International News Review

1t is, of course, impossible to make
definite predictions, but developments
have become exceedingly favorable.
It is conceivable that there may be
setbacks once more, but it is not
very probable at this time, for Hit
Ter is actually fighting defensive
war now, while the United Nations
have taken the offensive on prac-
tically all the fronts of the world.
Progress in Russia.
This is true, also in regard to Rus
sia where the Soviet armies have
made decided progress in the Cau-
casus after period of little activity.
They are making it very difficult for
the Nazi armies to move in that part
of Russia. A little farther north,
that is, in the Ukraine and in the
Donetz Basin, the situation seems to
remain as stationary as it has been
for some weeks, and both the Ger
mans and the Russians have been
checked, with the result that no vic
tories and no defeats have been re-
ported for some time
Still farther north, in the Smolensk
sector, things are pretty quiet. The
Russians have not been able to reach
their next important objective, the
city of Smolensk-nor have the Nazis
succeeded in driving them back from
their positions.
Moscow reports that German
peace feelers" have been put
out for the purpose of obtaining
separate Nazi-SOviet peace, but
the Russian government has
made it clear that it is inter-
ested only in the enemy's uncon-
diti0nal surrender and the de-
structiOn of all his armies.
The story sounds plausible enough,
for Hitler realizes that his Day of
Doom is approaching with the i'm
minent general offensive against him
and he, naturally, wants to devote
as much of his military strength as
possible to the task of warding off

WASHINGTON, March 9 (UP)
The Office of Price Administra-
tion has decided not TO ration
poultry, game and fresh fish for

today.
II had been thought likely all
those foods would be included as
part Of the overall meat ration.
Poultry supplies are plentiful at
the moment and are likely TO re-
main so, OPA officials said, unless
meat rationing causes a heavy
purchasing run on chicken as a
meat substitute.
Fisheries Co-ordinator 1ckes

ton of fresh seafoods this year
will total approximately go per
