SAME OLD TRICK
(San Diego Union)

NSdn bleSO OilOlj
There need be nothing surprising about
the report attributed to Dutch author
tiles, telling how German military lead
ers are plotting to overthrow Hitler and
Immediately open negotiations for peace.
They have done it before and it has been
freely predicted that they will do it
again.
The current report, while logical and
true to German form, may, at the same
time, be a trial balloon. 1t may be a bit
of clever Nazi propaganda designed to
obtain Allied reaction to the general idea
of an armistice. If it is and the Allies
fall for it, then in all probability Hitler
would be made to disappear quickly and
the "Prussian" generals would come for
ward with plan or a suggestion. If,
on the other hand, the report is officially
ignored, which it should' be, they may
endure the insufferable fuehrer awhile
longer and continue their resistance.
Regardless of which category into
which the report might be placed, it is
certain that tremendously dramatic
situation obtains inside Germany. The
prospects of a NaZi victory certainly
were the prospects of German victory
in 1918. 1t now is question OF how long
the military feels it can hold out and, at
the same time, save the army.
The latter consideration is uppermost
in the mind of every German general
save the army. For regardless of what
the arnistice or peace terms may be;
regardless of what reparations may be
imposed, the prime consideration OF the
Prussian military leaders is to save the
army or at least a strong nucleus so that
it NAV fight another day.

A new ALASKA

Alaska has been transformed from
vast unknown region into a military fort
ress from whence our troops are ready
to strike at the Japanese.
Within the short space of time since
Pearl Harbor the northern territory of
the United States has come into its own.
A great new highway has been COM
pleted, running from the network of
roads in the States to the tundra of the
far north While it is now being used
exclusively to transport military goods
it will not be long before it will become
the main artery between the territory
and the homeland
Militarily Alaska is very important.
1t. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner jr.
struck a nice-sounding chord when he
said: I'VE are on (Alaska) the shortest
road to Tokyo"
Planes bases in the Aleutian island, off
the coast Of Alaska, have already been
sent over the Japs' naval base at Para
mushiro. Other air blows from the area
may be expected at any time.
Through military development a vast
new land. One good coming about from
this war is that we are realizing our own
potentialities.
A new Alaska is being born.

IT'S DIFFICULT TO BE
CONTINUALLY OPTIMISTIC

It's difficult to keep a continual glow
of optimism when a person encounters
such phrases as ''the positions were won
at heavy cost in the news of the day.
Sure our side is gong 10 win. But the
day that we Americans at home realize
that it's not going to be easy. the job
remaining to be done may be accom-
plished lot faster and lot less dearly.
A month ago it appeared that a quick
conquest of Italy was going to be possible.
Many Americans had visions of the Nazis
being driven out of all of the Italian
peninsula, another land front opened in
France or other occupied countries. Some
saw the European war completed by
Christmas.
But our armies are stalled south of
Rome. Even when Little Rommel" line is
finally broken, as it surely will oe. there
is the prospect of fighting many more
pitched battles against determined and
well-organized rear-guard units of the
Nazis. Then there will be more defense
lines drawn up by the enemy and they
will eventually be pierced by our forces
But all at precious price.
Allied military leaders have constant
ly warned against expecting a quick and
easy victory. Losses will be heavy. they
have said. Nevertheless. many of our
people have gone about their business
with their heads in the clouds, expecting
victory as gift.
It's long way off yet.
How can we at home help? There are
many ways-buying bonds building
planes, planting larger crops. There
are a thousand and one jobs that must
be done in order to give our men every
possible advantage.
Words on paper, penned by men accom-
panying our troops as they advance, tell
the story very eloquently. Heed them.
