FACING FACTS paper-carrier- The military situation of the united nations, on every fighting front, has improved greatly during the past few months. This is easily demonstrable and so encouraging that the more volatile analysts may have read too much significance into it. On every street corner, at every bar and in most living rooms, amateur strategists are saying confidently that the collapse of Gcripany is in sight, that we can expect peace in the Occident, at leastbefore another New Year. Admiral Halsey, our commander in the South Pacific, offers the same pleasing prophecy. hopes d that these enthusiasts are right. Rut most of the observers feel that Admiral Halsey should not be taken too literally. Accepting Winston Churchills phrase that the north African venture murks the end of the beginning, conservative analysts fed that the year 1943 will bring the beginning of the end that the axis will be put permanently on the run, but cannot be crushed into capitulation before 1944. Everybody better-grounde- Weather conditions as reflected in the surfaces of roads and airfields may prevent anv all-oattack on Tunis and Bizerte before late February. Hitler has reinforced his troops there for a major stand, and even with luck it may be summer before we can hope to open up the Mediterranean and consolidate our positions for an invasion of the continent. The Russians are doing marvelously. But we must not forget that the German scheme of winter defense hinges upon maintenance of numerous strong points rather than a continuous battle line. ut i It is not enough that the soviets encircle they must obliterate! And the farthei the Russians go, the shorter become the Germans lines of communication and the harder Stalins task. Despite Secretary Knoxs flat disclaimer, every 'indication points to an alarming concentration of Japanese strength at Rabaul for some as yet undisclosed purpose. Australian sources contend that wc do not have enough air strength there to warrant overconfidence. We are a long way from licking the shipping problem. Ultimate victory has turned the corner. But it still is a long way down a rocky road. Well do better in the long run by being realistic. STEEL ACHIEVEMENT In all the talk about materials shortage it is easy to overlook American industrial achievement. We are short of steel; that is, we do not have enough to do everything we really need to do. Yet the steel mills have accomplished miracles. In 1P40 we produced 67 million tons. Today ourcapacity 3 it will be 97 million tons. is SO million tons. By can produce only 50 and together Japan Germany. Italy , mid-194- to 55 million tons.

So short is the meat supply that rustling of livestock has broken out in some parts of the island and the authorities have been faced with a formid- able black market. A senatorial investigating committee under Dennis Chavez of Ncy Mexico, on the island now, will return soon and report. Acuteness , of metal shortage is indicated by two recent Washington orders. One, issued by WPB, reducing to 5 per cent the tin content of toothpaste tubes, will have only 100 tons of tin, but that saving is important. Another order, issued by the Army, replacing metal buttons on soldiers uniforms with molded plastic, will save only 180 tons of brass, but that too is considered important. 'IN. 1Uv |
