because even II they had fight

So most Of the managers Just
stand around talking about the

some Of them have taken the
drastic step OF finding other
employment.

WORLD REVIEW

TIVE primary purpose OF the
l. conference at Quebec is TO
plan the complete defeat OF the
empire OF japan.
There can hardly be more
difficult and complicated plan
ming for successful war.
Japan's power of resistance is
due not merely TO her armed
forces and 10 the militant
spirit of the nation, but also 70
-f7er extraordinary geographical
position.
japan. like Great Britain, is
an island empire, but for pur-
poses of making war she has
what Great Britain has not-a
military hold upon the adjacent
continent.
japan is actively extending
her occupation Of China to
make her hold greater and
more invulnerable, and is re-
solved to achieve its complete
suhjugation before we shall be
able TO check her course.

One Of the serious calcula-
lions to be made at Quebec ID
whether the armies that win
defeat the japanese can be Gre
ated in China out Of Chinese
soldiers. or whether these ar
mics will have to be American
and British, moved by ships
over the great distances that
separate this field warfare
from the United States and
from Europe.
One Of the important decf.
sions to be reached by President
Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill Is whether the over.
all commander of the Allied
forces attacking Japan from
many directions and In many
ways, will be a soldier or q
sailor.
This should depend upon
whether q general or an adj
miral can best coordinate all
the widely separated fighting
elements.
This task will be strategic,
not tactical.
II is unofficially announced
that he will be an American, on
the basis that determined the
selection of Gen. Eisenhower,
namely, that the proponderant
strength Of force will be Amer
lean.
ITO ENABLE either army or
l. navy to do decisive damage
to Japan, they must approach
more closely to her. The navy
must have harbors for fueling
and supply. and for shelter from
the seventies of battle and Of
the sea, hundreds of miles closer
TO Japan and to China than
either Saipan or Guam.

no matter how articulate his

how exciting the applause, he

Wendell Willkie can serve the
party that gave him chance
by subordinating h imself to

regular way in a two-party

the mark of lack of personal
