Warnings from Prime Minister Winston Churchill and others have put a lid on all speculation of offensive operations. But J. L. Garvin, the redoubtable expert of the Sunday Express, says “there is a general instinct, right or wrong, that something is brewing on the side of the western powers. “Nothing changes the judgment everywhere that 1942 is the year of years. . . . An Anglo-American offensive can turn the scales with mass bombing plus a second front. That is why Lyttleton’s estimate of the coming new phase of the war either means powerful intervention or it means nothing.” However, it is obvious that we still are not gaining rapidly enough against the axis. That is emphasized by pleas from all fighting fronts for more planes, more tanks, more men. And the golden opportunity to take advantage of the Red army’s historic resistance by striking at Germany still is going begging.

The Americans carried out eight separate raids over a four-day period, bombing a Japanese destroyer and heavily damaging enemy bases. In the Aleutians, army bombers were operating from their new bases in the Andreanof group, which begin only 126 miles east of Kiska, main Japanese base. In at-

Pointing out that this year “we must stretch a handclasp of hope and courage across the seas” as well as care for local welfare, the president told the nation its gifts might “give new heart to courageous famflies bombed out of their homes in many places.” “It may add to the precious store of medicines in a distant hospital or speed a shipload of food to a little nation, whose people are dropping in the streets from starvation.

Russ Ridicule ‘Colonel Blimps'

MOSCOW, Oct. 68 (U. P.)—The newspaper Pravda today published the first Russian cartoon on the second-front subject. It was drawn in the style of the popular British cartoonist, David " Low, by Boris Efimov. Titled “Conference of War Experts,” the drawing depicted two youthful officers named “Generals Decigiveness and Courage” leaning over a table and scornfully pointing to a map for the benefit of seven “Colonel Blimps,” the fae . vorite Low character. The colonels were asking: “Suppose they lick us?” “Shall we risk it?” “One mustn't ‘hurry, must one?” “Walt—suppose there’s misfortune?” . The hands of a clock on the wall pointed to 11:30, suggesting

that the zero hour was near.
