Nazis Going Dn Defensive ?

LONDON, Oct. 1-(AP)— British authorities today

interpreted Hitlefs speech yesterday as meaning the German armies are going on the defensive to meet the threat of an Allied second front and their general view was substantiated somewhat tonight by Nazi Propaganda Minister VGoebbePs explana- tory remark that the Rus- sian campaign is costing “a heavy toll oi’ blood.”

The non-bellicose tone of Hitler's speech in Berlin yesterday impressed all ob- observers who have watched Hitler and the German army tactics. Virtually the only threat was to bomb Britain, a reaction which apparently meant the R. A. F.’s sting was being felt deeply in the Reich.

Competent observers ex- pressed the belief that Hit- ler is withdrawing troops from relatively inactive Russian sectors to strength-

en garrlsons in the west- in.

Italy and Egypt. They said, however, that the speech im- plied a massive drive to subjugate Stalingrad and the Grozny oilfields before the fast-approaching Rus- sian winter descends.

Goebbels wrote in Das Reich this warning to the few remaining European neutrals:-

“Whoever wants to have a share in the advantages of the new Europe must shoulder also a part of the sacrifices and burdens.”

His threat was directed

21. at such states as Sweden,

Turkey, Spain, Portugal, Eire and Switzerland-and possibly at Bulgaria, which has not yet declared war on Russia.

“If today people in neu- tral capitals are eating more meat and fat- than in Berlin or Rome, it does not prove that this will con- tinue to be so in l0 years,” Goebbels wrote.

Dense Jungle After Japs
