Gus at this time. However. con-
sidering the status of the German
armies in the Russian and North
African campaigns. it is not UNI
reasonable TO predict that before
very long Hitler will be forced to
make some diversionary move.
The strategic plan followed by
Germany the last several months
was based on a giant pincers-the
northern prong driving through
the Caucasus and the southern
prong pushing through Egypt
with the two columns scheduled
TO meet in the rich Mosul-kirkuk
oil area of Iraq.
Such a plan would have done
more than open wide the doors
TO the Near East oil fields-and
eventually 10 the Axis major OBJ

would have closed tight the Allied

Turkey on Spot

Moreover, these drives would
have surrounded Turkey, leaving
her with little choice but "collabo-
ration" and in an extremely diff
ficult position to defend her indie
pendence successfully.
However, because of the decisive
blows struck in Russia and Egypt
have definitely blocked
these interlocking campaigns-the
only other possible route by which
the Germans could reach their
goal and bypass Turkey is by
way of Syria.
This would be particularly diff
ficult. as Germany has neither war
nor transport planes in sufficient
numbers 10 make such an attack.
In consequence, there is grow
ing conviction that an invasion of
the Ottoman country-the only
feasible land gateway from the
continent of the Near EaSt-iS

given transit rights for Axis troops
(via Bulgaria) as well as water
transit rights from the Mediter-
ranean into the Black Sea.

child over u strenuous exercise"
equal 10 more than 10 miles of
walking each day.
This was the answer Saturday
OF school health authorities to the
proposal of Col. William A. Canoe
of the University of Michigan mill

Canoe advocated daily walking
exercise for school children over
II. gradually accelerated to 10
miles per day per person.
Athletic activities in Detroit's
schools already embrace ''endur-
ance activities" which are to be
stepped up under the forthcoming
physical fitness program. Blanch-
ard said.
He pointed out that swimming
and other activities in urban
schools arc more strenuous than
walking and emphasized that gym
nasium and playground work" are
far safer for children than cross
town walking.
Colonel Canoe cited walking as
a developer of arms and legs, as
well as a means OF improving
posture and chest, and deplored
the attitude of parents who re-
fuse 10 let their children be de-
veloped physically on the grounds
that such programs usurp chill

Turks Fully Awake

| That such an invasion is eX-
tpected was intimated by President
iIsmet Inonu last Sunday when he
told the Turkish Parliament. at
the opening of its winter session,
that the nation was nearer to war
now than at any time since the
world conflict started, and that
the government was finding il
more and more difficult TO adhere
TO its policy of neutrality. He
added that "a policy based on
domination of the world by one
nation Is impossible"
The presidents sober warning
to his people of the existing dam
ger, and his exhortation 10 keep
the armed forces in readiness"
served also as a public notification
to Hitler that the Turks were
fully awake TO the situation and
would be prepared for any eventu-
atty.
Turkey is the most powerful of
the remaining neutralS within
Gernany'S potential net.
The BosporuS and the Darda-
nelles gives Turkey complete con-
troll of the exit from the Black
Sea to the Mediterranean and the
outside world. Hitler'S ambassa-
dor TO Turkey, on several occa-
sionS. has both requested and
demanded permission to pass
German troops and ships through
Turkish territory and waters to
the Near East, but always with
out success.

I'D Ruther Be Riqht'
Reaction Of British Press to WiIIkie Speech
Shows New Maturity in AneIo-U. S. Relations

If our war can't be talked about,
1t can't be fought. I will oppose the
Emily Post conception of our strug-
gle to the death.
If we are going to make not in
juring peoples feelings part Of our
strategy, then we must extend the
principle to Indian feelings, and to
Chinese feelings, as well as to Eng
lish feelings; and I am very tired of
those voices which describe the war
as global, when they want 1t to be
global, and non-global when it suits
their convenience for 1t to be non
global
New Maturity Reached.
If We are concerned about English
American relations, let us ask our
selves frankly what the effect will
be on those relations if India is lost.
One who raises that question now,
while 1t is still possible to rouse the
Indians from their sullenness and
apathy, is, in the highest sense, a
friend of better British American
relations. He is willing to go to
some trouble about them, which is
rather more than can be said about
those who pursue the brittle policy
of not mentioning it.
Actually there is a new manliness
and maturity in British American
relations, precisely because of Mr..
Wilkes speech, and the self-re-
specting but friendly British press
reaction. The whole incident is on
a much higher level than it's critics.
We are wiggling our way out of
the silly season of the wars infancy.
Our own State Department has had
to mention the word india" di-
rectly because of Mr.. WILKES talk.
True, it has not said anything i'm
portant about India or even COM
prehensible, but it has at least
used the word.
In this improved atmosphere, it
is possible and necessary to say that
no Englishman now alive has had
anything to do with the acquisition
of India by England; that no Eng
lishman now alive is responsible for
the last $50 years; that it is asking
a great thing of any regime to ter
inmate a long national story during
its own brief chapter.
Very well. let us pay our Allies the
compliment of asking great things
OF them. That is better than the
! insult of sparing their feelings.

Gen. Douglas Macarthur is
spectacular man; probably more
spectacular than he means to
be. Whether he leads his troops
in battle, inspects fortified po-
sitions or attempts to dispel no.
tions back home that he enter
tains political ambitions, he is
headline news.
Ever since he arrived in Aus
tralia Gen. Macarthur has been
suspected of harboring presiden-
tial ambitions. The political men
who thought he held such ambi-
tions probably got their idea from
Gen. MacArthur's blunt talk. On
his arrival in Australia from the
Philippines he said that no gen.
eral, regardless of how good he
was, could achieve victories with
out the necessary men and arms.
Later he said his forces we're not
receiving the required support
from the States.
Finally-last Wednesday-Gen.
Macarthur said he was a soldier
and when the time comes for him
to change his uniform for civilian
clothes he will seek no Office of
any kind.
There are many persons in
Washington, and probably in
other sections of the country, who
are trying to read between the
lines of Gen. MacArthur's state
ment. 1t is said in some quarters,
for instance, that while he de-
clared he desires no public Office
he did not say he would not ac-
cept one if it were offered.
100 Per Cent Soldier.
Gen. MscArthur's personality
has always been a subject Of hot
debate and discussions ranging
from high praise to villifying at
tacks. Those very close to him,
or those who would like to use
him as figurehead for the fur
therance of their own interests,
describe him as the greatest gen.
eral and organizer of modern
times. Others say he is the best
publicity seeker the Army has
ever had.
Between the Macarthur fans"
and the Macarthur detractors
are the men who take a sane and
unbiased view of the controversy.
They are mostly professional men
who have known the general we'll
for many years-men who have
worked with him. While not
comparing him to Napoleon or
to Gen. Erich Won Lundendorff,
these professionals declare Gen.
Macarthur is a good and sound
general who has the great quality
of being able to inspire his men.
But these same men are con-
vinced that even If he had not
come out with the fiat statement
that ne desires no public Office
after the war, he has never given
any serious thought to politics.
Unquestionably he is 100 per cent
a soldier whose only interest is
to win battles.
Gen. Macarthur realizes that
