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.
