Today
Victory IN 43
Is Doubted by
War Leaders
By KINGSBURY SMITH

International News service star writer
OFFICIALS AND diplo-
matte circles in Washington
are confident that 1913 will
witness the United Nations
taking the offensive against
the Axis on s steadily increas-
ing scale in Europe and the
Far East.
However, there are few, if
any, high officials OF diplomats
who are willing 10 predict that
complete victory is likely to
be achieved this year, either
In Europe or the Pacific.
Collapse Of Germany is seen
as a possibility, but not a
probability. Adolf Hitler is
expected TO spend 1913 wag-
ing a desperate defensive war
in Europe, and the concensus
In Washington seems TO be
that it will take until 1914 to
knock Germany out.
Little hope is held that
Japan can be defeated until
Germanys military might has
been crushed and the Allies
can concentrate their COM
bined forces. especially naval
and air. in the Pacific.
When that concentration be-
comes possible, it is believed
Japan can be knocked out
within a year. though II will
be no easy task.

MANY HIGH ranking Of
fcials and diplomats in Wash
ington believe the Allies
greatest cause for concern in
1913 will be the Nazi SUBJ
marine menace.
At present. the only sue
cessful offensive that any of
the Axis powers is carrying
out is Germany's underwater
campaign against Allied ship
ping.
That offensive is of a far
greater and more successful
scale than is generally real
lied. II is no secret to the
enemy that the submarine
warfare is interfering seri-
ously with the shipment of
war supplies from the arsenal
of the democracies 10 the
fighting fronts.
A vastly increased number
of escort vessels and bombing
planes for anti-submarine war
fare is considered by COM
petent authorities in Wash
ington 10 be the only answer
10 the undersea menace.
While no accurate figures
are available. some reports
have been received by the
Allied governments estimating
that the U-boat feet is seven
or eight times as great as it
was at the start of the war.
