KEY TO STRATEGY

Russia and its manpower are
realistically viewed here as the key
to European war strategy. So long
as the Russians hold the Axis in
the east, the British and American
forces can invade from the west or
south of Europe. And the next
invasion step apparently is immi-
nent. Just as the Axis foretold the
United States movement toward
North Africa last autumn by OBJ
serving concentrations of sea pow
er in and around Gibraltar, so they
now are diagnosing a new move.
The natural step from the Tu-
nisian extremity where Rommels
remnants were cornered and cap
tured last month is across a 90
mile stretch of the Mediterranean
sea TO the island of Sicily. BY
taking Sicily and the island of Sar-
DINA to the west, two tiny dots of
islands to the south and the is
land Of Crete in the Eastern Med
iterranean, that sea would be sub
stantially in United Nations con-
llOl. II ID DCllCNCd bllcRb NpNAi'
Dwight d. Eisenhower is preparing
to take those islands, two or three
at a time-and very soon.
That such a major thrust toward
the soft Axis underhelly would be
accompanied by feints in force
against Western Europe is a rea-
sonable expectation. Those feints
might come anywhere along the
coast Of Europe from Spain north
ward TO and including Norway. 1t
all adds up to a siCation in which
the United Nations apparently are
committed this year to establishing
their military forces on the conti-
nent of Europe preliminary to a
1914 spring campaign calculated to
blast Germany to unconditional sur
render.
