him from numbering 1000, 900 per-
sons in cold blood in 1943.
He will be permitted to stage that
demonstration during a year in
which the French and Belgian
radios in London are calling on their
people to rise in revolutionary &C
ton. But to all would-be revolu-
tionaries, Hitler will be able to show
the actuality or the photographs Of
1000, 900 dead faces.
During a year in which the plain
people Of Europe are asked to break
Hitlers power, he will be able to
stage the most staggering demon
stration Of unmitigated individual
power in the entire history of mur-
der.
Conversely, to stop him, by any
means, will be demonstration by
us that Our power reaches within
Europe, and limits and confines
Hitlers power. To protect the Jews
Of Europe from death Is the only
possible guarantee, at this moment,
to the people of Europe that we can
protect them from death.
Real Point At Issue.
I do not say We ought to be moved
only by these considerations, and
not by consideration for the Jews.
I say We should be moved by con-
sideration for the Jews. The real
point Is that the two points are one
point.
Oppression is oppression, death is
death, massacre is massacre. To con-
fess our inability to keep Hitler from
killing the remaining two-thirds Of
European Jews, the last 1900, 900, Is
to confess our inability to halt op-
preston, death and massacre. Those
who would attempt to incite revolu-
tion against tyrant cannot afford
this confession of weakness before
him.
To let Hitler's challenge pass Is
to set up the theory that, in one
area Of European action. revolution,
uprising and overthrow are possible,
while In another area of European
action there Is no way to stop op-
preston, massacre, determination.
It IS q mad theory. Yet it is the
theory the West will declare to the
world If it calls upon the people
Of Europe to rise without showing
ability to stop the murder OF Jews.
Only the most naive student OF
revolution, only the most romantic
amateur of that science, could ig-
more the profoundly anti-revolution-
ary impact of 1900, 900 murders.

and now it is for his potential
service in saving the Republican
party from its isolationists and
reactionaries that 1t welcomes
his present decision" And finally,
I'VE shall count it a privilege to
do our utmost to aid him"
The announcement" to which
the editorial makes reference is a
decision to become a candidate
for the Republican presidential
nomination and to go into the
presidential preferential primary
States to garner as many dele
gates to the national convention
Of the COP as possible. While
Mr.. Willkie has himself made no
public announcement yet Of his
decision" to enter the presi-
Dental race and the primaries.
it was no secret that he intended
to do both. Possibly some public
statement from Mr.. Willkie now
will be made.
The Herald Tribune editorial
praised Mr.. Willkie also for TAX
ing definite stand on important
national and international poll
cies-and by implication damned
Gov. Brickerr of Ohio, recognized
as one Of the principal contenders
for the presidential nomination.
because he has not given "the
first shy hint rs to where he
stands with respect to postwar
problems" 1t added that Gov.
Bricker apparently intends to seek
delegates by preserving "a mas
terly silence toward the world
scene"
Question Of Timing.
It may be that q year from
now the world scene will be con-
siderably different from what it
is today-and that any remarks
Gov. Bricker has to make about
world affairs will be more timely
then than now. However, there
IS no slightest doubt that Re-
publicans who do not like Mr..
Wilkie because Of his interna-
tional views and because Of some
Of his liberal views on domestic
issues are thinking more and
more strongly Of Gov. Bricker.
There IS one large block of del
egates in the coming Republican
National Convention-those del
egates from the States Of the
South-which cannot be affected
by primary voting. simply be-
cause Republicans in those
States don't hold presidential
preferential primaries. Further
more, the delegates to the ma
tional conventions are usually
handpicked by the party leaders
in power.

According to reports from Tur-
key and the Balkans, the Axis
forces still holding q large por-
ton of Southern Russia are be-
ing removed inside the Dniester
River line.
Although there is little pressure
from the Red Armies In that
region, these reports indicate the
German -Rumanian divisions in
the Crimea are being slowly evac-
uated westward.
No fewer than % Nazi div1-
sions are now concentrated In
the Balkan area between the
Black Sea and the old Serbian
border. The size of the Nazi
forces in the mountains on the
Bulgarian frontier have recently
been increased.
In some military quarters 1t is
believed that q portion Of the
Nazi forces-about Is divisions
under the command of Marshal
Erwin Rommel is trying to hold
the Allies In North Africa with
an offensive-defensive type Of
warfare. Another large force is
being transferred to Western
Europe, where the main Allied
attack Is expected In the next
few months.
Sufficient Axis Forces.
But, according to the available
estimates Of Axis strength in
Europe, there still are sufficient
forces to enable the Berlin high
command to make an important
attempt to cut of the Allies from
their oil supplies In the Middle
East.
At present the bulk Of the oil
and gasoline being used by the
British forces east of Tunisia
comes from the large supply pool
in 1raq by way Of the two pipe
lines with terminals in Palestine
and Syria.
The main Allied effort Is neces-
sarily concentrated on the Nazis
in Tunisia. The bulk of the
Allied fleet operates In the West
ern Mediterranean and has the
task Of preventing the Nazis
from sending the maximum OF
reinforcements to Rommel. There
is only q relatively small naval
and air force In the Eastern Med
iterranean. This force Is not
likely to be strengthened until
we have cleared the whole OF
North Africa Of tho Axis.
Evening star., 1943-03-02
This Changing World
Axis Drive for Middle East Held Likely
With Best Allied Forces Tied Up in Tunisio

Under the circumstances, mill
tary observers who realize that
the Nazis are 50 desperate that
they might even use poison gas,
believe that a major diversion in
Asia Minor might be expected in
the next few weeks while the
Allies are making a major effort
to defeat Rommel.
Crete Seen rs Base.
The reports which have now
been confirmed that the Nazis
are making Crete into a second
Malta lend further credence to
the theory of a possible base in
the event such an operation
proved a failure or as an impor-
tant offensive base II the opera
tions proved a success.
Moreover, there are indications
that some Of the 20 divisions in
the Balkans are being moved to
the south. The general opinion
IS that this movement of troops
is being made with the view Of
forestalling any possible attempt
Of the American British forces to
move from across Africa to the
Balkans after Rommel has been
defeated.
But, some more skeptical mill
tary observers believe that the
Nazis, who have decided to main
tain themselves henceforth on
the defensive In Russia, might
try to stab the Allies In the back
by a landing In Syria or an at
tack on Turkey through the
Balkans.
Allies Weak In This Area.
The Allied forces in the area
In question are nowhere near as
well equipped and numerous as
they are in the Northwest Afri-
can area. They are composed Of
heterogeneous units and dispose
Of fewer armored and aviation
units than. the armies under tho
command Of Gen. Dwight Eisen-
hover. The Turks, should they
be drawn into the war by q Nazi
offensive action, have a large
and good army. but they lack
aviation and modern war equip
ment which would make them
into an exceptionally strong
fighting force.
It is true that one Of the re-
suits Of the meeting at Adana
between President Ismet Inonu
and Prime Minister Churchill
was an agreement to let Turkey
have sufficient modern war
equipment for her armies. But
the needs Of our forces in North
Africa, the needs for continual
support In war materials for the
Russian armies and preparations
for an offensive in Western Eu-
rope place heavy burden on the
Allied shipping, which has been
our Achilles heel since the out
break Of the war,
Consequently while every effort
Is being made to send war mate
rial to Turkey, 1t is doubtful
whether much has arrived as
yet. Should the Naz high COM
mand decide that an operation
In Asia Minor offers q good
chance Of success before Rommel
has been forced to give up the
Tunisian battle, military OBJ
servers in Washington believe, the
Germans may attempt It.

The Political Mill
WilIkie Drive for COP Nomination Launched;
New York Herald Tribune Takes Fling at Bricker

For one reason or another, del
egates from the Southern tier
OF States are considered rather
closely bound to Ohio. They sup
ported Chief Justice Taft when
he was renominated in 1872
against Col. Theodore Roosevelt.
And many of the delegates lined
up with Senator Robert A. Taft
In the 1910 race for the presi-
dental nomination. It would be
a surprise if work we're not being
done for Gov. Bricker in these
States at present. Willkie sup
porters beyond q doubt will
make bid for these Southern
delegates. Up to the present,
however, Republican politicians
in the South have not been par
ticularly friendly to Mr.. Willkie.
Bids for Party Boilers.
Former Representative John
O'Connor of New York, Demo-
crat, who does not like President
Roosevelt or any part OF the New
Deal administration, recently
wrote a letter to former Gov.
Landon OF Kansas, uring that
the Republicans make alliance
with the anti-New Deal Demo-
Gratis and cement the alliance by
nominating 4 Democrat for the
vice presidency. A similar sug-
gestion was made in l940-but 1t
got nowhere. Some Republican
leaders, commenting on the pro-
posal, say that 1t is too early to
reach decision in this matter.
But presumably If anything like
it is to be attempted some un-
derstanding would have to be
reached with the anti-New Deal
Democrats before the convention
meets. There will be plenty OF
Republican candidates for the
vice presidential nomination.
Furthermore, 1t would be use
less to place Democrat on the
ticket, one Republican leader
said, unless that Democrat had
something really to denver-as,
for example, James A. Farley,
who might bring q large follow
ing to the Republican ticket in
States where 1t would count. Mr..
Farley could only be regarded as
a possibility for a vice presiden-
tial nomination If the Democrats
are to nominate President Roose-
velt for q fourth term. Whether
he would jump the Democratic
party to run with 4 Republican
even under such circumstances is
problematical. Other Democrats
whose names Mr.. O'Connor sug-
sested to Mr.. Landon for the vice
presidential nomination include
Senator Byrd Of Virginia and
Senator Wheeler of Montana.
There Is no doubt that If Mr..
Roosevelt is renominated strenu-
Gus efforts will be made to line
up anti-New Deal and anti
fourth-term Democrats either to
vote with the Republicans in the
presidential race or to support an
independent Democratic ticket.
II is more or less common these
days for the New Dealers to dis
count talk Of Democratic defec-
tions from President Roosevelt.
They have seen Democratic lead
ers Of former years-for example,
al Smith-turn away from the
Roosevelt ticket without causing
q defeat. But 1T present the
size Of the Democratic detection
seems likely to be much greater
than in the past.
