This Changing World
Russ'on Ground Is Dry ond Nozi Push Soon
Appears Aimed at Moscow and Leninorod

the Moscow area has the main
ammunition and armament fac
tories available to the Red forces
in Western Russia.
UrAls Would Remain.
Should the area fall into enemy
hands the only industrial re-
sources available to Russia would
be in the Urals.
Competent American and
British authorities are awaiting
these new military developments
with some anxiety, although the
British military men In particular
are convinced the Nazis will fall
again. There is no question that
a third defeat of the Germans on
the Russian front would spell the
doom Of the Reich and we may
confidently look to an early end
Ing OF the war In Europe.
The confidence OF the British
is not fully shared by some of the
American strategists, chiefly be-
cause they lack the necessary in
formation to enable them to
make an adequate estimate of the
military situation on the Eastern
front. They gave a fair idea of
the German concentrations. but
the Russian strength is totally
unknown to them.
Some observers feel that the
Russians are playing risky game
II they have concentrated their
major forces on the Moscow
Len1ngrad-Kharkov front.
Ever since the outbreak of the
war the Nazi commanders have
been trying to pulverize the Red
armies. They have been frus-
trated because. the Russians have
been elusive and managed to
break away when the situation
appeared too dangerous. The
Soviet always fought a defensive
was In the summer and managed
to hit the Nazi badly in the
winter.
Would ImperiI U. S. Plans.
Should the Nazis now meet
the bulk of the Russian armies in
q pitched battle which might last
several months, there is danger
that if the Germans are not de-
feated the Russians would be so
badly damaged that their further
resistance might be only nominal.
In view OF the fact that the
Allies in the West are now only
preparing for major battle, the
most important of which may
take place next year, a real
German victory against the Red
armies might compromise all our
war plans.
Concern over what the Russian
strategic plans may be is further
enhanced by the fact that should
the Nazis be successful in the
initial stages of the campaign
there will be clamor from the
public for Britain and America
to do something Immediately"
on the Western front at a time
when We might not be ready for
a ma jor action.

when our generation faced the

between our youth and yours. We
faced the same kind Of problems;
we had the same hopes-for our

Yet our hopes were frustrated,
or you would not be repeating our
experience today. Why?
Those Of us, who at your age
gave thought to our world and
our times. faced the problems
and tried to contribute to their
solution. It should be remem-
bered that those who fought the
last war were too young to have
much influence on the succeeding
epoch. The old forces were
strong and held all the key-points
OF power. They looked out upon
the earth with old eyes, and
longed to return to the more
comfortable and limited world
which had nurtured them. in
which the prosperity and security
OF a single nation outweighed
the welfare of the whole world.
Lack Power and Experience.
We had glimpeed another vi
sion of "One World" But we
were without either the power or
the experience to make that
vision a reality. Our generation
was, indeed, the lost generation"
in an intellectual sense, because
we did not know how to find our
way, and had to experiment and
explore.
But. historically, We were not
lost. For it is the advantage of
your generation that we live, and
through you and with you hope to
realize that vision, which despite
Illustration and disillusionment,
has become ever more real.

Nazi strategists are afraid to
gamble on a large scale offensive
against the Red armies this
year, there are definite indica-
tions that the Germans soon
will start their most powerful
offensive of the war.
The ground in Russia Is al
ready dry. In the past the
Germans have waited a few
weeks after the rainy and slushy
season has ended to begin i'm
portant military operations.
From information reaching
Washington and London, it ap-
pears that the main Nazi OBJ
jective this year will be Moscow
and Leningrad.
Large bodies Of troops have
been taken to that front in the
last two months. New regular
and emergency airfields have
been added and large amounts Of
war material and food supplies
needed for a major operation
are reported to have arrived in
that area.
Push Seen This Month.
The concentration OF forces
and equipment is now completed,
and the signal for the beginning
Of the push eastward might be
expected at any time between
now and the end Of the month.
1t appears that the Nazi high
command is convinced that the
Russians have concentrated the
major portion of their forces in
the Moscow-Leningrad area
despite the reported suggestion
from the commander of the Red
armies on the Leningrad front,
Marshal Semeon Timoshenko.
that Leningrad should not be
held II the Germans bring in
overwhelming forces. The Nazis
seem to think the Red armies
will make definite stand on
the Leningrad- Moscow front,
come what may.
This conviction Is due to the
fact Moscow and Leningrad are
sacred cities to Russia. But the
main reason why it is suspected
that Russian armies will offer a
bitter stand on this line Is that

just given his walking papers to tbs

The average Englishman did not
respond too kindly to the treatment

than one occasion, told the world
how he loathed the British and
would leave these fair islands in a

bodies Of the people lying every

Still Sleep in Subway.
1t Is hard for an American to
understand these things. But you
only have to visit the underground

people still sleeping there. There
have been no serious raids here for
a long time. but the raids during
the blitz did something to these
people mostly old, with pinched
faces-from which they have not
yet recovered. defy any American
who never has heard the whistle Of
bombs to 60 into these shelters and
not feel that some one should be
paid of for the misery dealt out
by the Axis powers.

how the opening up Of America

break through with violence, and
the greater the coming epoch, the
greater the violence that attends
