War Situation Last Night

(By KIRK! L. SIMPSON, Associated We: Analyst)

Definite German eotbecks in Russia and Libya form g new badlr- drop for both the Washington-Tokyo end Berlin-Vichy exchanges and are ept so effect the coune of those ccmersatlons. '

On the llostov front in Russia, Hitler's force; have met their worst defeat o! the whole war, eccordlng to Berlin's urlmllelon. In Llbyu Axis snniee are cuught in e huge trap and threatened with ulthmts extiue- tiou because of Beritisb penetration to the Mediterranean coastline south sud west of Beunsi.

Even on the Moscow front, prrrtente of Nazi disaster dampen Hit- l0l'l hopes of early capture u- compiete investment of the city. And it I08! Without laying that Jlpeneus policy mukerl and old Marshal Pe- talu in Vichy are fully ewurs of all this in making up their minds just hovv far to [o in siding Hitler's cause.

fntimetlone from Tokyo that e. soft-peddling, welt-and-see policy hue been adopted by the cabinet council probably reflect rising doubt there that Hitler's Russian crusade is living up to oxpeetutions. In Europe, the fact that Goering and Petuin have hurl u "long conversa- tion" indicates that the Germans and Italian; ere not very confident of repelling the British attack in Libya melded.

It is hurdly open to doubt that the Russian counter offensive in the lwstov urea end the British drive in Libya. were synchronized oper- utious, the first fruits of which have tremendously altered the wur picture. With Red recapture of Roetov the threat to the Caucasus und its precious oil fields is so sbuted that the winter probably will he well advanced before the Gennsne can renew it effectively either slung the Dun front or from the Crimea.

In eny event, the danger to the Don River front protecting the Caucasus has been greatly lessened. That is of vital importance to the British forces in Egypt. and Libya. It means that British reserves in men. tanks, plunee and the like up to now held out of the Libyan battle to uweit developments on the C uslun front can be released to pres the unnihilutlon attack in Libya. ‘

TTERING HARD AT

PEZAIM, GOERING MEET 11v OCCUPIED 5R4

U. S. - Japanese Talks continue; Outlook gloomy

Washington sees little prospect of peace- ful settlement of Pacific difficulty.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I—(CP)- Negotiations between the United States and Japnn looking toward settlement of differences in the Far East were continued today whi‘e military preparations were rushed throughout the Pacific from Australia to Hong Kong and Burma. and Thailand to the Philip- pine Islands.

The ruvity of the situation was emphasized anew when it was dis- closed that President Roosevelt had held a. long conference with Admiral Harold R. Stark, chief of naval operations, and State Secre- tary Cordell Hull The conference took place about noon, soon utter

the President returned from his abbreviated vacation at Warm Springs, 6a., but the fact, that

Stark attended it did not become known until lute in the day.

The urgent White House confer- ence followed a. new tulk between Hull and the Japanese envoys during the forenoon, at. the end of which Ambassador‘ Kicliisaburo Nomura. told newspaper-men:-

“I believe there must be wise gltatesmsnshtp to save the situa-

on."

For ‘l0 minutes, Hull was close- ted with Saburo Kurusu, Japan's special envoy, and Admiral No- mura. He later went across to the White House for the conference with Mr. Roosevelt who had cut short his vacation in Warm Springs and returned to Washington early todav.

Lelqhton McCarthy. Canadian hfinisler to the United States, re- turned from Warm Springs with the President and it was learned they talked over the For East Situation at the southern health resort,

Although continuation or nego- tiations wes regarded, in itself, as a. good sign, there still was little hope crater-pained here that a For East settlement could be reached.

When the two Jn-punese envoys arrived at the State Department, they were e11 smiles and nffnbllity. But when they emerged from the sec:etary's office, they looked glum and when Kurusu was ask- ed if he would see Hull again he repiied “if instructed by my gov- ernment, yes." -

“This should not be considered as the end." he added, "I em al- ways hopeful."

In the face of inflammatory and provocative speeches and edi- torials in Japan, hopes for s far eastern settlement, which have never been very high, grew even dimmer.

Kurusu, questioned regarding the belligerent pronouncement by Premier Toio that Japan stands determined "with a vengeance" to

urge British and American in- luences from East. Asin, sflid T010 had been "badly m/guutcd."

U. ST-lldilroad. Dispute settled?

He made the announcement mf- ter the board, acting as a media- tion egency, had‘ met with repre- sentatives of railroad labor and munegeme H4 almost czntlnuousiy for two days and two nights.
