Admiral Greenslade suggest ed that a .; penalty must be de vised "to fit a nation that thinks and acts and : kills - and dies : en masse a monstrous v mass-man who nearly, very-nearly, once had us in his grasp.' .' Admiral Greenslade said ; that Japan's flight from the Aleutians "leaves them faceless an evi dence of a crumbling morale that will; have tremendous, repercus sions on a citizenry of less trained fortitude, and "the awakening awareness of doom." He added: . "It is evident that Japan's sin gle- gain from last year's ill-fated move against Midway,' Hawaii' and Dutch Harbor was marked off in cold .blood as a -bad investment.'

It is highly insulting to Russia to sug gest that she might, drop out of the war-. sy V y -' . He said . Germany - would, be pleased to make a separate peace. but, unable to "do so had spread the rumor about Russia. "I ' believe that Hitler knows from a military point of view that he can't win the war, but through political action to divide the Unit ed' Nations he might escape con sequences," he said.' "Politically Hitler is a man of the greatest cunning and adroitness. I believe he has real hopes of dividing the United Nations and that a lot of people are unconsciously foster ing that hope." " ' If Germany gains its objective of dividing the United Nations, Bracken declared,' she "will have lost the war from a military point of view and won it from a politi cal point of view." , . The information minister said that "the best education for Ger many is Air Chief Marshal Sir Arthur) Harris (of the RAF). " "He can teach them a lesson they want to know," he declared. War to them has been a most profitable investment and : never has been fought on -their own soil. They are going to get such a dose in the next six months that Ger many is going to feel there is a lot ; of soundness in the Quaker religion." yy : .::" -yj The' decisions ; at - the .
