The talk about preparation for a five-year war was thoroughly unim- pressive. It was the sort of talk one in such a predicament as that of the Reichsfuehrer might be expected to make on the occasion of the celebra- tion of the anniversary of the event which marked the beginning of the programme leading to the present state of affairs.
The information on the explosion in the beer hall shortly after the de- livery of the Hitler speech and the departure of Hitler as yet is so mea- ger as to render impossible interpre- tation of the significance of the ex- plosion, but the immediate offer of a heavy reward for the detection of the authorship of the explosion suggests grave concern on the part of the Na- zi authorities.-"Manila Bulletin."

Others for better rea- sons may echo the Moscow paper Izvestia, which a few weeks ago was glossing over the start of war emphasizes "senseless slaughter" and "Continuation of the war declares: cannot be justified by anything."
Others, conscious that the right is not all on one side, are seeking more of assurance that every possibility making a stable and just peace is be- ing explored. In England there are voices urging a clarification of na- tional purpose. Reconstituting Po- land without defeating Russia looks difficult.
