Beware Adolf With An Olive Branch
(Philadelphia Record)
Hitler is now laying the groundwork for a peace
offensive, H. R. Knickerbocker warns in a special dis
patch to The Record.
Already Hitler has attempted to open peace nego
tiations with the Polish Gvernment-in-exile. The first
attempt was rebuffed, but anther envoy has been sent
to Polish representatives in Lisbon.
From Hitler’s point of view, it would be logical
to make peace first with Poland — his first victim of
treacherous attack and the occasion for the entry of
Britain and France into the war.
We must prepare to meet Hitler’s coming peace
offensive by reminding ourselves of the kind of world
we would live in if we made peace on Hitler’s terms.
You can’t do business with Hitler, and that includes
the business of negotiating peace.
Startling confirmation of Knickerbocker’s cable
comes from Hitler’s own words in his recent speech.
In his address inaugurating the annual Winter Re
lief campaign. Hitler declared he was willing to go on
the defensive and wait attack from the United Nations.
He said: “We must let the others attack as much
as they wish wherever we have no intention to advance.
We must hold everything and must wait to see who
tires soonest. . . . While we are on the defensive in
Northern Europe, as well as in the west, we gain there
by all neces- try conditions for the necessary organiza
tion of Europe with regard to this war.”
The danger in Hitler’s words is that they are true
up to a certain point.
He would, once his goal in Russia is achieved,
be willing to take the defensive, to carry out “the nec
essary organization of Europe with regard to this war.”
He would be willing to accept a negotiated peace,
on h:s terms—to organize his conquests until he was
strong enough to extend his conquests of Europe to
the conquest of the whole world.
Hitler realizes he has no chance of conquering
Br :tam, Russia and the United States in the immediate
future. He wants time to train his slave labor and de
velop the resources of the conquered countries — as
Japan needs time to develop the Dutch East Indies and
Malaya.
But the peace that Hitler can offer would be no
peace, hardly an armistice. As soon as he thought he
was strong enough, he would renew the attack for the
conquest now barred by the United States, Britain and
Russia.
If we gave Hitler—say five years of peace at a new
Munich—who can say how strong he would be with
the food of the Ukraine and the oil of the Northern Cau
casu'? We musn’t be fooled again.
Hitler’s allies, the Japanese, as Knickerbocker
poin.s out, must be interested to learn that he is will
in: to desert them whenever it is convenient.
F ct of the matter is that Germany and Japan are
tw Ligand nations out to loot the world; they will
v. ■■rk together only as long as their courses happen to
tjimiue and are profitable.
1 ' United Nations must demonstrate they have
g: :., unity of purpose than this aggregation of gang
sL. b . immediately establishing a unified command
of all the United Nations.
The combined Chiefs of Staffs now operating, with
Ad ilrai Leahy as ranking American officer, includes
onr> Britain and the United States — not Russia or
China or the other Allies.
A command really unified would not only be an
answer to Hitler’s peace offensive. It would be the
key that could win the global war quicker and with
less cost in lives.
Doing The Impossible
a was a “surprisa” when the Japs fought their
way through the gap in the Owen Stanley mountains
of New Guinea. It was a “surpise” because the experts
had said it couldn’t be done.
We all remember a few months back when most
everyone believed the Japs couldn’t take the Dutch
P ' Wes, or the Philippines or Singapore or Hong
king. Eut thy took all those places. They did the im
possible.
Ti e thing we still have to learn is that nothing is
impossible. Nothing in this war for the force that
fights hard with good weapons and with intelligent
leadership. It isn’t impossible for the Japs to take
Alaska, for example. But by the same token it isn’t
impossible for us to hold Alaska, nor is it impossible
for us to take all of Japan in a gigantic, cleverly plan
ned offensive. When we get over the last signs of our
complacency, then the day will come when the Japs
v.;31 be seeing us doing the impossible.

Hess Punishment
MOSCOW — T^e nows paper
Pravda, >n an editorial, demands j
j the immediate trial of Rudolf j
I Hess. German leader held in Engl
: land, and soid, “It must be final- !
!v established now whether Hess i
1 is a criminal subject to trial or j
punishment, or is a plenpoten
| tiary representative in England I
I of the Hitler government and I
| enjoys inviolability.”
The editorial reviewed the Oc '
tober 15 statement of the Soviet
government calling for immed- !
iate trial and punishment of any
German ringleader “who, in the
course of the war, falls into the
hands of the states fighting ag
ainst Hitlerite Germany.”
Hess parachuted mysteriously
into England some time ago, ap- i
parently a deserter from the Hit- >
ler cause. He is being held in 1
custody.
Soviet Statement
The official Soviet statement
on October 15 was a blunt declar
ation for immediate trial and
punishment “with all the sever
ity of criminal law” of any Ger
man ringleader already imprison i
■ ed by the Allies, and specifically
| named Rudolf Hess, a captive in
1 Britain, as one of the “organiz
j ers of German atrocities” who
j should pay now for his misdeeds.
) The announcement was made
j in the form of a communique
j widely circulated . by the Tass
A.gency, containing the reply of
Soviet Foreign Commissar Molo
tov to a ten-month-old communi
cation from a number of Europ
ean governments in exile.
Brnish official circles were
startled by this entirely ne,r con
jception of 'ltcrnatkmal rctribu
tion. In London there were ex- '
pressions of fear that action
along the lire suggested by Rus- '
sia would bring whr].-.<•;.■ -etal
iation again11 Allied nationals
now in German hands. Already
the Germans have ini: i; ted the
mass shackling cf prisoners of j
war.
A Foreign Office attache, while
saying that "Hess, o f course,” is ;
considered vulnerable tc Allied i
,plans for indictment of war crirn '■
iralo remarked pointedly that'
the former deputy fuehrer made j
his parachute d scent in Scot- i
land on May If), 1941. more than '
a month before Germany attack
ed Russia.
