I'd Rather Be Riqht-

But these, so far, are surface
meanings, the obvious effects of
great event. Let us dig deeper:
Sicily has ruled out the danger
of stalemate. Stalemate was Hit
ler's last hope. winston Churchill
warned us of this on May 20, when
he said, in the most ominous trems:
There is one grave danger which
will go along with us to the end.
That danger is the undue pro-
longation of the war. No one can
tell what new complications and
perils might arise in four or five
more years of war, and it is in the
dragging out of war at enormous
expense till the democracies are
tired or bored or split that the main
hopes of Germany and Japan must
now reside"
Sicily is blow against stalemate.
Hitler's loss of the hope of stale
mate is his most stunning defeat
in Sicily, far more important than
the coming loss of Sicily itself.
Hitler Without Course.
1t makes it necessary for Hitler
to change his strategy, and it leaves
him no strategy to change to. Rus
sia proved that the Hitler offensive
was not invincible, and Sicily proves
the Hitler defensive is not invin-
chile.
The test of a great event is it's
repercussions, its ability to generate
other great events. If we glance
back at the American scene now,
we see that those few ex-isola-
tionists who have asked that we
postpone conclusions in Europe, and
concentrate on other fronts, have
been placed in as awkward a di-
lemma as Hitler himself.
Their Zine" like his, is shattered.
1t was all very well to say: Don't
go into Europe, it's impossible"
Now it is not only possible, it is
actual; we are in Europe. If they
would continue their line" they
will have to say: Come on back
out Of Europe" This they cannot
say.
Evening star., 1943-07-17

that the second front is tactically
possible. We did not really know
this before. Hitler did not know it.
The Allies did not know it and
their enemies did not know it. The
Allies had hoped that a second
front was tactically possible Now
they know that it is, which is very
different.
Those among us who have talked
idly or speculatively or hopefully
of some alternative method Of war;
fare besides the second front, per-
haps pure. air war, can do so no
longer They used to be able to
say, Maybe it must be pure air
war, because maybe a second land
front is impossible" Those maybes
we're defeated on the beaches of
Sicily. The whole character of
western public discussion of the
war is affected.
Portent for Japan.
Oddly enough Sicily has as much
meaning for the Pacific, for Japan,
as it has for Europe. The Axis at
tempted excuses, its explanations
that Sicily is only an island, will
not greatly hearten the ally in the
East. Only an island, is it? So is
the main body of Japan only an
island and her most important pos
sessions are only islands.

for that matter, has been Gov.
Bricker of Ohio. However, there
is always a polite fiction that
until presidential possibility
actually casts his hat formally in
the ring he is not a candidte.
Now that Mr.. Willkie has more
or less broken the ice, other can
didates for the Republican nomi-
nation may follow suit. The &C
tual scramble for delegates is al
ready under way. Efforts are
being made quietly to line up this
and that State leader for this or
that candidate.
However, Gov. Bricker yester-
day refused to be drawn into any
statement of his presidential
plans because of the virtual an
nouncement by Mr.. Willkie.
Bricker Is Silent.
Speaking over the long dis
tance telephone from Columbus,
Ohio, Gov. Bricker said, when
asked if he would now say def
nltely if he were a candidate for
the nomination.
"Oh, no, I have nothing to say
now. At some future time, will
make my position clear"
Gov. Bricker's name has been
prominently mentioned for the
presidential nomination for more
than a year. Senator Taft, the
runner-up against Mr.. Willkie for
the nomination in 1910, an
nounced last winter that he
would support Gov Bricker.
That the Governor will enter
the presidential race is confident
ly predicted by Ohio Republican
leaders. For the time being.
however, it is the Bricker strategy
to keep quiet, not only regarding
a formal announcement of candi-
dacy but also regarding some of
the main issues to come promi-
nently into the preconvention
campaign - among them the
foreign policy of the Republican
party.
Some of the supporters of
Gov. Bricker have taken the posi-
tion they did not want their
candidate to get out in front in
the race for the nomination so
far in advance Of the nominat-
ing convention. They feel, they
say it would be a mistake, that
Gov. Bricker then would be the
target of brickbats from the
camps of all other candidates.
See Willkie Now Target.
With the publication of Mr..
Wilkes interview saying he
would enter the Illinois primary
next year if Col. Robert R. Nc
Cormlck did, the Bricker people
believe that Mr.. Willkie now has
stepped out and from this point
on will be the target, rather than
the Ohio Governor.
The Willkie campaign largely
is predicated on the foreign pol
icy issue, with Mr., Willkie taking
a strong position in favor of in
ternational cooperation after
the war shall have been won and
against the old isolationist pol

Trio Given Prison Terms
In S430 Robbery

Three colored men were sentenced
by Justice James w. Morris of Dis
trict Court yesterday to serve from
two to six years each on a charge of
robbing another colored man OF $430
last February.
The trio recently had been found
guilty when tried second time
after having been granted a new
trial following an earlier conviction.
They are Theodore Anderson, %;
James Edwards, %, and Herman
Leach, 27.
Their victim, Joseph Small, was
robbed in his home, in the 800
block of N street NV.
The Anderson and Edwards sem
tences were ordered to run concur
rently with sentences of from 5 to
Is years which they were given some
time ago on charges of housebreak-
ing and larceny.

This Changing World

no question that an all-out in
vasion of Italy proper will be
attempted before the end of the
summer.
So far Gen. Eisenhower has
used only relatively small por-
ton Of the force he had ear
marked for the invasion of Sicily.
The plans for this operation,
which might have proved ex-
tremely costly, provided for Ger
tain force, the effectiveness of
which must, of course, remain a
military secret.
1t is expected that on the
beaches of Sicily alone a certain
number Of Allied troops would
be put out of action and an addi-
tional larger number would be
lost in inland battles.
Requirements were available
for, heavy losses which had to be
calculated on paper at the high
est figure. So far, the losses suf-
fered by the American, British
and Canadian forces have been
far below the original estimate.
This leaves to the American high
command substantial force
which has not been used in the
attack on Sicily and may never
have to be used if the Italians
continue their mass surrenders.
Margin in Air Also.
The same applies to Allied avi-
alton. In order to avoid surprises,
it was anticipated that the Luft-
waite would attack the Allied
air force recklessly. In order to
have a safe margin, it was taken
for granted that large number
of Nazi planes would be thrown
into the battle to prevent our
landing. However, our air supe-
rlority was overwhelming. The
large Nazi forces did not appear.
Today we have available a sub
stantial ground force for other
operations and we also have
maintained our initial air ad-
vantage.
Should the Italians show the
same lack of fighting spirit, it is
possible the Nazis will not be
inclined to waste men and ma
terial for the defense of Sicily
and Southern Italy.
Under these circumstances. the
Allied strategy this year may be
directed at Italy itself.
The battle for Sicily is not
over. We have not met the main
body of the enemy forces. 1t is
possible that we never shall meet
it if the Italians continue to dis
1ntegrate at the present rate. The
next few days will tell the whole
story and will decide our strategy
for this year.

by military strategists because
of the large forces which the
Allies would have to engage in
a move which, if successful,
would lead us only to the fringes
of the Reich.
The lack Of enthusiasm for a
major attack on Italy itself,
which was noticeable among
American strategists, was predi-
Gated on the fact that the Italian
troops, poor as they were, could
have a strong nuisance value if
they fought for the defense of
their own homeland and were
strongly backed by Nazi divi-
sions.
Although none of our military
men had high opinion of the
military qualities of the Italians,
it was not believed they would
be pushovers while fighting to
protect their homeland.
The opinion of the strategists
soon may undergo a sharp
change.
So far it has been obvious that
italian divisions made little or
no attempt to oppose the Allied
landing forces.
Military Men Cautious.
While the average observer
Immediately concluded there
wasn't spark of italian fight
left, military men continue to be
cautious. But they have no doubt
we will take Sicily much earlier
than was originally estimated.
However they want our forces
to meet better troops, which the
Italians are supposed to have in
key strategic position of their
island fortress, and see how these
units will fight. Should these
divisions follow the pattern OF
resistance of the forces we have
met so far, there seems to be
