The War

Although 1t Is evident that the war against Germany is considered at this time Of Number One impor- tanee, from the Presidents recent statement, which must have been made after careful consideration. and from the speech of Prime Min ister Churchill 1t is clear that ac- ton against Japan is not being ov- erlooked either presently or for the future. These statements are dis tinctly encouraging to those of us who consider the Japanese aggres- siye war organization with a thirst for dominance over the whole world to be just as deadly as the ambition of Hitler and his Nazis. While Mussolini is a Nazi ally, his condition is now clearly recognized as that defined by MT. Churchill of being merely "a utensil."
 Many people here who ought to be well informed believe that the German strength, while shaken in Russia. is not yet seriously impair ed, and they look at an early date for a German thrust through Spain to envelope both Spain and Portu- gal and thus attempt to endanger our position in North Africa. Un- questionably the Allies have made plans to meet this contingenyc.
