NEWS FROM RUSSIA, Every day’s news from the Soviet seems to re- port new gains and confirms the belief that the Nazis are in danger of suffering a decisive defeat on that front. This defeat cannot be measured in favorable changes on the map, because gains have been slight compared with the vast areas which the invaders have conquered since they invaded Russia in June, 1941 A year ago, Leningrad was almost encircled and the Nazis were 150 miles west of Stalingrad, now one of their salients. Leningrad is still encircled And in the southeast the Germans, although re- treating in some places, still retain a huge gain made last summer in a thrust aimed at the Caucasus oil fields. But the Germans have been pushed back north and south of the great Volga city,. and the Rus- sians are threatening to recapture Rostov. The Germans are retreating again, but they have not been routed and are still capable of de- livering punishing counter-attacks. But it is the territory which the Germans did not gain, rather than ground the Reds have re- gained, that is important. Hitler promised his people the city of Stalin- grad. His armies could not take Stalingrad and so could not cut the traffic on the Volga, the goal of the Nazi drive. Hitler's forces could not penetrate the Caucasus far enough to gain control of Russias chief oil supplies. Above all, the Nazis have not been able to break the magnificent spirit of the Russians. Hitler's plan was to complete this conquest and release vast armies to the westward. This, he cannot safely do now. It was almost two ears ago that Hitler sent ( |longed at Jesse terms of | his forces marching into Russia. At that time, many !predicted that he had at last taken on something too large for his ability. Then as the Nazi legions bit huge chunks out of Soviet territory, the hape for a Russian victory faded. It is a fortunate and & |glorious thing that the hope of the Russian Army |has not faded in the least. Russia may yet bgcome Hitler's Verdun. | Spain and the Democracies” | (New York Times) The immediate question raised by General Fran- |co's address to the Falange National Council is |whether a leader who associates himself so whole- (mindedly with the Nazi and Fascist revolutions would remain neutral if he could in the event that {the Germans demand passage through Spanish ter- |ritory.
