months of the North African campaign
Allied naval and air fighters sank "a
Axis supply and transport ships cross
ing from Sicily or Italy to Tunisia. That
rate of loss would leave the Axis with
out shipping on the Mediterranean in a
year. Long before such date the Axis
would have to contemplate using what
shipping it had left to take the Axis
armies out Of Tunisia. Such a removal
attempt might be advantageous for the
Allies in more ways than one, Admiral
Sir Andrew B. Cunningham, command

naval forces, said last week, because it
might bring the italian Nays heavy
units out of their harbors to assist in
the Axis Dunkerque operation. The
British Navy would like to pounce on the

labor-provided that the home market,
equally with the export market, shall
benefit from such friendly help, and
that the state shall have means to satisfy
itself that the help is used in the ma
tional interest.
Filthy, the relation thus envisaged be-
tween the state and industry should be
a partnerships two-way affair in which
each party has something to teach the
other To that end, we shall need large
elements in the civil service trained, not
exclusively in administration, but in the
commerce so that they can work har-
moniously with the business world and
be regarded by it not as interfering
busybodies, but as friends and helpers
Such a system of partnership, with
due recognition and mutual obligation
would avoid the errors of unbridled in
dividualism or restrictive monopoly on
the one hand, and of burdensome, inter-
fering bureaucracy on the other. What
ever later developments there may be,
this seems a fair and practical solution
to pressing national problem.
If one looked only at the record of our
export industries in the period between
the wars, one might be little disheart-
ened about future prospects. But look at
the proud and remarkable achievement
of our industrial system in this war, an
h1,o
try under any system; one to which our
enemies themselves point as an example.
Consider the remarkable result of this
wartime partnership of the state and
industry. See how, with all it's imperfec-
tions-and nothing human is perfect
it has helped release the brains and
energies, the ingenuity and inventiveness,
and the drive of our people. Are there
not lessons here for the critical postwar
years?
Looking forward, then, past the neces-
sary stringencies and shortages of the
earlier postwar years, see the hope of
bright future for Britain and the
World-a future, however, that is shad-
owed by two great question marks. One
is the problem of population-our de-
cline in the birth rate. 1t is coming to
be generally realized that If we are to
maintain our population at anywhere
near its present level, We must be able
to count on considerable increase in
the size of the average family.
Some experts have calculated that to
keep population of $4,000, ,000-that is
100000 less than our present popula-
tion-we should need big families-on an
average Of Is per cent bigger than those

the Caucasus. Rostov was afire when the
Reds gained it. The capture of the city
was a triumph of encirclement, with the
tactic in charge of Col. Gen. Rodion Y.
Malinovsky, squat Ukrainian. The
Axis did not force the Reds to besiege
them. The enemy armies are making
practice in Russia of pulling out of
city when it becomes obvious that the
game is up. This is the only scheme that
permits the salvation by the Axis of
the maximum number of troops. In this

They are ships stolen from the coun-
tries grabbed off by the Nazis-fast Dan

and British ships and a scattering Of
Dutch ships.
Many of them have been converted
into raiders so that they can perform
the dual task of bringing home cargoes
and sinking stray vessels encountered on
the long voyage to the East Indies and
back.
On January the British Admiralty
and the Air Ministry said in a joint COM
munique that "a large Nazi vessel at
tempting to run the blockade was inter-
cepted by one of our patrol planes of the
Coastal Command" This patrol plane
reported the ships position and H. M. S.

will induce such an increase In the birth
rate provides one of the greatest tests
of the wisdom and foresight of our peo-
pie and the craftsmanship of our lead
erS.
1t is no use talking alone about the
selfshness and laziness of parents. There
may be something in that, but 1t Is open
to doubt whether parents are more sell
fish or more lazy now than they have
ever been. On the whole, they think
more about their children's welfare; but
they have got new ideas and standards
both for themselves and for their chill
dren.
In any case, we have got to face It,.
so we had better set to work to provide
the right answer. 1t is time to work out
a national charter of childhood and a
charter of motherhood, setting up stand
ards that will satisfy the reasonable as
pirations of parents for their children
and for themselves.
That, then, is the f1rst question mark
to which it will be our task to find the
right answer.
The second takes us beyond our own
borders to that world of international
economic relations of which I have al
ready spoken. We must face the fact
that both at home and abroad old eco
nomic ideas are still very strong.
1t is an unhappy fact-we saw it DEM
onstrated after the last war-that newly
liberated nations have a tendency to-
ward extreme, even aggressive, economic
nationalism.
1t is perhaps the natural reaction from
the suppression of nationalism from
which they have suffered; but 1t Is a
danger to them and to the world. Other
nations, too, nations which have not this
excuse (and am not excepting anybody.
including ourselves). find 1t easy to slip
into the old rut of economic nationalism,
separatism, isolationism and aggressive
grabbing for markets and profits.
Yet it Is as certain as daylight that at
the end of the old road Of economic ma
tionalism there lies one more bitter and
bloody lesson for humanity by one more
period of poverty and depression where
there could be enrichment and pros
perity. International trade on ma
tionalist, competitive basis is economic
war; economic war leads to military war:
attempts at economic domination will
be resisted like attempts at military
domination and will divide the world into
warning camps.
So the question is-are we going to set
out toward hope or toward despair Both
at home and abroad, that issue is before
us. We cannot alone lay down economic
policies for the world, but we can give
the right lead. or hasten to follow If it is
given elsewhere.

into Central Tunisia For day it was
seesaw around Faid, but then the Yam
KEGS and their French colleagues began
to fall back. They lost Sidi Bouzid, on
the western side of Faid Pass. They
gave up Gafsa. The Rommel men moved
across the high plateau from Sidi Bouzid
to Sbeitla, SO miles north of Gafsa, which
was occupied by a column that moved
south from Sidi Bouzid.
The German 21st and 10th Armored Di-
visions were performing this job, which
was the only good news that reached the
Axis capitals during the week. The Al
lies Withdrew to Tebessa, in Algeria be-
fore they were able to reform and
reorganize. In Washington, Secretary of
War StimSon commented our forces had
suffered serious local setback" which
should not be minimized," although
still less, should it be exaggerated"
Until the drive that thrust the Yankees
to Tebessa began, Secretary Stimson dis
closed, Army casualties of the United
States on all fronts showed 1888 killed,
$500 wounded, 1854 missing in action
and 6,l32 officially reported prisoners of
war.
What Rommel accomplished for him
self and for Col. Gen. Jurgen Won Arnim
by his action of last week was the pro-
longation of the Tunisian campaign.
The Americans and French in Gafsa
hoped to reach the Gulf of Gabes and
cut the Axis in two. Instead Rommel
has cut the Allies in two. To the south
of him is the dreaded 9th Army that
showed him 500 miles across the desert.
To the north is the 1st Army of Gen.
K. A. N. Anderson, trying to fashion a
steel moose for the Germans in the
northern and main Tunisian strongholds
of Bizerte and Tunis. Had Rommel
stayed behind Faid Pass, the 9th Army
could have pressed against his flank
with force he could not long have sus-
talned. Now he can confront the 9Th
Army squarely. The longer Rommel and

A Norwegian cargo ship, manned by a
German prize crew from raider that
captured her off New Zealand, sailed 70
days without sighting a single ship She

The prize crew scuttled the ship with

The sub that caught her had sailed for

Nazi Headache
Scandinavian Front
Disintegrating
Bp John Grover

While Hitler has been getting his
Jumps on the southern front, his politico-
military northern flank has been dis
integrating steadily.
The Scandinavian countries can be-
come a collective headache to the Nazis.
If for no other reason than that they
are closest to the heart Of Germany, the
little nothern nations loom increasingly
large in the play Of forces that will
determine the 1943 campaign.
Germany has announced that the Won
Falkenhorst line on The Norwegian coast
is invasion proof" With the decline in
German fortunes, however, there is an
increasing belief that the Norwegian
coast would not cost the Allies too much
In blood.
There have been repeated neutral re-
ports that the Nazi troops garrisoning
that coast have mutinied. There have
been reports of one-in-ten executions
and concentration camps to curb these
outbursts. These reports do not speak
highly of the caliber of the Nazi troops
in Norway
Experts also point out that the long,
ragged Norwegian coast would be ex-
tremely difficult to fortify. The frequent
| Commando raids, with the black-clad
| night fighters remaining ashore as long
| as 70 hours, indicate no impervious
| Nazi defense system.
| The 100000 Norwegians are vio-
lently anti-Nazi, probably would CO.
| operate with any invasion force.
| The Russians are close to the North
| Cape area of Norway. Allied landings
| on the Northwest Norwegian coast could
be timed to synchronize with Russian
westward push. A juncture here would
remove much of the threat to Russia
bound conveys from subs operating
from North Cape bases.
Finland has given unmistakable evil
dence lately that she would like to be
out of the war as an Axis partner Loss
of Finland would release important
Russian armies. bring the war close to
Germany's Baltic doorsetp.
Denmark is restive and unhappy un-
der the German yoke. would undoubt-
edly Welcome an Allied invasion.
Swedens southern coast is only two
miles from Naz-occupied Denmark, As
miles across the Baltic narrows to Ger
many's north coast her most vulnerable
frontier.
This geographic factor, plus the iron
Germany gets from Sweden. has kept
the NaZis from invasion. Lately the
Swedes have been talking back in no
uncertain terms to the Germans as they
continue to be driven back on all fronts.
Swedish antiaircraft gunners shot down
Nazi plane over Southern Norway the
other day.
Germany's short North Sea coastline
is another point engaging attention Of
strategists lately. 1t bristles with forth
fications, but it is temptingly close to
the industrial vitals of the Reich. An
invasion move there would force Hit
ler to strip other fronts to repulse the
attack.
Germany's northern flank is in uneasy
balance. 1t could very easily be turned
into a major front overnight.
The United Nations have so much to
gain here, and the Germans so much
to lose that the present balance Is not
likely to continue Indefinitely.

pressed out of Kharkov are hurrying now
toward Poltava, where more than two
centuries ago the Swedish enemies OF
Russia were disastrously beaten. Pol
tava, a city of sugar refineries, is the

Poltava, while another column heads for
Dniepropetrovsk. This column has
reached and gone beyond the town of
Lozovaya, on the railroad from Kharkov
Dniepropetrovsk North of Kursk,
which is north Of Kharkov, the Reds
reached within 30 miles Of Orel, strong
German bastion.
The Russians are squeezing forward
toward the control of the shores of the
Sea of Azov, into which the Don flows,
with Rostov at the Don's mouth. Here
is the rich Donets Basin, and the cap
ture last week of the town Of Voroshilov-
grad advanced the campaign for the
basin. An immediate Russian objective
is the town of Taganrog, on the north
eastern arm of the Sea of Azov. Control
of the Sea of Azov shoreline helps seal
the fate of the Axis forces pinned in the
Caucasus.
The great virtue of the Russian front
from the standpoint of Russias western
Allies is that IT, is a mighty throat that
swallows countless German soldiers

the German staff to transfer reserves

There are no signs of any slowup in the
