NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 1411° Fourth Avenue Bldg., Seattle, Wash, AIR OFFENSIVE Of Germany's 25 largest cities, 17 of them, includ- ing the three most populous Berlin, Hamburg, Cologne — have been heavily blasted from the air. Of the remaining eight, only three — Breslau and Chamittz — have wholly or caped bombing attack. Adding to these 17 large cities that have been répeatedly attacked in force the great number of smaller cities that have been heavily raided, it is possible that probably more than one person of every largely es- three in Germany has had the experience of living | through one or more aerial blitz. Today. there is literally no place within the Reich beyond the range of British and American bombers. | But we are preparing for an invasion of Germany, doing so because if Germany is to be defeated, only a terrible defeat of the German Army can make this possible. Germany's war lords know this, and they have been preparing during recent months for meeting this expected invasion. German retaliation to Allied air attacks has been on a minor scale—a small raid now and then.

It is apparent that Germany has been saving strength for the ultimate test At the moment of this invasion, and through the subsequent Battle of Europe, the Allfes must hold unchallenged control of the English Channel and complete supremacy of the air over this strip of water and the landing beaches on the other side. For that reason thére can be no slackening of Allied air blows, no resting up for the test by our side. For we are attacking, not waiting to receive the blow and attempt to ward it off In Three Parts (Cincinnati Enquirer) When we consider World War II we think most of what men and weapons are doing on the world's fighting fronts. Actually, however, we should look at the war as being in three phases, one phase of which has been won, the second phase of which is being won and the third phase of which is in the blueprint stage The first phase was the industrial war, with the principal battle front situated here in the United States. All of us remember the crises on this front material and workmen with such speed that we plied problem upon problem. Speed was all important be- cause our enemies had a start of years in equipping their armies At the time this industrial war was being fought through one bottleneck after another men with little | more than courage were trying to hold back tanks and airplanes with rifles. Such was Bataan. At the same | time other armies were being raised and trained to |use the weapons yet to be made. When the day | came that we could match the Jap and the Nazi | equipment on the land, on the sea and in the air our | enemies halted their headlong advance in the Pa- cific, in Russia and in skies over England and Europe Germany and her vassal and captive lands became | | targets for increasing loads of bombs. Enemy armies | began to retreat. Allied victories increased The industrial victory in this country has been | such that in November a complete plane was turned | | out every five minutes and 164 new merchant ships | | were launcheéd. Shipyards are equipped to turn out | ‘mght aircraft carriers a month. The year's program | of 260 destroyer escorts was completed a month ahead of time. The Navy is so strong that Frank ¥nox | | announces in advance when a new blow at the Japs is contemplated. This does not mean that many months of blood and sacrifice are not ahead, but it can be added up | to an Allied victory. | While victory is of paramount importance now, the third phasé of the war--the making of the peale | —will have the greatest influence on our lives in the years to come. A proper peace is the only hope we can have for a cessation of these periodic wars that sap the resources of the world. This phase is still in the planning stage. It encompasses everything from our future relations with the other nations of the world to reconversion of our factories from war to peace goods without the stranding of armies of work- ers and (lah(mg men. v truly yours, ‘E.

NATIONAL ISSUES: AMIOIO- |gers have often touched upon Lhe seeming injustices brought .lboull by war. There will be strong re- sentment among many who have suffered losses but the importance of faith and recognition of the privilege of serving is emphasized by those who read the stars. INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS: A mingling of happiness and sor- row is foretold.

However, insiders who know| something about the personal uvul-} ries of Washington, see in it also| the desire vf Donald Nelson to grab| thé ball away from Baruch and “Assistant President” Jimmie| Byrnes. These two long havei wanted to get Nelson out, and at| one time FDR actually signed a Xet-r ter appointing Baruch chairman ch a special committee to take over all war produetion. NOTE—Before Nelson got buxy\ on reconversion, Baruch had been asked by the White House to study plans for converting industry back to a peace basis ACROSS . Heavy nall . Diamond- cutting cup .
