PAGE TWO - V' The OZLGOII CTATECMAII. Cclem. Orvoxu Saturday Morning. Januarr 1 1SU Y. Strikes Said Delaying War Conclusion C ' (Continued from page DIG the i army1 run the carriers, ibut " declared against any retreat In their wage fight , The source who described j as ." serted German propaganda based 'on the strike threat said theef- . feet on European peoples is such that a revolt there may ' be ser iously delayed. - .This means, it was said, that the war could be extended months longer and that the allies still may have to fight through the summer at a cost ; of. scores of thousands . of casualties before Germany can be brought to her knees. a ' x German propaganda has taken three lines in the satellite nations, i It was said. . 1 ' First, it was asserted the Ger ' man propaganda line was that Britain and the United States would split hence that the over run countries would have every thing to rain by holding oh if or 'that eventuality. i When 7it became obvious that 'such a severance would never de- velop, the propaganda line shifted to the theme that Russia would desert her allies. "" - Marshal Stalin's appearance at ' Teheran and his participation in that conference dissipated that " idea, and hope 'was growing, in deed one source asserted that the hope amounted to confident ex pectation that -an uprising against the German gestapo and German - dominated governments In the Balkans could come in . February.' Then, this source said, the rail way strike threatened. Leading to the army's-being" ordered to take : over the railroads, and provid ' lng the third propaganda line.; It was added: ".. j ' The mere statement in those Balkan countries thati"the army - has had to take over the Ameri l can railroads and the steel wor-'- kers may strike" served to raise new doubts of early allied vic tory and strengthen the argu ments of all holding such con viction that if they hung on with " the Germans a little longer chaos N in the United States would make it possible for them to get more liberal treatment at the' peace j table. . . j . ,The o,uestV;n of whether the j strategic situation has been so . presented to railway and steel union leaders prior to the current developments in their .fields, brought the reply that it was not clear htat such a point had been made. . The principal emphasis seems to have been placed on the plea that the railroads must be kept ; running to avoid retarding the I movement of war-vital materiel. That isn't me problem, it was asserted the railroads will be kept running all right. j The problem Is how to coun teract the ' propaganda line that ' chaos is at hand in the United States and get the United States ' 7to Tealize that delay in the ex plosion : which our propaganda is trying to promote abroad means delay in final victory and the loss of uncounted American lives that the early realization of that ex plosion could save.
