UNCONDITIONAL TERMS ARE ACCEPTED
War in Final Phase,
 New Offensives Will
 Bring Allied vidory

WASHINGTON, Sept. B. Gen. eral George c. Marshall Chief of Staff of the United States Army reports that the war has entered it's final phase-a mounting series of Allied offensives which will end only with the absolute defeat of the Axis.
 Avoiding any prediction as to how long the war will last, but with complete assurance that final vic- tory is to come" General Marshall submitted to Secretary of War Henry L. Stimson his biennial re- port, sketching the nations tran sition from unpreparedness in 194l to power now unprecented with vic tories being chalked up on every front.
 General Marshall began his re- port with the early signs of Japan csc aggression, saying he was never in doubt as to their purpose, but was helpless to reinforce the Phil ippines because the soldiers and ma chimes did not exist
 Increase Blows
 The war has now reached a final phase which involves the launching of Allied military power against our enemies in increasing blows" he said.
 Regarding the Pacific war, the General said the Japanese were checked in the Battle of the Coral Sea, stopped in the Battle of Mid- way, and the invasion of the Sol omons by our forces sent the Jap on the defensive. The destruction of Jap air power and shipping con- 5inues on a remarkable scale.
 Marshall revealed that there twas a desperate effort to reinforce the Philippines months before the Japs struck at the islands. He said 35 Flying Fortresses were sent to the islands and the Philippine Scouts WCiO dOQbiCO III oUl CllSbll TlBllOtl planes, anti-aircraft guns and am- munition were sent along with 100 light tanks.
 Big Problem
 Few transports were then avail able and passenger ships were shift ed to the run. Eleven troopships and 12 cargo ships were scheduled to run to the Philippines between November II and December g. Six troopships and nine cargo ships were at sea when the Japs struck Four troopships returned to tic United States and the others made it to Australia. All but one cargo vessel made a Friendly port.
 He said that in the desperate ef- fort to save Bataan, IS blockade runners were sunk or captured

ARGENTINA DENIED ANY
 LEND-LEASE

WASHINGTON, Sept. 8-Secre- tary of State Cordell Hull brusquely turned down an Argentine bid for lend-lease on the ground Argentina has failed to take a share in pro- tecting the New World from aggres- sion.
 The note was delivered to Foreign Minister Segunda Strom in Buenos Aires.
 Secretary Hull bluntly pointed out that the United States is at war and must allocate military supplies where they will be used most ef- fectively for defense of the Western Hemisphere.
 The Secretary of State suggested that the Government of President Pedro Ramirez "has indicated clear ly that Argentina's armed forces will not under present conditions, be used in a manner designed to for ward the security of the New World"

The w ashington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tma,or Robert s. Allen on active dut,J

WASHINGTON = Insiders W have talked with both Secretary Hull and his ex-Undersecretary' Sumner Welles, report that asloe from jealousy of the old for the young. their basic difference gets down to Soviet Russia and future plans for peace.
 Hull long has been anti-Russian. Welles has long argued that we must work with Russia = even though we don't agree with her ideoIogy-if we are to win the peace
 Hull climaxed his anti-Russian attitude by placing in charge Of his peace-planning group, Leo Pasvol- sky. a bitter anti-Soviet.
 You don't hear much about Pas volsky around Washington, but he happens to be one of MT. Hulfs closest advisers. Born in Russia, Pasyolsky was the last secretary to Kerensky's Ambassador Boris Bak-. hmeteff. Pasvolsky formerly edited the Russian Review in New York, later a daily Russia paper called Russkoye Slovo, which was anti- Soviet, and after various research studies, became adviser to MT. Hull
 When Pasvolsky's plans for new world begged down, Welles diplo- matically maneuvered so that the President appointed larger peace planning group, including Johns Hopkins Professor Isaiah Bowman
 But the basic difference between Hull and Welles in dealing With Russia has continued. And that Is why it may be futile for Welles to undertake a mission to Moscow with Foreign Minister Eden. For any plan he works out with the Russians would almost certainly meet with vigorous opposition from Hull the minute Welles got home.
 RUSSIAN PROBLEMS
 Here are the chief problems which will have to be threshed out with Stalin by whoever goes to Russia:
 IA second front. This was pub licIy pledged at Casablanca, and the Russians blame Churchill because the pledge has not been kept. They think Roosevelt wanted the second front, but that Churchill insisted that it be undertaken largely by American rtoops.
 2-The large number of British troops in Palestine, Mesopotamia and the Near East. The Russians think this is to block them from

The capture of fiercely defended Stalino by the Russians is acknow- ledged today by the Germans, re- storing the last of the great indus trial cities in the Donets Basin to the Red Army which has already won back two thirds of the Ukraine's rich grain lands.
 The Red Army has advanced also and crossed the rail line to Mariu- pol, 65 miles southwest of Stalino on the Sea of Azov, making it almost certain that the Nazi force, fighting east of that town, must withdraw to escape entrapment by the south ward
 Other Russian units are reported to have severed the main railroad from the Donets Basin to Dnirper- opetrovsk, 115 miles east of Stalino.
