What Is Hitlers
"N a trip just concluded to Pendleton, the skipper
of this department talked with a number of army
aviators, ranging from a flying-major down to a
ground-crew mechanic.
In view of the general
Hitler will strike next, the
of the flyers are interesting
"Of course, I have no inside information, Dut my guess
Is this: That parachute attack on Crete, in spite of Berlin
denials, was a real dress-rehearsal for an all-out blow at
England, and that Is what the Nazis are getting ready for
while they send out false alarms from the Russian border.
Why not? Hitler can win the war by crushing England,
and he can't win without. Time is against him. Why should
he wait? It's now or never with Adolf.
"So that's my guess.
"And another thing! I don't know anyone who denies
this war is going to be decided in the air. But If the dope
in the U. S. air force la right, the air battle has now come
down to the matter of stratosphere fighting, air-bombers
that can drop their eggs from six and seven miles up. There
is no defense for that attack except fighter planes that are
also equipped for stratosphere combat.
"Now, the latest dope is when Germany has her strato
sphere bombers ready, the invasion of England will start.
Meanwhile Britain for six months has been concentrating
on manufacture of stratosphere fighters and U. S. factories
are doing the same, for British aid. The outcome, therefore,
is pretty much a question of which gets there first. England
and America make better planes and have more skillful
pilots, but Germany has had the edge in numbers, on mass
production. In our outfit we are betting two to one the all
out attack on England will start before July 4th, and the
war will be over, one way or the other, before Christmas."
Will HitleTFight Stalin?
THE above prognosis may be no nearer the mark
1 than a thousand others, but it IS interesting, and
at least makes more sense than some that have been
given more publicity, an all-out war between Hitler
and Stalin, for example.
Of course anything is
mad, but why should Hitler abandon the very comer
stone of his successful military strategy at this critical
time?
THERE probably would never have been a war had
Hitler not succeeded in securing that non-aggression
pact with Soviet Russia in August, 1939.
In fact there is little doubt Hitler hoped by that
pact to IRON-OUT the Polish corridor as he had
IRONED-OUT Austria and Czechoslovakia, without
firing a shot.
For without Russian aid he undoubtedly was
convinced England would never go to war for Poland,
But with the usual Teutonic
the psychology of any other nation, he blundered
regarding England precisely as Bethmann-liollweg
blundered in 1914, and probably much to his
surprise and consternation World War No. 2 was on.
AT that time, in fact, it has been reliably reported,
Hitler called in his two leading generals and
asked them what they thought about the chances of
winnine a war against England and France. Their
reply was the chances were excellent, if the fatal
error of 1914 were avoided; namely, bringing Russia
into the conflict and thus necessitating a general
European war on two fronts.
IN a sense now, there is no western front. But, on the
other hand, Germany is engaged in north Africa,
and the Near East, so it is scarcely probable Hitler
wishes to complicate matters by also taking on
Stalin's red millions, at least until the struggle with
Britain is decided.
Moreover, by all accounts, Russia wants above
everything else to avoid a general war, and is not,
industrially or politically, prepared for war.
IN other words, assuming Hitler has decided now is
the time to secure the wheat of the Ukraine and
Baku oil, what is there to prevent his getting both,
without an armed conflict
There is no doubt whatever he has been getting
them (oil and wheat surpluses at least) from Russia
ever since the war started.
Why should this not continue?
aaa
CO unless Der Reichsfuenrer has gone completely
crazy (and we grant he wouldn't have far to go)
the probabilities certainly are all this talk of a Russian
mobilization and a Russo-German conflict comprises
a smoke screen to hide Germany s real intentions.
And those "real intentions" may well be the
invasion of England, for all we know.
And they may just as well not be, for the SAME
reason !
Time to Call It a Day
IJAVE Messrs. Lindbergh, Wheeler, Nye, et al,
called off their anti-war campaign, or is this
merely the lull before another storm?
We hope the former.
For while those three gentlemen. or any
others, have a perfect right to say what they think,
and do what they can to keep their country out of
World War No. 2, the plain and obvious fact is the
country is already in it.
And has been in it, ever since the passage of the

THE plain truth is, at least as we see it, the
United States, to all practical intents and
purposes is now just as much a participant in World
War No. 2 as is China, or Yugoslavia or Holland;
though thanks to the distance away of the enemy we
have not suffered as they have.
So while we don't doubt the RIGHT of our
isolationists to keep up this anti-war talk as long as
no actual war declaration is made, we do doubt the
further wisdom or efficacy of such action.
And we hope, in view of recent developments,
THEY do.

supplied in the three food ma

material such as egg white, lean
meat, milk curd or cheese, or
the protein in wheat, beans,
nuts) yielding 640 calories; 2'4

to 840 calories: and 10 to 12
ounces of carbohydrate yield

is the reason why dessert Is all

work hard. They need more car

In some circumstances the diet

a silly and sometimes a danger

A CCOUNTS differ. The Brit-

"continuing."
The Italians say the British
were "repulsed with losses."
The Germans claim destruction

Remember that the Robin
Moor is an "incident." "Inci
dents" spark national decisions
in times of stress. It was the
Lusitania incident that pushed
us Into the last war.
"There are three possible rea-
sons for the to'rpedoing of
the Robin Moor:
1. The Germans are cracking
down on U. S. aid to Britain,
and arc prepared to take the con
seouences. 2. The submarine commander
was too brash.
3. Hitler wanted to know
how the American public would
respond to the torpedoing of an
American ship.
QF the three, the last Is the
most probable. If it turns
out that the Incident Isn't satis

mander to be renrimandrd.

aw a. Mala Dial mi;
Closing of Nazi Consulates
Direct Challenge to Hitler
iThi. j.m. (..tun. conducted hv DeWitt MacKensle, is being
written in hli absence on vacation by Fred' Vanderschmidt).
Mr. Roosevelt's decision toi
close the German consulates and
tourist-propaganda agencies in ;
this country on the ground that
their activities have been inimi
cal to our welfare presents to
Nazi world policy a piercing
challenge, in some ways the
strongest since Sir Nevile Hen-
derson delivered Britain's two
hour ultimatum to the Wilhelm
strasse on September 3, 1939.
The step was taken with full
knowledge that Germany has
the right, (almost, under normal
international procedure, the ob
ligation) to take precisely simi
lar retaliation against United
States consulates in the terri
tory she controls or against
United States nationals whom
the Nazis may deem to be en
gaged in gerra-official trade,
travel or Information services.
Hitler's Way Different
In speculating on Hitler's re
action, however, one must re
member that accepted interna
tional procedure, such as the
severance of diplomatic relations
in the calm and traditional man
ner, is not the Hitler way.
One must also take note of the
fact that the German public up
to this morning does not even
know the bare facts of the case
and certainly has not been pre
pared for a diplomatic break
with the United States, much
less a state of war. An abrupt
diplomatic break, on Germany's
initiative and unpreceded by
elaborate explanation and in
ternal propaganda, would be a
stunning blow to German morale
and an admission of German ag
gression intent.
If Hitler follows the pattern
he has cut out for himself, we
may expect another reichstag
speech in which the Roosevelt
administration will be compre
hensively damned for unreason
ing warmaking and Germany
completely whitewashed, plus a
thunderous press campaign
against the United States which
will climb to new heights of
venom. Not until then if the
pattern is followed is Ger
many's complete reprisal likely
to be revealed, although prelimi
nary action is possible as a face
saving device.
Reaction Cautious
The case of the Robin Moor
and the freezing of axis credits
must, of course, be considered
as integral parts of the present
German-American picture. Au
thorized nazl spokesmen have
talked up belligerently on the
Robin Moor (for foreign, not
German, consumption) and have
declared "we will shoot when
ever any ship with contraband
sails for England." The reac
tion on the credit freezing was
far more cautious; instead, the
Germans pushed Italy to the
front and let Mussolini take re
taliatory action. Washington has
so far ignored this obvious ma
neuver and the consulate-closing
order of last night did not take
in the axis partner.

Portland, Ore.. June 17. (.V)
Col. Joseph L. Stromme, Port
land airbase commander, said to
day that the war department was
considering increasing its per
sonnel to approximately 5,000.
The 55th pursuit group can
tonment covers 60 acres and has
132 buildings to house a total
of 2,116 men although only 1,900
are there now.
The officer's announcement
coincided with that of Port of
Portland officials that an addi
tional 45 acres adjacent to the
cantonment had been placed
under option by the government.
