By THOMAS F. RAWKINS
BERN. Switzerland, Oct. 5—
- Ten points emphasized by Reichs-
marshal Goering in yesterday's long
and labored pep-talk to the Ger-
man people were interpreted by
Allied observers today as support
for the thesis that a second front
would go far toward ending the
war in Europe by next summer.
The harvest festival address by
the No. 2 Nazi, on the other hand
contained Germany’s formula for
defense In the coming months and
in that respect could be taken as
ample warning that Allied action
must be well under way before the
formula is completely operative.
Conservative military observers,
who can not be identified by
name, believe that should Germany
be able to effect a portion of her
organization program the war
might be lengthened by years

terpretation of the Goering speech
