The end o. Mussolinis twenty-one-
year rule over Italy came so sud
denly that its significance has yet
10 he appreciated. II marks. how
ever. a definite end OF an era OF con
fusion. The sands OF all dictators
are now running out. whether gov
ernments OF Fascists, Nazis, Reyolu-
tionists. Socialists, or New Dealers,
or city dictators-their ends are IN
sight We shall return TO Religion
and Democracy. We also face a re-
turn to Relief. not TO New Deal
relief, but TO relief coming from one
more demonstration that what Is
fundamentally right will prevail.
We. however, do face new econom-
ic problems that will arise in con
nection with postwar events.
The Basis OF Recovery
To date. the rise in the cost OF
living has been kept within reason
able limits. The National Debt has
risen to astronomical heights; but
il is being adequately seryiced.
Money in circulation per capita is
the highest IN our history. Con-
sumner goods inventories are hold
ing up pretty we'll. and We should
now see more. rather than less.
such goods. For the time being,
= however. there is relatively less for
which the average wage worker
can spend his money. Hence, Secre-
tary Morgenthau's continued efforts
10 switch the bulk OF War Bond
buying from banHs to the individual
from the cities 10 the towns. Any
high degree OF initiation is likely
TO come after the War, rather than
now.
II thus becomes essential that
everything possible be done to pre-
vent a postwar scarcity OF goods
and resulting uncomfortable prices.

War Today
Generals Believed
Directing German
Flight in Russia
Nv Louis r. kEEMLE
United Press War Anahs'

TIE PACE Of the German
Withdrawal in southern Russia
lends weight to the belief that
the high command has taken
over The direction Of affairs and
has abandoned Hiiier's Russian
venture.
DESPITE the advice Of his gen
erals. Hitler showed his armies
into this bear trap and II IS their
lob now 10 eXtricate the remain
der and regroup them tor a de-
fenSNe stand. probably along the
Dnieper only $50 miles from the
old Polish frontier.
Although this retreat was
forced by military necessity due
10 Russian pressure, there can
be little doubt that II was or
dered That suggests the dlrec-
ton Of the generals, who were
against the drive 10 the Noiea
in the first place.
II THEY had had their say,
Il Is probable that the generals
would have withdrawn from
StAlingrad in time 10 avert the
great disaster there.
Hitler insisted on a suicidal
stand. and il was the last blow
10 his spurious military prestige,
built on temporary successes
gained by bold but unsound mill
tary tactics,
II the Germans had decided 10
make any further stand in the
eastern Ukraine. they unques-
tionahly would have put up a
stronger fight 70 hold their nat
urally strong line in the bills
from Orel 10 below kursk. a
stretch of more than 200 miles.
Now they have abandoned
Kursk, Belgorod and Kharkov
and hold only Orel. which they
are expected 10 give up momen-
tarily.
THAT MEANS they are on
the unbroken plains stretching
from $50 to $50 miles west 10
the Dnieper. The terrain offers
no natural defenses and IL seems
unlikely that halt can be made
short of the river.
Beyond that il is improbable
that the Germans would retreat
unless crushingly defeated. be-
cause they would be getting too
close 10 the eastern wall of
their own country.
The celebrated "drang mach
osten" or march to the east is,
in fact, in reverse and threatens
to become a march 10 the west.
Farther TO the south. -the Ger
mans are in retreat from Rostov
along the shore Of the Sea of
Azov. and the Russians already
are pressing close TO Taganrog,
where the Germans halted last
years Russian push.
THE EXTENT of this retreat
will be interesting TO watch. II
has been suggested that the
Germans will fall back 10 the re-
gion of Odessa, near the mouth
of the Dnieper. 1t seems unlikely
they would do so except from
sheer necessity. since il would
mean evacuation of the Crimea,
If the Russians drive past
Taganrog and reach the narrow
Perekop Isthmus connecting the
, peninsula with the mainland. the
German forces in the Crimea
would otherwise be cut of and
doomed.
Also. a German retreat 10
Odessa would bring the Russians
perilously close TO the Dneister
and Bessarabia. which means in
turn threat TO the Rumanian
oil fields.
hitler cannot possibly afford
70 lose the Rumanian fields for
they are almost his sole remain
ing source OF natural oil supply.
Having failed to take the eau
casus fields, II is doubtful if he
could remain in the war for long
solely on his synthetic produc-
ton, especially after the Allies
start their promised invasion OF
