Would Americans
Back q Second A.E.F.?

Lord Beaverbrook, the British Minister
Of Supply, recently stated emphaticaly that he
did NOT believe that the British could count
upon victory simply by aerial attack.
Is there any evidence at all that the Amer
lean people are willing to sacrifice millions Of
young men in an attempt to land a gigantic
army in Europe and defeat the NaI war ma
chine on its own groundi Is there any reason
to believe that the American people will submit
voluntarily to a sufficiently drastic curtsil-
ment OF their standard of living to make pos
sible the equipment Of a gigantic American EI-
pcditionary Force, the building Of the huge
quantity Of ship tonnage necessary to trans
port it across the Atlantic and supply it, while
also keeping England going with war supplies
until the long-distant date when such an Ex-
peditionary Force can be made readyi
II the American people felt that their own
country were endangered they would no doubt
make the necessary sacrifices, but they have
not been CONVINCED that such is the case.
The latest Gallup Poll (August 16)
shows 50 per cent of the American
people OPPOSED to the sending of an
American Erpeditionary Force to-
Europe.

Can Britain Win
With American Aid?

The plain questions which Americans must
ask themselves are these:
Gan Britain win the War without the aid
Of huge American armies; can the War be won
even with such aid; and are the American
people in any case able and willing to under
take the gigantic ask Of rsconquering the Con-
tinsnt Of Europe from Hitisr7
Ifthey are not, then let them plainly
state the fact and no longer DELUDE
both Themselves and the British as to
their readiness and ability to enable
England to UfH the War.
As regards the first question We have the
word Of both Britain's outstanding Generals,
Auebinleek and Wayell, that Germany can only
be beaten by superior military force and that
AMERICAN. MANPOWER is ESSENTIAL
il victory is to be won.
In General Sir Archibald Wavells words:
The Germans must be beaten on their own
soil, exactly the way Napoleon was beaten.
And II that Is the way 1t Ii to turn out, We
certainly are going to need American man
power Just 90 we did in the last war"
General De Gaulle has publicly expressed
an identical opinion.
No outstanding military authority has
supported the view, so widely held in the
United States, that Germany can be defeated
by blockade and aerial bombardment
