magazine, and was transferred to
"Time" as a special writer on
national affairs and finance. His
work with Dr. George Gallup be
gan in 1935.

have been far ahead of tradition
minded politicians.

THE COLT YGIAN
War News
Analyzed
BURKE M. HERMANN
Professor of America History
In reading the news from the
European battlefronts it must con
stantly be kept in mind that the
actions in the various theaters are
merely parts of an overall plan
whiCh is the destruction of the
German armies, or, at least, of the
Nazi military leaders' will to con
tinue the war. A glance at a gen
eral operations map reveals clearly
what is happening. Rapidly in
some quarters and less so in others
the ring of steel which the Allies
have-drawn around Hitler's Europe
is being constricted with each
passing week. How long the Nazis
can resist this pressure from the
ground, to say nothing of the con
tinued heavy bombing from the
air, is anyone's guess.
On the eastern front the Red
military tide rolls on and is now
lapping at the border of East
Prussia, the chief 'breeding ground
of German militarism. German
broadcasts make little or no pre
tense at disguising the fear of what
this will mean for Germany and
its people. This amazingly swift
advance of the Russian forces
would seem to indicate that "lines"
of defense no longer mean what
they once did;., and, that British
and American bombings of Ger
man industry are definitely pay
ing dividends.
In Italy, while progress has been
slower, the Allied forces are grind
ing their way northward to assault
the Gothic line. Meanwhile, con-,
tinned aerial bombings , have
wreaked havoc on railroads and
bridges which have been used
.by
the Nazis to bring reinforcements
into northern Italy.
Allies Beat Off Nazis
In Normandy the British, Cana
dians, and Americans have been
stubbornly beating off German
counter - attacks and crunching
their way forward in gains limited
to one and two miles, while in
some instances advances were
measured in yards. However, the
recent occupation of St. Lo by the
Americans, together with a power
ful thrust by the British south and
southeast of Caen, seem to indicate
an Allied break-through into coun
try where mobile equipment can
effectively be brought into play for
the first time.
In the Pacific area the picture IS
not so satisfying: true, we have
again bombed Japan; true, we
have completed the conquest of
Saipan; true, we are engaged in
softening up Guam for an invasion
of that strategic spot, and appar
ently the Japanese threat to India
has ceased. All this is highly grati. ,
fying but there is one dark spot—
China.
Here the war has taken a turn
again for the worse. The much
heralded breaking of the siege of
Hengyang seems to have failed as
the Japanese are again pounding
away here and are in control of
the vital railroad line, except for
some forty or fifty miles.
Politics Get Attention
•In the field of international poli
tics several matters attract atten
tion. The first of these is the
mounting evidence of decided pro-
Fascist leanings on the part of the
Vargas regime in Brazil,
The second is the visit of
Madame Chiang Kai-shek to an
island off the • Brazilian coast. Here
she will spend some time in an
effort to improve her health which
has not been good; however, there
are those who believe that from
Brazil she will proceed to England
to discover what is the British at
titude toward an all-out prosecu
tion of the war against Japan when
Hitler has been'defeated.
The third item to which our at
tention is called is a fresh crop of
not too subtle Nazi peace-feelers.
. Conference in Rome
The fourth, and to many, the
most significant development of
the week, was the conference held
in Rome between Palmiro Pngli
atti, the Italian . Communist leader,

On the domestic political front
the fate of Mr. Henry Wallace
seems to be most in the news. On
this point we may as well sit, back
and await the decision as and when
it is reached by the Democratic
Party in its convention which
opened in Chicago. However, one
thing is certain,, and rtho is that
never in American political history
has there , been so much 'ado con
cerning a 'vice-presidential nomi
