tary opera Constantine Brown.
tions 1t is asserted that Admiral
Darlan has rendered us the
greatest service any one could
render any nation. His switch
to the Allies from former Pro-
German leanings has been the
equivalent of shift of at least
six divisions of men and an en-
tire fleet.
Dakar has been a thorn in our
side ever since the collapse of
France in 1910. It's strategic i'm
portance was fully understood
by the British and the fighting
French long before the United
States entered the war. Gen.
Charles de Gaulle ordered a weak
force to capture the port in the
fall of 1910. He relied principally
on the prestige OF his newborn
movement and the consequences
were disastrous. The British
Fighting French force was COM
PEELED to evacuate the territorial
waters of Senegal as speedily as
1t arrived.
The American general staff
even after Algeria and Morocco
were occupied. believed the cap
ture of Dakar by force would be
long and costly operation. The
French guarding the region were
we'll armed and prepared against
any emergency. The Nazis who
signed protocol with the French
authorities in North Africa did
not deliver the war material they
promised Gen. Auguste Nogues.
But they did send large supplies
of ammunition. oil and gasoline
to Pierre Boisson, pro-Vichy
governor general Of Senegal.
Admiral Darlan himself had to
act gingerly in handling Gov.
Boisson. but In the end he won
out.
Laval Dominates Petain.
Admiral Darlan's greatest
argument with the French
officials in North and West
Africa, who are still imbued with
loyalty for Marshal Petain, is
that he went to Africa with the
marshal's silent consent and that
all the speeches Petain is making
now from Vichy are dictated to
him by Pierre Laval.
There is a great amount Of
wonder IN military quarters over
the indignation which prevails
in certain circles over the accept
ance of Admiral Darlan in the
American ranks. 1t is fully
understood how the public can
express such a feeling, because
for many months it had been told
that Darlan was an enemy of the
United Nations. But those
highly placed civilians who

The Great Game Of Politics
Coming War Bond Drive Will Give Citizens
A Stoke in Government and Aid Economy

sentiment. such as does not now
exist, against waste and extrava-
gance in governmental expenditures.
Unquestionably, ownership of
Government bond gives a citizen
keener concern about the stability
OF the Government and the sound
ness Of its fiscal policies than If he
had none. The greater the owner
ship the greater the interest.
AS a stabilizing force nothing
could equal in effectiveness the plac-
ing OF these bonds in the hands of
millions who now have no direct
financial stake in the governmental
finances. Certainly, it would ener-
gize those who are now vague and
indifferent about taxation policies.
The creation of new militant
spirit in the country favorable to
governmental economy in all non
war activities would be as helpful
and healthful a thing as could
happen. No better way could be
found to drive home a realization
OF the Importance of Senator Byrd's
fight for drastic reduction in the
swollen administration payrolls-
from the White House down-and
the necessity of winning that fight.
In any event, whether one is pro-
administration or anti-administra-
ton, 1t is stupid as we'll as unpatri-
otlc not to support this Treasury
drive. The "setup" is sound and
the offering more attractive than
any other that has been made.
One of the trained statesmen at a
preliminary meeting the other day
said. These bonds ought to sell
themselves" That is true-and one
reason, apart from the ~ per cent
yield. Is their safety. If they are
not safe then nothing is safe.
This is not a question of doing the
Government a favor. 1t is not a
question of helping the administra-
ton. 1t is not a sacrifice that will
be required Of the individual. It is
an opportunity which, from what
ever angle it is viewed, no citizen
can afford to ignore.

Ride in American Tank
Thrills SuItan's Sons

RABAT, Morocco, Nov. % de-
layed Happy as kids at their first
circus, two sons Of the Sultan of
Morocco got the thrill Of their lives
today with a ride In an American
tank.
Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, 13,
and Prince Moulay Abdullah, 7, con-
fided their ambition to ride in a tank
to 1t Col. Leonard Mason, the mill
tary mayor of Rabat, who arranged
a demonstration for their benefit.
The two sons Of the temporal and
spiritual ruler of seven million
Moslems and Moroccans grinned
shyly as two French officers of the
palace guard helped them into
coveralls.
Moulay Abdullah took the first
ride around the field in a light tank.
Asked how he enjoyed 1t, the
prince replied in French:
Fine! Now I want to ride In a
big tank"
The Crown Prince. who was chew
ing gum, said after his ride that "it
feels the same as when I ride my
motorboat."

united command" but a unified
strategy. And that we are now
seeing brilliantly expressed with
near-perfect timing. Every one
is fulfilling his obligations, fully,
and on time" in the Western
Theater Of the war, and although
our military leaders have warned
us against over-optimism. it is
impossible to find any cause for
pessimism.
Furthermore. it must be ap-
parent to the German high COM
mand that no nation has Dragged
beyond its powers. Gen. B. l..
Montgomery, in Egypt, has done
what he said he would do. The
Americans who have kept their
own counsel, have done what
they were not expected to do;
and the Russians are demon
strating that Stains statement
Of some weeks ago that the Red
Army Is still equal to any land
force on this earth was accurate.
1t is also clear that in calling
for second front the Russians
were not asking to be relieved
Of any share Of the task of de-
feating Hitler. They were asking
to have a situation created in
which the defeat of Hitler by
common action is certain.
Hitles Confused.
Against the agitation for a
second front 1t was argued that
by publicizing 1t the element Of
surprise would be eliminated. For
creating the element of surprise
there are two possibilities-to be
absolutely silent. or to talk too
much. Actually, the immense
amount of talk created such q
confusion that the Montgomery
campaign. the Eisenhower cam
paign, and the T1moshenko Of
fensive all came as complete sur
prises. For Hitler became cross
eyed trying to imagine where the
next blow might fall.
The Russian front still remains
the main front of the war. On
this front the overwhelming bulk
Of Hitler's armies are tied up.
And, as the Anglo American
forces have fulfilled their obli-
cations to create substantial
diversion, the Russians have
promptly responded. This week
end battle before Stalingrad is
perhaps the decisive battle of
the war In Russia. 1t is more
important than the battle before
Moscow a year ago. and it has
been more brilliantly executed.
In the first three to four days
OF this battle, the German losses
are exceptionally heavy, sur
passing everything known up to
now. They occur at moment
when the matter of reserves is
of primary importance to Ger
many. AS far as we can see now,
two German armies are defeated.

LONDON, Ontario, Nov. as
Canadian newspapers are in the
unusual position today of almost
having to take the place OF parlia-
mentary opposition" Arthur r. Ford.
editor in chief of the London Free
Press and president of the Cana
dian Press. told the Commerce Club
of the University of Western On
tario last night.
Declaring that freedom of the
press Is one of the principles for
which the United Nations are fight
ing, Mr.. Ford said: That places
an added responsibility upon the
press in wartime. for It is difficult
for editors to draw the line be-
tween support of the governments
war effort and legitimate criticism.
There is particularly heavy
responsibility upon the press of
Canada because, unlike the situa-
ton in the United States. we have
weak parliamentary opposition.
A strong opposition is spur to anv
government and also acts as a check
on errors"
