lantic recently. There's nothing you
can put your finger on to show
where the idea had its birth, though
its very persistence encourages be-
lief that it isn't without substance.
Now along comes Der Fuehrer to
say he's seen the ghost.
OF course, the easiest way to ex-
plain it would be to put it down to
wishful thinking. There's plenty of
that here as we'll as in our own
America, for John Bull and family
are eager to come to death grips
with Hitler.
The old flower lady in Piccadilly
Circus-for these colorful characters
in London life still stick to their
posts despite the bombing, God love
em-summed the thing up for me
when I stopped to buy a rose and
have little chat for old times sake.
Sure, we're going to win" she
said, but we wants to get ahead
with it."
Still, the explanation Of wishful
thinking rather over-simplifies the
thing. In view of the fact that both
Britain and America have stated
they are preparing an offensive and
will get into action as soon as
feasible, it's not illogical to think
that something might pop some
where any time
1t seems that second front" and
Western Europe have become
synonymous in the minds of many
of the public, both in Britain and
America. Signs are that it will be
safer not to try to pin expectations
to that area or to any other spe-
cific zone at this time. There are
several useful places where the
Allies could strike.
The powerful Manchester Guard
ian is advocating an Allied effort
to drive the Axis from North Africa
and re-establish control of the
Mediterranean. Success there
would rush us a long way toward
victory. Whether that's where the
Allies may strike remains to be
seen, but it's one of the oppor-
tunities.
Anyway, it's clear that If and
when the Allied command decides
to open new front it will have
the eager support of the people of
Britain and the United States.
That support is calculated to pro-
vide inspiration for action when it
is wholly feasible. Maybe that's
what Wendell Willkie had in mind
when he said some of our military
leaders may need some public
prodding."

Wide World War ANALYST

LONDON, Oct. Herr Hitlers
boastful promise to his people yes
terday that he will retaliate against
Britain for the bombing raids on
Germany finds John Bull quite un-
moved and stoically reconciled to
renewal of the Nazi war from the
air.
However, while there can be no
question of Der Fuehrer's intention
to resume his aerial hymn of hate,
there is considerable doubt how far
he will be able to carry out his plans.
He no longer is the mighty man he
was before he tangled with the un-
conquerable Bolshevists.
He can't just say. as of old, Let
Britain be bombed" and know that
his genie had done the job.
Hitlers ability to conduct further
wholesale bombings of Britain is
contingent on several important
things. One of them is whether the
Allies open up that second front
about which he has shown by deed
and word that he is worried
His declaration yesterday that he
is ready to meet such an offensive
is at least partly true, for his de-
fensive preparations in Western
Europe have been obvious. Should
such an Allied operation eventuate
the all-highest might find himself
far too busy meeting it to permit
of bombing Britain =
Fully PreOccupied Now.
At the moment, of course, he is
fully preoccupied with his thus far
unsuccessful effort to annihilate the
Russian army of the south.
For months now the German
efforts against Britain have been
confined largely to nuisance raids.
These have included such inglorious

JEWISH DETERMINATION

JEWISH DIFFERENTIATION
The Jews Of North Africa this
week were happy over their lib
GRAFTON. But the question arose
whether the liberation which came
for them will not come too late
for millions of Jews in other
parts of the world. There came
evidence, revealed by the Polish
GOvernment-in-Ex Exile, for example,
confirming the long suspected
plan of a deliberate Nazi plot for
the mass-exterminatiOn of the
Jews. 1t was estimated last week
by the Polish GOvernment-in-
Exile that in conformity with this
plot, at least 100000 Jews have
already been put to death by the
Nazis in Poland. Formerly, there
were half a million Jews i'm War
saw alone. Today, only some
10000 Jews are left there.
The cattle cars into which Jews
are loaded, ostensibly for depor-
tation, are really not trains, says
the Polish Government report,
but execution chambers. A car
which can hold 40 persons is filled
with $50. When the trains ar
rive at their destination, all but
the strongest are dead and these
are used by the Nazis for forced
labor.
So the report goes on in a har-
rowing tale of Murder, Inc, which
has no match in history. All
over Poland, the Nazis have es-
tablished DETERMINATION camps"
where Heinrich Himmler's min
Ions feast ON death.
These reports are confirmed
this week by other sources besides
the Poles.
DIR. Stephen s. Wise said this
week that a representative Of
President Roosevelt, recently re-
turned from q mission abroad, in
formed him that ''the worst fears
about the fate Of the Jews under
Hitler are true" DIR. Wise esti-
mated that zone half of the five
million Jews in the territories &C.
cupied by the Nazis have already
been destroyed.
Governor Lehman, who has just
been named to the new post of
Director of Relief and Rehabilita-
ton, for the populations liberated
by the United Nations, in a state
ment this week predicted that the
plight of the Jewish people after
the war will be so desperate that
the survival of large numbers will
hinge on the opportunity of OBJ
tanning healing and home in Pal
estine." Indeed, there is occasion
Tor apprehension that it may be
even more desperate than that,
Tor the mass determination of
Jews which is now taking place
may not leave any Jews to go to
Palestine. Let us hope that our
Tears will not be fulfilled.
Hitler depOrted many Jews to
the desert to build that Trans
Sahara railroad with which he
hoped to help conquer the Middle
East. The victory in North At
RIGA, from reports which came
this week, is leading to thousands
OF these refugees fleeing these
camps. Many are joining the new
African army now being raised to
fight for the Allies.

this week citing the valor of Jews
In resisting the enemy. There

CHUNGKING, April IA P.-A
Chinese Army spokesman said today
the Japanese were attempting to
surround Chinese positions at Ye-
dashe, in Burma, 20 miles north of
Toungoo, from three directions and
that he had no information on
whether they had been successful.
The spokesman urged that every

to prevent the Japanese from reach

Irrawaddy valley before the rainy
season begins in early May.
The oil fields are the only near
source of fuel for China. Defended
by the British, they are only a little

The spokesman said the japanese
were throwing all their available
