ANY reasonably sane man who .was in London in October, 1941, had to come to the reluctant conclusion that England was al most finished. The Luftwaffe was chipping away at London nearly every night. Bombs had put many of the railroad terminals out of action, a hard blow because trains bearing war materiel all had to go through London. A dozen cities had been leveled, and the Luftwaffe seemed to grow stronger. The only news that came from the fight ing fronts was bad news. The Germans had occupied Greece, Yugoslavia, and Crete. On the Eastern front, the Germans were only 50 miles from Moscow, and most military observers thought that Russia soon would be knocked out of the war. This would release thousands of German planes to concentrate on bringing England to her knees. Rommel's Afrika Korps was clobbering British troops in the Libyan desert. Lend-Lease had brought England only a trickle of planes, tanks, and guns. It was difficult for a correspondent like myself to write anything cheerful about the situation. We had exhausted the sub ject of the heroic fighting done by the R.A.F., and the courage of London's civilians was now an old story. Many correspondents already had made up their minds that the Germans would soon invade England and that England had no adequate artillery or armored forces to stop them. The U.S. was not in the war yet, but there were a great many American military observers in England, and those to whom I talked were unani mous in saying that she was finished. It was hard not to share their views. IT was during this dark period that I re ceived an amazing telephone call. It was from Mrs. Winston Churchill, asking me to have lunch the next day at Chequers, the traditional country home of British prime ministers. I was delighted but puzzled. I had never met either the Prime Minister or Mrs. Churchill. But I was ready when a car called for me. Less than an hour later, I was being greeted by a grinning Churchill. "We have a friend of yours staying with us," he said. "Harry Hopkins. Hopkins is going to deliver a radio address on the B.B.C. next Sunday. He has had a long flight from Washington, and he thought you might help him with his speech." That solved the mystery of why I had been invited. Only the Churchills, Harry Hopkins, and Averell Harriman were pres ent at lunch, which, to my surprise, was an informal, almost gay, affair. The war was hardly mentioned. family Wrrkly, May II, JMJ The Secret of Victory By QUENTIN REYNOLDS Author of "London Diary," "Drasi Rehaoriol," "Courtroom," "Known But to God," and th forthcoming autobiography, "By Quontfn Reynolds" 1 V 1 tf Churchill's proud spirit filled the room. Though the Nazis were winning on all fronts, he was confident of final victory.
