Interesting also ‘was his confirmation that it would be next year before the conquered Russian territory could be really utilized.

Ridicule Covers Uncertainty

Hitler was typical in his use of irony, sarcasm, ridicule, and ‘even occasional clowning, in referring to enemy setbacks such as Dunkirk, Crete, and, Dieppe. His use of the same tone in referring to things, such as the second front threat, which are undoubtedly worrying him a great deal, seemed typical of the Nazi use of Ridicule to hide uncertainty. He pointed out that both the Germans and the Japanese have won virtually all of the big victories thus far, and promised no more for the immediate futrue except that the Japanese would occupy all New Guinea and that the Nazis would take Stalingrad. He used many of the old familiar clinches such as assuring his listeners vidence was aiding the German cause; referring to the Jews as the cause of the war and all evils, and threatening even

President Roosevelt as war monger No. 1; expressing peculiarly personal disdain of Eden and Duff-Cooper, whose sartorial elegance particularly annoys him (he has referred to Eden as “that lacquered monkey”); and threatening revenge upon England for mass air raids; characterizing the Russians as a “barbarous and bestial enemy,” essentially because they would not admit it when he thought they were licked.

The History Is Left Out

The speech contained relatively little brimstone invective and ranting fury; the tendency was more to irony; hor did it contain the usual tiresome review of history. |. Hitler speeches are difficult for most foreigners and many Germans to understand, and a lot of meanings are often wished into them. As nearly as I can judge, this particular effusion will have a good effect on German morale, will give them reassurance in a way that no amount of Goebbels’ canned propaganda could at a time when—facing their fourth war winter—they probably badly need it. - To the united nations it essentially expresses the challenge: “Okay, I’ve got mine, and I'm going to hold it. I'm getting ready for you whenever you try to get it away from me, too.”

last war—was the victim of a Japanese warship.

Previously Japanese destroyers and cruisers have been reported in the vicinity of American positions in the islands. On a number of occasions, they have sneaked in close at night and bombarded American shore points, usually with inconsequental results.

Former Liner Also Sunk

In the earlier stages of the Solomons battle, the Japanese sought to rétake the islands by large scale frontal assaults. But these were smashed by the American air force. Now, experts believe, the enemy is trying to weaken the American hold on the islands by other methods before undertaking another fulldress offensive. In the same communique revealing loss of the Gregory, the navy belatedly disclosed the destruction of the 8379-ton naval transport George F. Effiott, the former liner City of Los Angeles.
