and the Pacific Northwest and the
Afrika Corps of Marshal Erwin
Rommel threatened to cut the Brit
ish Empire at Spec and to link the
Axis through India.
In the Pacific, the war now is
many months ahead of the sched-
ules then laid down. Victory over
Japan by mid-1946 seems probable
to military authorities here, who
once talked of 1947-48. The Japan
csc fleet is crippled; only the Jap
anese army remains to be met in
mass. Unprecedented production in
the United States has put the great
est amphibious forces in history in
to the Pacific.
The war in Europe now is obvi-
ously behind the long-range sched-
ules. For at least two years, mill
tary men here have talked of a
possible German collapse at the
opening of this winter. 1t has not
come because Nazi leaders decid-
ed to force the fight to the limit.
