This seems to be the decision of the Nazi warriors —that there will be ho capitulation. The allied armies of the United States, Britain and Russia probably will continue until Germany will have nothing left surrender. However, the prospect of lingering unorganized guerrilla warfare is not something to look forward to with good cheer. Not only will this mean that many more young Americans will have to remain in Germany even after that nation has been conquered, but it may mean that the fighting will continue long after it might have ceased, long after anyone but a madman would realize that further resistance would serve no purpose. For this reason, the Allied leaders have agreed that either the death or capture of Hitler might well serve to bring the conflict to a close.

Ye the Nazis knew the uses of civilian chaos, and they did their utmost to promote it-in the van of every offensive they undertook. Now the shoe is on the other foot. German civ-, ilians are hopelessly entangled with the militar machine which has been driven back from ev corner of Europe. Air raids, refugees and the m)llmm of slave laborers are the ingredients of a grim stew which is verging from a simmer to a boil It is in recognition of this danger, and by confession that a state of chaos prevails in many of the Reich, that the Nazis have ordered the reg jstration of all civilian refugees, canceled virtually all army leaves, and made provision for immediate and drastic punishment of deserters and defeati among soldiers or civilians. Typical of the ferocity wilh‘ which the Nazis are holding Germany in the war to the bitter end, families of soldiers who surrender to the Allies are being shot en masse. Typical, too, | the manner in which bridges across the Rhine have been blasted by Storm Troopers and Gestapo men while Germans were Crossing. These devices unquestionably will keep Germany in the war a while longer than would have been pos- sible otherwise—the net effect being to bring more complete the final ruin of the Reich.

FDR’s reply, briefly put, was: “If they don't behave, I'll fire ‘em.” The President also reminded Mrs. Roosevelt that he was running foreign affairs himself. There is no question but that the President is anxious above all else to avoid ¢he failure of his old chigf Woodrow Wilson, and has set as his most cherished goal the winning of the peace after the war, But today, with many other problems to watch, the President cannot devote all his time to fore- ign affairs, In addition, his periods of rest and relaxation necessarily have become longer, so that he is not in Washington much formerly.
