ut is not the end, nor even the
beginning of the end, but the end
OF the beginning" - Winston
Churchill, November 10.
BY DOROTHY THOMPSON.
In the last few days the whole
political and military picture has
changed.
Since the coup in North Africa
was carried out with brilliant
speed, excellent staff work and
exemplary collaboration between
Britain and America and land,
sea and air forces, we may as
sumo that we shall soon have oc-
cupied the whole of Northern
Africa.
BY that, the military outlook
is fundamentally different from

present session minority leadership
has not been first class. No one
contends that the new Republican
gains were due to the Republican
record. It was, on the whole, poor
record, largely lost sight of by the
voters in their resentment over
administration sins of omission and
commission. The only way to ex-
press that resentment was by elect
ing Republicans to Congress, but
Republican leaders will be making
mistake if they assume that either
themselves or their party were in
dorsed.
The truth is that the only effective
and consistent minority leadership
in Congress has come from Senator
Byrd, Democrat, of Virginia, whose
long fight against waste, incompe-
tence, labor lobby domination,
padded payrolls and the useless
bureaucratic expansion seems at last
to have awakened a genuine popular
response.
There can be slight doubt that it
was because of administration iden-
tification with these things that the
voters turned toward the Republi-
cans, rather than because of any
thing the Republicans had done to
abolish or abate them. 1t would
appear, therefore, the part of wis
dom for the Republicans in the next
session to hew to these lines.
No Coalition Needed.
They do not need to make CO.
alition with the anti-New Deal
Democrats. All they need do is live
up to the public proclamations they
have been making and an effective
majority will be established in both
branches-a majority which can
extend, for the duration Of the war,
the 40-hour week, lessen confusion
and force replacement of the more
blatant New Deal incompetents,
whose unaccustomed authority has
gone to their heads.
And. assuredly, it can compel a
more realistic approach to The whole
taxation business, which has been
bungled-and is still being bungled.
Z From the start, two things were
clear about taxes. One was the
soundness of Senator Byrd's pro-
posal that the tax laws should be of
such character, with rates high
enough and categories broad enough,
as to require no revision for at
least three years. The other was
that inclusion Of a general retail
sales tax was inevitable. In no other
way, it is conceded, can stability be
promoted and needed revenue
raised.
Instead, the White House has
steadily blocked the sales tax pro-
posals and apparently has given
no thought to the framing of bill
that will stand up for more than

On the Record
U S. Invasion Of North Africu Forces Hitler
To Divert Troops From Importont Fields

|portunt flelos
strike in only one Of three places:
Western France, Belgium or
Holland.
Mr.. Wallace in his speech on
Sunday said that we are now
opening the Southern supply
route to Russia. That can be in
terpreted-in Berlin-to mean
that our next step may be the
conquest of Scily and the inva-
sion of the Balkans, in order to
cut through to the Black Sea
and join the Russians. So -Ber-
lin could prepare for that.
But in the same moment there
are hints from London that a
pincer movement may be in the
making-that is to say, a simul-
taneous attack through the Chan
mel ports and through the Medi-
terranean to Southern France.
So Germany may prepare for
that.
The question may be raised:
Are we not scattering our forces
in occupying so large a territory
as Northern Africa? But the con-
trary is true. BY destroying ROM
mel's army, the British have
freed their 9th Army in Africa
for other purposes. And when the
occupation of French North Afri-
ca is finished, it seems as though
Gen. Giraud will be able to build
up new French army, adding to
our forces instead of using them
up for occupation purposes.
And, Of course, the political
consequences are enormous. The
German people must be recalling
the old prophecies of the last
war: that the Americans can't
swim: that they are not a soldier
ly nation; that they are unpre-
pared; that they will come too
late-all of which slogans have
been contemptuously repeated by
Hitler.
The brilliance Of the coup, the
size of the force. and its immedi-
ate victories are even more SEN
sational than the arrival Of the
Yanks in the last war.
AS a consequence, the whole
New Order of Hitler in Europe
totters. The disintergration of his
New Order in France is tremen-
dous. We know what Giraud is
doing-although we do not know
how he managed to get from
France to Africa. We do not know
what, Darlan is up to in the Gus
tody of the Americans. Where is
that fleet that was based on
Toulon? It has not yet engaged
battle. AS for Laval, he is finished
whatever he does-and what
Frenchman wishes to nominate
himself as successor?
This political crisis will spread
for instance, to the Balkans.
Some days before our offensive
the Turkish President, Inonu,
made sensational speech stating
that the neutrality of Turkey
was menaced. And he said it
with an accent against Hitler, not
against the Allies.
AS for Italy, the Rome radio
cannot suppress Italian defeat
ism and perturbation, while the
people receive the embittering
news of the desertion Of the
italian forces by the German
in the retreat.
Hitler said in his speech, II
never will fee" So he is at
least thinking about the subject.
Just where would he nee to, one
asks? Holland, like the Kaiser?
Don't flee, Hitler. Stay right
where you are. It will take quite
q time yet, but the cops are
coming.

the Importance of the loss OF
North Africa. There Is little he
can do from now on, even If he
does concentrate . powerful air
armada in Sicily to harrass our
forces.
Axis on Defensive.
The conference Of the dicta-
tors as viewed in Washington
will decide what measures should
be taken for the defense Of
Southern Europe. The Axis In
Europe is definitely on the defen-
sive. The loss Of North Africa
had been foreseen by the Nazi
general staf1 and the answer is
that France, Italy, Yugoslavia
and Greece must be made into
powerfully fortified strongholds
to resist any Allied attempt to
break into the Reich by the
Mediterranean backdoor.
The italian troops cannot be
relied on any longer. Neither,
for that matter, can the French.
In most military quarters here
1t is believed Hitler will have to
draw from his pool in Western
Germany and rush Elite Divi-
sions-kept in reserve for an
eventual all-out attack against
Britain-to italy, Yugoslavia and
Greece to organize a line Of de-
fense as strong as the one in
Western Europe. The Berlin gen.
eral staff believes that with such
defenses manned by Nazi troops
and protected by air outposts in
Crete, Sicily, Sardinia and Cor
sica, Hitler can remain on the
defensive for a long time. In the
meanwhile, the Nazi offensive
strategy will be directed exclu-
sively at Russia.
Cut of from Middle East.
The disaster of Marshal Rom
mel's forces and the occupation
OF North Africa by the Americans
have compelled the Nazis to give
up all hope of reaching the oil
fields Of the Middle East. With
out fresh oil supplies the Ger
mans can not continue the war
for more than 18 months.
Hence, as soon as weather con-
ditions permit, they are almost
certain to renew their efforts to
get into the Caucasus and cap
ture the Baku oil fields. Such a
move has become a must" In
Nazi strategy.
For the time being the Ger
mans are fighting only sporad-
ically in the East. They are just
about to take up winter quarters.
According to military experts the
winter will see little ground
activity In Russia while the Ger
man subs and Luftwaffe do their
utmost to prevent supplies from
reaching Russia by way Of Muir
mansk.
The Allies realize that such is
the Nazi grand strategy for the
next few months and intend to
upset it. The manner in which
1t may be done is, Of course, a
military secret. But in well-in-
formed military quarters, which
have been somewhat nervous
about the outcome Of a second
front in Africa, it is said that
henceforth Hitler will meet with
numerous unexpected surprises.

This Changing World
Hitler, Put on Defensive, Must Now Build
stronghoIds in France, ltoly and Greece
BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.
Herr Hitler and his French
Charlie Mccarthy, Pierre Laval,
have rushed to discuss with II
Duce the best means of vitalizing
the italian people, who are sick
to death OF wars and Mussolini.
This Is the first time since italy
entered the war that Hitler has
condescended to make personal
appearance on Italian territory.
Most stringent precautionary
measures are reported to have
been taken by the Italian police
working under the orders Of the
Gestapo to prevent any attempt
on the life of the dictators. It is
reported that feeling is so high
among the Italian people that
any relaxation of precautionary
measures might seriously en-
danger the two totalitarian lead
ers.
In military quarters the meet
ing Of the dictators is being fol-
lowed with keen interest. It
seems obvious that the only mill
tary measure left to the Nazis is
to organize the defenses of the
northern shores Of the Mediter-
ranean to make them as impreg-
nable as possible against an Allied
attack from North Africa.
Herr Hitler and his stooges are
fully aware that Africa must now
be abandoned. The American
forces working with clock-like
precision have already started
their drive toward Libya. Admiral
Jean Estava, who is in command
Of the Tunisian area, is a close
friend of Gen. Henri Giraud and
in all likelihood he will follow
the example of his colleague and
place himself at the disposal Of
the American forces.
u. S. Heading for Bizerte.
The principal objective OF the
lightning drive Of Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower appears to be Bizerte,
the most important French naval
base in the southern Mediter-
ranean and the key to the Little
Maginot line" It is highly i'm
probable that the French will
attempt to defend Bizerte with
greater energy than they de-
Tended Algiers.
So far only American troops
have been operating in North
Africa. They will be soon joined
by at least five French divisions
under Gen. Giraud. The fact
that the operations are directed
exclusively by an American gen.
eral has from the beginning made
an impression on the French.
The 10000 or $4,000 men who are
garrisoning Tunisia would prefer
to place themselves at the dis
posal of the Americans than take
a chance of fighting on the side
of the Nazis.
Tunisia has been coveted by
the Italians for many decades
and the French are convinced If
the Axis wins the war they will
have to surrender that protec-
torate to the Italians. Joining
the Allies is their only chance to
keep Tunisia under French SOW
ereignty.

gaining on her. She stretched
every ounce of strength TO beat

emotion as they touched one an

that in Peggys company he felt

she would have been a perfect

Badly unused, he might have

behind it. Yes, she was quite a
girl, and if he were a younger
man without all that alimony to
pay, he'd pick a girl like that.
Yes, a man could go places
with girl like Myra and not be
afraid to leave her alone for
fear of having tall, dark and
handsomes hanging around
while he was away. That was the
trouble with Blossom. That was
the trouble with Maisie and
