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.
