This Changing World
German Leaders Fear Allies May Attempt
To Open Second Front in North Africu

Pierre Laval and the loyal
servants of the Vichy regime are
the only men definitely to be
counted on, the Germans agents
say. Hence, the Nazis fear that
arrival Of additional American
British troops might be the sig
nal for revolution against the
present French administration.
Despite mistakes of the Brit
ish In Africa and a certain
amount of clumsiness on the
part of the Americans, Allied
prestige is still strong. The
French Army-officially reduced
to 10000 men but with a much
greater potential-may become
an important asset in the hands
of the Allies should it decide to
help the anti-Vichy cause. The
principal invasion ports of Dakar,
Casablanca and Oran and we'll
defended by land and sea. A
French feet in excellent shape
is anchored in the harbors of
these bases.
Fear Second Front in Africa.
Neither Vichy nor the COM
manding officers of the various
units believe that the crews and
the bulk of the officers would
fight an American invasion force.
According to reliable reports,
German military quarters fear
that the Allies may attempt to
open a second front in Africa.
They are said to base their be-
lief on the fact that North
Africa is strategically a part of
the general European picture and
an offensive there would be the
opening of a European front in
every sense but geographically.
The present situation which
compels the Americans and Brit
ish to strengthen our forces in
Egypt over a 15,000-mile stretch
of water places us at a disad-
vantage as far as an offensive
in Egypt Is concerned.
Clearing the Mediterranean

may want hot music and news in
his entertainment diet, but he also
likes Shakespearean dramas.
He not only likes to see the classic
plays, but he's always had a banker
ing to emote under balcony-and,
surprisingly, he's good at it.
Capt. Maurice Evans, Broadway
actor commissioned by the Army to

a withdrawal of his main forces
from Egypt back into Libya. His
latest offensive was a failure.
His information services did not
work as well as usual, and he
lost numbers of men and material
without achieving any significant
results. The German marshal
was almost caught in a trap in
the Qattara Depression, but got
out with his usual lightning speed.
In this particular area, more
than on any other front, it is
the destruction of the enemys
power that really counts. Hun
dreds of miles of sandy territory
may be won or lost without seri-
ously affecting the major STRAIT
egy OF either opposing force.
Allied Offensive Likely.
The truth is that American
and British forces have been
reaching Egypt in larger num-
bers than the Germans antici-
pated. 1t is safe to say that the
defensive situation has changed
materially for the better since
some two months ago when most
military men in the United States
and Great Britain were extremely
doubtful whether the lines in
front of Alexandria and Cairo
could hold. In some quarters it
Is believed that if reinforcements
continue to arrive as they have in
recent weeks the Allied COM
manders may soon be ready to
assume the offensive.
With all this, however, 1t ap-
pears that Marshal Rommel is
less concerned over an Allied
drive in Egypt than he is over an
offensive in West Africa. In spite
of all the cajoling and threats the
Germans have never been sure Of
the loyalty of the French and of
the natives in Morocco and
Algeria.

Responsible quarters in Wash
ington and London have received
indications that the Germans
are particularly disturbed over
the possibility of new war de-
velopments within the next few
weeks in North Africa.
Nazi Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel is believed to have
drawn the attention of Adolf
Hitler to the possibility of a
pincers movement by the Allies
before the Axis powers have re-
ceived sufficient reinforcements
to strike a telling blow in that
area.
There are signs that Marshal
Rommel may be contemplating

tirely, but it would be difficult to
clear this vital sea unless we have

the enemy has possession of the

Wilkes Speeches Awaited
Republicans and Democrats Are Equally Curious
Over His Part in Political Compoiqn

before Pearl Harbor, and there
is a disturbing premonition that
he will have more to say on this
line.
When he branded his American
critics Tuesday as "the same old
die-hard tory group that still
thinks America can live to ITSELF"
he probably had in mind Repre-
sentative Halleck, Republican, of
Indiana, his once close friend
and nominator at Philadelphia,
who led in ridiculing his foreign
pronouncements in debate on the
House floor last week.
Backs Ball and Stassen.
Mr.. Willkie took advantage of
his Minnesota stop to heartily
indorse the candidates. for re-
election of Gov. Harold E. Stas-
sen and Senator Ball. Both have
been interventionists since 1899.
1t was noted that he made no
reference to the eight Republi-
cans an done Farmer-Laborite
who make up the Minnesota
House delegation, most of whom
have been isolationists.-
The gubernatorial situation in
New York is subject of special
Republican, concern. Mr.. WiIlkie
has missed no opportunity to in
dicate his distaste for Thomas E.
Dewey, the Republican nominee.
Shortly before his departure the
signs were that MIR. Willkie would
support Mr.. Dewey in some FASH
ion because he had no other place
to 60. 49,
He indicated that he could not
stomach either the Farley-spon-
sored Democratic candidate,
John J. Bennett, jr., or the Amer
lean Labor party nominee, Dean
Alfange. There is a suspicion,
however, that Mr.. WILKES in
dorsement, even If 1t eventuates,
will be so lukewarm as to do Mr..
Dewey more harm than good.
Perturbation of the Democratic
chieftains arises from their be-
lief that popular dissatisfaction
with the war effort, at home and
abroad, is the main cause of the
current pro-Republican trend
and fear that Mr.. WILKES out
givings may accentuate this con-
dition.
Statements Abroad Recalled.
At Moscow Mr.. Willkie called
for second front in Europe with
the statement that Allied leaders
might have to be prodded by pub
lie opinion to bring this about.
His utterances at Chungking not
only reflected this same impa-
tience over American-British
failure to assume the offensive
but also criticized the slowness of
delivery Of material to Russia
and China and what he called
the lack Of clearly-defined guar
antees of postwar independence
for the peoples of Asia.
Before he went abroad Mr..
Willkie had been directing criti-
cism against economic phases of
the war effort, and, at Mime
apolis Tuesday he said he would
have something to say about the
rules of censorship as they affect
the transmission of news to the
United States. '
These statements constitute q
framework for Mr.. WILKES COM
ing speeches which, If it Is pur-
sued and amplified by incidents
drawn from his travels certainly
Is not calculated to help the
Democrats.
