PACIFIC FRONT:

In the Far Eastern war theater,
reports from China disclosed that
the main Japanese offensive in
Western Yunnan province along the
old Burma road had been halted on
the west bank of the Salween river.
Waning enemy air power in the
Burma-China area was indicated by

The Japs retaliated with raid on
Tulagi close to Guadalcanal.

Knox said that American forces are
stronger than ever before in the
Solomon Islands sector while
throughout the South Pacific, the

RUSSIA:
Nazis UncOiL

Three reasons were cited by mill
tary observers for the initial success
of the sudden German counter
offensive west of Rostov and south
of Kharkov which in its early stages
had swept forward 100 miles and
resulted in the capture of eight key
cities in the Donetz basin which had
been taken earlier by the Soviets in
their great winter drive.
One reason was the use by the
Nazis of Is fresh divisions. Twelve
of these had been rushed from west
ern Europe and the others replen-
ished after previous action. A Sec
ond reason was the draining of
troops from this southern sector by
the Russians to supply momentum
to their drive on Orel and WANNA
to the north. The third was the SUI
periority of Axis supply lines and
communications in the DonetZ area.
The serious extent of these early
German successes was evident in
the fact that Russian official COM
muniques had admitted the loss of
the cities the Germans had claimed.
Russ reports disclosed that the Ger
man move had actually started late
in February.
The setback in the south had not
prevented the Russians from con-
tinuing their drive on WANNA. Red
communicates had reported the cap
ture of Tiomkino.

LABOR MANHUNT:
French Fight Nazis

Adolf Hitler's desperate need for
manpower had caused the Nazi to
put more than usual pressure on
the collaborative Laval regime for
more French workers.
The German demand had been
for 100000 men. When Nazi SOL
diers abetted by the Vichy govern
ment set out to meet this goal, the
trouble started.
Street fighting, guerrilla tactics
and sabotage were the French Pa
triots' answer to this effort to boil
ster Germany's waning manpower
resources. Reports received by the
Fighting French in London indicat-
ed that in a single 72-hour uprising,
more than $50 German soldiers had
been killed.
Swift and cruel were the reprisals
taken for this characterization. But
the repressive measures only served
to fan the flames of French hatred
against the German conquerors.

ANTI-VICHY:
Action in No. africa

Increasing evidence that Gen.
Henri Giraud's North Africa regime
will move steadily further away
from Vichy influences and ever clos
er to the democratic methods of
the United Nations was seen in the
high commissioners summary &C.
ton in repudiating all Petain de-
crees relating to African colonial af-
fairs and liquidating the entire gov
eminent bureau concerned with re-
strictions on Jews.
"a decree signed in Vichy has no
effect in North Africa" was Gil
raud's terse explanation. 1.-THE Ger
man occupation interrupted the free
exercise of national sovereignty"
General Giraud's action followed
that of Governor General Nogues of
French Morocco reinstating govern
ment workers dismissed under
Vichy's orders and repeating the ban
on listening to certain foreign broad
casts. In repeating the Vichy anti
Semitic DEGREES, High Commissioner
Giraud ordered General Bounty, who
dealt with Jewish problems, to be
removed from office.

u. S.-RUSSIA:

Although the storm over Ambas-

failure to inform its people fully
about the great extent of American
aid had subsidized and future lend

greater mutual confidence between
the two Allies continued.
This need was stressed by Vice
President Henry A. Wallace in a
speech which coincidentally enough
was delivered at the time Stand
ley's statement was made public.
Mr.. Wallace had stressed the fact
that third World war might re-
suit unless the western democracies

Suicide the End?
Without revealing the source, I
have heard the opinion expressed by
a man who has seen and met with
Hitler many times and is exceeding
ly familiar with his life, that it is
quite possible that mental decline
has started which, he believes, may
end in suicide.
On my own score, / may say that
when l heard Hitler deliver his IA
nous speech at the start of the war
in 1899 in which he said that he was
going to the front and would lead
Germany to victory, that he would
not take off his uniform until this
had been achieved, and in the next
breath named his successors, I
thought he was preparing for suicide.
doubt if he is now dead. He may
not even be ill but the thing is, there
has been no report of any public
appearance for a long time.
That, of course, is hearsay evil
dence-or long-distance diagnosis
but what Oechsner reports comes
from irst-hand authority.
So Hitler may already be in a
padded cell-and nobody seems to
care!

Because of the increasing demand

Fourth Term
Does FDR Want It,?

VIII the President run for
Fourth Term?
A number of cross currents are
definitely in motion, some directly
moving toward an attempt to draft
Mr.. Roosevelt as candidate in IA;
some which at present seem to be
carrying him in the opposite direc-
ton.
One thing that many. people fail
to realize is the fact that when the
precedent against a man serving in
the White House for more than two
terms was broken, the first olive was
out of the bottle and the chief OBJ
stacle to a fourth term was re-
moved. AS has been pointed out, the
American people never before want
ed a man for a third term candi-
date, although twice before candi-
dates would have made the attempt
Grant and Theodore Roosevelt.
When the first whispers for a pos
sible third term for Franklin Roose-
welt we're heard, talked to sea-
soned political observer. He said:
the President doesn't want to run
again but he will be persuaded to by
his friends.
make bold to state at this juno
ture that exactly the same state
ment can be made today with one
modification: The President doesn't
want to run for a fourth term but
his friends are trying to persuade
him to.
feel sure that the President does
not want to run again. I do believe
he passionately desires to preside
at the peace table. But some of his
friends have a different view. AS
Joseph Tumulty, secretary to Pres
ident Wilson, once remarked about
the White House: ITS nice board
ing house, you hate like the dickens
to move out"
Friends Demands
Two things are acting in favor of
persuading the President: One, this
earnest and insistent demand of his
friends who don't want "to move
out" and some of whom honestly be-
lieve that it would be for the general
good if the President stayed on.
Their arguments are many.
The second factor and the one
which could elect Mr.. Roosevelt for
a fourth term, if he does run again,
can be expressed in the well-known
slogan, Don't swap horses while
crossing stream" 1t is the rea-
soning behind this homely express
sion which, of course, provides the
most persuasive argument to any
President.
On the other hand, if by 1914 Hit
| Ter has been defeated, the President
might feel that he could serve even
better at the peace table if he were
not the head of political party, if
he were not bound by certain do
mestic policies which the head of
an administration must administer
with one eye on the votes in the next
| election.
I believe that if the President felt
| positively that he would be allowed
to play the principal role in the
| peace-making, even though somec ne
else were in the White House (per-
haps a Republican,, or if he felt
that as President, he would be less
effective as a peacemaker, he would
! not consider fourth term.
