.Churchi|I'5 Talk Hints
Allied Move 10 Gain
Air Bases in Russia
Meeting With StoIin May
Have That Purpose,
Observers Believe
By The Associated Press

After studying Prime Minister
Churchill's speech, diplomatic OBJ
servers expressed the opinion last
night that Britain and the United
States may try to prevail on Joseph
Stain to grant the use of Russian
air bases for an onslaught on Japan.
These sources, said this might well
be the purpose of the meeting which.
Mr.. Churchill said. he and President
Roosevelt hope to arrange with
Stain and Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek of China
This opinion was admittedly based
solely on the Churchill text and not
on any information about what MI
Churchill and the President have
been discussing in their current
conferences But it was noted that
Mr.. Churchill told Congress that the
objective of bombing Japan holds
high place" in the current talks.
Davies May Bear Invitation.
The Churchill speech came as
former Ambassador Joseph E.
Davies arrived in Moscow with a
letter from Mr.. Roosevelt to Stain.
The letters contents are closely
guarded secret, but there have been
persistent reports that it invites
the Soviet commander in chief to a
conference.
In the new speculation, it was
suggested that some such proposal
as this might be made to Stain:
If We throw most of our might
against Germany in a second Euro
pean front, We must protect our
selves in the Pacific against Japa-
neSe consolidation of a strong posi-
ton there"
Whether Stain would accept the
invitation was believed to depend
on the advantages Russia might
gain against Germany in the West
from her involvement in the East
whether Stain would consider a
second front against Germany worth
the risk of entering the war against
Japan.
Nearby Bases Needed.
Devastating air attacks on Japan
/ OF the same scale as in Europe would
require bases much closer to that
country than those now available
, Bases within easy bombing range of
japanese objectives lie in the Soviet
Far East, particularly on the Kam-
chatka Peninsula.
1T is the duty of those charged
with the direction of the war to
overcome at the earliest moment the
military, geographical and political
difficulties and begin the process
so necessary and desirable-of lay
ing the cities and other munition
centers of Japan in ashes Mr.,
Churchill said.
That passage was considered high
ly significant since the geographical
difficulty of bombing Japan is the
lack Of nearby bases and one of the
political difficulties. if not the only
one, is the fact that the Soviet
Union is not at war against Japan

Rome Radio Says Speech
'Reossured' Italians

NEW YORK, May 20 (P,.-The
Rome radio said in broadcast re-
corded by NBC last night that Prime
Minister Churchills speech yester-
day completely reassured the
Italian people that there will be no
invasion of the continent"
You always know the Italian
broadcast said, that when the
British are silent, they have some
thing up their sleeves. When they
boast and cite figures, you can figure
that they are about so per cent cor
rect, but Wnen Churchill comes right
out and tells you that he is going to
bomb, burn and invade, you can rest
assured that We will do no such
thing
This version of the meaning be-
hind Mr. Churchill's address was
attributed to an Italian propaganda
who calls himself "Paolo Kirkpat-

Attempt 10 Crush
Axis by Bombings
Seen by Observers
Failure of Churchill
To Mention Invasion
Held Siqnificont
BY the Associated Press.

bS lne hSSOCldlcu fIcSS.
The possibility that Allied military
leaders are trying to shatter Europe
so completely by aerial lombard
ment alone that the long threatened
invasion may amount to little more
than an occupation of Frustrated
enemy countries was read into Prime
Minister Churchill's speech by some
observers today.
A furry of speculation was stirred
up by two remarks made by Mr.
Churchill, who omitted any direct
reference to the long discussed in
vasion. He said Cd it was worth
trying" to bring about a collapse in
Germany and Italy by air power
alone, and t2) the Allies must do
everything sensible and practicable
to divert Axis strength from the
Russian front.
In view of the devastation wrought
in Germany and occupied Europe
by recent round-the clock bombings
chief interest in Official Washington
centered around what seemed to be
a hint that the cherished theory OF
pure air power" enthusiastic VIC
tory by air alone-was being put to
the test
"Opinion is divided" Mr.. Churchill
said, "as to whether the use of all
power could by itself bring about
collapse in Germany or Italy.
The experiment is we'll worth
trying, SO long as other means are
not excluded"
While informed persons agreed
that this seemed to bode an even
greater scale of bombing than any
thing yet seen, and to reflect gen.
orally heightened estimate of the
value of strategic bombing, they
were skeptical of any deduction that
invasion by ground troops would be
withheld or even delayed.
More likely, they suggested, the
Allied high command knows that
the problems of invasion will be
enormously simplifled by calculated
destruction beforehand, and may
hope that the ground forces. when
, they do invade the Continent, viii
find a demOraliZed foe
Observers were reluctant to infer
from the Prime Minister'S cautious
phrasing of sensible and prac-
ticable" moves to divert German
attention from Russia any hedging
on second front plans. Two possible
explanations were suggested fol
avoiding discussion of an invasion
a desire to keep the enemy guess
ing" and the possibility that large
operations are so near that Mr.
Churchill thought it wiser not tc
give out any hints.
Whether or not the all-out aeria
offensive produces collapse or CON-
plete decentralization in Italy OF
Germany, observers agreed that il
inevitably would make the invasion
by ground forces a much easier job

NEW YORK, May 2O.-A German

said last night that "Churchill's dec

The broadcast, described by the

speech, was from a German news

those dangers.

They have, however, not found
any practical way to deal with this

to pull down on one side what they
