Estimates on how soon Russian {deliveries in large quantities can begin to flow vary, but some German experts have stated it would take two years before German-Rus-sian trade could reach a volume where it might sustain German economy materially. Until then, it has been stated that Germany will be forced to live on her reserves and on imports which—as in the case of such vital war materials as Rumanian oil and Jugoslavian copper—are insufficient and in the case of Turkish chromium have ceased altogether. When Germany's reserves are depleted, she might be in a serious position unless replenishments have really started flowing steadily and in quantity. If the German-Russian pact does not live up to German expectations, it will not be the fault of the Germans. They realize its importance and are trying everything possible to remove the kinks. Its importance was perhaps best expressed by Adolf Hitler himself in his statement that Germany must | “export or die,” which means that the exports must bring needed goods flowing in the other direction.

Germany's need is not immediate

All Europe fears the ast birds 4 to ‘herald pring will be birds of Ml.omen,: deadly bombers, , bringing

spring Falnyeol death and destruction.

The German man in the street has been told these things .and

understands them. His attitude is that he is ready to suffer a long haul, or. to fight for a knockout when the order is given. The general public is convinced that nothing but a miracle can prevent a violent increase. in the fighting as soon as the weather permits. Not sure whether Germany or the Allies will take the offensive, the public seems certain that the drive will come in the air and that it will be vicious. There is no sign of tragic apprehension, but just a stolid acceptance of facts. Public speeches by Herr Hitler and other Nazi leaders have told the people that Germany must and will win the war; for one thing, because the right is on her side, and, fur another, because she is prepared. March is traditionally Hitler's “lucky month” and that thought unquestionably is bulking large in the average man’s—and perhaps Herr Hitler's—speculation of the chances of a sudden military or political triumph, ° The newspapers and the radio have incessantly pounded home the claim that so far the advantage has been all in Germany's favor and that the enemy. is afraid to admit his losses. German figures of almost 2,000,000 tons of enemy and neutral shipping sunk are pointed to as an achievement unapproached by the enemy in any field. While the propaganda has not

necessarily given the public a false sense of security, it seems to have convinced them of the Reich’s military superiority. Personal observation cannot fail to have shown every man and woman in the country that Germany has spent. the last six months in producing armaments and munitions -at record speed. Tens of thousands of women have! been drafted into the munitions industry. They have been called from shops, kitchens, schools, offices, hotels, factories and even night clubs to help produce shells, powder and airplane parts. Of the BE ‘more than 4,000.000 already are under arms and new ones, some of them veterans oi the last war and fathers of several children, are being called up every dey. Leading Nazis display in private conversations the same’ confidence reflected in their public addresses. They say England cannot win this time either with military or economic weapons. Herr Hitler is described by those close to him as calmly sure of victory, content with the progress of the war so far and anything but nervous about the prospects. For the last five or six weeks there has been talk in some quarters of a victorious peace before autumn and of a great victory along Unter Den Linden in midsummer. An unforeseen enemy has cropped up in the form of what is said to be the hardest winter in 135 years. It played havoc with the railway system, already heavily overburdened.

Battle—No!

BOSTON, March 14 (U. P.) ~The prize in the “battle of glamour” between debutante and professional models was won by a “sneak entry” of female impersonators from Harvard’s Hasty Pudding. Club. The team of ‘four begowhed models “muscled” into the contest at the “Karnaval” staged for the Polish Relief Fund last night and carried off the “honors.” The judges fled. Miss Leslie Blake, who quit the debutante team at the 11th hour, won a cup for physical’ perfection, and led the professional team to second place in the “glamour” modeling contest. Miss Anne Phillips, daughter of the U. S. Ambasador to Italy, and her team of society girls failed to place in the contest, outcome of a challenge by the professionals: who protested that the society gills were taking their “bread-and-but-ter jobs” by modeling fof nothing. The four judges, including cartoonist Petey Arno and Princess Gourielli-Tchkonia (Helena Rubenstein)), unamimously favored Miss Blake's team of 12 until intermission. Then, while the audience exclaimed, four Harvard “girls” stalked to the stage. Before startled attendants could act, it was an-

armaments factories. By no stretch of ‘the imagina-| tion cart it be said that the German people are any happier about the war than they were six, four or two months ago. Peace tomorrow would loose a surge of jubilation such as the troubled Reich has not known for years. The winter was a sore -trial for the average citizen, winter of scarce and often frozen vegetables and chilly or entirely unheated of-' fices and homes. Signs on shop windows of “No potatoes today” are: not conducive of cheer, nor are signs of “No flashlight batteries,” or “No paper handkerchiefs.” Neither are slow railroad journeys in frigid coaches. The average man has shown patience and discipline. He has learned that he must pitch in with every penny and every. ounce of energy to help win the ‘war. Moreover, any thought the -average German may have had earlier that France was a tepid ally of England has now been dispelled. England is the -chiel enemy upon whom scorn and. vituperation are heaped. every ‘hour of the day, -but the official press now cries: “Germany again has become the hereditary enemy of France.
