Any proper study OF the problems
involved in setting up an effective
second front" in Western Europe
must take into account the penin-
sular campaigns Of approximately 130
years ago. Those operations are
significant for the lessons which, If
carefully examined, they would teach.
II they are difficult to follow, all the
more reason why they should engage
the attention of the strategists Of the
United Nations.
In April, 1909, Napoleon was at war
with Austria. He won in the East
the battles of Eckmuhl, Ratisbon,
Ebelsberg, Aspern, Essling and Wag-
ram. The peace of Vienna, dated
October IA, gave him supremacy on
the continent except in Portugal,
where Sir Arthur wellesley, subse-
quently better known as the Duke OF
wellington, awaited him. French
troops to the number of 10000 were
sent through Spain to drive the
British into the sea. Massena was

President Roosevelt's announce
ment that this Government, once the
war has been won, will insist upon
the surrender Of the war criminals"
to the United Nations for appropriate
punishment seems intended to serve
two principal purposes. One is to
discourage, II possible, the perpetra-
ton Of further atrocities, and the
other is to assure the victims Of
modern barbarism that they have not
been forgotten.
The statement by the President,
and the parallel announcement from
London, are notably restrained. Mr..
Roosevelt emphasizes that "it is not
the intention Of this Government or
OF the governments associated with
us to resort to mass reprisals." The
number OF persons eventually found
guilty, he added, undoubtedly will be

leave that to the Judgment Of his
questioners.
This attitude, no doubt, is designed
to Offset the effect Of repeated warn
ings to the German people from their
leaders that they can expect the most
ruthless treatment II the Nazis lose
the war. In effect, the President and
the British government have told the
people Of Germany that they can
expect decent treatment when peace
comes, and this may be accepted as
a correct statement so far as Britain
and the United States are concerned.
But, in all candor, it should be
recognized that some of the United
Nations may be less charitably dis
posed toward our enemies. Britain
and the United States have not ex-
perienced the mass executions that
have been perpetrated on the French,
the Dutch, the Norwegians, the Poles
and the Russians. We have been
touched but lightly by the kind Of
war that has produced a Lidice, the
brutal attempt to exterminate the
Polish people, the senseless murder
Of innocent hostages. How far is it
appropriate for us to go in vouch-
saf1ng the postwar attitude of the
victims of these outrages? There is
no disposition to question either the
wisdom or the humanitarianism of
the Presidents view of this matter.
But we might avoid trouble in the
future by understanding now that all
of our Allies may not see eye to eye
with us on this question.
