From reports and estimates of conservative writ
ers from Washington and standard magazines the
prospects of an early end of the war are far from en
couraging. That the Allies will win and that the
Axis will be defeated are well assured from all sur
veys, but when and at what cost we will secure peace
are yet indefinite.
It is safe to say thaat Russia has defeated Hitler.
That is, if defeat means no chance to win. Hitler had
to get out of Europe this year, but he didn’t make it.
This country has defeated Japan, if by the same to
ken Japan has no chance to win. Japan had to knock
out our navy and gain air supremacy this year which
she did not do. She loses in every engagement, sea,
air or land, and with our rapidly gaining forces and
equipment she can make no permanent gains. Italy
is just a question mark, and figures little in the final
estimates.
A stalemate for a period is all the Axis forces can
hope for.
But Germany is well entrenched within the boun
daries of Europe. If German morale holds she will
hold out a long time. Hitler can fight defensively,
it is generally considered through 1943. Japan yet
has resources to draw from in her conquered coun
tries, and has a million men on the Siberian border
to threaten Russia and our attempts to gain bases in
Kamchatka. It is, therefore, estimated that Japan
may hold out through 1944, even if Hitler falls.
We have made a bold attack in Africa, but that
battle is not won, and has prospects of being deadly.
We are scattered over the world with our assistance
to the Allies, and cannot concentrate on one or two
fronts. Our job is the biggest in supplying our fight
ing friends with the equipments and munitions of
war. So far, ours is not a brilliant display. But be
hind most every battle we are there and are increas
ing v so. By next mid-summer we are assured of
having much greater power in every phase of the
conflict, and it will be then that we will likely make
our mark on the events of history.
