Era of the Pacific

In speaking at Seattle on his re-
turn from Asia, Vice President Wal

1t materializes, will be blessing not
only to the Chinese, to the Russians
and to ourselves. but to the whole
world as well. He describes it as

II 1t develops as he hopes, the eco
nomic Well-being Of hundreds of
millions Of individuals will be well
served and international stability
and an enduring peace will be much

panding economy in one of the few
regions OF the earth where human
and natural resources still remain
largely unexpected. Me calls this

The same idea has been expressed
many times before by Mr.. Wallace
and others; yet, though it seems
almost self-evident, it merits en-
phasis.
The development of China, as the
Vice President points out, presents a
totally different problem from that

government, great strides have al

East and since the area is alert to
Its opportunities, postwar progress

The Red Tide Rolls On

A survey of the eastern front
makes it hard to restrain that soar
ing optimism against which Gen.
eral Eisenhower has just cautioned
us. With each passing day the
sweep of the Soviet armies gathers
momentum and the plight of their
German opponents grows graver.
The main theater of Russian sue
cess continues to be the 4OO-mile
sector from the valley of the Dvina
to the Pripet Marshes. Throughout
this extensive region the Germans
seem unable to recover from a series
OF defeats which began at Vitebsk,
was intensified at Minsk and is
continuing with ominous regularity,
The most significant aspect is that
the Russians have already overcome
the chief natural obstacles which
barred their path. The swamps and
forests of White Russia are behind
them. Ahead, the country is more
open, more settled, and with better
roads. Wilma has already been BY
passed and its German garrison is
in process of liquidation. Further
southwark the Germans still possess
a number of strong points such as
BreSt-Litovsk, but it is doubtful If
these are better defended than
their White Russian bastions, which
were so rapidly overwhelmed. The
Bug and Vistula Rivers in Central
Poland are genuine obstacles, but
they cannot compare with the Don
and Dnieper, which Soviet engineers
successfully coped with. Indeed.
Poland is geographically an undif-
ferentiated part of the vast plain
which extends westward into the
heart of Germany, including Berlin.

normally ideal campaigning weather
for large-scale mechanized warfare.
Judging by it's initial phases, the
Soviet war machine may grind on
fast and far before the autumn.
Only two things can conceivably
halt the Russian offensive. One of
these is the ability of the German
high command to marshal sufficient
reserves to restore the upset stra-

How T. R. Did 1t

President Roosevelt's procedure in
announcing his availability for a
fourth term had at least a partial
parallel. Readers aged half a CEN
tury or more remember how his
redoubtable cousin, the famous T. r.,
made known that he was willing to
run again in 1912. The files of The
Star recall that on February 10 of
that year the Republican Governors
Of West Virginia. Nebraska, New
Hampshire, Wyoming, Michigan,
Kansas and Missouri, assembled at
Chicago "for the purpose of con-
Sidering what will best insure the
continue ton of the Republican
Party as a useful agency OF good
government" had notified him by
letter that they believed "a large
majority of the people" favored
his election and that 'in view Of
this public demand" he should soon
declare whether, if the nomination
for the presidency" came to him
unsolicited and unsought" he would
accept it.
Such an invitation obviously re-
duired carefully considered reply.

Algiers delegates. He refrained from
doing 1t and all the odds are that he
will not do 1t in the future. However,
Algiers Is not ready to dismiss the whole
problem from its mind as utterly neeli-
gible
What will be the British reaction to
the issue, assuming that the American
position. as indicated yesterday, is
a lasting and rigid one. which is doubted
by some? This was discussed at length
today in diplomatic circles.
= *4*
The six arrangements which French
and British negotiators have committed
to paper-it was explained more than
once in London-are not to become
binding on Great Britain until Amer
lcan approval has been secured But
does it follow that the British cabinet
would tomorrow. for instance, regard
itself at liberty to join in new instruc-
tions to Gen Eisenhower which might
involve denying to the Algiers Commit
tee in Brittany or in Provence the
function it now performs in Normandy?
To answer that query, heed must be
paid to the fact that all instructions
to the Allied commander in chief are
drafted in the Chiefs of Staf1 Combined
Committee where Americans and Brit
ish work comparatively. In all proba
oility. British diplomacy will insist on
American adherence to the precedent
created in Normandy.
AS to the measure of authority vested
in Gen. Eisenhower. it ought not give
rise to any difficult problems. In the
Anglo-French arrangements it is en-
phaslzed that the commander in
chief must be in position to take what
ever steps are necessary for the con-
ouct OF the war. To implement this
all the powers possessed by a French
commander under state of siege" are
being conferred by the Algiers author
ity on Gen. Eisenhower. In French
law what is called a state of SIEGE
goes far beyond the provisions of mar
tlal law as understood in England and
America.
1t has been suggested that, to dispel
all obscurities, those powers might be
tully defined in the CONTEMPLATED
Franco-American arrangements, instead
OF being merely mentioned, which is
the case in the Anglo-French draft

De GuulIe Compromise

BY deciding to deal with it as the
de facto authority in the liberated
areas OF France. the United States
has reached what seems to be a
happy and effective compromise
with General de Gaulle's French
Committee of National Liberation.
Recognition as q provisional gov
ernment Is not granted and General
EiSenhower's overall control re-
mains undiminished in any sector
or situation which he regards as
being related essentially to military
operations. But beyond this the
committee is accorded the right to
act as the sole administrator of
behind-the- lines civil affairs until
the time comes when national elec-
tions can be held.
The new arrangement is an ex-
ample Of what can be done when
men with different viewpoints meet
face to face and seek an under
standing in an atmosphere of friend
illness and good will. A few weeks
ago President Roosevelt and Gen.
eral de Gaulle seemed as far apart
as the poles, with some commen-
tators not helping matters any by
gratuitously asserting that the
Presidents attitude was based solely
on personal pique and by truculently
demanding that he forthwith rec
ognize the De Gaullist regime as the
provisional government OF France.
The general himself, however. was
satisfied with less; in any case, he
left Washington giving every indica-
'tion that he was thoroughly pleased
with the agreement worked out be-
tween himself and Mr.. Roosevelt.
In its new status, the Committee
OF National Liberation will enjoy
more prestige than at any time since
1t was formed, fact likely to add
to General de Gaulle's stature in
the eyes Of his countrymen. The
compromise is thus a good one for
him; 1t Is good, too, from the Allied
viewpoint-first, because it prom
ises an effective behind the Zines
French administration of French
civil affairs, relieving General Eisen-
hover OF a great burden without
circumscribing his liberty of action
as supreme commander; and sec
ond, because it does not put us in
a position Of committing ourselves,
formally and automatically, to any
political regime before the people of
France, whose will is not yet known,
are free to elect a government of
their own choosing. For all parties
concerned, General de Gaulle's visit
to Washington appears to have been
most fruitful.

De GaulliStS Puzzled
By Perfinar

Gen. de Gaulle and the Algiers Gov
ernmental Authority supporting the
French leader are unlikely to approve
OF any arrangement whereby Gen.
Eisenhower would be given full discre-
ton to select for administrative posts
in France other Frenchmen than those
nominated in Algiers. The issue, how
ever, did not arise in the converse tions
between President Roosevelt and Gen.
de Gaulle.
The general left this country under
the impression that the experience made
in Normandy during the last month was
held by the United States Government
to be a conclusive one. and that in prac-
tice, at any rate. the claim put forward
by the Algiers Governmental Authority
to take in hand for administrative pur-
poses all new liberated districts would
no longer be disputed.
What the President said yesterday
morning at his press conference about
Gen. Eisenhower being left free hand to
appoint projects. subprefects and may
ors, should he Gen. Eisenhower deem
it opportune, must have come to Gen.
de Gaulle as a complete surprise.
American policy, If the definition made
public yesterday must be interpreted
literally, and all contrary assurances
must be overlooked. would contradict
the spirit of the set of arrangements
negotiated in London during the last
four weeks. These negotiations all rest
upon twofold admission:
First. the movements of resistance all
over France. which hundreds Of British
officers have closely watched on the spot
for at least two years, can be taken as
the genuine expression of French pub
lie opinion.
Second. provided popular elections are
not unduly delayed. these movements
of resistance can safely be allowed full
scope to achieve the drastic changes
needed II a new France is to come
into her own.
Neither Gen. de Gaulle nor his COL
leagues in Algiers will enter into agree
ments that are at variance with the
above principle, the "raison detre' OF

Gothic Line
By Maj. George FieIdinp Eliot

There Is considerable doubt as to
whether Field Marshal Kesselring has
sufficient troops in Italy to make any
thing like a prolonged stand on the
so-called Gothic Line, of which we
have heard so much.
Probably the German strength in
Italy includes Is to % divisions. OF
these, four are in Northern Italy, nomi-
nally in reserve but having trouble with
Italian Partisan forces. The actual
fighting strength of the remainder has
been reduced by about two-thirds: !:
That is, Kesselring really has the equiva-
lent of seven or eight full-strength di-
visions. plus the four in reserve. To
make long stand on the Gothic Line"
he would need at least IS good divisions,
SO that he Is short three or four di-
visions of the numbers he requires.
This explains the constant and frantic
shifting about of German troops, the
sudden stiffening of resistance in one
sector only at the expense Of seeing an
Allied advance in another sector. The
great Allied difficulty is transport. Gen.
Alexander takes advantage of the Ger
man weak spots as they appear, but it
takes time for him to maneuver his
forces, to realign his supply system
and so his advance is spotty.
X
However, the mountainous zone which
is giving the Germans all these de-
fensive advantages now is getting
pretty shallow. The Allies are working
their way across the southeastern
reaches of the Apennines, and they are
coming up the Adriatic coastal shelf
between the mountains and the sea.
In the center the Germans are making
a desperate stand before the road
junction of Arezzo, which controls their
lateral communications. It is on the
east and center that the real Allied op-
portunity seems to lie and not in the
direction of Florence and Leghorn.
For behind the mountain wall Of the
Apennines, which cuts diagonally across
Italy from the Gulf of. Genoa to the
Adriatic, lie the great open expanses
of the Emilian and Lombard plains.
Once out in this open country, Kessel-
rings broken divisions, lacking armor
and heavy guns, would have little
chance against the powerful sweep of
the 5th and 9Th Armies.
Moreover. as previously pointed out

TO be cut, he could be supplied only from
france by railways which run through
mat part OF France where the French
Partisan forces are strongest and most
active.
Whatever Kesselring may feel about
defending Florence, therefore, he can
not afford to allow the Allies to advance
In the eastern sector of the line. When
ever there is danger there he must take
steps to plug up the holes" If the
Allied 5th Army, moving on Leghorn
and Florence, pins down too many of
his troops, he will not be able to plug
up the eastern holes: and he will pres
emily f1nd the 9th Army breaking
through the mountains and across his
communications
THESE are some of the reasons why It
does not seem likely that the German
stand on the Gothic Line can be a long
one. If from the dwindling German
reserves on other fronts, or from forces
OF occupation, another three or four
divisions can be found to send into
Italy, the Germans may at that price
purchase little more delay. They have
been doing that in Italy ever since
May II.
AS one Allied general put 1t, "They
can't afford not to keep putting nickels
into the slot" But they are running
out Of nickels. The demands Of the
Russian and the western fronts are in
creasing, while German ability to meet
them decreases.
This Is hardly the moment for Kessel-
ring to ask his superiors for more di-
visions, when Is good German divisions
have just been lost in Russia and the
Russian armies are racing for the bor-
der Of East Prussia.
Judging from past precedents, the
Germans will not give up ground in
Italy until they are driven from 1t,
They continue there, as elsewhere, the
seemingly suicidal policy of attempting
to hold the perimeter of their vast
fortress at the expense >of their eventual
ability to defend the central German
citadel.
They may somehow find q few more
nickels for the Italian slot. They NAV
try their stand on the Gothic Line, II
they do they seem almost certain to be
outflanked on the east and it is dif1acult
to understand how their armies can
hope to escape across the broad plains
Of Northern Italy Ia the shelter Of the
Alpine passes.
