I'D Rather Be Rioht'
United Nations Must Seize Opportunity Now,
Before Axis Extricutes Itself From Crisis

Fuehrer would have still more un-
finished business.
When a crisis stage has been
reached, every increase in pressure,
every additional turn of the screw,
yields these double and quadruple
dividends. The blow in Tunisia
makes Nazi armies surrender. But
it also sends Italians running down
the roads at home, and emboldens
Finnish labor. We get these second
and third benefits for nothing. And
these can lead to fourth and fifth
benefits, of kinds unforeseen and
unforseeable, but, by almost law
of nature, good for us and bad for
the enemy.
This is the moment when we are
at last ready to present Hitler with
choices as bad as were Napoleons
famous alternatives on the road
back to Smolensk: whether to re-
treat slowly, and have to fight the
Russians, or TO travel quickly, and
kill his horses.
This is crisis, which must be
caught when it is new, and used
while it is fresh. Only If we let
the crisis pass, and give Hitler
time, can We restore that freedom
of choice whose loss has made him
prisoner of the war, If not yet
a prisoner of war.

vation. Flying Fortresses which
at one time, particularly after the
fall of France in 1910, were de-
scribed as being as good as a
sick headache, will play an i'm
portant role in future military
developments on the Atlantic and
Pacific fronts.
The trouble with the Maginot
Line was that the men behind it
were downhearted; their morale
was shot to pieces and the high
command had failed them badly.
There was nothing wrong, ac-
cording to competent military
observers. with the line itself;
the chief trouble lay with its
defenders, who felt betrayed by
the political leaders in Paris.
The much-feared "blitzes" of
the Nazi forces were possible only
because the opponents they
tackled were completely helpless.
They were fighting the war with
1918 equipment and strategy.

Surprise Less a Factor.
The element of surprise must
now be discounted. There are
only certain given areas where
Allied forces can be landed. With

the theory that it was "forgiving"

The ordinary man does not
think he is being forgiven any,

Ruml plan merely makes him

would have changed the result.
The Republicans have another
shot at the Ruml plan, when
the bill comes back from the
Senate. Their leaders propose
to move to concur in the Sem

a substitute >for the Forand-

If they are not permitted to

Emperor turned and ran, though no

We are in that kind of period

from the big cities, sending their
families to the comparative safety

Yet the big events have taken

has had some extra bombing; not
much more. But the beam has
been tipped. Itsly's trains and

And when one is impelled, one can
no longer make free choices. To
put it another way, situation has
been reached in which all the choices
are bad.
