British Liquidoting

CAIRO, Nov. 10.-The Army Of

stand on Egyptian soil near the
Libyan border, while far behind
in the desert British searching
parties found numerous groups
of dead Italians who perished
under the blazing African sun
after being abandoned without
sufficient food and water by
their German allies.
The last scattered remnants of the
once powerful Africa Corps we're be-

between Sidi Barrani and the mud

tragedies OF the desert conflict was
unfolding with British land and air
searchers spotting and rounding up
pitiful groups of italians who sur
vived the fate of their dead COM
rades.
Thousands Lost in Desert.
The hapless Fascists, many of
them suffering from exposure, told
bitterly OF being left by the Ger
mans. They related that thousands
Of their Italian comrades were wan
dering lost in the desert with little or
no hope of survival.
British relief parties were spread
ing over the desert but there was
little chance that they could find
the abandoned Fascists. The Brit

pick up their willing prisoners and
f1rst-aid vehicles to succor them.

and it has been a factor in every
Irish problem arising from that date
onward. The people of the north
are as passionately insistent upon
the continuance of their aff1liation
with the British crown as those Of
the south are determined to achieve
their own exemption from 1t.
The present crisis, Of course, is q
product of the war, and to an out
slider 1t would seem that the fate of
the south OF Ireland Is as much in
volved as that Of the north. Neither
Mr.. De Valera nor any other indi-
vidual can avoid realization Of the
danger Of Axis expansion to all inde-
pendent societies. Any assumption
that the people Of Fire would prefer
the tyranny of Hitler to collaboration
with Britain and the United States
Is unthinkable. Yet q choice soon
may be forced upon Dublin. The
submarine activity to which Der
Fuehrer referred Friday imperils
the shipping upon which the whole
of Ireland, north and south alike,
depends.

Of thinking to comprehensive and uni
versal ways Of judging life. There is
something magnificent and challenging
in it all, and 1t calls for men and women
who have the capacity to think and act
in consonance with the bigness Of the
tines It Is as II We were being moved
from the restricted areas In which We
have lived into broad, expansive spaces
where we are being jostled and pushed
about by a multitude of people whosr
habits, speech and way of life are alto
gether new to us. Singapore. Malaga.
Borneo, Java, Changsha have suddenly
moved into our neighborhood and 1t
may be that our sons are now carrying
on In these hitherto remote places When
they come back to us, as we hope and
pray they may. they will bring with
them strange news Of places and peoples.
What does all this mean to us? It
must mean . broadened vision of the
world in which we live and q deepened
consciousness that life In the future will
experience many and radical changes
Already. America and Britain are talk
ing in terms Of their joint responsibility
as 1t concerns the means of securing q
peaceful world after q new world order
has been secured Some kind Of cor
porate action, we are advised, will prove
indispensable II we are to have security.
Along with this larger world problem
we are being reminded that, our whole
economic and industrial order Is In for
far-reaching changes. Like changes may
come in other aspects of our life. We
do not believe that our basic ways that
have to do with home and domestic life
will change except, we hope. that they
will be more orderly, more decent and
better disciplined.
The whole point of what we are say
ing is this: We are moving rapidly into
a new kind Of world, at present it is
full Of unresolved differences, selfish and
in some places criminal ambitions. Our
own American way Of life is suffering
new strains and dislocations; the free
path Of democracy is challenged by sys-
TENS and ideologies that are strong
in equipment and men. Are we trying
to think through the inevitable changes
that are impending, or are we putting
our trust in chariots?
The hope of a better future is with
those who will mend their ways and
prepare us for a new world wherein
dwelleth Righteousness.

Sieqe Of SINGAPORE

With the withdrawal of the British
Malayan forces to their island fort
ress OF Singapore, the main outpost
Of the United Nations in the Far
East has been brought under inten-
sive siege.
It has been evident, even to the
most optimistic observer, that the
British ultimately would have to
make last stand behind the bris-
Ting guns Of this great $400, 900, 900
naval base, which was so laboriously
carved out Of the jungle. Yet 1t
would be pointless to deny that the
delaying action down the Malayan
Peninsula has been most disappoint-
ingly ineffective.
In less than two months the Japa-
nese troops have driven some $50
miles through defenses-natural and
an-made-which were supposed to
be quite formidable. At no point
were the British able to make a real
stand, demonstrating once again the
futility Of depending upon unfavor-
able terrain to halt an enemy su-
perior in numbers and equipment.
According to the best information,
the Japanese have had from five to
six divisions in the Malayan action.
Opposed to them were from one-and-
a-half to two-and-a-haf divisions
drawn from many parts of the Brit
ish Empire. Needless to say, these
relatively weak defenders were never
capable Of stopping the driving
frontal attacks and the skillful
flanking operations of the Japanese.
In the defense Of Singapore proper,
as long as food and water are avail
able, the British should be able to
fight on more favorable terms. The
island, in all probability, is unassail-
able from the sea and it Is separated
from the mainland by the Strait Of
Johore, which will not be easy for the
japanese to cross. 1t is exposed to
CCIl LII pOul1uAlS 4lOu1 G1lC al, 44OW
ever, and it remains to be seen
whether the British can meet this
menace effectively.
There are supposed to be four main
airports on Singapore Island and
several smaller fields hidden away
in the jungles. If these can be main
tanned for the use of British fighters
despite enemy bombing, and il the
fighters can be sent to Singapore in
sufficient numbers, the japanese will
pay dearly for its conquest, If they
are able to conquer it at all. But it
is clear that means must be found Of
reinforcing the island. Unless this
can be done it is only reasonable to
prepare for the ultimate fall of
Singapore, with all Of the evil con-
sequences such a disaster would
bring.

Experimental Stuqe

In signing the price-control bill as
finally squeezed through Congress,
the President said that the act,
taken all in all, is a workable one.
1t is to be hoped that he is correct
in this appraisal.
Mr.. Roosevelt made 1t clear that
he has doubts as to the wisdom and
adequacy" Of certain sections of the
act, particularly those relating to
farm prices, and indicated that he
may ask Congress to revise this phase
of the legislation if experience shows
that the effort to insure a boost in
the farmers income bears down too
heavily on the consumer. At no
point in his statement did the Presi-
dent allude directly to the fact that
no attempt to control wages was
made in drafting the bill.s
He did point out, however, that
control Of prices alone cannot sue
cessfully combat imitation. This
weapon, he said, must be accom-
panied by an adequate tax and fiscal
program, a sound production pro-
gram, and an effective priorities apd
rationing program. And finally, he
added, "all bulwarks against infla-
ton must fail unless all of us-the
businessman, the worker, the farmer
and the consumer-are determined
to make those bulwarks hold fast"
It may be seriously doubted whether
this latter admonishment will
have any appreciable deterrent effect
on such bulwark-shaking develop
ments as the recent action Of the
c. !. O. Executive Board In urging
