how kind Lawrence Niles is to his

hight to the end, the American and
canadian nationals aboard the
GrlpSholm were convinced.
The Nationals themselves were
sure that the United Nations will
defeat the Japanese, although they
pointed to the two long years the
Japanese have had to consolidate
the conquered countries, and pre-
dicted the battle will be bitter and
long.
None of the many persons I in
terViewed reported any evidence of
cracking japanese morale. This
they attributed partially to propa-
ganda and partially to the fact that
the homeland has not been bombed
since the Doolittle raid.
KEPT FROM MASSES
The darker side of the war is
kept fro mthe masses, even to the
extent of hospitalizing casualties in
the Philippines, China, and Malaga
rather than taking them home.
The nationals said aboardship
that the Japanese propaganda for
support has not been successful in
the Philippines or in China, but is
making some headway in Indo-
China, Malaga, and Burma. There
hae been but few reports of sabo-
tage, due to strict control exercised
over occupied territories, they said.
Some repatriates told me the
japanese have moved thousands of
their own people, both military and
civilian, into the occupied terri
tories and have taken over the re-
pair and management of all vital
industries. They have made eX-
cellent progress in increasing pro-
duction of such goods.
CONDITIONS POOR
Despite the fact the japanese
have acquired a rich empire and
have had time to develop it, how
ever, it has not resulted in any
betterment in the living standards
in the homeland or elsewhere, I
was told. Persons from Japan it
self said food rationing there is
stricter than it was a. year ago and
the only available clothing is made
from artificial material derived
from wood pulp.

An American broadcast to France,
typical of all the Allied broadcaStS,

LONDON, Dec. l CUP)-The de-

Churchill when they confer with
Premier Stalin-as Axis radios re-
port they are doing.
STRONG CARDS
Mr.. Roosevelt and Churchill,
political observers said today ap-
proach the conference table with
strong cards in their hands. Here
tofore, in international discussions
concerning prosecution of the war,
the Russians have brought with
them the almost unanSwerable
argument that their armies were
killing more Germans and doing
more damage to the Axis than all
the rest of the United Nations
cOf0DlneQ.
The Russians did not hesitate to
point this out at the Moscow con-
ferences of foreign ministers last
month and in earlier discussions
They pointed out that the Allies
had done little more than pin down
a relatively few German divisions in
Italy.
Today Mr.. Roosevelt and Church
i'll can point 10 a tremendous ac-
celeration of the war in the air by
the greatest air fleets the world
has ever seen. They can justifiably
assert that German is not only
being softened up for an Anglo
American invasion. but that her
ability to resist the Russian armies
in the east has been seriously
weakened.

By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON - If the sol- diers and sailors of World War II are fretting about the kind of peacetime America they will have to live in, they can stop it right now and start worrying about what kind of bed they want to make for this nation to sleep in for the next 30 or 40 years.
 For just about that long, say politicians here, the Soldiers vote" will be the biggest pump kin in the field.
 Using round figures, the prob lem is so elementary it wouldn't stump even the youngest political quiz kid. By the next election, there will be ten to 12 million potential veteran votes" in the armed forces. Suppose this voting body could be united on any is- sue and through family and friends could swing just two or three votes. That would be be- tween 30 and 40 million votes about 70 per cent of the greatest total popular vote ever cast in this country in national election (about 50,000,000 in the elections of 1940).
 It won't, of course, ever work out that way because the basis of democracy is difference of opinion. It will, however, work enough that way that on any is- sue on which most of the veter- ans stand united that there will be no doubt about the result.
 The pattern for the political future already is being drawn. With the next national elections 14 months away, the battle for the soldiers vote" has burst with a fury.
 When President Roosevelt an- nounced his "six points" for de- mobilization and rehabilitation, Republican opponents accused him of making a shameless" bid for the fourth term and courting the soldier vote.
 The storm didn't end there, however. Disputes have arisen over division of political time on rado b1oadcasts, especially those short-waved 10 the four or five million service voters who may
