Editorials and Comment
BEYOND
THE ALPS

(Ontario Daily Report)
We make no pretenSon to being a mill
tary authority. And most certainly we
feel very uncomfortable pouring colo
water upon the first real heart-warming
the United Nations have enjoyed for a
long time.
Nevertheless. nobody who seeks to help
interpret current events would be living
up to his obligations if, in appraising
what is going on in North Africa, he fail
ed to get out an atlas and consult the
physical features of Southern Europe,
which we assume is to constitute the site
of the effective second front.
This can be done without giving infor-
nation to the NaZiS, who know every
rock and footpath of those mountainous
regions which for our casual purposes
consist of variations in the ink colors on
maps.
Look briefly at any good physical map
of Southern Europe You will see that
there is just one narrow path up from
the sea which is not obstructed by noun
tain ranges. That is through the Rhone
Valley. The mouth of the Rhone, the foot
of its valley lies west of Marseilles,
France.
To the west of the Rhone lie the Cev-
ennes mountains, ranging upward to more
than a mile in height, but with relatively
low foothills and generally good trans
portation facilities. To the east of the
Rhone Valley lie the Alps, heralded by
Mont Blanc, almost 10000 feet high.
Italy itself is cut off from the rest of
the axis by ranges of the Alps towering
upward from 5000 feet, with only one
gap until, to the east, the foothills to-
ward the Denube Valley are reached
Thus even the most amateur consider
alton reveals that reasonably convenient
access from the Mediterranean coast to
the expanded Reich is narrowly limited.
The Nazis can concentrate their defenSeS
in relatively few strong points which
we must assume have been thoroughly
prepared against any such threat as now
looms.
This does not mean that the United
Nations can not march to Berlin from
the Mediterranean 1t does mean that
the current operations are child's play
as contraSted with a second European
front 1t means that the casualty lists
are nearly all in the future. 1t means
that in the light of the most realistic in
formation available from Central Europe
those who now talk of peace in a twelve
month must have locked their brains in
dead storage before they opened their
mouths.

In the Mediterranean the adj

Spain and the Balearic islands by
sowing mines over a wide area.
Reports from African field COM

The japanese were fighting

miles inland to the native village
of Soputa, on the Buna-Kokoda

Hour after hour the Allied forces

thrown into action yesterday

Strong forces of enemy Zero

Warning that all Mediterranean

been laid in an area extending
from the French-Spanish frontier
to a point outside the Balearic is
