The Great Game of Politics
In This Dark Hour 1t Is Well to Remember
Thot Our Physical Weight Will Win War in End

to put out Of their minds all thought
Of politics and not enough example
being set along that line by those
who do the calling.
In this dark hour for the United
Nations-and 1t Is a dark hour
there is one great comforting Gen.
tral fact which, If constantly kept
in mind, will give us the courage to
stand the further adversities and
endure the greater hardships which
undoubtedly are coming. Briefly, 1t
Is this-if England stands and If we
can keep the Atlantic lanes open,
nothing can prevent our ultimate
and complete triumph.
U. s. Has Just Begun.
The reason is clear, Germany.
strong as she still is, obviously can
get no stronger. Extended to the
utmost after four years OF war, she
cannot now look forward to growing
stronger. She has suffered i'm
mense losses In her Russian cam
paign and, despite her victories, the
German Army in men and equip
ment Is not as strong as when the
war started. 1t can get no stronger.
On the other hand, the British,
caught unprepared in 1889 and los
ing most Of their equipment at
Dunkerque, are now stronger than
ever and getting more so. AS for
the United States, with far greater
resources and far more manpower
than Germany, we have just begun
to develop militarily. With every
day we gain in strength and In ex-
perience. In the end, our physical
weight will insure the crushing Of
Hitler on the Continent Of Europe.
Take the Long View.
Until that time the Japanese will
be secondary. The triumphant kill
will be made over there. When Is
a question no man can answer, but
the logic Of the eventual victory is
irrefutable. The Germany people,
unlike the American people. cannot
look forward to getting stronger day
by day. At best they may main
tain their present strength. but
eventually they will be overtaken,
passed and beaten.
That Is the long view, but 1t is
the sound view Neither present
nor future reverses should detract
from it. This Is the view Winston
Churchill expressed in Washington.
This is the view above all others
that our propagandists should con-
stantly press upon our enemies. just
as 1t serves to buttress our con-
stantly press upon our enemies.
Despite their victories in Egypt
and In Russia, before long they
will sense the inevitable and in
exorable end. 1t is conceivable that
we might, through our own incom-
petence, defeat ourselves. Barring
that, 1t is not conceivable that our
enemies should do so.

Nations forces will be to devise
high strategy, the appointment
Of Admiral Leahy has particular
significance. His clear vision
and cool, dispassionate Judgment
OF military and international po-
litical situations will be Of great
assistance to President Roose-
welt.
Foresaw Coming War.
The former Ambassador to
Vichy did not obtain his reputa-
ton through wishful thinking.
While he was chief of naval op-
erations the Panay incident oc-
CURED. Admiral Leahy saw the
writing on the wall at that time.
He foresaw the forthcoming war,
knew that Japan would play an
important role and expected that
we would necessarily be drawn In.
Realizing that at that time
Japan had not completed her
aerial and military preparations
and that her naval program was
still In the making, Admiral
Leahy proposed that we cut short
all Japan's expansionist tend
encies. He advocated taking ad-
vantage of the wanton sinking
OF the American gunboat near
Marking and forcing showdown
with Toxic militarists by declar-
ing a blockade of the Japanese
islands. This would have forced
Japan either to stop her war in
China and retire into her shell
or attack the United States feet
at a time when we had decisive
superiority and no other front
to think about.
The effect Of such action, as
Admiral Leahy visualized 1t,

Py the Associated Press.
AKRON, Ohio, July lo.-Develop.
'ment Of a tubeless pneumatic tire
for heavy vehicle use was announced
here today by John L. Collyer,
president Of the B. r. Goodrich Co.
Utilizing specially designed
locking member which retains the
air in the casing, the new tire
effects an important saving in rub
ber by dispensing with the ordi-
narily required inner tubes and
flaps.
While the amount OF rubber
saved by the new development
varies, depending upon the size Of
the tire, Mr.. Collyer estimated that
the minimum was approximately 7
per cent of the rubber content Of the
conventional casing, tube and flap
combined.
Mr.. Collyer said that already sub
stantial test results obtained by this
company demonstrate the useful
ness of the tire and It's ability TO
perform under all sorts Of dificult
road conditions Further tests un-
der other auspices, he said, now are
being conducted.
In the event the tire Is cut or
otherwise becomes debated. It was
explained, time can be saved in re-
pairs, as there is no inner tlbe to
be patched or replaced.
The announcement emphasized
that the tubeless tire, described a.
the goal o. tire engineers for half
century, Is strictly heavy vehi.
Gle device at this stage. It's possible
ultimate application to conventional
passenger cars was not even hanted.

BY MAI. GEORGE FIELDING

There Is a distinct possibility
that the immediate outcome OF
the operations in Egypt may de-
pend on the ability of the Axis
high command to get a large
convoy across the Mediterranean
Sea. Such a convoy Is reported
assembling in the Straits Of Mes
sina. and it is rumored that its
destination is Tobruk.
The need is desperate, and the
Axis undoubtedly will make cor
respondingW desperate efforts to
get the convoy through. 1t seems
likely that the resistance will be
just as desperate.
To begin with, Axis aircraft
are stepping up their offensive
against Malta once more. AS long
as British reconnaissance aircraft
can operate from Malta, they
can not only keep track Of any
convoy coming out Of the Straits
of Messina. but they can bring
bombers and submarines to the
right positions to attack it. Hence,
during the passage of the convoy
the scale Of bombing attack on
Malta must be so heavy and con-
tinuous as to prevent Allied air.
craft from operating at all.
This will require a very con-
siderable number of Axis planes
to be kept constantly in action,
Evening star., 1942-07-10

to account for the change. There
are the British reverses in Libya
and the critical situation in Egypt.
There Is the fall Of Sevastopol and
the German successes all along the
Russian front. There are the steady
advances Of the Japanese In China
and their occupation Of the Aleutian
Islands. And, finally, there Is the
fact that after six months Of enemy
submarine activity along the At
lantic Coast there were more sink
ings in June than in any preceding
month, showing that In the Battle OF
the Atlantic We are still losing and
not gaining.
It IL indeed dark picture and
its depressing effect Is not dimin-
ished by the conviction OF those
in best position to Judge that the
news will be worse before it be-
comes better. Between now and
Christmas the War Department be-
lief is that the United Nations are
due for some hard blows. Talk Of
second front" in the immediate
future is not sensible and talk, such
as that OF the valorous Harry Hop
kins, Of q third and a fourth front,
Is just plain silly. Actually the out
look Is ugly. Every informed person
knows this to be true and 1t Is. a
disservce to the people to delude
them with bombastic prophecies Of
the speedy crushing OF our foes. A
long, hard, bloody war stretches
ahead. The sooner that seeps
through to the popular mind, the
better.
Reason to Be Given.
There is no Justification for being
light and buoyant about this busi-
ness. There is every reason for the
people to be in grim mood. There
are too many people here enjoying
this war and conditions are much
too grave to make that tolerable.
1t would seem that this thought
might occur to some OF our habitu-
ally blithe public omcials. There
Is too much calling on the people

Appointment Of Leohy Supports Runors

would possibly have been to set
back the Nazi aggression for sew
eral years and might conceivably
have prevented World War II al
together. The democratic ma
tions at that time were talking
loudly and doing little.
Political considerations pre-
vented President Roosevelt from
taking the necessary steps, but he
was said to have been strongly
in favor Of Admiral Leahy's So
luton OF hitting the Japanese
and showing the robber powers
that one democracy at least was
not willing to take it" lying
down. He ordered strong note
sent to Toxic after the Panay
incident, but he was finally per-
suaded to accept compromise,
which was considered satisfac-
tory at that time.
Admiral Leahy's fears have
now unfortunately materialized.
But those who have worked with
him and President Roosevelt,
has known him we'll since the
last war, when he was Assistant
Secretary of the Navy-realize
that 1t would be difficult to find
a more capable adviser and exec
utive officer than the former
chief of naval operations.
Leahy Is Ideal Man.
If Mr.. Roosevelt decides that
for successful prosecution Of the
war 1t Is advisa Bile for him to
take over coordination OF United
Nations forces and to plan in
Washington the grand strategy

reinforcement landed as far
forward as possible so that they
can move quickly up to Rom
mers support.
The passage itself will present
considerable hazards. The Brit
ish submarines will be out in
force; Almiral Sir Henry Har-
wood, the conqueror of the Graf
Spec, is the British commander
in chief In the Eastern Medi-
terranean, and he is no man to
shrink from risks when risks
must be taken.
He not only will have every
submarine he possesses patrol
ling the route of that convoy or
lying in wait for 1t outside its
port OF entry, but one can be Ger
tain that he will be out himself
with every fighting ship he can
scrape together to attack the
convoy with gun and torpedo.
This means that part Of the re-
sponsibilty for protecting the
convoy must fall on the Italian
Navy, whose spirit and fighting
qualities so far have left much
to be desired.
Unloading viii Be Difficult.
If Tobruk is the convoy's desti-
nation, conditions in that harbor
present another hazard. The har-
Dor is full Of sunken ships, which
are menaces to navigation. The
unloading OF troops, equipment
and supplies in Tobruk harbor,
even by the rough and ready
methods which the Germans use
in such circumstances, Is a task
of great difficulty and danger
when hostile bombers are over
head.
The Germans will have to find
means Of giving Tobruk almost
perfect fighter cover and a high
scale OF anti-aircraft protection.
Finally, the men and material
which do get ashore must move
forward along the coastal road
under intensive bombardment to
Rommel's position at Alamein.
This is a case in which the Axis
cannot have the advantage OF
surprise. Rommel's necessities
are known, and the assembling OF
the convoy to relieve him is
known.
The attempt has to be made
and Cairo is just as we'll aware OF
that fact as Rommel himself.
The convoy may get through In
whole or in part, but 1t seems
very unlikely that 1t will get
through intact, and the possibili-
ties Of delay or even Of its COM
plete destruction are consider
able.
If 1t does not arrive in suffi-
cient force, or If 1t does not ar
rive in time, it will be useless.
The developments of the next
few days in the central and east
ern Mediterranean seem likely to
be of great significance.
1t is quite possible that on the
ability of the Axis to move this
one convoy from Messina to To-
bruk while Rommel still holds on
at Alamein may depend the sue
cess or failure Of major part Of
the German strategic plan for
lo42.

stage whispers from Irving Berlin's

ing in the Central Park Zoo.
But you can't hear the sirens.
There is much speculation in New
York as to just what the sirens are.
Some say the alert" signals are
sounded by eight midgets beating
massive chocolate pies with powder
puffs. Others say that investiga-
ton has revealed that the sounds
come from q flea being given the
third-degree by q brace OF police
dogs. Still others claim that the
city's raid alarm Is sounded by 100
trained kittens patting their paws
together and meowing, peas por-
ridge hot, peas porridge cold, peas
porridge in the pot, nine days old"
SO far, the results Of the silent
sirens have been satisfactory. This
is perhaps due to the fact that the
newspapers and radios have pro-
vided the citizenry with an advance
warning of "a hours. Every one has
known day ahead Just when the
silent sirens would sound and at
what time he was expected to get
