in Africa to defend-the Libyan front in North Africa and the Ethi- opian front in East Africa.
 In addition they had to defend the coasts of the British Isles, were under obligation to distant Australia and Singapore.
 Then on the high seas they had to keep part of the fleet in the east ern Meditrranan to support the Greeks, thereby diverting so many ships from the rest of the Mediter- ranean that the Germans and Ital- ians slipped across with panzer di- lisions to Libya.
 Result of these far-flung commit mentS is now history. The British could not fulfill their munitions promises to Yugoslavia and the Yu- goslavs were defeated. They could not fulfill similar promises to II r. key and the Turks are now tying up with Hitler. They did fulfill their pledge to Greece, but withdrew SC many troops from Libya, that they lost all their gains in North Africa
 Yet when military experts look back on British strategy. it is clear that there was nothing else they could do. They had to try to fulfill their pledges, yet their lack of men and material made fulfilment inn possible.
 U. S. FAR-FLUNG PLEDGES
 And what depresses U. s. defense experts at this very moment is real ization that when it comes to q multitude of commitments and 2 minimum of material, the United States is in exactly the same boat
 Our commitments begin with tht Philippines. which we are pledged by act of Congress to protect unti 1g46 Obviously fulfilment of thi. pledge is impossible. Our next com. mitment is Hawaii, which we can de fend but which will require an i'm portant fleet concentration.
 Next commitment is Alaska, eco nomically uniinportant but strate gically most important as a poten tial enemy air base. Russian or Jap anese planes based in Alaska woult be within a few hours striking dis tance of Seattle, Portland and Sal Francisco So Alaska, only a stone throw from Asia, will be extremei difficult to defend
 Next and newest commitment 1.

Mexico City.-Seven days of driving
from Washington, the war capital of
the world, to this ancient capital of
the Aztecs. Seven days of transition
and transformation But today, not of
Mexico City, but of events that are
observed along the way.
A guitar-ever present-sounds not
far away as this is written. And a
voice in purely Mexican-con-
ducive to forgetting about the alarums
of war. But yesterday the President
of the Mexican Republic delivered an
address to the opening Congress that
did not forget about war.
War is here as elsewhere through
out the world
If some of the people of the United
States forget about it, SO do some of
the people of this nation below the
Rio Grande.
But more about Mexico later.
We start from Washington. During
the first day of driving through Vir-
ginia we see four automobile wrecks
for which there seems no excuses, ex-
cept the most idiotic driving. Cars
smashed to imbecile wrecks because of
imbecile driving. We drive at SO and
55-and cars pass US at 60 and 10
and we come upon horrible tangles of
steel and shattered glass.
Through Tennessee the most curva-
ceous road, but with much beauty
And through Arkansas the greatest
feeling of safety-drivers are trained
to keep their own side of the road No
speed limit, but you had better not do
any driving that can be classified as
reckless. If cop sees you cross the
center line three times he comes along
side to see what is the matter with you.
The war-as you drive west-seems
to register less and less. The full story
needs to be told over and over again.
What does Hitler mean? Why do we
face the supreme crisis? 1t needs some
tall telling-and now!
The cities pass--Knoxville, Nash
vile, San Antonio - Laredo, which
back during the days Of the end of the
first World War saw the birth of the
Pan-American Federation Of Labor.
An interesting parade of cities, with
an interesting countryside rolling in
the intervening miles. Twenty-six
hundred of those miles. A great trip
If you observe just little.
There are some amazing facts here
at the end Of the trip-some also along
the way. One should spend weeks
where only days are available.

To smash the Nazi thrust
Before it reaches American shores
Must be American military policy
End the Nazi menace, dig it's grave

Rather than desperate battle for

Shove object lessons under our eyes,

We lack only the damning proof

At worst, we have spies, and some

Mexico has been revelling in /

Mexico has been revelling in a
smashing tourist season. Merchants
are abandoning the midday siesta to
catch the tourist dollars. Customs of
ages break down before the drive of
the main chance. And clerks are very
patient with customers who often are
imperious and outraged because things
are not as they are at home.
At Valles, a small town along the
way, at the foot of the steep climb up
to Mexico City, an orchestra and a
soloist appear at the hotel at 6 in the
morning to serenade someone who has
birthday.
And the Mexican hotel attendants
think it most unexplainable that some
of the guests should register such en-
phatic disapproval of the pretty ges-
ture of felicitation planned by some
friend.
Contradictions on every hand.
Strange things along the way. Sim
lister Nazi monkey work-peons who
scarcely know there is war-a gov
ernment that is with the United States
to the finish-and before you reach the
border some United States areas that
are almost as unaware of the crushing
weight of the war as determining
factor in the history of the human
race. But more-and more to the
point-next week.-C. M. w.
