pose of this week's meeting, the * second th 12 days, of all Naz party " OA leaders, army commanders and high German of - ficials, not to mention the heads of the Reich's medical and supply serv. joes, at Hitler's gecret headquar-

These observ_n ers, who have Mr. Ghall' carefully followed all symptoms of the rapidly developing morale crisis in Germany, are convinced the meeting was initiated by military leaders who took the opportunity to express the opinion that the time is ripe for a new and possibly a final attempt to break ‘up the united nations coalition. Such an attempt, it is . thought here, is doomed to failure. The argument of these German leaders is that the Moscow confer- { snes furnishes an unhoped for opportunity to offer new peace terms and plans for complete Russo-Ger-man collaboration on even mors extensive lines than any previously

New German proposals will be forwarded, it i= believed here, by Germany's ambassador to Ankara, __ Baron Franz von Papen, at an . opportune moment in the course of the Moscow conference, . Two reasons have prompted the German generals to use what they believe to be a good oppertunity for peace proposals,

First Is Eastern Front

The first Is Germany's catastrophic military situation on the eastern front following the Russian offensive on Kremenchug and the Dniepropetrovsk region. which is compelling the Nazis to evacuate the entire Dnieper bend and abandon not gnly the Crimea but the whole Ukraine and to fall back on . the Bug-Dvina line. The secohd reason is the ex- : tremely low state of Germas morale and the overgrowing sympathy with communism of the population. This is sald to be spreading like wildfire as a sequel to Anglo-8axon bombardments which have rendered hundreds of thousands of Germans homeless, The Germai generals. therefore, think that an attempted rapprochement with Mojeow would now be welcomed'by {he masses Nazi leaders are no Jjonger trying to conceal the low fate of morale in the Third Reich. The German "radio and press are daily pointing out the folly of drawing parallels " between Nov, 1043, and Nov. 1918, »- Flear admission that such com- « 14 DRTISONS are being openly made. Ungoubtedly the time has come when ithe German generals think that no chance of getting out of the present impasse should he neglected This oportunity may be afforded. they think, by the Moscow con“ference.
