Lord Milne's Views

London Jan. 14, In the next three months Hitler will throw the entire weight of the German Army on the Western front in an endeavour to break through the allied lines, Lord Milne declared in the "Sunday Chronicle" today, A mass offensive is the only way for the Fuehrer to overcome his difficulties, Lord Milne added. If he waits too long, he will lose his chance.

Lord Milne does not believe that Hitler will refrain from attacking the neutral states if it is in his interest to do so. Nothing can save the Fuehrer and his regime except a military victory and it must therefore be expected that Hitler will try to achieve one, the writer said. It must also be expected, Lord Milne concluded, that Germany should fight according to the time-honoured German tactics of concentrating a maximum force at a decisive point of the enemy front—Havas.
