Timing Court Martial . . . Syndicate-WN- WASHINGTON. U Service.) How long the war will last is perhaps the most vital question to every man, woman and child in America, always assuming that we KNOW the answer to an obviously more vital question: "Who is going to win?" Most of the answers to the first have been very discouraging. They run from three to ten years, everybody, from Roosevelt and Churchill down, assuming that we are going to be on the receiving end of attacks during most of the present year. But two men in Washington, whose voices have been listened to with more and more respect as the war has developed, have a more cheerful view. Unfortunately the writer cannot name them. If he could, the words of either, alone, in this connection would make the front page of every newspaper from Eastport, Maine, to San Diego. Both are predicting now that the war in Europe win end by the fall of 1943! Both men know their Europe intimately. One Is best knows as a diplomat and the other as an economist, but both base their opinion as to how long the war will last on economic and morale factors. In a nutshell, neither thought any part of Europe can stand another winter of this war without cracking, and this includes Germany. The economist was telling friends, last fall, that he thought Germany woud crack in the faU of 1942. He changed his view after Japan's initial victories. He now thinks the hope given the Germans by Japan's successes against both the British and the United States will postpone the crackup perhaps through one more winter. But the German people, he insists, will not be able to face winter on top of that Depend on Nazi Offensive a little The diplomat Is actually more optimistic than the economist. He is still talking about all Europe cracking in- nine months,,: which brings us to the fall of 1942. He concedes, however, that it is possible, especially if the Nazis should make a successful offensive this summer and the Jap successes should continue in the Southwest Pacific, that the Germans might stand one more winter. But NEVER two, he insists. Both men admit the war is Just as hard if not harder on most of the other people in Europe as it is on the Germans. But the other peoples of Europe have very little to say about it. All this leaves out the British, but there is no question about what they will do, so far as continuing to fight is concerned. The diplomat's version is that the Germans will crack THIS fall, and that the job of the United Nations then will be to concentrate on Japan, which, he figures would be just a question of time after the German menace is removed. Both think Russia would be eager to remove the Japanese threat in the Far East once and for all, and that Stalin's air power, hitting the Japanese both in China and in their home islands, would make that phase of the war a mopping up operation. All of which is presented because of the writer's high opinion of the judgment of the two men cited, plus the fact that it i3 a little more cheerful than the actual war news! - Three Clashing Opinion Concerning Officer' Trials There are three violently clashing opinions about the timing of the court martials of the army and navy commanders held responsible for the Pearl Harbor debacle. The most generally held is that the trials of Maj. Gen. Walter C. Short and Rear Adm. Husband E. Kimmel should be postponed until after the war. The second is that it would be cruel to the officers and their families to keep them under such a cloud considering possibly that a court martial might hold them guiltlessfor what may be a very long period. The third is a combination of the motives actuating both the other groups, and would provide fox a secret court martial, so that the defense would be able to present all sorts of testimony, or argument, which for strategic reasons should not be made public. In his defense of his own conduct of the war, it will be recalled, Churchill laid a great deal of the responsibility for the fall of Hongkong and Singapore on Pearl Harbor. He mentioned also, of course, the loss of the Prince of Wales and Repulse, and left the clear implication that if it had not been for those two disasters, both of which, critics allege, are directly due to the conviction of so many admirals that airplanes could not sink battleships, the whole story of the Southwest Pacific operations might have been very different. air-mind- ed were Bemember the songs we senti1917?
