Leland Stowe Predicts Lengthy, Tedious War By JULES MAITLAND Leland Stowe's recent article on ‘"Willpower” in The Ore gonian in which he asserted that “America doesn’t need so much manpower but more will power” applies mainly to citi zens between the ages of 30 to 55... In a telephone interview from Eugene to Portland, the globe-trotting war correspondent for the Chicago Daily News stated that since his brief return home from the war fronts, he has f> and from personal observation am.' talks with leading citizens of the nation, that America’s youngs ec generation is exceedingly con scientious about the conflict, and is going about the task of gain ing victory with very little emo tic:. but more common sense, and realism. Seen Soviet Youth Recently returned from the Russian theater of war, Stowe heaped praise upon the Soviet youth, but was quick to add that America’s so-called “kids” can knuckle-down to the hard facts of total war. ‘ The United States is going to see rationing beyond its wildest dreams; mobilization equal to that of Russia and Germany— all in the next nine months," Stowe said. “I don’t believe we’ve eve i come near hitting our stride in the war effort and until we do so—everyone can expect a long and tedious war.” Pessimistic The white-haired correspondent who has seen war in Norway, France, Spain, China, the Balk ans and Russia was very pessimis tic about the conflict. ‘The Allies are only in the be girding stages of offensive ac tion in Africa and the Far Kast. Victory will not be reached un til our doughboys march through the streets .of Berlin and Tokyo.” Norway Scoop The famed reporter who scooped the world on the Nor wegian campaign and who has just recently returned from six months in Russia concluded that the Allies will not defeat Gor ina: y until the spring or autumn of 1941. Japan, according to Stowe, will he crushed by early 1946 —if things go well. “I can’t be optimistic about this war when I see how far we hav ■ to go with so little material and morale it hand. When we start making sacrifices like Rus sia and Britain—and yes, even Gee many well be starting on the road to victory,” Stowe de clar >d.
