the Nazi and Red armies are
begged down by mud and heavy
rains. But as soon as the dry
season begins and the roads be-
come passable, most military OBJ
servers believe the Nazi high
command will make a desperate
effort to smash the Red armies.
According to the best informa-
ton available here-none Is really
reliable-the Nazis have been
massing forces in the rear of the
present front for the last six
weeks. From the Reich and
Nazi-occupied countries they are
bringing up stores OF supplies.
ammunition and war materials as
well as fresh troops.
Use Newly Trained Men.
Many Of the men being sent to
the east have had intense train
ing, but have not yet been tested
in actual combat. In the past
this would have been regarded as
an indication that they might not
be able to stand the brunt OF a
campaign as difficult as the one
in Russia.
But the Russians themselves,
who have suffered heavy losses in
their offensive during the last
four months, have had to
bring newly = trained, inexperi-
enced troops to the front lines.
They have done we'll.
Moreover, our own experience
In Tunisia, where green Ameri-
can soldiers were pitted against
the veterans Of Marshal Rom
mels Afrika Korps, proves that
In modern warfare raw troops
who have had intensive training
can hold their own against vet
Grams.
No Indication Of Weakening.
Hence, the arrival in Russia Of
Nazi divisions composed OF men
without actual combat expert
ence will not affect the quality
OF these units unless the will to
fight no longer exists In the
Nazi youth.
American observers in Russia
have had little opportunity to

Ing plants, built and building, by
private industry, for the account
Of the Government, which sees
to the distribution of the product.
This year the total production
Of synthetic rubber of all kinds
will run about 250,00O tons. In
1914, when the plants will operate
at full capacity. the production
will be $4,000 tons-and the total
may run considerably higher.
This Is more rubber than was
ever used in manufacturing in
this country in any one year. In
l94l the use of rubber in one
month was at the rate of 100000
tons, but the actual consumption
Of rubber for manufacturing did
not reach that total for a year.
The United States is not out of
the woods, so far as rubber is
concerned. But it is on the way.
The military demands for rubber
are very great. They must be met.
There are several hundred thou
sand tons of scrap rubber on
hand, and they will be used effec-
lively. And eventually it will be
possible to ease materially the
supply going into civilian needs.
Problem Is Difficult.
One Of the toughest problems
that Congress will have to face
In the future is the final dis
position Of this synthetic rubber
industry. which has been built up
with Government funds, and
which is Government owned.
Rubber companies and others
have experimental for a number
OF years with synthetic rubber.
More recently, foreign patents for
the manufacture of rubber have
been taken over-some of them
German.
At present, four big rubber
companies, United States Rub
ber, Firestone, Goodyear and
Goodrich, are doing the major
part Of the synthetic rubber pro-
duction, and three smaller con-
Germs will operate plants for the
Government, too, all producing
in IA plants. OF the other 40
plants, many are making the
basic materials that go into the
production Of rubber, including
reagents. There are four or five
basic sources In the petroleum
field, and there is the alcohol
field. At present. grain alcohol
for such production costs more.
With usual amortization
charges for the construction of
the plants. 1t is estimated the
cost Of this synthetic rubber is
from 80 to 81 cents a pound
Some OF the scientists predict
that ultimately the cost of syn
thetic rubber will get down to IS
cents pound, which is lower
than the cost of natural rubber
when we could get it.
Natural rubber was selling at
% cents pound before the war.
This was a controlled market
price.
Broken down into ordinary
categories, the $4,000 tons of
synthetic rubber will be made up
as follows: 705,OOO tons of buna

This Changing World
Nozis Believed Messing for Huge Offensive
Against Russions Along Southern Front

from what the Russian head
quarters are telling, there seems
to be no indication that the
Nazis have reached the surrender
frame of mind.
It Is true that some senior off,
GERS have expressed doubts about
the ability of their German
armies to win against the pow
erful coalition they are up
against. But these doubts, as
far as Is known In Washing
ton, are not discovered in the
ranks OF the Nazi combat units.
Certainly there has been some
decline in Nazi fighting enthusi-
asm since the smashing defeat at
Stalingrad. But the fact the
high command has been able to
re-establish the situation when
1t looked worst is believed to
have given the men a renewed
confidence in the ability of their
generals to get them out Of a
tough spot.
We on the other side Of the
line realize the Importance Of
the battle for North Africa and
the implications of the defeat
of the Rommel forces. But 1t
is doubtful whether the Nazi
soldier, to whom Africa is an
unimportant far-away region,
bothers much about what is hap
pening to the 100000 Germans
fighting there. The campaign
still is being fought far from
the homeland and consequently
Is regarded as a Colonial expe-
dition with little bearing in the
outcome Of the war.
Allied Aid Holds Key.
The propaganda machine which
Goebbes has devised. for the
fighting forces takes good care
to describe the Tunisian cam
paign as a minor operation. The
high command, of course, real
ICES the importance of the even
tual capitulation Of the Rommel
forces. But the thoughts OF the
high command are little known
among the men who have been
sent to fight Russia again.
These factors are taken into
consideration by the Allied mill
tary planners who believe the
Nazi high command must make
last desperate attempt to crush
the Soviet forces sufficiently to
permit them to turn their full
attention to the Western or
Southern European theater Of
operations.
No competent authority in
Washington or London Is willing
to forecast the turn of military
events in the Forthcoming
months. The Russian armies
have proved themselves in
vincible so far. But their power
to take it" again, should the
Nazis open up against them with
renewed fury, depends to a great
extent on the amount Of war
material and food the Allies are
able to ship them,
