Our Wars Develop
Slowly but Favorably
RUSSIAN SECRECY ABOUT THE
WAR TENDS TO CONFUSE THE
ISSUE ABOUT A SECOND FRONT
The second front debate would
be easily solved, perhaps, if the
public had any accurate and de
pendable information as to the
losses suffered by the German and
and Russian armies in the bitter
fighting that has marked the 1942
campaign.
Nobody knows whether the nazis
have been “bled white” as some
highly placed officials seem to be
lieve. We have no knowledge of
the condition of the Russian army
itself and cannot know whether it
is in condition to wage a real win
ter campaign.
It is not our fault that we do not
have this information. While there
is considerable justification for
secrecy regarding military and na
val affairs, in time of war, the so
viet government has not permitted
anyone to tell the full story of the
epochal campaigns which have
stopped the blitzkrieg.
The possibility exists that Presi
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minis
ter Churchill have been thorough
ly informed by the soviet govern
ment, but so far as we are aware,
no observers have been permitted
to check-up on the Moscow ap
praisal of the battle situation.
Basis for a Second Front
Obviously, an offensive in west
ern Europe, or in some other vital
nazi area, is expected as soon as
Anglo-British military experts feel
that it will succeed. Even with
out this assurance it would be
launched, we believe, if the red
army faced destruction or if the
Germans were in such a plight as
to invite a knockout blow.
The Russians have chosen to
fight their war their own way,
which is undoubtedly their right
It might have been better, and
producive of greater co-operation,
if Moscow had permitted British
and American army experts to get
the facts at first hand. To de
mand a second front, without giv
ing allied nations full access to all
facts about the war in Rusisa, is a
bit unreasonable.
Present War Trend Is Better
At this time it is apparent that,
on the surface, the trend of the
war is favorable to the United Na
tions. Neither Germany nor Ja
pan accomplished the objectives of*
their 1942 campaigns and neither
has managed to make certain that
the gains made will be retained. |
Despite punishing blows and the
loss of much territory the strength
of the United Nations is gradually
overcoming that of the axis. The
hold-on-to-gain-time stage has
passed and there is many indica
tions of increased confidence in
regard to the war with Germany,
as well as that with Japan.
• Americans must not forget that
this nation, with Great Britain, is
’in two wars. While the overthrow
of Hitler may be the first task and
the biggest job, the defeat of Ja
pan is just as necessary to the
peace of the world. In this latter
phase of the world war the soviet
government is not co-operating
and? so far as the public knows,
has not committed herself to any
future course of action against Ja
pan.
World's Greatest Seafight?
The continuing action in and
around the Solomon Islands is of
the utmost importance to Great
Britain and the United States, the
two nations that are to
defeat Japan, alter Hitler is
whipped in Europe. The f inal out
come of the bitter fighting will
forecast the length of the struggle
with Japan, although it cannot pre
vent the Anglo-American combina
tion from winning.
Both the Japanese and the
United States are pouring rein
forcements into the fight over the
Guadalcanal airfield. Before it ends
there is the possibility that the
world’s greatest seafight will take
place, involving surface and air
craft on a scale never before seen.
With both nations dependent!
upon surface ships to transport i
and supply the men fighting for!
the islands, the outcome of the
contest will depend upon the con
trol of the waters surrounding the
vitil areas. This will require air
craft and warshjps on a scale not
heretofore approached and some
new naval strategy will evolve from
the outcome of the battle.
U. S. Forces Will Determine
Outcome
Meanwhile, on many fronts of
the war American aircraft is mak
ing itself felt, just as, a few months
later, the first contingents of the
new army will add to the worries
of Hitler and Hirohito. This devel
oping participation of the United,
States will prevent the axis from
extending their present gains al
though one must not expect the'
United Nations to win all cam
paigns.
The axis nations possess a pow
erful punch, but the forces arrayed
against them are steadily increas
ing in strength, in battle experi
ence and in supplies and equip
ment. Gradually, the pressure will
be more than the axis can with-
stand and the collapse that will
follow in Germany will repeat the
suddenness of the 1918 defeat.
The Japanese war may last long
er but its end will depend almost
entirely upon the naval strength
that can be thrown into the Far
East. Here the United States is
□earing the brunt of the war, but
>,s new ships of the line and in the
~r become available there is rea
sonable grounds for the belief that
apan, too, will find herself unable
o meet the pressure.
