War Situation LasrNight

B! Rirkc L. Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst

Events within Germany and Japan that have rocked the war weary world with breathless speculation could hold u more certain clue to the probable duration of the struggle, not only in Europe but beyond the Pac- ific, than the wur progress maps themselves yet reveal.

The fall of the Tofo war cabinet in Tokyo was born of cumulative Japanese defeats in the Pacific and frustration in Chino. There is reuou, loo, for assuming that it also reﬂects acceptance by Japan's military caste, even bcforc Hitler's escape from death at f‘ hands clinched it, of the fact that their Nazi war accomplice is doomed.

‘The Tojo ministry, authors of that ill os-nencd Nnsl-Nippoucsc sl- llancc, has paid the price for its utter mlsjiraigmenf of the scene In war- wracked Europe as wcll as its own bitter defeats. New national lielms- nrcn have been summoned by Imperial decree to salvage what they could from the wreckage of Japanese conquest hopes.

IIow they will attempt it ls still to be revealed. but the task assigned (hem is clear. It is not to seal a victory but to find somehow, somewhere an escape from total defeat. ‘

It ls an inescapable conclusion that Tokyo's cabinet crlsls stemmed in part out of more intimate knowledge of the seething under-current. of anti-Nazi revolt in‘ Germany than any other government possessed. Communication between Tokyo and Berlin has been retained even though hope of actual contact between the two ends of the Axis long ago dicil.

The world learned of that internal crisis in Germany certainly only when Nazi broadcasts told of the attempted assassination of Iliiler. Jap- nn well may have known fur weeks or even mouths that it was brewing. The fall of Tolo synchronized too closclv with Nazi revelation of rising panic over disaffectlon on the home front and even among the fighting force; being rolled back by the offensive avalanche to doubt some connection. '

By cvcry military dictum word not alone of the attack on Hitler but of ii situation cven within Gennan armies approaching open warfare be- tween their Nazi ‘ ’ and echelons and the non-political commanders and troops should have been withheld from external enemies. but. it was nut. Hitler and his panic-stricken Nazi associates dared not delay in ol- erflng party police cohorts, breathing rllrc threats of a new orgy of "purge" blond-letting. ordering out-of-hand executions. The radio. and Hitler's own voice over ll. afforded the only means of reaching not only all Germany but troops afar in the field oulclrly enough.

That resort to radio alone was sufficient to inform the W0!!!‘ "I" l" Nazi judgment itself’ the peril of an anti-war, anti-Hitler. anti-Nazi up- rising In Germany. even in iho arrny- w” \1ery real nncl very grei

Mr. Churchill climbed onto the seat and looked across devastated Caen to the area where British and Canadian armor and infantry were slugging it out with the Ger- mans.

Tlie Prime Minister was driven through the ruins of La Villeneuve and on past the twisted steel hulks that were the hangars at Carpl- quet, three miles west of Caen. Gen, pointed out dc- tails of the airfield where Cana- dian troops had fought so bitterly.

Later Mr. Churchill ste ped out of the car to have snot er look at Carpiquet. It seemed to inter- est him keenly and he talked about it animatedly with his aides. Geri. Montgomery and Gen. Dempsey stood by, attentive to the Prime Minister's questions about the de-

Churchill Co

Situation In

LONDON, July 23 — (CP) —In ihe first official Allied word on the crisis in Germany Prime Min- ister Churchill said during a visit to Normandy today there are “grave signs of weakness" in the Reich and predicted the war "might come to an end earlier than we have a right to say."

While roundabout reports told of a purge of German generals and the wholesale shakeup com- mands, Mr. Churchill asserted:

"There are grave signs of iveak- ness in Germany. They are in a

great turmoil inside and none can measure the extent." Mr. Churchill spoke to about

500 men who surrounded him af- ter his plane lnnded nt an RAF‘ flying field in Normandy. He summed up Germany's internal crisis in these words:
