People for News Of
Defeat in Russia
Dispatches Stress Great
Difficulties in East and
Appeal to Home Front
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Jan. 25.-Dis-
patches from Berlin indicated today
that the Nazi press is preparing the
German people for news of a great
defeat on the Russian front.
Articles in leading German news
papers, these dispatches said, en-
phasized the great difficulties con-
fronting Hitler's armies in the East,
and the Boersen Zietung went so
far as to declare that "for the first
time in this war Germany faces re-
verses of a certain Importance"
Editorials warned the people that
weakness on the home front forced
Germany to capitulate" in 1918, and
told them they must work more
and endure more" because "a lost
war is a lost future"
Rome once was in danger of her
life when threatened by Hannibal,
but she triumphed," the Boersen
zietung said. England has with
stood a serious reverse, even a ca
tastrophe. The Germans will prove
they are spiritually stronger than
the English
Dispatches from Bern said the
Berlin correspondent OF the Swiss
newspaper Die Ttat described the
German communique of January
21-23 as "the most pessimistic ever
issued by the Fuehrer's head
quarters"
The correspondent added that al
though 1t would be erroneous to
overestimate temporary defeats to-
day, 1t has been made clear to the
people that overcoming the present
military situation will place excep-
tionally hard demands on the home
front"

for breaking with the Axis and
praised the "skillful leadership OF
the Russians which brings such
resounding victories on the frozen
Steppes."
The former envoy then turned tc
the suit of the Government against
the Associated Press. in which
monopoly is charged He said:
