Nv WALTER LIPPMANN

Earl providers views on tine
second front by which he means
an invasion of northern Europe
across the English Channel - are
interesting only because he has
put into bitterly provocative words
a view which has had the support
not only of many laymen but OF
some professional soldiers and
sailors. Indeed, it is quite evident
from close reading of his speech
that, while recklessly exploiting
his knowledge to further his pollt-
ical views, he is by no means al
together uniformed about mat
tiers which have been earnestly
debated for some eighteen months.
Mr.. Browder says that 1.-The
failure to realize the second front
even during the beginning OF the
third year of coalition poses
the alternative: either Britain and
the United States are unwilling to
carry any proportionate share OF
the fighting or they are unable to
do So" This grave charge, which
if believed would have such Ia
mentable consequences, calls for
an answer. There is an answer.
The answer is that in the first
wear of coalition war - the year
1912 - we were quite unable to
launch a successful frontal attack
against the most strongly defend
ed coast on the face of the globe.
In this year-1943-we are not in
the third year but only three-quar-

LIBERAT0RS OPEN
INDIES OFFENSIVE
Slash 1000 Miles Without
Loss To Strike Car
Nicobar

NEW DELHI, Sept. S. - tR -
American Liberator bombers,
winging almost 1000 miles into
the Indian ocean, have opened a
new western aerial offensive
against the approaches to the Jap
nese-occupied, rubber-rich Meth
erlands East indies, a 10th U. S.
Air Force headquarters communi-
que disclosed today.
The raid, carried out Friday
without loss against military in
stallationh on Car Nicobar island,
200 miles northwest of Sumatra,
was the first Allied blow from
the west against the westernmost
outposts of Japan's rich military
conquests since the East Indies
fell to the invaders early in 1912.
American aerial might thus was
launched against Japan, as decid-
ed at the Churchill-Roosevelt o.
bee conference even before the ar
rival in this theater of the new Al
lied commander in chief in south
east Asia, Vice Admiral Lord Lou
is Mountbatten.
The number of the big, four-en-
gined craft participating in the O.
O0O-mile raid was not specified.
but the communicate said that lex
cellent results we're reported" Di-
rect hits were scored on docks and
installations and near hits on 100
foot barge.
Car Nicobar is one of the prin-
cipal islands in the Nicobar group,
which consists of some 10 fertile
isles separating the Bay of Bengal
from the Andaman sea.
The former British possessions
lie almost 700 miles due south OF
Burma and are the closest ap-
proaches to Sumatra, one of the
largest islands in the East Indies
group.
The blow from the west brings
Allied pressure against the Indies
from the west as we'll as the east,
where Gen Douglas Macarthur S
Southwest Pacific air forces have
been making forays into the Cele'
hes, Borneo and Java.
In her conquest Of the 100, O0O
square miles and 10000 people OF
the Indies, Japan seized one OF the
worlds greatest sources OF rub
Der, tin, coal, tea. coffee. spices
and tobacco.
On the same day, American P-4O
fighter planes sweeping over Japa-
nese-occupied Burma strafed ship
ping on the northern 1rrawaddy
river, and BIS medium bombers
followed up the attacks the follow
ing day by assaults on the rail-
way yards at Mandalay.
