Delirious Conflict

The St, Louis "Globe Democrat" declares: "Hitlers war on the new front ushers in a new phase of the delirious cónfüct, It may well be regarded as his admission that Great Britain cannot be conquered now. It presages a protracted war and by that token both England and the United States may be encouraged. Time is the most potent ally both possess,"

The "Los Angeles Times" states: "No one can possibly foresee the long-range results of this seismic shift in the general aspect of the war. It is to Great Britain's advantage and ours, mainly in that it will afford us more time—perhaps enough time—for our aid to England to attain its maximum and for our own preparations. It minimizes the probability of an early renewal of the attempt to invade England, heretofore regarded as imminent. By diverting much of the German air force to the eastern front, it will make easier the task of the Royal Air Force,"
