London Observers Give Sober Viewpoint On War

Say Overemphzisls Being Placed By Some On Imminence And Extent Of Next Allied Offensive.

By E. C. DANIEL y Associated Press Staff Writer

LONDON. May 16 —(AP\-Sobcr observers in London arc perturbed by the recent outburst of war opt- inlisnl in the United States and what they believe to be overcm- phasls on the imminence. swrmgth or extent of the next allied illfenq slim,

Unless this optimism is tempered by realitv they fear a sham let- cown in public morale, like the frgt iulnoss that. developed with the prntraclion of the North African campaign.

To put thc picture into focus. vnrloils qualified sources who can- not b0 qllntcd directly offer the fol- lowing adjustments of viewpoiut:—

1. Dcspiic the thunderclnp victory in Tunisia. German military mor- ale has not been shattered. Von Al-nlmla force; surrendered because they were silrroilnccd on the ground and overhead. They foresaw disaster in continued irsistnucc- but only local disaster.

The best information in Lam- don discredits the notion that (he Washington confolencc between Mr. Churchill and President Roosevelt is dealing primarily with immed- iate invasion schemes.
