German Home Front Beginning
To Suffer From SHORTAGES
Meot and Fot Supplies Below Health Level;
Forced Labor Hos Kept Up Breed Production

A work week OF 90 hours Is the
minimum in factories. compared to
our average Of under "A hours. The
workmen are feeling the pressure
Of overwork. Germany Is making
frantic efforts to secure skilled
manpower from the occupied coun-
tries.
Mentally the people have re-
treated from confidence Of victory
and have fallen back on resolu-
tions OF defense. They now realize
that they are an island in q sea Of
200 900 600 invaded and starving
people who hate them with an ir-
reparable bitterness. And thus the
Germans know the dream Of the
new order In Europe has vanished.
The terrors Of aerial bombardment
and the losses In battle are having
a depressing effect on the spirit Of
the people.
That the home front Is far from
contented Is indicated by the Nazi

ings in preparation to quell civil
disturbances and by the place.

mand Of the armies over the

Offensive Still Sought.
Further degeneration cannot be
stopped. However, I do not be-
lieve the Germans will collapse
again internally at the end of
this their fourth winter in this
war. But 1t is impossible for them
to Withstand indefinitely these pres
sures on the home front.
There is, however, at once q
major reservation to this state
ment. Germany is still potent for
offensive, and she Is under ire
mendous pressures from the home
front to break somewhere the
ring which surrounds her.
The only direction she can gain
substantial relief for the home
front is to the southeast. II her
armies could effect junction with
the Japanese in the Indian Ocean
by defeat Of the United Nations in
Persia or Egypt and India, they
could open a new economic area
from which great relief would come
rubber, metals and oil.
She could get food, particularly
fats, fruit and sugar. She could
lift her whole standard Of living,
and in such an event the home
front would stiffen for an indeh-
mite number of years.
Italian People Suffering.
The Italian armies have been
so repeatedly defeated in Africa
that they have long passed their
zenith, Italy's navy has been beaten
In every first-class encounter. Her
submarines are not 50 effective as
the Germans. Her airmen have
proved inferior. Like Rumania and
Hungary she is only q military ap-
pendage to Germany.
Italy Is suffering greatly from
air raids and seems to have little
resistance. She Is short of many
materials due to the blockade. In
food, with . much lower normal
standard Of living. she Is more
nearly self-supporting than Ger
many. But with poor administra-
lion many Of her people are SUI

She has no coal or oil except such
as the Germans give to her. Her

of textiles. The winter will be
the worst she has experienced.
Thus on the home front, Italy has
degenerated more than Gefmany.
Her zeal for this war has never
been extravagant. It is weaken

OF course, this is mechanical,
