A Week Of The War

WASHINGTON, Nov. 16.-Presi-
dent Roosevelt ordered the Lend
Lease Administration to make avail
able as Don as possible food,
clothing and weapons of war to the
armed forces and the citizens of the
areas in North Africa occupied by
U. 5. troops. mo one will go
hungry or without other means of
livelihood in any territory occupied
by the United Nations the Presi-
dent said, "if it is humanity within
our power to make necessary sup
plies available to them. Weapons
also will be supplied to the people
OF these territories to hasten the
defeat of our common enemies"
The late November 13 allied forces
had extended the Algerian zone Of
occupation as far east as Bone, lust
so miles from Tunisia. When
French destroyers at Casablanca put
up strong resistance against Amer
lean naval units protecting U. S.
troop landings there. the u. S. sur
face forces and dive bombers de-
stroyed an entire f1otilla of French
destroyers and light craft and left
the 3%5,000-ton French battleship
Jean Bart a burning hulk. All hos
tilities in French North Africa ceas-
ed November IL, II hours after
the U. S. Offensive began. In
many places the local population
and U. S. troops joined in Armis-
tice Day ceremonies. The War
Department said American casulties
were light.
The President described the At
rican campaign as a smaller second
front launched in lieu of a big-scale
offensive against the Axis forces
across the English Channel. He said
that during Prime Minister Church
ills visit to Washington in June it
was decided a major offensive across
the Channel could not have been
started until next year at the earl
lest. The African offensive was
decided upon by the end of June,
by late July the number of men
necessary and points of attack had
been determined, and the approxim-
ate date~waS set by the end of
August.
War Secretary Stimson said that
despite the fact hat the Germans
must have been aware some sort of
large operation was in immediate
prospect in North Africa, Axis eff
forts to intercept it with numerous
submarines were futile. All u. S.
forces moved to their points of at
tack, only n transport was torpe-
doed, and troops from this ship pro-
ceeded in their landing craft more
than 100 miles to their destination.
Under Secretary of War Patterson
reported 100000 different items Of
equipment and supplies were re-
CURED for the North African oper-
alton. Navy Secretary Knox said
it took five to seven times as many
ships to carry men and goods around
Africa to the Middle East as it
would to carry them straight through
Gibralter and into the Mediterran-
can.
