Af first glance flic question "Are we winning the war?" may seem downriglt silly. Btît a cain- appraisal o! ah o!f thc facts of fhîu greaf worlcl ~struggleimnd i- ~cates quite an- other conclusion.

To answer flic question as f0 luow we stand in flic war score, wc firsf have f0 ask ourselves for wluaf wc arc figlfing. If flic an- swer is mereiy "f0 beat Hitler," wc are aiready well on flic road t0 victory. For, Germany's obvious purpose now l5 f0 gain a nego- tiated peacc-a brcafhing spel- and sudh an end f0 World War Il would le a safisfactory answer f0 thc shorfsigltcd people in our part o!fluhe world wbo are content rncrely f0 repel flic mosf immed- iafe and imminent fîreat. But if our answer is that we are ighting for worid conditions ini wluich anoflier war in twcnfy or twcnty-five years will le impos- sible, flic prospect is nof briglif. Endecd, if is gloomier day by day. NOT HITLER'S WAR People who like f0 over-simp- lify fhings cail this "Hitier's War". O! course, Hitler was fhe firebug wuho set flic match f0 flic explosive material. But flic explosive ma- ceriai was ahl there long before HIitler, in flic way o! international anardhy, power polifics, armament races and, above ah, economie varfare. Eadh great European war lias bcen a miiestone in human history for two reasons. Firsf, for ifs neg- itive effcf. Thaf is, in wliat if :rcvented in flic defeaf o! some uid for worid mastery, like flic Spanish kings or Napoleon. But lie second effeet was flic more important, in flic long run. For thc settiement nade a afcdlipeace confercnce, slapcd flic direction of flic nexf period in bisfory. In fhis sense, wc arc bofli win- ning and losing this war. We arc ivinning flue war in flic sense that it is now impossible for flic Axis powcrs acfually f0 conquer and enslavc us. But we arc nof win- ring flic war in flic sense that we are building those international fricndships whidh alone can le- comc flic cornerstoncs o! stable and. genuine world peace. TWO NECESSITIES Two things must liappen before tîcre can le any hope for laying the foundafions f0 stable world peace. Thc firsf is flic complete defcaf and uncondifional surrcnd- er of Germany, Italy and Japaýn. The second is a peace sefflement whidh unites on some genuine basis flic present Ailied powers us flic corncrsfones of a genuine wvorld peace-keeping organization. We liave a long way f0 go even to achieve flic first objective. And tlue second objective now appears :0 le even more difficuif of affain- ment. Even Germany is far fron leat- en yet. If is truc fIat on every world front our measure of air ;upremacy grows greater day by day. If is truc in spife of flic ;udden German comeback in Rus- sia, flic situation in flic Soviet is sudl as f0 end ail fear that Ger- nany can ever knock Russia ouf o! lhis war; indeed, if seens* clear thaf Russia wiill e able in ber own power f0 expel ail invading armies from Soviet soul before many nonfîs have passed. But flic facf is fIat even the total expulsion o! Gernan armies rom Russia would oniy le flic end of Gernany's acute fîreat f0 us. The deadly task of beafing te German armies f0 fleir knees vould stili remain. There is no ertain evidence f0 suggest fIat Gerrnêny can ever le beafen wif 1- oXt enormous expenditure not o iy o! war materials, but fIe mst costly o! ail coin-human ife and 1imb.
