Great Allied Drive
 In Prospect For 1943
President Tells How African Invasion Was Planned
 l943 Plans Will Be FOllOw-Up

i, for delaying 8 frontal attack on the western coast of Europe. MT. Roose- welt said that. Churchill had most of the details when he went to Mos- COW.
 In July, when American and Brit working on detailed plans for the ish military and naval leaders were invasion of Africa, the President said people were beginning to talk about second front when actually 8 second front had been decided on by the two governments.
 After the date for the invasion was set, MT. Roosevelt said he and Churchill had to sit quietly and take 1t on the chin while outsiders de- manded action. At first the rresi- dent used the phrase ignorant out siders," but later asked that this be changed because he did not mean it in a derogatory way. He said he referred to the ignorance of all out siders when 1t comes to detailed military matters involving facts of which no outsider can be cognizant.
 The president outlined in as much detail as military security would permit the planning that goes into a second front. In the case of each proposed invasion, he said, questions of manpower, supply and transpor- tation had to be considered. It was consideration of such matters that led to the change in plane for ar invasion of the Channel coast.
 Noting that it took four months of intensive preparation to get the African campaign started, MT. Roosevelt explained that he and the British Prime Minister could not walk into 8 department store and simply buy a second front. He said he had found that second fronts were tailor-made, custom built; that they had to be taken to expert tailors who couldn't finish the job for several months.
 Most people are just discovering this fact, he said. adding that it was pretty good rule to remem- bre in any war.
 He admitted the possibility of starting campaigns without such intensive planning and preparation and said they might work in rare instances and with extraordinarily good luck. The fighting United Ma tions, he added, planned where hundreds of thousands of lives were involved and consequently they sought reasonable chances of suc- cess.
 Decisions also had to be made, he said, on the maintenance of other military objectiyes, this in- yolving military application of the old adage about robbing Peter to pay Paul.. Military objectives all over the world can not be con- ducted at the top speed which might be desired, he said.
 Telling of his own personal per- formance in the preparations for the African drive, MT. Roosevelt said that about three weeks before the attack was made he wrote and signed the letters to the heads of the countries to be affected. Several days later he transcribed the French language speech in which he told the French people of the invasion last Saturday night via short wave.
 The secret of the transcription at the time 1t was made was shared by the president, his chief of staff, Admiral William D. Leahy: his naval aide, Capt. John L. McCrea, and two recording technicianS who super vised the address which was trans scribed in the White House cabinet room.

Churchill Says Second
 Front In Europe Due
Undertaking Requires Time," He Tells Commons;
 Battle of Egypt Acclaimed Victory

las "a victory of tn first order Tn which Nazi Field Marshal Erwin Rommel had suffered mortal losses. .......
 Turning to the question of prep arations for a second front on the continent of Europe, the prime minister said:
 "All this is proceeding, but 1t takes time. But should the enemy become demoralized careful prep arations would not be needed"
 Churchill, addressing parliament in its closing session, revealed that last June he had given the Russian government a written document making it clear that Britain was preparing to make a landing on the continent in 1942 but could not promise to do so.
 The prime minister asserted that "Germanys effort aganist Russia has been definitely affected in the past trimester, presumably three months) while her U-boat activities in the Mediterranean have been considerably reduced"
 Tt might have been relief to our feelings" Churchill observed, If we had delivered a premature attack across the channel, if we had had at least dozen Dieppes on one day and couple of Dunkirks week or two later, but disaster of that character would have been of no help to Russia. It would have been of the greatest disservice."
 One objective of the North Afri- can campaign, he reminded his lis- teners, was to expose "the belly of the Axis, and especially Italy, to heavy attacks"
 The African campaign so far, he said, has been an extremely effect i've means of drawing a portion of the enemy's strength and wrath away from Russia upon ourselves" :"
