have come home from Moscow car
rying with them Russia's consent to
join us in recognizing Badoglio.
So, the Russians cheerfully gave
us this great triumph week be-
fore the Moscow talks were sched-
uled to begin. 1t will be an old
triumph, an out-of date triumph
by the time the Moscow meeting
starts. We will need other triumphs
to make the meeting look like a
success.
Borders Not Subject.
The only sharp note has been
Russia s abrupt declaration (through
a Pravda editoriaD that the question
Of Russia's borders is not open for
discussion. any more than is the
question of the boundaries Of Cali
fornia.
RAssia has hooked us on our own
stated policy that border questions
should be postponed until after the
war. so that, in refusing to discuss
boundaries, Russia can say that she
Is adopting our position.
That further peels down the agen-
da, until with growing uncomfort-
able awareness we begin to see that
the hard core Of what remains on
the conference table is the question
of the second front.
Izvestia, over the week end, had ar
editorial which proved. to my mind
that the strategy of solving or post
poning every question except that
of the second front Is a deliberate
one.
1t was mellow editorial, written
almost in the mood Of one humming

This Changing World

be taking advantage of the situ-
alton. A very brisk trade Is
going on between Japan and
Southeastern China which nor
mally Is under the control OF
Chungking. Some OF the raw
materials available there, such as
tungsten, are being snapped for
Japanese-manufactured Junk and
the shelves of the stores are well
stocked with all kinds of necessi-
ties of life.
Japanese agents in the guise Of
seamen circulate freely through
the region. And while the Chi
nese commanders acknowledge
the overlordship Of the general
issimo-nominally at least-they
are doing exactly what they
want to. Maj. Gen. Claire L.
Chennault, commander of the
14th Air Force, who is the most
popular of the American officers
with the Chinese war lords, enjoys
vast amount of personal repu-
tation and prestige. But he is
having difficult time obtaining
real cooperation from these gen.
erals. AL his requests for sup
port in the shape of construction
of roads or other facilities for his
aviation are received sympathetic
cally, but nothing is ever done
about them.
Difficult to Rule.
Outside the Chungking area,
which is under the immediate
control Of Chang, it is difficult
for the generaissimo to impose
his will on the generals who are
some distance away. These men,
who are still faithful to the old
Chinese ideologies and do not
think that western democratic
ideas are applicable to China,
are looking at the present war in
the same manner as they have
been regarding the civil wars in
China.
That is to say, they are willing
to throw their lot wherever there
is the maximum profit for them
selves.
Chang, Of course, realizes the
situation. He believes a deter
mined Allied drive might alter
the picture particularly if the
carrot" at the end Of the drive is
an immediate rush Of manufac-
tured products into China.
Unless an offensive is made,
he fears China's war effort will
peter out. There is no question of
separate peace, but only that he
may be compelled to fight his
compatriots who are grouyad In

peace OF the United Nations
which eventually may be worked
out and submitted to the United
States Government and the gov
ernments Of the other nations
through their constitutional
processes. 1t merely will be an
effective way of handling a situ-
alton.
The American and British
naval forces today are working
together in an eff1tive manner
in the prosecution of the war.
The highest praise is accorded to
this cooperation by officials of
both nations. At present the
sphere in which the American
naval forces are in reality in
command are in the Western
Atlantic and the Pacific Oceans.
The command Is accorded the
British In the Eastern Atlantic,
the Mediterranean and the
Indian Oceans. There is no
reason, it is argued, that such an
arrangement cannot be carried
forward after hostilities are con-
cluded. Indeed, 1t Is said, such
a plan could be made entirely
effective with the naval staffs Of
both nations acting in concert as
they now do.
Postwar Work Stressed.
There will be a great deal to
do, in all probability, after the
war ceases to maintain peace and
order in those parts Of the world
which have been overrun and
decimated by the war itself. The
world is not going to be made
over in day, or even a year,
after the last shot has been fired
and the Axis powers have been
conquered.
In any such arrangement Rus
sia will, it is said, Of course be
consulted. There is no DISPOSE
tion on the part of either America
or Great Britain to ignore the
Soviet Union. Indeed, quite the
contrary. The cooperation of
Russia is earnestly desired. Rus
sia will have her hands full i'm
mediately after the war with do
mestic rehabilitation in the great
stretches Of her territory that
have been war torn, and with the
internal affairs of Eastern Europe.
China, too, will be given every
consideration. The American and
British navies, it is argued, will
be strong, going concerns, with

ITALY:
Fight for Rome

Beating forward to Rome, Allied
armies ran into what appeared to
be the Germans first stiff defense
line across southern Italy.
In taking up their new positions,
the Germans entrenched themselves
on the north bank Of the Volturno
river on the western coast, and
along the open, narrow plain on the
eastern coast. Between the two
coasts, their troops dug into the rug
ged mountains.
In all the line ran 125 miles across
Italy. Allied Generals Montgomery
and Clark brought up reinforce
ments for the first thrust at the enc
my's new positions, while U. S. and
British airmen pounded German
supply routes leading to the front.
Observers kept one eye cooked on
the Balkans, where German and
British units were fighting for small
islands in the Aegean sea, from
which an invasion fleet moving into
Greece or Jugo-Slavia could be
bombed.

SOUTHWEST PACIFIC:
Jan Posts Crurnble

The japanese position in the Solo
mons and New Guinea is slowly
crumbling. With the Allies holding
the advantage in sea and air
strength, the Japs have found it in
creasingly difficult to supply their
distant outposts, and latest in the
group to be abandoned was Kolorn-
bangara in the Solomons.
Unable to use big cargo or naval
vessels because they would become
easy prey for the superior Allied
sea and air forces, the Japs are
continuing to rely on barges for sup
plying their advanced bases, and,
as in the case of Kolombangara,
evacuating men. Operated at night,
these barges are hidden along the
seashores by day.
In New Guinea, the Allies beat
back light patrols guarding the APP
proaches to Madang, Jap air and
shipping base on the northeast coast.
The Allies were skirting the enc
my's main defenses in a wide, cir
cling movement, to fall on the base
from the rear in much the same pat
tern as their conquests of Lac and
FinSchafen. .

"The army air forces" says the
general, "are now attacking the en-
envy on ten different fronts through
out the world. Their victories,
wherever they come in contact with
the enemy, testify to the gallantry
and skill of American pilots and
crews, to the mechanical efficiency
of the planes and to the leadership
of General Arnold and (the
other commanders)."
History of the War
Go through General Marshall's
dramatic history of the war to date
and you will see again and again
how the Allied air might has gradu-
ally risen from the days in the
''first phase" when, as the general
says, "on all fighting fronts we were
in a desperate situation due to
lack of material" into the "later
phase" when in the southwest Pa
cifc, "air superiority was demon
strated by loss ratio of four to
one in our favor" until today when
''the combined American British
bomber offensive against the conti-
nent of Europe gives promise of be-
ing a decisive factor in the ultimate
destruction of the German citadel"
Now that the Allies are in posses
sion of the Foggia air bases in Italy,
we can reach what the President de-
scribed as the area of Germany
hitherto 'invulnerable. We are
nearer the southern German cities
now than the air force in the British
Isles is to many Of the cities against
which it has hurled it's most devas-
tating blows, and those cities OF
southern Germany and Austria,
hitherto "safe" are now as ''vulner-
able" as the cities of the Rhine and
Ruhr, as Hamburg and Cologne.
The war is not over. The fighting
potential of the German army, in
number of men, equipment, general
ship, supplies, and morale is as high
as ever. But as I sat in the Senate
Office building and heard the pre-
diction, "the collapse of Germany
may come at any time" my mind
went back to the anxious faces, the
nervous inquiries, that came to me
the day that Britain and France de-
clared war and I waited to leave
Berlin where I had been broadcast
ing to America.
The greatest fear of the average
German then was the fear of Amer
lean participation in the war. We
couldn't, the stupid leaders believed,
"get there in time if we wanted to-"
They didn't guess we would come
via the skyways. Now they know.
(Note: To anyone wishing COM
pIete copy Of the "record which
Americans will never forget" which

eral Marshall's fine, soldierly rec
