Whatever Front ItIs

The old argument about second front goes merrily on, with all sorts of useless differences aS to whether the Italian front is the second or the third ~ and if 1t is the third, where is the Second2 Mos COW says there isn't any second, and will we please bring one on, in a hurry.
 Really, does 1t matter whether the front in Italy is the second, the third, the fourth or fifth? In spite of all denialS from Russia, the Italian front is doing what the long sought second front" was intended to do, and to that extent the argument seems pretty fruitlesS.
 Russia wanted a second front to pull Nazi troops out of the east - originally to relieve the pressure of German offens- i've, and later to soften the arrnor of Ger man resistance. This the Italian front has done.
 It is in no way detracting from the marvellous job done by the Red armies to point out that their present rapid prog ress is made possible by the fact that Hitler has taken enormous numbers of men and quantities of equipment off the Russian front to meet the Anglo American threat coming up from the Mediterranean, and to replace Italian forces no longer in the war.
 The number of Nazis pulled off the Russian front has not been made known, although our intelligence service un- doubtedly could guess rather accurately. It includes not only those who are actu- ally facing the Anglo-American invasion forces but many times that number who are waiting to see where we shall strike next.
 We, like Premier Stalin, would like to see front, be it second or third or what ever, in France. It looks like the shortest way to Berlin. But our reason for favor ing that route is not necessarily the same as that of MT. Stalin. He would like to see us concentrate in the west, where he has no immediate ambitions, if any at all, and leave to him the Balkans area where Russian interest is strong.
 We are interested in winning the war wherever it can be won. If victory can come quickest by an Anglo-American 1n- vasion of the Balkans before the cross channel climax, we can't be greatly wor- ried by postwar ambitions So far as we are concerned, the front designed to dis tract Nazis from Russia now exists We shall develop that front to the limit, and leave it to historians to decide whether it is the Second Front.

A Thought for Today
Progressive Distraction

President Roosevelt expresses agree ment with General MacArthur that the war against Japan can not be won by iS- land-hopping. This is the confirmed opinion of almost all the more intelligent military and naval leaders. Lieut.-Col. Frederick s. Wildman, one of the top men In planning our air offensive, says that Japan can be defeated most quickly by progressive destruction from the air of critical industrial, economic and military targets, accompanied by continued attri- ton of Nipponese shipping, already strained in the effort to maintain over- stretched supply lines. This viewpoint is the more acceptable because it in- wolves minimum cost in American lives and those of our Allies. It is to be as- sumed that if Colonel Wildman expresses official Allied strategic policy, the quasi island hopping we have been doing is working toward bombing bases from which to launch the aerial blitzkrieg against Tojo's islands.
 Thus far, of course, we have done Jap an no vital damage. This can not come until we have the bases, and the planes at them from which to plaster vital Jap anese installations much as we have been pounding the Reichland. It is not easy
  ouer the desired island, and clean up its Vicinity sufficiently so that we won't fear losing it the moment it becomes useful. Then we have to back airfields out of the jungle. Some, of course, we take from the Japs and restore to usefulness. To acquire enemy-held airdromes and sites has been the object of every offensive in the Pacific area up to now, according to Lieut.. Col. William G. Hipps of the Gen. eral Staff Corps.
 But the Japs probably do not have enough bases, if we took them all, to han dle the bombing operation by which, thelr homeland will be softened for the kill. So we must capture, and build, while we pre- pare planes and pilots and bombs 10 go Oo work on Tokyo. It may be long time before we are ready. When that time comes, the devastation that will be wrought probably will have been unparal- leled in air war history.

Where Our Money Goes

Charles E. Wilson, executive vice chair man of the WIPE, says that next year the United States will have to produce So billion dollars worth of armament to meet its war reuirements. This year we expect to turn out around 65 billion dollars worth.
 Counting so fast that ones tongue twis- ted around itself, from morning to night, every day in the year, it would require 40o years to count by one to 80 billion. But perhaps there is better way to visualize the enormity of what, in single year, we must create for the destructive purposes of war.
 All real estate-land and buildings and corporate franchises in New York City are valued at only 16 billion dollars. So the armament, munitions and war supplies to be produced next year can De visualized physically as equivalent to more than four New York cities, com plete from the subsoil up-all five oor- oughs.

Fifth Rate Power

1n support of the thesis that this courl- ~, after the war, must get busy and put ns merchant marine on permanent ba- eis. the New York Times cites figures for the last pre-war year, 1888, that make the United States seem distinctly fifth rate.
 Disregarding the British, traditionally the worlds ocean carriers, it appears that Germany, supposedly handicapped after World War I, carried 58 per cent of its own cargo in its own ships. Italy, mi nor leaguer, carried 46 per cent of its own cargoes. Japan, the backward, shipped TO per cent of its cargo in its own bottoms. But the United States provided Amer jeans ships for only 25 per cent of our foreign trade.
 We can't afford to go back to that in- ferior position.

(bl Economically possible but undesirable? (cl Desirable but impossible? (d) Eco nornicaIly possible and desirable?
 Less than one out of five considers such 4 nroeram both possible and desirable; tnIv two out Of five would want it if we enssId have it. Three out of five think it .Hndeslfahle. even if it were possible.
 We agree with the three out of five. But zIs would be interested In knowing what inc maes of the people would say. We mould expect different response.

Government Profit

The Postoffice Department made $SS,- 000000 on domestic airmail in the last fiscal year as compared with less than 8 fourth as much in 1941-42 and loss Of more than $13,000,000 ten years ago.
 This represents profit approximately 54 per cent of the gross business done. The airmail letter on which you paid six cents cost Uncle Sam somewhat less than three cents to handle, including payments to airlines, airmail postofficeS, supple rnentary railroad mail services, etc.
 If this keeps up, perhaps when more planes are available Uncle Sam will re- member what Woolworth discovered m the five-and-tenS.

The War Department has built up its officer personnel now to the point where it is becoming very choosy about candl- dates for commissions. More than 2O6,- 900 men have been graduated to their gold bars (they used to be called shave tails in the old days) and have started working their ways upward.
 This means that fewer enlisted men are being sent to train for commissions. But the way to promotion is not forecioseo. Good men in the ranks still can apply TOT officerhood with reasonable hope or sue cess. The only change is that thelr per sonalities and characters, their eouca, tions and experience, their demonstrated devotion to duty and moral, lnteliectuai and physical courage, & wlll sa,.tofors De 1uoseo

 Jeffers did not disclose that &C., tual production of tires Is. falling 50 per cent behind schedule. The synthetic rubber is coming out in good quality, but the job of con. verting that rubber into tires is tagging dangerously.
 Exact figures cannot be disclosed for reasons of security, but .of- ficials here do not conceal the fact that the production of tires, month by month, is only SO to 60 per cent of the estimates of the Rubber Directors office.
 Synthetic rubber began conn
 ing out of the factories around
 Jan. l, and all new tires for civilian purposes have been made
 of wholly synthetic rubber since
 the first of April.
 But there are severe shortages of fabric material, tire-malking equipment, and manpower. These shortages, rather than rubber, are holding back new tires.
 This is why OPO has denied most motorists the right to buy new tires. Until a few days ago, anybody who drove as much as 24i miles a month (Only 6 miles .day) could get a certificate for a new tire if an old tire wore out.
 Now the figure has been upped to 601 miles a month. This means that 75 per cent of U. g.. cars will be eligible for only grade three used tires.
 Dealers today have working inc vent0rles' of new tires amounting to only one million, as against @ desired figure of four million, and @ normal peacetime figure of 16 million. {.
 NOTE: Most serious Is the truck tire situation. Current require ments call for 70o,000 new truck tires per month, but spokesmen for the Industry warn that not more than 300.000 should be ex- pected. HAMA .4".

"F'oras much. as this is done of three, O king, and thou hast not kept my covenants and my statutes, which I have commanded thee, I will surely rend the kingdom from thee, and will give 1t to thy ser- vants."
 Let no one think that God is sitting apart in the heavens utterly above this war and far removed in every particular from 1t. The Bible teaches us that Gods purpose runs through all things, and that through these mighty episodes He plunges His divine plan like Q mighty sword.

ROME
(New York Times)

(New York TimesO
 Rome will not be saved by Q mira cle, and there is little hope that 1t will be spared by the Nazis. They wish to destroy 1t, or to make 1t a target for Allied fire, because they know 1t is precious to their enemies. They know that the city and all 1t contains represents something we wish to guard and that is lost to them forever. They cannot hold 1t: they cannot conquer 1t; all they can do is wreck 1t, and this they will surely do unless by some grand maneuver the Allies are able to divert the main German forces and thus prevent the urban area from becoming the decisive battle field. The push of the Eighth Army, which has already drawn strong enemy contingents toward the Adriatic, suggests that this is the objective of our strategy.
 If 1t were only a position to be lost or won in the course of the battle for Italy, the western world would not watch the armies clos- ing in on Rome with so much hope and dread. More than any place we have fought for, we feel instinc- lively that Rome is the symbol of what we fight for and what the Nazis fight again. They fight the more desperately because the gods they tried to set up nave already been over-thrown. Fascism has suf- fered a moral defeat in Rome as final as the fall of the broken images that are buried in the gar- dens of the Caesars. Across from the mighty remains of the baths of Caracalla, a bare and primitive little church, named for two Roman martyrs, has stood through the cen- turies as sign to all who pass of the power of the pagan world
