CHURCHILL CAUTIOUS . . . Cautious but exceedingly cheerful, Prime Minister Churchill gave another of his always meaty and factual reports on the war in speaking to Parliament in London yesterday. We notice that Mr. Churchill is no longer expressing certainty about victory. The certainty is now understood by all without necessity of any reiteration or reassurance. It is just a question of how many months before Germany finally gives up in unconditional surrender. Mr. Churchill very carefully suggests that the organized resistance in the European war may last until next year and, even after the organized resistance is over, there may still be some guerrilla Nazis whose only object in prolonging the struggle would be to stave off their ultimate doom. In a statement a few weeks ago Mr. Churchill said the war "might" end this year. He did not say it "would." Now he warns that the war against Adolf Hitler "might" extend into 1915. He does not say it "will." Mr. Churchill is as usual realistic and says it will be better .to concentrate on winning the war before trying to solve great post-war problems "on the basis of incomplete data." ' Rather significant is the suggest'fon to Joseph Stalin that it would be well if he got in on the war conferences and their understandings. From The Daily News Files . . .
