British And Canadians
Plurging Toward Rom e

bitter delaying action to keep the
Allies away from The German Dor
der.
From Reggie Calabria it is more
than 300 land miles to Rome and
another $50 air line miles to the
Bremen Pass, whose approaches
yesterday felt the explosive blows
of Flying Fortresses for the first
time.
The Germans and Italians have
had months to prepare fortifica-
tons on the intervening noun
tains overhanging the Goa S al
roads which are the most feast
BILE routes of invasion. Most of
the German forces. however, are
believed entrenched in northern
Italy.
But political repercussions from
the invasion may play an even
more important part than the mil
itary factors involved. The strike
into Sicily routed Mussolini and
his Fascists and installed the Ba.
doglio regime which thus far has
held a war-weary people largely
in check. Obviously Allied lead
ers hope the new invasion will
knock out Italy, and open the first
glazing crack in the Axis camp.

also about the status of eastern
Asia. Precisely because the prob
lens are so pregnant and so sub
stantial. we must not trivialize
them by imagining that the three
chiefs can get together, sit down.
at the same table. and charm one
another into an agreement.
If all that is at stake were the
affirmation of our common desire
to make war on our enemies such
a meeting would be easy enough
to arrange. 1t would. however, be
in the main bit of propa ganda.
impressive for the moment, soon
forgotten in the impact of events.
W. 70 better. therefore, to ac-
cept he view expressed by MI.
Churchill at Quebec, that the spec
tacular meeting with Stain is to
be brought about when the sub
stance of an agreement has al
ready been achieved by the dip
lomats.
If we take this view, we shall
then say that the meeting will
mark the moment when we have
made sure of winning not only
the war but the peace. 1t will then
be. as in the nature Of our rela-
tons with Russia it must be, an
historic and decisive event a n d
not a propa gandist maneuver.
For IN the largest and also in
the deepest sense the winning of
the peace is an operation in two
stages: the first has been to con-
solidate the working partnership
and community of the British ma
lions and the American republics:
the second is to reach a depend
able understanding between them
ard Russia about the settlement
of Europe and eastern Asia. If
the western community can reach
this understanding with Russia,
and reinforce it with the consent
of our other allies. we shall have
won the peace. For the solution
of this problem makes soluble,
without fear of renewal of wal,
all the other problems which vex
the nations.
We are playing, therefore, for
the highest stakes, for the means
to make sure that our enemies
will not be able to make another
bid for the conquest Of the world,
to make sure that we shall not
set the stage for the division OF
the United Nations into two or
more hostile coalitions.
The formation of an agreement
with Russia is the deciding event
in the formation of reasonably
stable postwar order. For if, and
only if. London and Washington
can agree with Moscow, can Ger
many be rendered harmless, can
the small nations be free and no
longer pawns in the politics OF
nower. can China have the chance
to develop which she has so richly
earned.
It is not in the mechanics of
collective security" not in blue
prints of "co-operation'' that we
must look initially and fundamen-
tally for the guaranty of a lasting
neace. We must look for it first
in the agreement between the west
ern community, which faces the
Atlantic Ocean, and the gre a t
Russian state which is the heart
of the Eurasian continent.
With that agreement, We shall
have the substance of which col
lective security is the form and
outward shape. Without that agree
