Meeting Designed to Bolster Home Front Morale, Hurt by Bombings. .

By NAT A. BARROWS

and The Chicage Daily New, Ine. LONDON, Qet. 22.—~The series of i conferences now being held by German leaders should not occasion ex- | aggerated optimism at this stage, | according to sober London opinion. These conferences admittedly are symptomatic of a - situation which might produce a sudden crack but it is asserted that there is no sign of Germany cracking yet even though half of its chief cities have been heavily bombed and 17 so

don believes, is governed by one outstapding and thus far incontrovertible fact; in general terms, the morale of the German army continues high and has not yet begun to decline in any way under continuous and severe Soviet blows on the east front and steady pressure of Anglo-American forces in southern Europe. But—and this is the important factor in understanding these con-

morale is at the lowest ebb. Hence, the series of conferences. These confabs between Hitler «nd

Judicial officials have resulted from

Germany Rumor-Ridden Germany -i8 rumor-ridden -and becoming more dangerous. Thus, the judiciary and the prosecutors have been given a

pep talk on their share in main-

taining national unity. As for the conference which Chief of Staff Field Marshal Gen, Wilhelm Keitel held between service chiefs and party leaders, it is known here that this was an attempt to show the world at large that there i= unity between the army and the Nazi party and that there has been no split, as rumors have been insisting. Keitel was ordered to call the conference because he is the Nazi _ stooge, a vain man who likes to dis-

play his authority and above all to]

please Hitler. Kéltel has proved himself adept at playing off the army against the party and vice versa and then pinning on both joint responsibility for continuing the war, There is no doubt that as the war goes into its fifth year, Keitel's job is becoming less easy. Made a Big Show

Therefore it was necessary to].

make a big show of the army-party conference to hide indications of differences, and also to counteract the effect of Russian successes. The Germans have cleverly kept home-front opinion abreast of all reverses and informed of all difficulties which lie ahead as insurance against any untoward development. . Though the Russians are making remarkable headway, informed ‘opinion here is skeptical that they will be able to go all the way this winter and knock out the Germans, who are believed to be making progress in their plans for shortening a strong defense line somewhere behind the Pripet marshes.
