SIMPSON The coming week holds a bitter anniversary for Herr Hitler. Just a year ago next Thursday, he op ened .the annual nazi winter re lief campaign in 'Berlin by an nouncing that "We have drafted a Very simple program for 1943. It was, he said: i : r: "First, hold in all circumstances what must be held; that is, let the enemy run against us everywhere we do not intend to advance; and let him storm as long as he wants to; hold adamantly and wait and see who tires out first . f- "Second: absolutely attack in all circumstances where attack is necessary., : ... :: At that moment a year ago the battle ;of Stalingrad was at its height. Nazi troops actually were at the Volga. Alexandria was in dire peril with Rcmmel's army girding for a new attack along the Alamein line only 60 miles away. The battle of Guadalcanal was in progress. Terrible losses had been suffered by allied convoys to Rus sia in the arctic Italian war craft had made, a daring, hit-and-run attack at Gibraltar. The Dieppe commando raid to test the western defenses of .the nazi continental fortress had cost heavily in life. In the Atlantic nazi U-boats were taking a grim toll of allied ship ping. :, ; - Nevertheless, with another Rus sian winter at hand Hitler elected to announce a halt in his eastward surge, but only a halt until better weather came. He did not know that it was the final halt of his attempt to rule the world by force. Hitler must have no doubt of that now, not with the 'loss of Smolensk the keystone of nazi defense on the vast 1200 mile battle line. - This latest major achievement of the Russian armies opens, the door to White Russia, to nazi-oo cupied Latvia, Lithuania and- Es tonia, and smashes home td Hitler the bitter, hard fact that Germany virtually has lost her war - with Russia. ? .

At no time since that September speech a year ago has Hitler or any of his spokesmen had any word of cheer to give the German people.
