WHERE TO HIT
Official and diplomatic circles are
in accord with most ordinary OBJ
servers in predicting grim days
ahead for the United Nations II
Egypt falls. Some say the war
would be prolonged at least two
years
While officials are encouraged by
the British counter-attack ana
there is hope that Britain will hold
the forces OF German General Field
Marshal Erwin Rommel, they seem
none too optimistic about the situa'
ton.
Gravity OF the Egyptian situation
NAV intensity the clamor Tor
second front in Europe 10 relieve
pressure Oh both Egypt and Rus
STA. The risk involved in such an
attempt in the near future is gen
orally acknowledged. Some mill
tary experts estimate II would cost
the United Nations 100000 casual
ties to establish and maintain
major diversion front in western
Europe this year.
Speculation as TO the course OF
strategy likely 10 be pursued by
the United Nations in the event
Egypt should fall and the Axis
gains control Of the Middle East,
leads 10 the probability that the
United States would turn more at
tention TO the Pacific. This is pos
sible especially If the risk OF open
ing a second front in Europe this
year seems too great.
Pending the building up OF sufici-
ent shipping reserves for the
launching OF a major land offensive
in Europe, the United States
might concentrate on Japan TO
good advantage, reinforcing China
and intensifying the submarine and
aerial warfare against the Japanese
forces in the Pacific.
Naturally the idea of such a
change in strategy is viewed with
particular favor in Chinese diplo-
matte circles. II is pointed out
that a vast second front already
exists in China with a great mass
OF trained fighting manpower avail
able on the spot. The Chinese
think their country is the logical
place to launch a land offensive
against the Axis. especially II the
Middle Eastern front Is closed by
Rommels occupation Of Egypt and
sufficient shipping is not available
for an invasion attempt Of Europe
from the British Isles.
Even If Egypt should fall, the
Chinese believe the Russians will
keep Hitler busy the rest Of this
year and that adequate air and
heavy artillery support would en-
able the Chinese armies to smash
the Japanese land forces and pave
the way for knockout blow
against Nippon empire All de-
ponds upon that word adequate

ably continue giving chief attention
TO Europe. attempting to stop Hit
Ter in Europe this year. even il il
should involve the risk OF opening
a second front in Europe before
preparations are as complete as the
more conservative strategists
might wish.
In short We are far from being
prepared to do all the work that
must be done Until We get up TO
full speed production We can hit
occasionally On both sides, jockey
for time and hope our Allies will
hold till we can give the help they
need to win.

We'd been producing essentially
for war purposes. which skimped
US on consumer goods, and it took
US few years to catch up on the
