Senators See Nazi Collapse
'Any Time- War's End in '45-
Cumulative Effect of Defeats on All Fronts
Plus Bombing of Cities Expected to
Hasten German Defeat.
By BAUKIIAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.
WNU Service Union Trust Building
Washington D. C.
"It is my guess that the war will
end by 1945" the senator said. "The
collapse of Germany may come any
time."
Pencils slid over copy paper.
Mine too. We sat around the long
green committee-room table in the
Senate Office building Other press
and radio men (and women) and a
few visitors listened to the three
senators who had made a 40000-
mile trip beginning in Maine up
through Nova Scotia through Green-
land Iceland Great Britain Africa
the Near East India China Aus-
tralia the Pacific islands and back
home.
I thought as I took down the notes
for my broadcast that I wished
many of the people who write to
me calling congress dumb were
there to listen to these men regaling
us with first-hand information facts
figures impressions which later
they were to pass on to their col-
leagues in the form of long and de-
tailed reports. Much of the material
will never be printed.
The trip was spoofed by the pa-
pers when it was proposed as "an-
other junket." But sitting there lis-
tening to these men there was no
doubt in my mind that they had done
a real job. They had slept in gaudy
villas in Africa they had camped in
the fields with the troops lain un-
der thatched roofs in bamboo shel
ters taken their chances across wide
sweeps of water in planes unaccom-
panied by any fighter protection.
They had tried to find out the things
you and I want to know how the
war is being fought.
Reasons Why
You have already read the gist of
what those senators and Senator
Lodge who made the journey plus
a side trip said. The information
will come out in reports and
speeches before the senate and the
house.
It was a long session but the
thing that struck me was the second
sentence which I quoted at the be-
ginning of this article.
"The collapse of Germany may
come at any time."
These men didn't pretend to be
military experts or prophets. That
statement of one of them Senator
Russell of Georgia to which the
others Senators Mead of New York
and Brewster of Maine agreed was
based on what they had heard and
seen including photographs of what
Russell called "leveled Hamburg"
... by the time this is in print
there may be other German cities
leveled as flat.
Another thine was the testimony of
a French official who believed Ger-
many would crumble soon. He was
anxious that America be prepared
to step in and take control. Unless
we did he insisted chaos would
spread perhaps anarchy.
I have heard that fear expressed
by other Europeans.
Basis of Belief
What is the basis of the belief
that Germany will collapse suddenly
and perhaps soon? On the belief
that history will in some measure
repeat itself as it always does. That
the civilian morale will crumble in
Germany that the spirit of hopeless-
ness will spread to the army as it
did in 1018.
Already we know that submarine
crews no longer volunteer. They
have to be drafted. This is where
the rift began in Germany's morale
in the last war.
And what will contribute most to
Germany's collapse?
Not the Russian victories alone;
not the drive that will come when
as many believe the British-American
operations are intensified.
These will turn the scale. But the
cumulative effect of defeats on all
fronts plus the bombing of her
cities already at work will bring
"victory through air power."
The Germans a very high British
official said to us not long ago ore
a logical people. When the realiza-
tion of the hopelessness of further
fighting is established they will be-
gin the logical process of surrender.
And if you read the report of Chief
of Staff General Marshall you will
see how the realization of the
growth of Allied air power spreads
slowly over the whole battle scene.
BRIEFS
The purchaser of a $1000 bond
pays for the whole cost of Amer-
ica's global war for four-tenths of a
second.
To maintain its record of meeting
every invasion need the Merchant
Marine must recruit from shore jobs
a minimum of 35000 experienced
officers and men during the next
vear.
"The army air forces" says the
general; "are now attacking the en-
emy on ten different fronts through-
out the world. Their victories
wherever they come in contact with
the enemy testify to the gallantry
and skill of American pilots and
crews to the mechanical efficiency
of the planes and to the leadership
of General Arnold and . . . (the
other commanders)."
History of the War
Go through General Marshall's
dramatic history of the war to date
and you will sec again and again
how the Allied air might has gradu-
ally risen from the days in the
"first phase" when as the general
says "on all fighting fronts we were
in a desperate ' situation due to
lack of material" into the "later
phase" when in the southwest Pa-
cific "air superiority was demon
strated by a loss ratio of four to
one in our favor" until today when
"the combined American - British
bomber offensive against the conti-
nent of Europe gives promise of be-
ing a decisive factor in the ultimate
destruction of the German citadel."
Now that the Allies are in posses-
sion of the Foggia air bases in Italy
we can reach what the President de-
scribed as the area of Germany
hitherto "invulnerable." We are
nearer the southern German cities
now than the air force in the British
Isles is to many of the cities against
which it has hurled its most devas-
tating blows and those cities of
southern Germany and Austria
hitherto "safe" are now as "vulner-
able" as the cities of the Rhine and
Ruhr as Hamburg and Cologne.
The war is not over. The fighting
potential of the German army in
number of men equipment general-
ship supplies and morale is as high
as ever. But as I sat in the Senate
Office building and heard the pre-
diction "the collapse of Germany
may come at any time" my mind
went back to the anxious faces the
nervous inquiries that-came to me
the day that Britain and France de-
clared war and I waited to leave
Berlin where I had been broadcast-
ing to America.
The greatest fear of the average
German then was the fear of Amer-
ican participation in the war. We
couldn't the stupid leaders believed
"get there in time if we wanted to."
They didn't guess we would come
via the skyways. Now they know.
(Note: To anyone wishing a com-
plete copy of the "record which
Americans will never forget" which
is what the President called "Gen-
eral Marshall's fine soldierly rec-
ord of achievements of our army
throughout two of the most tremen-
dous years of our history" I shall
be glad to send a copy. Simply send
me your name and address. No
charge. Sec address at head of col-
umn.) We Need Scrap
The words "all out" and ''drive"
have just about lost their meanirfg.
.And yet somehow somewhere
iron and steel scrap has to be col-
lected. There is plenty of it in the
country. For the government to col-
lect it it would take an army. There
is only one way it can be gotten.
That is through individual effort. It
involves no cost. It simply requires
a little effort and some time.
The mills now have only enough
scrap to last two and a half months.
The shooting has just started un
countable tons of metal are going
to be dropped on the enemy in the
months ahead. If you wait for some-
one else hi your community to come
and get your scrap the army and
the navy won't get the steel they
need. Your initiative is essential.
Civilian Awards
The war department has borrowed
an innovation of private industry as
well as one of the pioneers in develop-
ing this idea. Ezra S. Taylor of the
Pullman Company Chicago 111. will
operate it.
Mr. Taylor has been appointed ex-
pert consultant to the secretary of
war and is chairman of the depart
ment's new board on civilian
awards. The board has been set up
to increase material economies and
generally improve efficiency by uti-
lizing the ideas of the 1300000 em-
ployees of the department.

Another use for the all-purpose
American army jeep has been
discovered. Converted from road to
rail by changing to steel-flanged
wheels the jeep is being used in
Australia as a switch engine in shut-
tling cars around railroad vards.
