Pays SIS Weekly Benefits
Costs Only Sl2 Yeor-Down Payment $3.50
Other Sickness and Accident Benefits Included

Newark, n. 1.-THE 55-year-oId
North American Accident Insurance
Company announces new policy
that paws SIS a week for stated sick
ness and accidents, both. Plus an
additional S25 a week for any acci-
dent requiring hospital care. Yet the
total cost is only Sl2 a year. The
purpose of this new Double Duty
Limited Policy is to bring sickness
and accident protection within the
reach of men and women who do not
have large savings with which to
meet sudden doctor or hospital bills,
or lost income.
This new plan also has a double
indemnity feature covering travel
accidents. AS policyholder you re-
ceive $50 a week if disabled by an
accident in a bus, taxicab, street car,
train, etc, and SIS a week if such
accident requires hospital care. There
is another new special clause that
pays cash for doctor bills covering
everything from a cut finger. Thus
all accidents are provided for. In
case of death, by any accident, the
policy pays one thousand dollars cash
to your family. Two thousand dollars
if the accident occurs in a bus, etc.
In addition, it covers a great many
common sicknesses such as pneu-
monia, cancer, appendicitis, etc, pay

school Of war goes back to
Clausewitz-a century and half
back, in an age without tanks
and planes. Hitler, again in his
last speech. mentioned his Ger
man master.
But one can 60 back Is centu-
ries to the eminent Chinese gen.
eral, Sun Tzu, who, in an 8,o0o.-
word essay called THE Art OF
War" laid down first principles
that would hardly be denied in
any progressive war college today.
Sun TZu knew, for instance,
that it was better to surround
an army than destroy 1t; that
deception - keeping the enemy
guessing - is first principle;
that psychological warfare must
not be neglected; that the con-
centration of the enemy must
at all costs be prevented; and
that fifth columns could be used
to undermine the enemy's fight
ing strength.
Maisky's Views Analysed.
Anybody can understand Sun
Tzu, and anybody can under
stand Mr.. Maisky, the Soviet
Ambassador, who had a few
measured words to say in London
last Wednesday. Mr.. Maisky
thinks that 1912 and not 1943 is
the year. The place Is Russia,
the time is now, and the strategy
is not to let the enemy concen-
trate, but strike him with all we
have in the place he least expects
it, while he is tied up in the
place where he is compelled to
be.
Mr.. Maisky points out that
we know the situation now, the
initiative now is ours, and that
may not be true a year from now.
And, in his mind, that fact is
more important than whether
we will have more tanks and
planes in l943.
Now, what is the psychological
strategy of the enemy? Japan
Is trying to perslade us that she
can strike in four points: Aus
tralia, India, the Philippines and
Siberia. Germany is trying to
persuade us that she may strike
at the British Isles, in Northern
Africa, and through Turkey and
Syria at the Near East. And
both are trying to create the
impression: 1t is against your
interests to help the Russians;
they are BolsheviSts.
The net effect of all this Is
that they hope we will either
concentrate our efforts on de-
Tending our own shores and the
British Isles. or diffuse them in
an attempt to defend the whole
globe, with the Axis picking the
places.
Now, again, on this subject,

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
At headquarters Of the United
Nations strategy board in the
marble building which used to
house the United States Public
Health Service, there is complete
confidence that in the forthcom-
ing struggle in the Near East the
American-British forces will give
the Nazis a good run for their
money.
This strategy board is COM
posed OF the highest ranking
Army, Navy and Air Force officers
representing the United States
and Britain as we'll as most of
the other nations fighting op our
side. This board, perhaps the
best informed body of men among
the Allies since it receives almost
hourly reports from battlefields
all over the world, includes Harry
L. Hopkins. who is in virtual
charge of disposal abroad Of
products of American war manu-
facturers.
The distribution of all Allied
war materials, especially planes,
tanks and artillery, is decided on
in these councils in accordance
with latest available reports as to
where the enemy's next blows
are likely to fall. The decisions
are, of course, submitted to Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Min
lister Churchill, who have final
say in these matters.
Leaders Are "Amphibians."
The general outline of the
policies Of the leaders Of the
British Empire and the United
States Is fairly well known to
those who make strategic deci-
sions and decide on the distribu-
ton of materials coming from the
American and British arsenals.
Seldom Is there any conflict Of
opinion between the military men
and the civilian chiefs, who have
been nicknamed "amphibians,"
since both Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr..
Churchill are reputed to be as
conversant with military matters
as professional soldiers and SAIL
ors.
Mr.. Churchill is a graduate OF
Sandhurst - the British West
Point-and Is a specialist on land
operations. Mr.. Roosevelt has no
special naval training, but has
been a keen student of naval STRAIT
egy and naval construction for
many years. Hence, since strategy
is fundamentally matter Of
common sense and clear thinking,
the President feels he can ap-
proach naval questions with the
same ease as those who have
spent a lifetime at sea and in
naval establishments on land.
When admirals and generals

Run for Money in Near East

yield to the decisions Of the two
civilian leaders they feel their
yielding justified, since besides
military knowledge Mr.. Roose-
welt and Mr.. Churchill have the
political background which mill
tary men lack.
While Allied preparations to
meet the Axis onslaught In the
Eastern Mediterranean are kept
secret, enough is known to pre-
dict that there will not be another
Libyan retreat this spring. The
British have sent the best of their
fighting men to that area. Despite
enormous difficulties, due to the
fact that transportation through
Gibraltar Straits to the Eastern
Mediterranean has come practi-
cally to a standstill, reinforce
ments have been sent in greater
numbers than any one expected.
At the same time, substantial
quantities of war materials, par
ticularly bombers and pursuit
planes, tanks, and anti-aircraft
artillery, have reached the Near
East from both Britain and the
United States.
British Output Satisfactory.
British production the last nine
months has been more than sat-
isfactory. 1t is true that during
1941 England received only 1000
planes from this country. But
British aircraft manufacturer
not only have produced enough
to send Russia important num-
bers of planes, but also to ship
to the Near Eastern front every
thing the high command re-
Quired.
Repair shops and small fac
tories have been established in
Africa. where major repairs can
be made and some war supplies
can be manufactured. provided
necessary raw materials are OBJ
tanned.
While the United Nations high
command does not eXude opti-
mism over the forthcoming cam
paign in the Eastern Mediter-
ranean, it is fully confident that
Hitler will have the hardest task
he has encountered yet in that
region when the all-out cam
paign begins in the next few
weeks.
1t is realized here that the
Germans have been preparing
many months for this vital strug-
gle, the stake OF which Is oil.
Nobody here undertakes the
Nazis; quite the contrary. But
it is felt that unless the ap-
praisal of Axis strength has
been completely misjudged. the
chances of stopping the Nazi
drive are about $3.50.
Evening star., 1942-03-30


Dental inconsistency, which clearly
diminishes our national strength,
and resistance to acts Of the Ma
tons head, whom the desire Is
strong to support. 1t is unfortunate
that, while plenty Of Mr.. Roose-
velt's subordinates privately deplore
his attitude. publicly they are unani-
mously acquiescent. 1t is also un-
fortunate that the more ardent Of
his aides should think it necessary
to meet every dissent on domestic
policy with the silly charge that
it is either inspired by the enemy
or gives him aid and comfort.
Take, for example, the question
Of imitation. No one has warned
more solemnly of the ruinous con-
sequences of imitation than the
President. He first pointed to this
national danger in January. 1941,
when he urged that every non-
defense expenditure be pared to
the bone" Since then he has re-
peated the warning a humber of
times, and 1t has been echoed by
Mr.. Morgenthau, Mr.. Eccles, Mr..
Henderson and others In his admin
istration. Practically no one dis
agrees about the danger. and the
Presidents warnings were indorsed
almost unanimously.
Act Called Imitation StimuIant.
Yet he has taken not a single
firm step to carry out his own
recommendations. On the contrary,
by yielding to farm and labor lobby
insistence that there be no regu-
lation Of wages or farm prices,
after more than q years delay he
accepted an alleged price-control
bill, with which no clear-headed
man, including his own price ad-
ministrator. thinks prices can be
controlled. The act Is really an
invitation to imitation. When to this
Is added that the President, so far
from following through his recon-
mendation TO "cut to the bone" all
non-war expenses, Is resisting the
Byrd committees program. which
his own Secretary Of the Treasury
approved, the conflict between his
words and his deeds is complete.
1t is late to act wisely now but not
too late. During the last year of
inaction, industrial prices have
gone up 19 per cent; farm prices
Al per cent; foodStuffs As per cent.
That. as Mr.. Ralph Robey points
out. is not q threat of imitation; it
Is imitation. If Mr.. Roosevelt should
move now-or permit Congress to
move-to put ceiling over profits
and wages; to cut $4,000 ,000, 900 of
non-essential expenses, then, reduce
the price Of war materials, as well
as increase production, by extending
the 40-hour-a-week law to 48 hours
If these things are done and 4
sounder tax bill than the one we
have is passed, imitation can be
checked. If they are not done, there
Is nothing much to stop the upward

something to say. Sir Halford
Mackinder, who in a remarkable
little book, published in 1919,
predicted the whole stratery Of
this war to a "t."
Sir Halford, like the German
geo-politician, Haushofer. who
unfortunately learned q lot from
the scholarly British geographer,
foresaw the decline of sea-power
as a striking force, the rise Of
air-power in its place, and the
relative advantage for air-power
of central land positions on vast
land areas.
Also, like the German geo
politicians, he thought in global
terms and recognized that Eu-
rope, Asia and Africa were not
three continents" but the con-
tinent. all contiguous by land.
and containing two-thirds of
the earth's surface. and seven
eighths of humanity.
In Sir Halford's global view
and Haushofer's-all the rest of
the world, including the Amer
icas. was merely so many islands
of the coasts of the great con-
tinent.
He argued that if any one
could drive all other armies of
the great continent, the island
ers" would have hard time
climbing on 1t and defeating
them. And he put the center
of this continent, the strategic
hub of the world, in Russia
around the Black Sea, at the
junction between Europe. Asia
and Africa.
Sir Halford was not thinking
about Bolshevism. He was think
ing about geography and the
strategy Of war.
Oil Is Prime Need.
Today he Is more right than he
was then. For technical matters
also make this area the hub of
the world. In this area are the
oil supplies for the Germans, the
Russians and partly for the
British. 1t is not only that the
Germans need oil, whether from
Iran or Baku. If the Russians
lose Baku. their mechanical
armies stand still and Russia
can only fight on like the Yugo-
slavs.
So Hitler must try to get Baku
this spring and summer. All other
things are less important. Other
sources of oil are less important.
For he cannot win this war II he
has a huge mech hanized Russian
army fighting him on his flanks
even II he gets oil from other
Near Eastern sources. All the
guesswork where the Axis will
strike is playing Hitlers game,
for we know where he must
strike, unless he has taken leave
of his general staff's wits. So We
must prepare against it.
Helping Russia is one way But
we must also keep Hitler from
concentrating his forces. He
knows he must concentrate all his
power for the smash against
Russia and the Caucasus. And
that Is precisely what We
shouldn't let him do. If he can
not concentrate. Mr.. Maisky Is
right: We shall win the war this
year. 1t won't necessarily be over.
but it will be won. And 1t will be
won all over the world-in Asia
and in the Pacific.
There are times when fewer
tanks and fewer planes can ac-
complish what treble their num-
ber cannot do in another moment.
