A Stalking Campaign

There are those who contend with the Rus
SLAMS that the time has arrived for the Allies
to thrust for the kill in Europe as a dog leaps
at the throat of an intruder. But from the
leisurely invasion of Italy this is obviously
not the way the high command plotted its
strategy at Quebec. Instead, it seems more
likely that the Hitlerites are to be stalked.
possibly from several directions, much as a
tiger stalks its prey.
The Italian invasion was not really on a
major scale. Only small part of the forces
commanded by General Eisenhower " e
landed in southern Italy. 1t is reasonable
for quick victory in Italy more troops from
Sicily and others from North Africa would
now be engaged in the attack 1t must be
that these others are temporarily immobile
While awaiting orders for landing at anoth-
er point. 1t is much the same in the British
Isles where millions of troops are waiting TO
cross the channel or the North sea.
One observer views the situation thus re-
vealed as indicating the Allies intend to con-
duct a campaign of investment, which will
involve smaller losses, rather than open at
tack, even though it will take longer for ul.
innate victory.
This is a speculative view, of course, and
is partially offset by word emanating from
the Washington Star t h a General George
Marshall has already been selected to com.
mand all expeditonary forces sent from Eng
land. Dewitt Mackenzie, the Associated Press
war analyst, says that invasion plans must
be well advanced if a commander has al
ready been chosen.
Whether these guesses are correct or not
the Italian campaign is practically at a stand
still, Russia is getting along very well on
the Eastern 'front.' and the Germans are at
loss to know what is coming next.
Although the chance that the war in Europe
may be ended before another calendar year
arrives seems to be fading out the course
of the war is changing in our favor If any
prolongation of the battle is fully offset by
the saving of lives, it will have been well
worth while.

At It Again

Admittedly, the coal strike impaired coal
production but before ration addicts rush the

Ion OF the men who at least nominally still
run the coal mines the former owners and

industry said:
Il think ALLEGATION of coal is dangerous to
the government, to our war effort. to our
civilian population, and to the coal industry
[ personally think it is inexcusable l think
If we are short of coal, we are not short
over or per cent on the years production
This or per cent was lost by strikes which
the government could have and should have
prevented.
The way to cure this situation is not to
create further shortages. ALLEGATION and ra-
tioning will put thousands of people who ought
to be at work to interfering with the normal
movement of coal. There is way to cure it.
That is by working an extra hour day until
we make up this loss of $1,000 OOO- 20 900 900

AS Others Say It
MEASURING THE ATTACK


The measure of the landing in
Italy is not to be taken simply
by counting the divisions moving
against the enemy there. T h e
area covered and the numbers in
volved tell only a fraction of the
story. If one looks at this front
and then at the front stretching
through Russian territory from the
Baltic to the Black Sea one may
wonder at the amount OF discus
sion this attack has aroused. But
the comparison leaves out some
tremendous physical factors as
well as vital psychological ones.
The physical factors are dis

overcoming of what Hitler hoped
might prove to be his decisive

ogical factor turns on the physical

that the war would be won by
the Nais before American a i d

could be launched over the seas

Nor IS the shock lessened by the fact that
1t was caused by faulty equipment and not,
at least directly, by act of the enemy
Why should train, rated among the best

Maybe because some car inspector was care
less. But this does not give the whole answer
We must accept as fact that rolling stock
is rapidly deteriorating from excess use and
the railways cannot replace it, and also that
railway employees are working under high
pressure. The inspector whose duty it was
to determine that the journal which burned
off was in good condition and the journal

We know none of the circumstances from
which the wreck stemmed, but the condi-
tons here cited could have been at the bottom
of the wreck.
Which emphasizes the question over which
railway leaders are losing more sleep the
longer it goes unanswered: how to get new
rolling stock which is as vitality needed as
the vital materials of which it is constructed,
but for which priorities are not granted; and
how to keep operating forces, from train

exhaust their strength.

Observation-Disclosures of the
Italian mainland may make it nee
essary to do something about the
body of Mussolini almost any time
now.
From all reports he still is in
Italy The Germans may get him
out but l hope we induce the Ital-
ians to hold him on the hoof for us.
One day when I was just out
of Sicily, and without trying to
start an argument at ALL b u t
rather by way of stating an obvi-
Gus principle of justice, l men
toned that we ought to shoot Hit
Ter and Mussolini on sight and
waste no time on a trial.
Much to my surprise a wordy
argument developed. Most of the
mail that has come in since l
returned home has been about
that-Whether to give them a trial
An editorial from the Jackson,
Miss, Daily News prefers hang
ing. That brings the argument
down to something tangible.
When Mississippi editor sits
himself down to discuss the mer-
its of hanging, one must listen as
to voice of authority. My Mis-
sissippi friend would take these
two loose bolts from the Axis and
hang them for few minutes in
every town square in Italy. He
would repeat the process in Ger
many and in other European coun-
tries.
In all Of these stringings, says
this Mississippi Henry Watterson,
we would be careful not to choke
the life out of them. A well shot
man, he says, is no good for
repeat performance.
I still prefer shooting-a quick,
sure job, simple, with no time
wasted finding a piece of rope, or
tree. Every Allied soldier in
Italy is already equipped to do
the job.
Name your own method but let
us not waste time on the farce
of a hypocritical trial. Why haul
stage full of international law
yers around to put on fake show?
Can you imagine any trial that
would acquit Hitler and Musso-
lini? They are common enemies
and should be shot resisting ar
rest. Dispose of them under mill
tary law. They have lived by the
gun and let them die by the gun.
That is just to get one thing
out of the way SO that we can
attend to the more important ard
difficult responsibilities that .he
Allies as victors must accept.
You can't just wreck Italy and
leave it to the mercy of new loot
ers and bandits like Mussolini.
We are fortunately thinking of
alternatives to the helpless little
king and to the trapped Badoglo.
The Allies are looking for an Ital

cratic minded people in Italy to
starting a new political life.

Churchill's Message

The partnership which has been created be-
tween the United States and Great Britain
must not be dissolved as soon as the war is
won. Instead, for mutual protection and the
good of the world it must become as perma-
nent as mortal arrangements can be made.
Although Winston Churchill, the British
prime minister, made this declaration on the
occasion of his receiving the honorary degree
of Doctor of Laws at Harvard university
when, for the most part, he dwelt on the
bonds of friendship woven of a common Ian
guage, its significance cannot be minimized.
For our own safety as we'll as for the
security of the rest of the word'' he said.
tioning machine created by the joint Ameri-
can-British general staffs) working and in
running order after the war, probably for a
good many years-not only until we have set up
some world arrangement to keep the peace,
but until we know that it is an arrangement
which will really give us that protection we
must have from danger and aggression which
we have had to seek across two vast world
wars
These two proposals. to enforce peace after
the war, and to protect the peace far into
the future, deserve separate consideration
What sort of world arrangeme nt'' to keep
the peace shall be set up when the war ends?
1t is a big problem. But so long there is
no indication that the millennium will follow
this conflict, it would seem that world police
force will offer the hest means of accon,p1ch
ing the desired end. In this project, the
partnership among English speaking peoples,
which already has demonstrated its worth in
battle, naturally will have to take the lead
ing role
The other problem-that of maintaining
lasting peace-comes with equal force as an
unacceptable obligation. But its factors are
greater than those of the other The United
States and Britain must have the strength
not only mlitarily, but morally as well, to
make it Improbable for any power again
to launch war
This means that the armies and the navies
of the two great democracies will have to be
kept at an unprecedented level in size and
efficiency. But it also means that the gov
ernments at Washington and London must
be motivated by the highest order of fair
play for everybody. 1t means that while the
two democracies are strong enough to en-
force peace they must also be strong enough
to enforce justice in all quarters of the globe,
among the peoples of the earth, and see that
all geographical groups enjoy the blessings
of self-determination within their own borders.
without interference or exploitation by strong
er groups.
This is the moral responsibility of Britain
and the United States in the postwar world,
1t IS the only sure means of attaining and
enforcing world peace for any considerable
period of time
