London, Jan. 28.-(UP)-Belief
hardened in well-informed British
quarters today that new and forcible
blows against the Axis, possibly
against Germany direct, would
emerge soon as the big result Of the
Casablanca conference between
President Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Winston Churchill.
The statement that the unccndi-
tional surrender Of the big Axis
powers was the aim Of the confer
ence had left no room for any more
of the peace feelers (which Ger
many has put out at various times
since the war started, and yester-
days daylight raid on Germany by
American flying fortresses was
taken, in line with the conference,
as part Of q growing feeling that
Germany ought to be hit hard and
soon even If the freeing Of Tunisia
is delayed.
Closer coordination with Russia
was expected to play a part in any
concrete offensive plans.
But 1t was said that demands for
a second front somewhere In western
Europe might be anticipated wheth-
err Russia slowed its offensive, and
thus gave Germany an unwelcome
breathing spell, or continued it and
thus gave the Allies a chance to
weaken the Germans further at a
critical time.
Partly because of German despera-
ton, there was considerable inter-
est in Spain here in connection with
North Africa. There was no rea-
son to believe that any developments
in that direction would be unfavor-
able to the Allies.
1t was known that some Of the
strongest pro-Axis Spanish generals
had been at Tangiers and in Span
ish Morocco, where Spain has con-
siderable military forces. This some
times has been the cause of specu-
lation that Hitler might try o spec
tacular counter-blow at the Allies
by attacking Gibraltar through
Spain. Observers here would not
be surprised If there were develop
ments regarding this general situa-
ton, but they said again that there
was no reason to believe the devel-
opmel1ts would be unfavorable to the

Accidents

Four types OF venlc1es-a bicycle,

neither of the passengers appeared
seriously injured. although Hawke
was treated at James Walker Me-

aroused by the Communist agita-
ton rendered impossible any con-
fident dealing with Russia in main
tanning the peace.
Still later on. that is to say after
Munich, the Russian policy was
nothing more than frantic at
tempt to buy ime prepare, and
to gain strategic advantages, for
tie inevitable war with Germany
and Japan. Only the supreme val
or of the Red armies and the in
credible exertions of the Russian
people saved the Soviets from the
tempt to buy time to prepare, and
Stalingrad - losses which would
have meant their defeat and their
destruction.
Thus Russia. too, has to alter
her policy radically - renouncing
revolutionary intervention abroad
and discarding the policy of stra-
tegic isolation.
If then, the Moscow conference
is successful, in the sense that it
portends a continuing collaboration
by Bitain, Russia, and Ameica,
and thus by all the United Nations,
the success at Moscow will be due
to the fact that all these powers
have moved away from their
rre-war theories of how to conduct
their foreign policy.
