Lulled by Victories Goering’s talk, the German army’s alibi for the disaster in ' Russia,

ved to be the gloomiest ever]

e by a top Germdn official.

Goering explained that while the|

Germans had been lulled by early ries into a belief that this ‘would be a short, successful war, the Russians had “built up during the last 15 years the most tremengous armed might ever built.” Some of the blame, Goering said could be placed on the Russian winter. He admitted, however, that the weather was not as severe in Russia this year as it was last ter. : Goering pictured Germany as the protector of Europe against what he alled the Bolshevist menace. Rushe said, was trying to encircle efmany and that was the reason hat Hitler attacked.: = © | “It was a gloriong decision,” Goering said, referrifig fo he attack on Russia; “to stand ‘up’ against this wave of -blood which: would have 3 oyed not only Germany but the tire west.”

Admits Fight Desperate

Now the fight has become deste, Goering said, and every n, woman and child in Germany be prepared to die, if necesto continue the war. He comd the German soldiers trapped Stalingrad with Leonidas’ brave

im and again here in the Ruhr/| ‘ without reciprocating?’ Remember that we have a tremendous battlefield in the North and the South.” Low Tide for Reich

German fortunes in the war seemed to have reached low tide as Goering spoke. On the Russian battle front the Red army was advancing agdinst three key German defense positions —Kursk, Kharkov and Rostov. West of Voronezh, the Russia noon communique reported, 12,000 axis troops were killed and 25,000 captured. Seven axis divisions were routed. The R. A. F. delivered another smashing attack : at the German submarine base of Lorient in France. : A Middle Eastern command communique reported that units of the British eighth army had crossed from Tripolitania into Tunisia. That meant that the eighth army and the allied forces in Tunisia’ now were only about 150 miles apart and the Afrika Korps was trapped be tween them. *

Aviods Peace Feelers

Bearing out the German insistence that Hitler would not make today the occasion for peace feelers, Goering said peace with Russia without victory was impossible—because Germany could deal only with “gentlemen—not with bolsheviks.” He did not say it could not deal with its other enemies, Great Britain and the United States.

Goering called on every German of whatever age, of either sex, to|look to Adolf Hitler—“the Godsent”’—and to obey Hitler's orders to the last extremity.

He said Hitler alone could organize the fight and lead it, that Hitler alone was fit to make decisions.

' Warning to Neutrals

He explained tremendous Russian victories by painting Russia as a power which, unlike Nazi Germany, forced its people to give all. Germans, he said, would do the same voluntarily—for Hitleg, Goering said Germany stood alone to save the world from Bolshevism. He warned Sweden, Switzerland and other neutrals—and, implicitly, the allies, that Russia was a menace tc the world. Goering explained Hitler's deliberate sacrifice of 220,000 men of the German sixth army at Stalingrad by saying ‘they had to stay|. there to permit the German line to be “reorganized,” that they had died for the world as well as for Germany—and that other Germans must follow their example. He said, as Hitler had done so often after the resurrection of successively “destroyed” Russian armies, that this would be the last hard winter, that Russia had thrown in the last of its reserves and that when they were gone she would be through,

In Full Accord, Vargas Says By J. ALAN COOGAN United Press Staff Correspendent RIO DE .JANEIRO, Jan. 30 (U. P.). — President Getulio Vargas’ comments upon his Natal conference with President Roosevelt left the impression today that they had concluded plans which will pro- | foundly affect the whole future course of the war. : Vargas obliquely, said so last night, when he told correspondents: “It. cannot be guaranteed that = the Natal conference there will be no: developments of great effect upon the course of the war.” .. . He said he and Mr. Roosevelt had

Mr. Roosevelt and Vargas conferred Thursday aboard an American = destroyer anchored in the mouth of the Potengy river, at Natal. Vargas flew 1400 miles to meet Mr. Roosevelt, although his son, Getulio Jr. was seriously ill. An umbrella of planes swarmed over the destroyer as long as they were aboard her. Fast, deadly antisubmarine boats crossed and crisscrossed the river above and below. Talked Several Hours Having conferred some ‘hours, Mr. Roosevelt and Vargas went on deck. Five barefooted. boys, fishing on the opposite bank, immediately recognized them: Throwing their fishing poles into the water, they dashed through the streets of Natal, shouting, “Getulio and Franklin are here! Getulio and Franklin are here.” In the middle of the afternoon they passed slowly through Natal in 1an automobile, and thousands lining. the sidewalks madly cheered them.

The harbor of Sfax had already

Presumably the axis was still able to use the ports of Bizerte, Tunis, Sousse and Gabes to some extent, although Bizerte and Tuhis had been damaged so heavily in earlier raids that the Germans and Italians had been compelled to shift much traffic from them to the other ports. Reports, both allied and axis, had agreed that the day of the offensive to push the Germans and Italians from the African continent was near. :
