other. Obviously, It is necessary
for the Anglo American political
leaders to reach complete agree
ment before they meet the Rus
slams. That is clearly the rea-
son why the idea developed OF
dividing the conference into two
parts-flrst between the Presi-
dent and Prime Minister. and
afterward in Moscow, between
Summer Welles, Anthony Eden
and Premier Stain.
But why is there the necessity
Of another crucial" conference
between Britain and America?
secret diplomacy now thickens
into fog. but even here there
are rays OF light.
Mr.. Churchill always has been
more realistic about the Russian
power and position, and the
logical consequences following
from that power and position,
than we have. Mr.. Churchill I
think, discerns better than we,
that politics Is the art of pos
sibilities.
I fear our policy has been too
largely based on the theory that
merely because we are rich and
powerful, we will have the final
word in everything. But that
is not true Of the world in
the goth century. We could not
even buy the policy We wanted
in France. We certainly cannot
buy it in Russia. Because in this
war, in this epoch and the one
to come. ultimate decisions will
not be made by diplomacy at all.
They will be made by the
masses of the people in every
single country, and great politics
today consists wholly in the
power to discern whittier the
minds and wills, hopes and
warnings, OF the broad masses
Of the people everywhere are
leading.
Masses Seek New Life.
The masses of the people in
Europe have suffered and are
suffering unbelievably; they have
sacrificed practically everything
that they have. And their war
aims are not to recover a certain
percentage of losses by loans and
relief, but to lay the firm founda-
tions for a real new life.
Mr.. Churchill apparently is
bothered about some of our
plans. He revealed it in. his
speech after the fall of Mussolini.
Specifically. he raised questions
about the "Amgot," the American
plan of setting up Anglo-Amer-
ican military occupational ad-
ministrations in enemy countries
and in so-called liberated"
countries. Mr.. Churchill said
bluntly that he doubted whether
such occupational authorities
would be much more welcome to
the masses of the people than the
Nazi occupational authorities
which they would replace.
Mr.. Churchill, being closer TO
Europe in every way than we are,
and understanding that he must
live on good terms with Russia in
the postwar period If we are not
going to have another war. mus,
I think, have a slightly different
view from that of the President.
So--it would seem-when Mr..
Churchill heard that Mr.. Roose-
velt was vacationing in Canada,
he wired that he would join h'm,
and it is unfortunate that by
bad luck they missed each ether.

This Changing World

jected occasionally, the Allies
cannot afford a major setback at
this time. And 1t Is evident from
the new figures Mr.. Byrnes vol-
unteered that we might be fac
ing an unpleasant situation II we
were to move heedlessly against
the strongly fortified and WELL
manned Nan positions in West
ern Europe.
For instance, campaign in
Eastern Europe across the Adri-
attic has become a political prob
lem In recent months. 1t depends
largely on whether Moscow will
look with favor toward such an
operation.
Although the Quebec conferees
have not yet completed their
work, 1t appears from Mr.. Byrnes'
statement that, with the excep-
tion of some mopping-up opera
tons in Sicily, We must look to
intensified air warfare against
the Axis countries this year and
will have to wait until early next
summer for an all-out blow
against the Reich.
The reaction OF Moscow to such
strategy is regarded as being
OF great importance.
Details Given Soviet.
Oficially and unofIicially the
Soviet government has been
pressing its western associates for
an early campaign against the
Nazis in Europe. According to
indications Premier Stain be-
lieves the Allies could land in
France or the Lowlands II they
desired and were willing to make
the necessary sacrifices.
Washington and London al
ways have provided the Soviet
high command with every con-
ceivable detail regarding the
present and potential strength in
the hope of convincing the Rus
sion leader that a hasty attack
might be fatal to the cause OF all
the nations involved in a war
against the Axis.
Despite these argumen
backed by cold facts, the Rus
slams have been pressing us
stronger than ever to start an
offensive in Western Europe.
None Of our arguments based on
sound military considerations has
been OF avail. With monotonous
regularity. we hear from, Moscow
the same phrases: When are we
going to start fighting? We are
rolling the Germans back at great
speed. Strike now and Germany
will collapse before the end of
the year."
Unless all the American and
British military men are anna
teurs, they know that to strike
Western Europe now would be
suicidal. We need at least an
other eight months to get ready.
We are preparing as fast as pos
sible. In the meantime, we are
hurting the Nazis by regular day
and night bombings. We are
crippling their industries, their
morale and the prestige Of their
leaders. We are preparing the
ground effectively so that when
the day comes for our armies to
cross the Channel we will find
only shell ready to collapse.
We hope that Moscow will
share our point of view. which is
sound and leading to certain vic
tory. But the stubborn request
for what Moscow calls a second
front leads some observers to fear
that our strategy will not meet
with the approval OF the Rus

runner, which the rules then per-
mitted.
0'Dea's punting style was pecu-
liarly his own. AS he swung his
foot into the bali, his left foot left
the ground six or eight inches. His
perfect follow through had his right
foot well above his head at the fln-
ish. He fairly exploded his foot
against the ball, and the punt
scared from 30 to 80 yards and 30
high that even ct those distances
ends were almost invariably under
1t.
Although the spiral was new to
him when he started In American
football, O'Dea Quickly mastered It,
but IN games always reverted to the
style he learned In Australia. And
the fact that his end-over-end
punts usually dropped erratically
did not make the catcher's duty any
easier.
For dropkicks Of 20 to 90 yards,
ODea needed o full swing, 80
dropped the bail farther ahead Of
him than most dropkickers and
from the height Of his waist. This
gave opposing linemen o better
chance and occasionally he had
dropkick blocked, though the block
of-granite Yale line Of 1899 was the
only one that blocked more than
one.

HIS GREATEST PLACEKICK
O'Dea's greatest placekick for q

Western League ball park, Nov. IL,
1899. An injured leg had him out
Of uniform for IL days before the
game, and he was still handicapped
by 1t.
A 20.mile wind blew directly
across the field. An Illinois punt
dropped Just In bounds and O'Dea
shouted to Juneau, playing right
end: "Fair catch, Bill, fair catchi"
Juneau heeled the catch, Just few
feet inside the sideline and 80 yards
from the goal line.
O'Dea calmly kicked o perfect
goal. Actually, 1t would have scored

O'Dea stood 8 feet / Ia and his

Patrick John O'Dea wrecked fine
football teams with his kicking as
early as 1897.
0ilmour Dobie, the famous
coach, always maintained that Pat
O'Deas dropkick which took the
heart out Of Minnesota In Minneap-
oils In November, 1899, was the
greatest individual play he ever saw.
With the ball deep in Minnesota
territory, Knowlton punted only 80
yards. Legendary Patsy ODea made
fair catch and attempted o 90
yard placekick, barely missing. In
those days fair catches offered the
only chance to place kick goals ex-
cept after touchdowns. In IDEAS
time, Wisconsin players were on the
alert for fair catches anywhere
within 80 yards Of the goal line.
Minnesota brought the ball In IS
yards and this time It few straight
to O'Dea, 10 yards beyond midfleld
and with young Gil Dobie Of the
Gophers right under It, The field
at that time was 10 yards long,
from goal line to goal line. O'Dea
caught the bail 10 yards beyond
midf1eld, which meant 66 yards from
the goal. Other Minnesota players
were covering the ball rapidly.
after GLIDING me-" explains
Gloomy Gil Dobie, "O'Dea ran to-
ward the sideline. He did not kick
until several Minnesota players were
almost upon him. The kick was,
therefore, at q dif1lcult angle, made
harder by the fact that O'Dea, o
right-footed kicker, was running to
his left.
CHANGED TYPE OF GAME
Newspaper accounts give the dis.
lance Of the kick as 80 yards. The
sensational dropkick coming early
In the second half with both teams
scoreless broke the heart Of the
Minnesota team. Wisconsin, cor
respondingly encouraged, swept on
to win, 1870.
In o'Dea's day--lSs7, 90 and 90
football was q rushing, bruising
game. With O team required to adj
vance the bail Ave yards In three
downs, the punt was rarely used
except as defensive tactic on third
down. With O'Dea gaining huge
yardage on every exchange, how
ever, Phil King, Princeton'S three
time All America quarterback
coaching the Badgers, developed the
kicking game, reserving his rushing
attack until within scoring distance.
Until his senior year, O'Dea rarely
was permitted to carry. King re.
fused to hazard his most formidable
