Eden warned, however, that lt would be an error if "we read into the marked improvement of our fortunes a signal that the main battle is -won." He spoke durine the war de bate which was opened yesterday by Prime Minister Wmston Churshill, who said none could guarantee that the European war would not continue well into 1945. Eden said reports had been re cived that Nazi Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler already is mak ing preparations for continued resistance re-sistance during the occupation of Germany by "fanatical young Nazis who are now being trained." He said the hardest problem would not be the military occupation occupa-tion of Germany, but the civil administration ad-ministration "which must be done by the Germans." 'What we mean by unconditional uncondi-tional surrender is that we are not prepared to make a negotiated peace with Germany, and the reasons are based on the experience experi-ence of history. and on the inter pretation which Germany placed on the 14 points after the last war," he said. "We cannot take these risks again. We have information that the German general staff, recog nizing the inevitability of defeat, already is thinking in terms of the next war."
