uprisings within Germany are ex-
pected. There are millions of for
eisners there pressed into laboring
for the Reich, land, as q guess, they
will become the mobs willing to help
US kill Nazis, and millions Of non-
Nazi Germans will also become
mobs willing to help US kill Nazis.
But the Nazis and the remnants of
the army they control will remain
more or less . cohesive force, with
millions Of civilians willing to help
them.
What We expect today on the
eve Of the final adventure of the
war In Europe is that once we cross
the border no back will be safe.

We Can Squawk.
We can figure out for ourselves
how they are planning to conduct
this war in the Pacific and if the
way we figure it out Is a way we
don't like, we can raise a rumpus
For instance, We can figure out that
the scheme is to have the American
troops free all the British possess

all the French possessions and turn
them back to the British, the Dutch
and the French, and then We can
demand to know whether or not
American lives are to be sacrificed

We can start rumors about things

can even get the opposition candi-

They probably will not tell the
world why Stain isn't present. We
will be left to figure out for our
selves that this is because Russia is
not at war with Japan and also
because Stain is very busy on the
eastern front. But that needn't stop
us from raising the question.
And, hey, where's Chang Kai-

that Chang Kai-Shek is enpaoed in
