America Safe for Differences, in
cooperation with the chaplains Of

He said diabolical forces such as

perspective, as is the aim Of the
chaplains. they will carry back into

artillery of nearly 8 to 5. The Brit
ish had 100000 men and the Ger
mans had $4,000 and the italians
numbered about 10000. The British
superiority in men was 10 to g.
Despite this superiority, the Brit
ish commander chose defensive
role and the London government
agreed with him. AS to the decision
to surrender Tobruk, the Prime
Minister says this was unexpected
by the higher command in the Mid
die East and by the professional
military advisers of the Prime Min
ister in London.
It Is, of course, too soon to know
the details of what happened in
Libya but the Prime Minister'S ad-
dress reveals that the British de-
cided on a defensive strategy even
when they had superiority in men
and weapons-a picture OF war man
agement not calculated to inspire
the military men of other parts OF
the world who believe that the best
! defense is an offensive and that the

The Great Game of Politics
Elmer Davis Seen Beset by Many Difficulties;
But Is Expected to Improve information Setup

governmental spokesmen on impor-
tant matters.
Confusion on Initiation.
An example of the latter is the
present confusion on the subject OF
imitation. One group insists that the
inf1ationary threat is real and the
danger great. If wages and food
prices are not stabilized and some
way, through taxes, found to drain
off the vast purchasing power which
the war billions have put in the
hands OF the lower income class,
price ceilings will not hold and the
cost of living will spiral uncon-
trollably upward, to the ruin of us
all. Another element says that the
initiation threat is nothing to be
alarmed about; that there is no
danger of living costs getting out
of control; that there Is no neces-
Sity to regulate wages and that the
accumulation of money by the
masses is an economic asset. This
is typical of the kind of informa-
tion spread from Washington. An
other illustration is the conflict on
governmental economy. One set
of Government officials has indorsed
the Byrd Committee program while
another set is cheering the radical
press campaign to make Senator
Byrd appear a villain and those
who support him "wreckers"
Restricted in some ways, never
theless, Mr.. Davis undoubtedly has
power enough to do these three
things-first, give us more facts
bad as well as good-that can be
relied upon; second, put an end to
conflicting statements; third, cur
tail the publicity output. An ex-
ample of the latter is the weekly
letter to graphic artists" gotten out
by the Press and Periodicals, Divi-
sion of Information, Office of
Emergency Management" The cur
rent issue is devoted to the splendid
way in which "the honey bee Is
working all out to relieve the sugar
shortage" This, it would seem,
could be spared without weakening
our war effort. 1t is further hoped
Mr.. Davis will not think the situa-
ton improved by the fact that the
publicity boys are now all calling
themselves information special
lists"
(copyrtght, 1a420
Evening star., 1942-07-03

Mr.. Davis does not miss the true
significance of its volume. What it
means, of course, is that, prior to his
selection, the whole business had
been botched The setup was bad
and it's operation worse. The lack
of authority made it impossible for
a good man like Archibald Mac
Leish to be effective, and the other
organizations were SO full of small
iealousies and rivalries that nothing
remotely resembling competent CO.
ordination was possible. The result
was that newspapers and cor
respondents, unable to get accurate
information, have been flooded with
vast quantities of boobish propa-
ganda, turned out by unqualified
amateurs, the effect of which was
irritating and the cost appalling.
The advice with which Mr.. Davis
has been deluged is ndicative-first,
of disgust with the way the war pub
licity has been managed, second,
good will toward the new director;
third, desire that he should fully
understand the things that have
caused the trouble.
Press Willing to Cooperate.
Newspaper willingness to CO.
operate with the Government Is so
great that Mr.. Davis will not have
to perform miracles to change dis
satisfaction to satisfaction. They
know the limitations of his power,
and they are not disposed to expect
too much from him. For example,
they know that the White House
statement that he Is to run the show
without interference does not quite
mean what it says. There are
catches in that statement. For one
thing, as has been pointed out, Mr..
Davis is to have no jurisdiction over
the wasteful and confused Rockefel-
Ter organization. For another, no

1t would be healthful if both these
things could be done, but one agency
has been expressly exempted and the
| other Is so much of a presidential
| pet that it might as we'll be.
Clearly, it is unreasonable to ex-
pect Mr. Davis or any one else, un-
der existing circumstances, to eff
feet salutary changes here, badly
as they are needed. 1t Is not, how
ever, unreasonable to expect him
| to remedy the three things about
which the newspapers chiefly COM

which should be made public-and

danger in the immediate reaction.
We see that in the comments on
the Near Eastern war, both in this
country and in England. There
is a defeat. The immediate reac-
ton is: Who is to blame?
Yet among the critics OF Prime
Minister Churchill are those
more responsible than he for the
decline of British power in the
last 20 years. This they forget,
washing their hands Of guilt Tor
the last setback and seeking a
scapegoat,
They raise the cry, How can
this be?" And the Prime Min
lister is asked to explain. But
the explanation requires, to be
accurate, an analysis Of full 20
wears of victory dissipated; OF
illusions about reality; OF dl-
plomacy that embraced its enc
mics and turned its back on Its
friends; of a pacifism emanat-
ing from both extremes OF So
ciety, from the right and from
the left, with a. class egotism IN
both, both permeated with
guilt complex, a subconsclous
will to relinquish their civiliza-
ton and die nobly.
America at Fault, Too.
During all this period Mr..
Churchill was solitary Cas-
sandra proclaiming the decline
to deaf or hostile ears, and one
suspects that now, when the
mess that he inherited has in
evitable results, there is a GER
tain compensatory satisfaction
in his critics having their come
back.
1t is as though a careless
house owner, having refused to
accept expert warning that his
house was i'll protected, should
call In the expert when the
house was blazing, and when
there is delay in extinguishlng
the flames shouts, Look at him!
He doesn't know his job!"
These thoughts lead me to
America, whose house was also
protected, out of the same
mentality as the English. If we
are to draw conclusions from a
series of disasters, let us draw
them for ourselves as we'll as for
the British.
Neither Britain nor America .
are military powers. In land
warfare we are inexperienced
amateurs, up against the worlds
greatest professionals. Each of
us has grated g. young army,
on an old stock, with 10Th CEN
tury mentality. The Germans
and Russians have new armies,
reorganized from top to bottom,
with new methods of warfare,
and. even more Importantly, with
new mentality of warfare.
Recently the Germans COM
nented. "If Erwin Romrnel we're
in the British Army he would
be a sargeant." That is prob
ably true, but 1t Is also true of
our Army.

cratic armies than the demo-

Auchinleck, or to the fatigue OF
the British forces, which have
been fighting losing battle for
the last three weeks, is not clear.
The news is contradictory,
though private reports seem to
indicate the WEAKNESS of the
British troops. The Axis forces,
having the initiative, choose the
points where they want to strike
and the British must rush their
forces here and there to cover
the most threatened objectives.
How many reinforcements the
British have received in the last
few days and their quality are
questions. The Free French In
Libya gave a good account of
themselves three weeks ago, but
whether the troops from Syria
are as good as the desert fighters
who opposed Field Marshal Erwin
Rommel in June remains to be
seen.
Deep Concern in Washington.
There is also an Egyptian
army, but the Government Of
King Farouk has not declared
war on the Axis. The hesitation
of the Cairo government is easy
to understand. The Egyptians
are good fighters. The army has
about $4,000 men who would have
come in very handy in the cur
rent battle. But the British were
reluctant to permit this army to
be thoroughly trained for fear
that it might become tool in the
hands of the Egyptian nation
alists.
The Egyptian army was main
tanned, therefore, as mere
parade and police force to han
die riots and mount guard before
the Kings palace. Even the few
planes the Egyptians purchased
had to be yielded to the British
in 1910, when Britain was so
short of aircraft.
No one in Washington at
tempts to disguise the deep con-
Germ with which the outcome Of
the battle for Alexandria-which
will decide the fate Of Egypt and
in all likelihood the entire Near
East-is awaited. The entire
British strategy OF this war de-
pends on whether the British can
check the Nazi advance.
Evening star., 1942-07-03

consequences of the Axis estab-
fishing itself in the Nile delta and
along the Suez Canal will be
greater for the Allies, including
Russia, than the fall of the naval
fortresses guarding the Indian
Ocean. Should this catastrophe
occur, and indications from the
front are that 1t Is not I'M
likely, the entire strategy of the
United Nations will have to be
revised.
The strategic decisions taken
by the Allies after the confer
ences between Soviet Foreign
Commissar Molotov, Prime Min
lister Churchill and President
Roosevelt were based on the as
sumption that the Red Sea artery
of communication would remain
under control OF the Allies.

The hope Is generally held that
that famous old British maxim,
Britain always wins the last
battle" will materialize IN the
present Egyptian campaign. The
loss of Egypt would mean the loss
of the whole region as far as the
Persian Gulf and the Black Sea.
Turkey, which has been willing
to take her chances with the
Allies, will be placed in position
where she may have to yield to
the Nazis' demands for free pas
sage of troops to attack the
Caucasus, 1t would be pushing
wishful thinking too far to
imagine that If Egypt falls we
will be able to offer any serious
resistance to the Axis forces in
Palestine, Syria and Iraq.
Revised Strategy Held Likely.
There is little hope that the
natives of those countries who are
still sympathetic to our cause
will be able to do much for us.
They are neither sufficiently
armed nor equipped to face the

The possibility of losing Alex

command because Alexandria is
the only remaining naval base
worthy Of that name in the East
ern Mediterranean. Light British
units can, of course, use the base
in Cyprus and for a while until
the Nazis begin to attack the
coast of Asia Minor. those at
Beirut and Haifa. But it is fully
realized in naval quarters that
these will be usable only for
short while and eventually the
whole of the Eastern Mediter-
ranean will have to be cleared.
Britain's loss of Alexandria
would be considered even
greater tragedy than the loss of
