This Changing World

even more true when the armies
on the defensive have tasted an
almost unbroken chain Of VIC
tories for three years.
Allied Defeats Recalled.
The United States, Britain and
Russia were on the defensive and
suffered spectacular defeats in
the early stages Of the war.
This was inevitable because they
were prepared for an aggressive
war. The Germans on the other
hand had carefully prepared for
war. They started 1t when they
considered the moment most ia
vorable and smashed through a
number OF walls with a surprising
ease.
1t is not an exaggeration to
say that as far back as the sum-
mer OF 1912 there was not one
individual in 100000 in the Reich
who did not believe in COM
plete victory for the fatherland.
The soldiers at the front and
the people at home were con-
vinced that there could be no
hope for their enemies.
An enemy which has fed on
victories for such a long time
cannot fight a successful defen-
sive war. The United Nations
flghting men took it on the chin
for many months; they had to
accept defeat in all theaters of
opera tions from Bataan to Sing
apore, from the Channel to the
steppes Of Russia. But they be-
lieved that as soon as the tools"
were delivered in large quantities
they would be as good If not
better than their opponents.
Nazis Held Advantage.
The German soldier started the
war with every imaginable ad-
vantage on his side. Now in the
fifth year Of war he finds that
he is outnumbered, outgeneraled
and short of those war imple-
ments which he had been told
would give him sure victory.
This Is particularly true in re-
gard to aviation. The role OF the
airplane In winning the war is
still matter Of controversy
among military leaders. But they
all agree that troops which are
not properly supported by air
power have no chance of stand
ing their ground. And that is
what is happening in the Euro
pean and Pacific battle areas.
Our superiority in the air is
overwhelming. The Nazis have
barely defensive force. Under
these circumstance the American
strategists are convinced that
while there still is good deal Of
fight in the German soldier and
that We may still be faced with
some unpleasant local situations
the fate Of the Germans Is sealed
and their military defeat is in
escapable. This note can be
read between the lines Of Hitler's
Monday speech.
Evening star., 1943-11-10
the navy is the more thoroughly
Nazified Of the two forces.
Imperialism Continues.

the navy is the more thoroughly
Nazifed Of the two forces.
Imperialism Continues.
The imperialist line. from
Grand Admiral Tirpitz to Grand
Admiral Doenitz, has never been
interrupted. At time when the
German Army was conservative,
the navy was a conspiratorial
instrument for the Nazis. After
the last war officers Of the i'm
perial navy went into the mer-
chant marine, and when Hitler
came in were active in espionage
and Nazi propaganda work
through commercial agencies all'
over the world.
Out of their midst came the
chief Of German espionage,
Admiral Canaris, who was
notorious conspirator against the
Weimar Republic.
So, in this meeting, there were
three persons OF conspiratorial
experience who control a world
wide service: Goebbels, who has
had correspondents and afili-
ations everywhere; Himmler,
whose Gestapo espionage also
covers the world, and Admiral
Doenitz. DoenitZ, incidentally.
Is Hitler admiral, who had left
the navy and was reintroduced
by the Nazis, reorganized the
U-boat plans and brought in as
captains and commanders only
very young, adventurous Nazi fa-
natics and who was rapidly pro-
NOTED to head of the navy.
In the moment when a large
part of the German people. con-
template the possibility of Ger
man defeat, what other subject
could these gentlemen have been
discussing over birthday candles?
They must have spoken about
how to exploit world wide con-
nections for their own survival,
for the survival OF other NaN
leaders, and for the underground
continuation of Nazi activities
after lost war.
Speers Presence Significant.
The presence of the munitions
minister, Albert Speer, is also sig
niflcant. The technique of con-
spiracies is always to penetrate
with reliable personalities into
key positions. Disposal of NUM-
tions.is certainly a key position,
for the munitions ministry is dc
tator over the whole OF German
industry, which will one day be
converted to time activi-
ties, when it may be too late
to see that important jobs are
held by members Of the con-
spiracy. Also it is one of the
key positions in case OF civil war.
From now on we should con-
slider Nazi activities as not merely
concerned with the prosecution of
the war or the maintenance OF
the home front. The leaders
are old conspirators and know
that these are short-view con-
siderations. They also know that
after such war as this, re-
leasing explosive forces, the
future of the Nazi idea is not
merely German matter. The
Nazi theology, to survive, must
continue to keep contacts in the
world and be tied together to
,camoufaged groups inside Ger
many
A combination of propogan-
dists everywhere. we'll disguised,
of a trained spy apparatus, OF
seemingly harmless commercial
agents, and OF industrialists In
side Germany would be the per-
feet solution.

Naughty Marietta
To Be Heard Here

An elaborate presentation of VIC
tor Herbert's Naughty Marietta" at
the Roosevelt High School audito-
rum, Thirteenth and Allison streets
NV, is being planned next week by
the Columbia Light Opera Co.
Ethyl Manning, conductor, an
nounces that on Friday and satur-
day evenings, February 5 and at
$50 o'clock, the ensemble of Is
young people is to include an aug
mented chorus and orchestra, and
that special props, scenery and cos
TUNES have been designed to lend
an historical touch to the produc-
ton.
The role of Marietta, made famous
by Emma Trentini at its New York
premiere in 1910 and later popular
lied by jeanette Macdonald In a
movie version, will be sung by
jeanette Bittner, the gifted So
prano, who has been identified as
leading lady with the company for
several years.
AS her supporting partner. Miss
B1ttner will have Irving Chandler
in the role of Capt. Dick Warning
ton. Mr.. Chandler took up recently
his residence in Washington again
after an absence of two years. Be-
sides singing in the Columbia Light
Opera productions of "Katinka"
and Martha" in the recent past, he
was identified with radio and church
work. Several months ago he was
heard in the famous Passion Play"
presented at Constitution Hall and
appeared as guest soloist with the
Washington Choral Society.
Tickets for the performance are
available by mail from the Column
bia Light Opera Co., the headquar-
ters of which are located at 7os
Thirteenth street NV. The box
office at that address is open daily
from IL noon until 6 pm.

first of the National Symphony S
youth concerts. Although Levant
is five years over the age limit. he
still is very much the enfant terrible
Of the music world. radio and any
other of the various fields he hap
pens to touch.
Whether or not Levant's vitriol
is protective coloration for a highly
sensitive nature, there is no ques-
ton that there is one thing that
he does not joke about, and that Is
music. Sincerely humble about his
own attainments, Levant is never
theless treated with respect by both
his colleagues and the critical
fraternity as both pianist and COM
poser. Gershwin used to say that
Levant played Gershwin better than
he did himself. Levant's gifts as
pianist and composer have been
recognized by many of this country's
leading conductors and he has ap-
peared as soloist with the major
orchestras, as we'll as the National
Symphony, with which he appeared
for the first time during it's season
of Pop" concerts in l941. AS a
composer, he has been represented
on the programs of the Minneapolis,
Philadelphia and Rochester SYM
phony Orchestras.
1t was, of course, the radio pro-
gram, Information Please that
made Levant's name a household
word, synonymous with brashness
and an unlimited knowledge of
things musical. Before 1888, when
he joined the wise men of that
show, he had spent Is years in his
native Pittsburgh, coming to New
York to study under Sigismund
Stojowski and supporting himself
by playing for bored tots of in
children's ballet classes, playing
with dance bands, doing a bit in
the Arthur Hopkins production of
"Burlesque At the same time
Levant became the pet of celebri-
ties, what Alexander Woolcott once
called, wits Wit"
In addition to the Gershwin
works featuring Mr.. Levant's
pianism, the youthful program
committee for the initial 1880"
concert has selected Glinka's Over
ture to Russian and Ludmilla." !"
Frescobaldi's "Toccata" in the
Kinder arrangement, Debussy's

Shostakovich's Lady Macbeth of
