the Russians were using 5000
men, supported by hundreds Of
Tanks, guns and planes on that
single sector of the front.
The 15-mile Russian break
through beyond the Dnieper's west
bank was declared made between
Kremenchug and Dnepropetrovsk
and the communique said five
German strongpoints fell to the
Red army after two days of hea-
Wy fighting.
This large-scale Russian smash
was an obvious attempt to trap
hundreds of thousands of Ger
mans inside the Dnieper loop and
in the Crimea. It also gave indi-
rect aid to Red army forces bat
ting inside Melitopol, far to the
southeast.
The battle of Melitopol was
one of the great attrition engage
ments of the war with tremendous
stakes involved, Moscow dispat-
ches said. and the Soviet radio
said Adolf Hitler had ordered his
tt oops to hold that strategic gate
way to the Crimea and the Dnie-
per under penalty of death"
Smashing across the Dnieper at
new point. the Red army pene-
trated six miles beyond the rivers

Allied menace to Germany's back

Istanbul dispatches said it was

lands in the western Aegean, first
reported on October 7, took place
on the island of Anaphe and an
