She stepped out far and alarmingly in quick time after Pearl Harbor but has failed to consolidate the widespread gains which she made at that time. It is not impossible that her position may disintegrate rapidly once it starts to go. PINCHING GERMANY On the other side of the world, Germany daily finds herself in a less happy position. To the east the Russian land roller appears to have developed a momentum of such force that it is difficult to say where it will stop although, once the Red Army gets in the Reich, it is natural to suppose that it win slow up. To the south and to the west the tide of war these days is also definitely against the Nazis. The big squeeze is now on and, as the German deterioration continues, there is good reason to expect, without wishfully thinking, that decisive events in our favor may continue as summer advances. No doubt there is a lot of hard and grim fighting yet to be done but. the happy culmination in Europe is steadily coming more plainly into view.
