, Russia could undertake with far less risk
of possible disaster.
Admiral STANDBY, who after all only
complained that the Russian government
does not advertise the extent of Amer
ican aid to that country must be little
surprised by the tempest which his re-
marks have aroused. What would have
been the reaction if he had emulated
Stains franlsness by s~-ertinG that the
Sccondfront argument is applicable for
Russia also?
Eject Is Ii urbirr
The remarks of the American AmbaS-
Sadcr to Russia were certainly far less
blunt and fortnight than many which
Premier Stain has made himself. Yet
their effect is more disturbing. The eX-
planation of this parodoX is found in the
theory that it is desirable for us to re-
gard Russia as one of the United Nations
even though Russia herself continuously
makes clear that she disclaims that def
milton.
1t Is now nearly six months since
Stain, in a statement prepared for the
~NS~~S'N'SSSA
cow, demanded that the Allies fulfill
their obligations fully and on time"
With the Germans then in partial occu-
patton of Stalingrad a certain curtness
of expression was wholly natural But
the language used in this statement was
that of an associated power, thinking
in terms Of ad hoe agreement and not of
permanent unity.
A month later, in his speech of No
vember 6, the Russian Premier an
nounced that: 1T is not our aim to de-
stroy all military force in Germany" He
further asserted that such compulsory
disarmament, in the event of Nazi de-
feat, would not only be impossible" but
also 'inadvisable from the point of view
of the victor"
Whether or not that argument is rea-
sonable is at the moment an academic
question. The point is that it runs
counter to one of the tenets of the At
lantic Charter and to one of the prin-
ciples on which the majority of the
United Nations are agreed. For Great
Britain and the United States at any
rate, the compulsory disarmament of
Germany is announced as basic war
aim.
At Casablanca, where Prime Minister
Churchill and President Roosevelt de-
cided on the policy of unconditional
surrender" there was, by Stains deci-
sion, no Russian representation. And
more recently, in his Order of the Day
for February %. the Russian Premier
twice took occasion to say that the Red
Army objective is to drive the German
invaders from the borders of our coun-
try"
This was Immediately after President
Roosevelt, in his address on Lincoln's
birthday, had envisaged "the day when
United Nations forces march in triumph
through the streets of Berlin Rome and
Toxic" 1t was as though Stain had
said: Include us out"
In all this there is no necessary in
consistency, provided that Russia is re-
garded as an associated power, as was
the United States in the last war, and
not as full-fedged and deeply y-com-

Forced Changed Strategy.

The Germans have suffered consider
able losses in the two Russian cam
paigns. But they would not have suf-
fered so much had it not been for the
United States and Britain. without them,
military observers are convinced that the
Nazis could have held their winter quar-
ters against the Russian attacks and pre-
pared for another spring offensive in the
Caucasus.
But the invasion of North Africa and
preparations for an invasion of Europe
compelled the Nazi high command to re-
consider Its entire strategy, give up most
of the territories it had conquered in the
East since June 20, 1941, and concentrate
a powerful reception committee" for the
American and British forces.
From the military point of view, the
invasion of North Africa last November
was poor operation. We entered North
Africa at time when the heavy rainy
season began and no military man be-
lieved that if the Germans could muster
any force at all in Tunisia we could make
headway before the rains ceased.
To most military men the operations
appeared to have been based on political
rather than military considerations. And
there Is a good deal of truth in this
theory. The Russians were disgruntled
people in America and in England gave
the impression of not being satisfied with
our lack of military virtue while the
Russians were bleeding so profusely.
Evening star., 1943-03-14

Moreover. the heads Of the western
United Nations had feeling that if we
did nothing more than send supplies to
the Russian armies, the Nazis might sue
ceed in smashing them.
Yet the minor operation" in North
Africa has had tremendous repercussions
on the eastern front.
Nazis Greatly Alarmed.
From the day the American and Brit
ish forces set foot in North Africa the
Nazi high command has been alarmed.
Within months they dispatched to Tu-
nisia no fewer than 100000 to 25000O
first-class troops. The Afrika Korps al
ready was in North Africa. But the men
in that force did not exceed 10000 The
rest had to be sent from continental Eu-
rope.
For more than one reason the Nazis
did not dare send troops who were not
sufficiently trained. First of all, the Brit
ish 1st and 9th Armies were composed OF
veterans who had been fighting since the
outbreak of the war.
Sending unframed youngsters from the
pool in the Reich against these men
was to invite disaster. The German high
command does not share the point Of
view of Herr Joseph Goebbels' propa-
ganda about the raw Americans They
realize, Of course that our men in North
Africa did not have active combat train
ing, but the German generals do not un-
derestimate the Americans fighting
power. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in
particular knows this we'll
The Nazi high command is reported
taking most serious view of the proba-
bility of an Allied invasion and realizes
the fatal consequences for the Reich
should the Western Allies succeed in
breaking through the first line of defense
in France, Belgium, Holland or Norway.
1t may be that for the purpose of prop
aganda the Nazi newspapers and broad
casting stations describe the pledges
given by Mr.. Roosevelt and Mr.. Church.
i'll as pure bluff. But neither the Berlin
Foreign Office nor the high command has
this point of view.
Dieckhoff's Warning.
According to reliable reports from the
Nazi capital, the high command places
a good deal Of confidence in what the
specialists of the foreign Office have to
say. They have lived outside the Reich
for a good many years and while they
may have been deficient in tact they have
carefully studied the mentality Of the
people with whom they have lived for
some time.
For instance, as far back as 1888 the
former German Ambassador to Washing
ton, Herr Hans Dieckhoff, sent warnings
to Berlin that the United States would
be at war with the Reich within period
of two years if Germany attacked Great
Britain.
He missed his guess by a few months
while most of the people in this country
believed that cnly a handful Of crazy
warmongers and sensation seekers
thought we would pecoine involved in
another World War.
And these Nazi agents who work on the

Worried Nazis Await Showdown
When Allies Launch Invasion
Second Front Must Come Soon, They Realize, and
Military Leaders Do Not Underestimate
American Fighting Qualities
Bv Constantine BroaCn.

The campaign for the conquest of
Tunisia is likely to be longer than was
at first anticipated. But it is unlikely
that the inevitable delay will have any
bearing on the offensive Of the American
and the British forces in Western Eu-
rope.
Regardless of how difficult the con-
templated invasion may be or how many
men may have to be lost in such a cam
paign, military quarters in Washington
and London feel that large scale in
vasicn Of Europe and not major raid
has now become a must" which can no
longer be avoided
President Roosevelt and Prime Minis
ter Churchill have placed themselves
definitely on record in the name of their
respective countries to smash up the Axis
forces in Europe and to begin this oper-
alton no later than this year. The people
in Europe and in this country expect
the two leaders to live up to their pledges.
Since an offensive can hardly begin
in the late fall or winter it is safe to
assume that the attack against the wall
which the Nazis have erected all along
the Western European front-from Mar
vik to Spain-will begin as soon as
weather conditions will allow amphibious
operations protected by huge umbrellas
of aircraft.
In spite of the many complaints We
continue to hear from Moscow that we
are sitting tight in England and in the
United States and letting the Russian
armies bleed to death, there is no ques-
ton that our invasion of North Africa
and the solemn pledges of Mr.. Roosevelt
and Mr. Churchill have already had an
important effect on the Nazi strategy
and have considerably assisted the VIC
tories of the Soviet armies against the
