End Of the Tirpitz

Hit once by Russian planes in the
Baltic, torpedoed last year in a dar-
ing foray by British midget subma-
rines and attacked on eight separate
occasions by the Royal Air Force, the
Tirpitz has finally met its end. There
was a time when it was one of the
naval wonders of the world Like
its sister ship, the Bismarck, 1t was
some 10000 tons of supposedly I'M
sinkable power-a floating fortress
so swift and deadly that its mere
existence was enough to immobilize
a good part of the British fleet in
policing it while it huddled at anchor
IN the Norwegian fjords. But now
that 1t has gone to its grave in one
OF those fjords-sent there by the
RATS six-ton bombs-it seems to
have been a curiously sterile instru-
ment OF war, having engaged in no
action Of consequence and being
distinguished chiefly for the fact
that 1t was as much a constant
target as d potential threat The
Bismarck at least went down in a
blaze Of battle after destroying the
Hood, but the Tirpitz was like a
musclebound giant never quite able
to show anything more than a
capacity to absorb punishment "A
thing whose strength failed from the
start to achieve what had been once
expected OF it. 1t was the last Of the
great Nazi capital ships-the last
and apparently the least profitable
and its death. in effect, signifies
the death Of German seapower as a
whole, for there is little left OF that
power now but crippled steel, a At
ting monument to the wreckage OF
Hitler's wild adventure

not apply to the matter of resisting to
the end.
In the last two months the situation
has changed radically from what it was
last summer when there we're many,
including top-ranking officers, who be-
lieved that surrender to the Allies either
in the west or the east might save the
Reich. All such hope Is said to have
disappeared. The orders to the Amer
lean forces which have occupied certain
sections of the Reich to adopt a stern
attitude toward all inhabitants regard
less OF sex and age has tended further
to confirm Goebbels' statements that
the German people can expect no mercy
from the Allies.
Goebbels does not have to exercise
much imagination now to convince the
German people that he is telling them
the truth. The orders issued to the
American occupation forces merely con-
firm the ''Morgenthau plan" published
in this country and have intensified the
fanaticism of the German people on
the lighting and home fronts. The esti-
mate of the American general staff is
that even if Hitler and Himmler were
to disappear the Germans could be
conquered only by force
But, If Hitler suffered a stroke or
nervous breakdown, it would help mat
tiers in the future. The worst thing that
could happen to keep Germany in a
continual turmoil even after its defeat
would be Hitler's death on the battle
field. Had this occurred he would have
remained legend in the Reich for
many years after the war.
4
The fact that the Kaiser and his
brood decided to take fight and hide in
neutral country when Germany was
defeated in November, 1918, removed
all possibility of the return of a mon
archy in the Reich Had the Kaiser
placed himself at the head of a guard
division when he realized he was de-
feated and been killed in action. the
German monarchy would have emerged
stronger than ever and we would have
seen the Hohenzollerns back on the
throne within a decade or two. The
reigning familys cowardice killed the
chances of the German monarchists in
the same way Napoleon Ills surrender
IN 1871 removed all possibility of France
becoming monarchy again.

until what? Until they have defeated
the other armies which beset them?
OBVIOUSLY they can have no such hope.
until they have perfected some new
weapon and brought it into mass pro-
auction? Perhaps. but the effect of their
new weapons SO far has not been en-
couraging. The whole affair is much
more reminiscent of a drowning man
clutching desperately at any straw.
The weight of the Swedish risk is con-
siderable. The Swedish fleet, for one
thing, is just about the equal in surface
nghtlng power of the German Baltic
fleet. In fact, If We count the Tirpitz
now reported sunk and the Gneisenau
as being definitely out of the picture,
the Swedes are probably, for Baltic
operations, superior to the Germans in
everything except battle experience.
The swedish Air Force Is also factor
to be reckoned with; and the Allied Air
Forces operating from Swedish bases
would be still more SO. OF course. the
Germans may have reason to hope that
the Sweues will not be precipitate: but
some OF those who have studied Swedish
reactions recently believe that popular
pressure will compel drastic action by
the Swedish government to protect
Swedish shipping If there are any "inci-
dents" which involve the loss of such
shipping, and especially of Swedish lives,
by German ruthlessness.
The whole affair looks very much As
though the Germans had good cause to
think that the reports from Moscow to
the effect that the Russians are planning
amphibious operations from their newly
won Baltic ports may be true, and that
the Germans are therefore compelled to
accept the Swedish risk in order to pre-
pare the way for the unrestricted use of
their submarines to defend themselves
against such Russian venture.
The Baltic coast Of Germany has
never been defended to the extent that
the North Sea coast is defended; it
would need powerful German field
army to protect that coast against
Russian landing. But the Germans
have no more powerful field armies.
Faced with the alternative of using
every U-boat they have In the Baltic
to attack everything that floats In that
sea. and risking Swedish hostility, or
meeting Russian Army on the beaches
of PomerAniA with . few battalions OF
Volksturn1, the Germans are apparently
accepting what they consider the lesser

Puppet China

announcement ms TOKYO OF the
death of Wang Ching-wei features
enc segment of politically divided
China whereof we hear relatively
little. Wang was President and Pre-
rlier Of the japanese sponsored
puppet regime which has its titular
capital at Marking. Theoretically,
this Marking regime claims to
be the national government" of
China. Technically, its territory is
conterminous with the zones of
Japanese military occupation, en-
bracing the richest parts of the
country. Actually, its authority is
little more than the shadow cast
by the Japanese war machine. It's
native troops are mercenaries; its
officials are time servers of the in
vader. Deprived of japanese support,
the Marking government promptly
would fall of its weight.
What scant innate vitality the
Marking regime possesses is due
mainly to a small group of relatively
strong personalities, among whom
Wang was the outstanding figure.
Wang was no obscure individual
picked up by the japanese conquer
ors and set in Office. He was one OF
the original makers of the great
revolution against the Manchu three
decades ago, and subsequently was
the colleague of Chang Kai-shek in
the coalition government that ruled
China down to the war with Japan
which started in 1887. There had
been friction between the two lead
ers, and the pressure OF Japanese
successes caused an open break be-
tween them. So, in 1888, Wang went
over to the japanese, who received
him with open arms and made him
the head of their puppet regime.
Loaded with honors and enriched by
favors, Wang Ching-wei acquired
considerable face" when Tokyo
technically surrendered to it's crea-
ture all administrative rights in
Japanese concessions throughout
China, thereby ostensibly satisfying
the Chinese craving for the abolition
of foreign extraterritoriality. The
Marking government likewise re-
ceived diplomatic recognition by the
other Axis powers and their satel-
lites in both Asia and Europe.
Wang's successor is Chen Kung -po.
A Cantonese, partly educased in
America and with a Columbia Uni
versity degree, he long had played a
minor role in Chinese political life
and was Wang's designated success
sor. But he has not 1.-THE OF the
prestige enjoyed by his deceased
chief; neither has he ever shown
marked ability. Wang's death there
fore is serious loss to Tokyo,
though the blow is softened by Japa-
nese victories in Southern China
with the imminent establishment of
a land route through the heart of
the country to buttress it's authority.
Henceforth the Marking govern
ment presumably will display still
more obviously its puppet status.
