SO far, many of us back home have

chair. Many of us have bought War Bonds

miss too much. We haven't been really
tough with ourselves.
But this war is a hard, dOwn-toreality
war. And many of our boys are dying in it.
We've got to buy MORE
So your government asks you to buy
Bonds and more Bonds-to get really tough
with yourself. We're asking you to give up
the frills and extras
We know how human it is not to make
sacrifices until the crisis drives us to it. In
England they felt the same way until the
bombs started falling.
Bombs are such persuasive things. But
just as persuasive ought to be the spirit of
our brothers, sons, husbands.
II you could see
Look at it this way-suppOse you had a
magic carpet that could take you to Africa
and New Guinea. Suppose you could hear
the grOan of American boys wounded, and
American boys dying. :. Say now, how
many Bonds would you buy?

BY CONSTANTINE BROWN.

Allied military leaders are try
Ing to guess what the German
strategy in the next few months
will be.
The battle between the Rus
slams and the Germans continues
to be on gigantic scale as far
as the territory it covers is con-
cerned.
But from indications the Ger
mans are not engaging their
main forces. Strong rear guards,
composed of several divisions in
each important sector, are fight
ing desperately to permit the
bulk of the forces which can be
saved to withdraw further west.
In the last four weeks, the
Nazis have never attempted once
to re-establish their positions,
which in some cases they could
have done by throwing in fresh
reserves. According to reports
from competent observers, the
main concern of the Nazi high
command was to evacuate as
many troops as possible with
minimum loss. And this they
have partially succeeded in doing.
May Counterattack Later.
Where the main German line
of resistance will be established
is difficult to say. 1t appears
probable that Germany's gen.
erals are attempting to draw the
Russians as far as possible from
their main supply lines and
counterattack when they are far
enough to experience difficulty
in providing their forces with the
necessary "inexhaustible" amount
of shells and gasoline.
Although some Nazi units
which had been located in West
ern Europe have now been sent
to the eastern theater of opera
tions, the feeling among compe-
tent military officers Is that these
divisions may have been returned
to Germany after a period of
service In France or Norway and
from the central pool in the
Reich they may have been rushed
to the eastern front.
According to these observers,
the Nazis have not weakened in
the least their forces which are
to defend the German fortress"
from European bastions. On the
contrary, more troops from the
central pool have been added to
the armies commanded by Gen.
Gerd Won Rundstedt to protect
any possible area through which
the Allies might attempt to
break into the European conti-
nent.
But the main Nazi effort now

This Changing World
Guessing at Germony's Immediate Strategy
lntrieues Military Broins of Allies

seems to be centered on the
Mediterranean area. Despite
heavy losses suffered by the Axis
transports in their effort to
make Tunisia impregnable, more
troops and particularly war sup
plies are being rushed to Bizerte
and the other Tunisian ports.
The losses of the enemy are
estimated at three out of every
five ships which attempt to cross
the straits. The Nazis, however,
disregard the losses and continue
to pour in forces and supplies.
Whether they intend to take the
offensive before the forces under
Gen. Dwight Eisenhower have
had chance to complete their
concentration or whether they
merely want to maintain them
selves defensively in Tunisia
throughout the summer is
matter which the Allied high
command has not yet been able
to establish.
All that is definite is that the
Axis forces in that somewhat linz
tied area are being reinforced
daily and important defensive
works are being constructed by
forced labor under supervision of
German engineers.
Heavy Toll Forecast.
This positive information has
led President Roosevelt, Prime
Minister Churchill and various
high officials in the United States
and Great Britain to warn that
the operations contemplated in
Tunisia will take a heavy toll of
life.
1t was fortunate that the
Nazis did not do as thorough a
job in Tripoli as had been ex-
pected. The harbor of Tripoli
is of vital Importance for the
British 9Th Army under Gen.
B. L. Montgomery.
When the Axis abandoned
that port the destruction ap-
peared at first as very complete
and it was believed that 1t would
require at least three months
to put the port and its facili-
tes into shape again. Fortu-
nately, this was not so. British
engineers got to work and
Tripoli already is being utilized
by the Allies as base of sup
plies for the 9th Army.
AS result Gen. Montgomery
has been able to take to the
Tunisian border larger force
than the motorized spearhead
with which he was chasing the
Afrika Korps. The British Army
which has penetrated Tunisia in
several points already is better
prepared for an offensive than
had been anticipated some weeks
ago.

tlOnS 10 mass lntluenceS ana ae-
gressive leaders, which can make
them the terror of the earth.
If this, our republic, should
ever get the idea, with a party
In power to back it up, that
America alone is Gods country
and that it is our business to
dominate the global skies in
order to protect American inter-
eSts. and prevent dictators ris-
ing" anywhere who might try to
do the same thing as We, we
should soon find a philosophy to
justify the theory that manifest
destiny had appointed us as its
sole instrument. Then We should
develop all the characteristics Of
Nazi society.
We would not be Just like the
German Nazis, but we wouldn't
be any nicer, or more loved than
they. We should eventually have
the whole world ganged up
against US, as the Nazis have.
World Becomes Small.
The lesson of aviation is that
all people now live on a terribly
small planet, no frontiers can be
made impregnable, and no seas
are moats. In the ether above
us, no lines can be drawn to
indicate here starts this nation
and here that. The sky is the
element of mankind. Domi-
mated by one nation, we have
tyranny. Ungoverned, the air,
and therefore the world, is
handed over to anarchy.
We lived in international an
archy ever since the birth of
nations. In the world of yeSter-
day, when total war had not
been invented and the ether
had not become the chief battle
ground, we could endure inter-
national lawlessness and survive.
In the world of today and to-
morrow, we cannot.
But a supernatural law can
not be created or enforced by q
single nation or even by an
alliance of nations against other
nations. There is a total global
war and there must be total
global peace. The victorious
must create world common
wealth and the conquered must
join it. That ought to be the
first item on the peace treaty.
Germany, Italy and Japan must
be forced to join the United
Nations. That will make it
unanimous. Secession will be
the unpermitted crime.
Eventual Doom in Wars.
There is no peace without law.
There is no law without govern
ment. 1t Is impossible to dis
miss that simple statement OF
fact as "idealistic." Until there
is a law above nations, we shall
continue to have anarchy and
war.
Mankind, as creature of
civilization and culture, may sur
vive another two or three wars,
but not more. If, after this war,
we have not the intelligence and
decency to create a world gov
ernment open to all on equal
terms, we shall deserve the fate
that will befall not us, but our
surviving children.
And II leaders arise to tell

On the Record
By DOROTHY THOMPSON.


The least realistic thinking in
this country is being done by
those who reply to every projec-
ton of a reasonable world with
the epithet. 'idealistic." To con-
found the acknowledgment that
facts require radical revisions OF
past international behavior, with
the "wiShful dreams of idealists'
can lead to the destruction of
the civilization of man on this
earth.
1t is already fashionable to
howl down every reasonable hope
for the future, with the prophecy
that it will make America the
sucker of the world. Thus our
"Realists' (Self-styled) are be-
ginning to lay the ground for
illimitable suffering in the fu-
ture.
They are, for instance, setting
their faces against any program
which has even chance to elm
mate war from this world. Their
attitude Is that the Western
Hemisphere can make herself so
strong that no one will dare
cross her interests, or attack her.
With High Nationalism.
Their picture of the future is
of an immensely armed peace
with nationalism unrestricted.
For the first time in her history,
America is to have huge perma-
nent standing Army, two-ocean
Navy and an air force superior at
all times to any that can be Gre
ated by single rival nation or
any combination of rival nations.
Leaving out Of account the
probability that no such Amer
lea would long remain free
democracy, the program greatly
overrates the potential of Amer
lea in the world picture. Such
a program would throw us i'm
mediately into ruthless competi-
tive power politics.
We shall doubtless emerge at
the end of the war as the strong
est single power. But we would
not be permitted by the rest of
the world to retain for long an
interchangeable and unique su-
periority. Those who are today
our Allies would regard us
possible future menace and draw
closer to each other.
This picture is realistic, based
on the long established behavior
Of nations In a world governed
by power politics.
Air Power Race Possible.
After this war, the greatest
single problem will be the con-
troll of the air. Armed air power
has not only to an immense ex-
tent supplanted classical armed
sea power-it is sea power, as 1t
Is land power. Unless from the
outset we limit armed air power
to q police system, open to all
nations who will live under law,
we shall see the start of a new
armament race In these weapons,
which have already become the
baby-killing horror Of mankind.
The theory that some nations
of men are, by the laws of God
and nature, eternally virtuous
and peaceful, while others are
damned with congenital sin, is
very dangerous nonsense. 1t is
realistic truth that all men are
sinners and that those groups of
mankind called nations are all
susceptible under certain condi-
