Willkie on Second Front: . The critics who score Wendell L Willkie for bis second front speech In Moscow must concede ). that it had the desired effect.

Adoll Hiller Fears United States Might J I Would Offset Fears In Occupied Lands By JOE ALEX MORRIS <UP Foreign Editor) Ixmdon. Oct. I.—(UP) — Adolf , Hitler has thrown his personal prewlige behind a »lrange gew ( trend in German propaganda de- < signed to offset fears in German oc- , cupied countries of the armed might of tbe United States, Allied experts believed today, after anal- , yzlng hie winter relief speech. It had been noted recently that | , Paul Jokeph Goebbels. German ( propaganda minister, was making , jtrenuoux effort* to lesoen the long- < standing respect of Europeans for United Stales production and Allied ( successes in transporting men and material for future offensive oper- ( at ions. i Today these i-xpei ta believed i that Hitler's speech had conflrmedb their suspicion, that the Naxia' were worried regarding European public reaction to tbe role of the United States In tbe war aa well as by Germany’s failure to take Stalingrad. It is important tn this connection to emphasize that nobody In London believes that Hitler or his Nazi fanatics have lost conftdenee tn victory or that the Germans are < recking up. A, a matter of fact the whole tone of Hitler’s speech was regarded as reflecting his personal confldeue’-. Bui Ibe biggest Nasi problem St present is to convince the people of Germany and of France and other occupied countries thst United Stat-a power ha, been nullified To meet this problem. Goebbels, foreign minister Joachim Von Rib bentrop and even the German high command have resorted for the first time to deaperste measures in a attempt to persuade Flurope that tbe Axis is able to score victories over troop convoys on the way to Great Britain. Russia and the middle east and that tbe Allie, <aa not invade Europe despite the disruption of the German schedule tn Russia and growing Allied air. land and sea strength generally. These unusual development* were noted: 1— Goebbels made false claims thst American troop transports and a big Allied copvoy to Russia had been sunk, ballyhooing the sanerHorn throughout Germany and the occupied areas J- An unusual tuna »w made over tbe arrival of a single Japan ese submarine at a Nasi Atlaatic base despite tbe obvious Mee of oae Mubmartoe is the bMi He of the Allaatk which Uss been awmg'M against the Nasis. i 3-Tbe elaborate explanations by r Hitler of tbe vast dißcaltie* la Ruasls and by Nasi propagandist, of ibe speclflc dUßcaitioo at Stslin- ’ grad — dlflkultiea whkh seeai to I endaugec it not disrupt ths wbok Nasi campaign strategy, | s—Nasi foreign mhUHor Rib be a grep s estoaotve aad sertoaa da-

serlpiion of the- "hard fight ahea" for the Axis; folowcd by Hitler’a hints that tbe German* are preparing to go on the defensive for an unstated period while they seek to organise their conquests in Russia and elsewhere. Greatest Interest here centered on tin- Nazi claims- largely false —regarding the battle of tbe Atlantic. both In connection with transports to Russia and to the British isle*. The Nazi broadcasts icgardtng the Japanese submarine were dismissod here as pure whoopla. But Goebb--r* mythical warfare against the Atlantic convoy* se-mc-d to have more mc-aning.

Therefore, it wa* thought, the Germans sre devoting special efforts toward convincing tbe homeland and the occupied countries, particularly France, that s second front Is not possible and that Russia’s defeat Is certain, both dur to' the alleged destruction of convoys and transport*.
