Atlantic coast of Morocco. Mai. Gen
Charles w. Ryder led the troops at
Algiers, and Maj. Gen. Lloyd R. Freden-
dali, who served several years ago under
Gen. Douglas Macarthur in the Philip
pines, led the troops at Oran.
Those are the bright names for Amer
lea in the excursion that has lifted every
heart in the United States of America.
The arrangements made by Gen. Clark
began at once to show effect. While the
Vichy government announced that rela-
tions with the United States were termi-
mated, Gen. Henri Honore Giraud urged
the North Africans to offer no resistance
to the invaders. 1t was with representa-
tives of white -mustached Giraud, who
escaped German prison camp last sum-
mer, that Gen. Clark talked in the secret
rendezvous Gen. Eisenhower announced
that Gen. Giraud was to be the French
military and civil commander in North
Africa.
At Casablanca, the port of entry dur
ing the past two years for number of
ships bearing food from United States,
Gov. Gen. Charles Auguste Nogues of
Morocco ordered resistance. The Ameri-
can bombardment put the great battle
ship, Jean Bart, $4,000 tons, in flames.
Casablanca fell on Tuesday, and Nogues
fled to the mountains. Algiers sur
rendered in II hours. Oran, pounded
by trench mortars, gave up on Tuesday.
So within two days the United States had
captured a. region about the size of
France itself. It had captured also. in

Algiers, Admiral Jean Darlan, the chief
of all French armed forces He repudi-
ated his Vichy allegiance, swung himself
to the Allies and on Wednesday after
noon ordered all Vichy naval and land
forces in North Africa to surrender their
arms and return to their barracks They
obeyed. 1t was truce. Once more Gen.
Clark, the great diplomat, had been at
work. A Clark-Darlan conference pre-
ceded the order. Nogues joined Darlan
at Algiers.
Events in Morocco and Algiers shook
the ground in Germany. Adolf Hitler
went to Rome, where he conferred with
Benito Mussolini and
Hitler Coils Pierre Laval on Tues
Conference day. On Wednesday
Axis troops entered
Unoccupied France in defiance of the
provisions of the 1910 armistice and
headed toward Marseille. Marshal
Petain protested for the record but did
nothing-as he could do nothing-to
hinder the new German invasion. The
Allies, planning the North African cam
paign had expected the Axis occupa-
ton of the unoccupied. The French
fleet at Toulon was held at its base.
After Casablanca formally surrendered
on Wednesday, the next Allied North
African objective became the Protector
ate of Tunisia. The Axis sent some
troops to Tunis and the Allies began
a hurried march to that key point,
which commands the Mediterranean at
it's narrowest point. American planes

Pacific Front

The guns fire ceaselessly In the tropic
hell of Guadalcanal and the warships
are constantly at war in the waters
around the key Solomon island. The
great battle of the South Pacific still
goes on. On Friday the Navy described
terrific 10hour engagement at Guadal-
canal in which 80 Japanese planes out
of 81 were shot down at the price of dam
age to the heavy cruiser San Francisco
and the destroyer Buchanan. The en-
gagement came during a new effort by
the Japs to land more troops on Guadal-
canal, but gunfire from American ships
destroyed 80 large landing boats.
The bloody war around the Solomons
is costly. 1t is easier to take all Morocco
and Algiers than it is to take a foot of
ground on Guadalcanal. But the Amer
ican flag is still there. Representative
Mas, Republican, of Minnesota COM
planned last week that we were losing
the war in the Solomons. Apparently
he confuses loss of equipment and men
with loss of engagements. The British
lost more than the Germans at Jutland.
But the British won the battle because
they kept the Germans from ACCOMPLISH
Ing their aim. The Japanese have not
accomplished their aim in the South
west Paciflc-gaining control of tho
/ Solomons-and they probably won't.

began to attack Tunis Thursday. In
French North Africa the British-who
co-operated with the Americans from
the campaigns beginning in a manner
that amply proved the feasibility of
joint action between forces of two
Allies-created a new outfit, the 1st
Army, under command of 1t. Gen. Ken
meth Arthur Noel Anderson. He began
a drive toward Northern TunHia, while
an American column cut toward the
south.
President Roosevelt requested the Bey
OF Tunis, the native nominal ruler, and
the French Resident, Admiral Esteva,
to grant to Allied troops the right of
transit through Tunisia. Tunisia, which
centuries ago was the strategic keystone
OF Carthage, likewise is the strategic
keystone of the whole African CAM
paign. Tunisia is the gate to Italy.
Tunisia in the hands of the Allies means
that Libya no longer will be in the
hands OF the enemies A force from
Tunisia can squeeze the Axis armies
In Libya from the west as the 9th Army
OF Gen. Bernard Law Montgomery
squeezes them from the east. To hold
Tunisia, then, is to make possible the
gaining OF the whole of Africas Medi-
terranean shore, and to make the
Mediterranean seat for Allied naval
operations Is to confront the whole
southern shore of Europe with the like
lhood Of Allied invasion.

Russian Front

At last their Allies had provided the
Soviets with the second front. That it
was the sort Of second front Moscow
has been clamoring for Joseph Stain
made clear Friday night. In London,
Prime Minister Churchill, giving to
President Roosevelt all credit for the
concept Of the Northwest African opera
ton, said that crossing of the North
Sea or the English Channel to fight
in Europe is due some time. But there
still is no sign when.

to meet the Mediterranean threat. The
campaign of 1912 In Russia brought the
Nazis great gains, but they were dry
straw because the Nazis still did not gain
their objectives. They went into the
Caucasus, but they gained no Caucasian
oil fields of consequence. They forced
their way to the southern Volga, but they
are still battling for the city they began
to assault almost three months ago,
Stalingrad
The Soviet Army newspaper Red Star
characterized as the beginning OF new
Nazi offensive the vigorous thrusts which
the Axis armies made at Stalingrad on
Thursday Moscow said all the thrusts
had been repelled with heavy Nazi losses.
Northwest of the Volga River city, Rus
sian troops repulsed an enemy attack
and wiped out $50 Nazis. The govern
ment organ Izvestia reported that Rus
sian aviators of the Black Sea fleet had
made a damaging surprise raid with
parachusists on German airdrome
near Maikop in the Caucasus.

to, which was frequently.
They still are sinking billions Of yen
into the army and navy, and insist on
assurance of some return on their in
vestment-a share in the spoils.
So the very important Manchurian
and China Affairs Boards were in turn
set up to cut them in.
These were both huge organizations,
theoretically designed to reconstruct"
the areas concerned. Actually they de-
voted themselves exclusively to milking
Manchuria and China of their entire
available economic yield, and any ire
construction which went forward was
in the form of industrial and other
building aimed primarily at increasing
Japanese profits.
The bureaucrats placed in charge
were borrowed" from big japanese
companies like Mitsui and Mitsubishi,
and from the Gaimisho (foreign Office.
After every one got settled down
nicely, they all went over and arranged
terms with the local military commander,
Rivalry and Jealousy.
But between the various areas there
was bitter rivalry and jealousy-to an
extent that mocks, the popular idea of
Japanese unity.
Each area was closed economic and
political unit, with its own currency,
state banks, industrial setup and puppet
government. All were supposed to be
pulling for Toxic and the glory of the
empire, but their primary concern seemed
to be their individual prestige, power
and wealth.
Each district became such profitable
af1air-to the local bosses-that interfer-
ence from outside was highly resented.
Commanders like Gen. Count Hisaichi
Terauchi in Peking and Gen. Seishiro
1tagah in Marking, and others, amassed
tremendous personal fortunes.
There was. much talk of cooperation
among all the occupied areas, especially
by occasional "co-ordinators" sent out
from Toxic. but on the spot we saw little
concrete evidence of it.
Much coal went from North China, for
instance, to Japanese furnaces, but at
an excellent profit to the North China
crowd.
Selfish Interests Abound.

the Kuantung Army In Manchuria never
lifted finger to relieve them.
Similarly, high Japanes officers In

enter that region. These instances are
not cited to prove If things got really
serious there would not be effective mill
tary cooperation, but they do indicate
the extent of the regionalism that de-
velops among both military and civilian
administrative cliques under the Japa-
nese colonial system-a regionalism
which appears to be based primarily on
local selfish interests.
Hope for Settlement.
Creation of the new super ministry
means that the concentration of colonial
control it affords has become necessary
because of the way the war is going.
Japan's leaders didn't expect a push
over when they attacked the United
States, but there are many indications
that the yhoped to wangle settlement

point-after Singapore, Manila and
Batavia fell.
Now it must be apparent to Tokio's
leaders that Japan is in for long and
very difficult shedding.
Welding the conquered territories into
single economic unit-a co-ordinated
producing machine for the war-slash-
ing multiple control and cross currents
of graft and personal ambition, has now
become prime necessity if Japan and
the empire are to withstand coming
assaults.
That the dissident elements have ac-
quiesced to the TOTO program of con-
solidation shows how serious the situa-
ton must appear in the inner councils
in Toxic.
Even so, it took TOTO two full months
to get the project to the stage where
he could announce it without fear Of
having it fall through on him.

SHAKEUP PUTS TOTO AT HEAD OF EMPIRE
Heads Uneasy Partnership Of Money and Military

mr.. White, an Associated Press
,Driter back In the United States after
decade in the Orient, Uiews the
japanese bureaucratic shakeup in the
light OF his observations as a foreign
correspondent
heavals in history has taken place in
Japan.
Premier Gen. Hideki TOTO has made an
imperative attempt to rally the empire
for the trials ahead by creating super
ministry of East Asiatic affairs.
To do it he wiped out the overseas
ministry, the powerful Manchurian and
China Affairs Boards, the East Asiatic
and South Seas Bureaus of the Foreign
Ministry and 81 other bureaus and IL
government departments
The shakeup took two cabinet DEGREES
and 78 imperial ordinances to accom-
plish, and will make some 10000 high
and medium government officials think
twice before they turn in their next
expense accounts. Probably 10 times
this number of petty clerks and secre-
taries will find their jobs affected.
Into Tojo's experienced hands this re-
organization gathers the complicated
details of government throughout ia
pans vast new colonial empire-Man-
churia, Mongolia, occupied China, Indo-
China, Thailand Burma, Malaga, the
Netherlands Indies, the Philippines and
the South Seas, and Japans earlier pos
sessions of Formosa, Korea and Sakhalin.
Most important, it gives him much
firmer control of the exploitation Of these
areas.
Hopes to Wipe Out Graft.
A great deal of gravy that has been
going into the private pockets of colonial
officials is involved, and TOTO wants 1t
for the war.
Gen. TOTO can get it if any one can.
He was for some time concurrently chief
of staff of the Kuantung Army and
head Of the Japanese gendarmerie
(secret police in Manchuria, just at a
time when Manchuria was serving as q
vast training ground for Japanese ad-
ministrators.
Most Of the economic and other spe-
cialists whom Japan pours into the occu-
pied areas in East Asia won their spurs
In Manchoukuo.
As they dipped acquisitive fingers into
the colonial pie TOTO was sitting quietly
In Hsinking, the capital, filing dossier
after dossier on each man. He knows all
about them-their political vagaries,
their friendships, ambitions and weak
nesses. They know he knows.
For many years now the Japanese
military have wanted to put through
some such unificstion program as the
new East Asiatic ministry is intended to
accomplish. Many Of them are strongly
inclined to state socialism-with the
army, Of course, running the show-and
they are not too patient with the Japa-
nesc capitalists who have been footing
the bills for imperial expansion.
But the capitalists-the big industrial
lists and the bankers-have held out
stubbornly as far Is possible, giving

There the eight repaired, and all day

transport they made their way back to

paved the way for the invasion of

When Americans were casting their
votes week ago last Tuesday, mighty
array of ships was steaming down from
England toward the region the officers
visited. Transports carried an estimated
10000 soldiers, almost all OF them
Americans, and warshlps guarded the
transports. The Axis had advance
knowledge of the armada and U-boats
lurked in it's path. Yet only one trans
port was struck, and all men aboard it
were rescued At 3 am. November 9
