HARD WINTER FOR HITLER.
Wherever Hitler hibernates, it isn’t going to be pleasant, writes Anne O’Hare McCormick in the “New York Times.” He has never felt the icy breath of Russia or the heat of the African desert. He has never known how very mean the temperature of Europe can be when almost the entire population is not only hungry, but halffrozen. That has not happened yet, but it will happen this winter. Last year and the year before were hard: this year will establish an all-time low for the food and fuel rations in every Continental country. Wherever Hitler marches he brings famine and cold. Now the blight extends from the Bay of Biscay to the Sea of Azov. Millions of human beings face a terrible winter. For this reason, because there are limits to endurance and limits to German capacity to sit tight on this mammoth. lid, it will be the worst winter of the war. And because the coming months will be the first test of American power to change the balance, it will probably be also the decisive winter. *'
