The Second Front

The American public is clamoring for a
second front to be opened in Europe to d.
vert the Nszis from Russia who is throwing
everything she has into the life or death strug-
gle. Most people think Russia is doomed un-
less some such front is developed quickly.
The American public is impatient with
delays about opening this second front 1t is
pointed out that Britain has vast army i'm
mobilized in the British Isles that should be
fighting. 1t is also pointed out that while
America has been in the war formally only
eight months she has men scattered over the
world in 81 different outposts.
1t is not likely that the public clamor for
an immediate second front will be needed by
American and British military leaders until
they are ready, regardless of how much pres
sure is put upon them This is as it should be.
Our military leaders in Washington have
no right to dictate second front until we can
put men into battle fully equipped to fight
with plenty of reinforcements for those DOOM
ed to die for the survival of the United Ma
tons. Our people, in spite of themselves, are
beginning to get an idea of what it means to
put an army on the battle line in Europe.
They are beginning to realize what vast OPP
erations are necessary before men can be
transported, fed, clothed and kept in arma-
ments on the battlefield They know now
what huge navy is required to put the men
across the ocean and a steady stream of sup
ply ships must be ready to keep them fight
ing after they have arrived.
Before Pearl Harbor, when interven-
tionist and non-interventionist were calling
each other names, the interventonist drew
picture Of immediate American invasion if
England went down. According to his picture
all the Germans would have to have done
was come right over here and take us. lot
of people believed that. 1t is vaguely COM
.forting to suspect that the Nazis' would have
just as hard time invading America as
Britain and America are having in getting
started on a European invasion.
y. While the Japs have been trying to get
foothold in the Aleutian Islands, near our
Coast, our military leaders tell us they have
done themselves and their cause more harm
than good because of the number of their
ships we have been able to destroy. Whether
this is true or not the majority of Americans
from here on out will insist that the United
States have a sufficient number of outlying
bases in our hemisphere which are totally
armed and manned to guard against any
future invasion of the American continent.
We know that if we are sufficiently alert we
can avert any invasion of these United
States of America against any combine of ag-
gressor nations. Whatever our foreign police
may be in the future we shall insist on this.
