He was met by a volley of fire

LONDON, Dec 81 CUP - The
worlds greatest pOWCrS-l0ckcd in
life death struggle in total var
reached years end today with allied
nations on the offensive III Africa
and Russia, and maSsing resources
to strike back eventually at the
axis on a worldwide front.
With the start of 1912 there is
apparent crystali2ation of the long
range grand strategy which must
be put into effect to meet highly
organized axis aggression
The final center of such grand
strategy logically might be Wash
ington but it seems certain TO take
shape first in London on the basis
of conversations in Moscow, Chung
king ana Washington in which Brit
iSh statesmen sounded out the needs
and capabilities OF other primary
anti-aXis powers.
CLOSER nLLIANCE
New unity of purpose may re-
suit in a closer military alliance Of
Britain. Russia China, and the
United States plus the Netherlands,
Norway, Poland and other nations
which to a greater or lesser degree
are contributing to the total VA.
It still appears however, that cir
cumstanceS prevailing as Of Jan.
|. 1912. will force the grand strategy
to remain elastic at present to meet
a hundred possible contingencies
with the Still-limited resources of
the anti-aXis front.
The strategy seems to swing au-
tomatically into two general periodS
first defensive, which Primo
Minister Winston Churchill in his
speech to the United States congress
put at approximately one year;
Second, an offensive TO start
when the huge potentials of Russia.
the British Empire and the United
States can be brought fully into
play.
PROTECTION FIRST
The first period seems slated tc
be one Of delicately balanced m&~
neuyer designed to protect What
lllc tlllcS have, anu tiIJO|C 'lt -
maintain vital supply lines and pre-
vent the axis from seizing the base
from which a general allied cffen-
s!ve must one day be launched.
This period demands a solution
to several problems of urgent i'm
portance. none of which can b"
ignored but each Of which - with
one eXception--must be judged il
relations to the others.
These problems are production,
food and supply lines.
