OF course Grandpa probably
never told Grandma to keep ner
eyes cast down when she walk
ed along the street. But he GER
tainly wouldn't have approved if
she had cast them about at any

So it looks as though today's
cruel treatment is just about
what many Grandma had to put
up with from a fine man and a
good provider."

since they crashed the Dnieper at
Kiev. The S;ret. even at it's widest
point where it joins the Danube
near Galati, is a less formidable
barrier than many the Russians
have taken in their stride. It lies
less than 100 miles east of Ploesti,

fensive position available to the foe

That is exactly what the Ameri-

All these things are, I believe,
known to those who, without shar-

about what have been the chief
lines of the strategical discussion.
They should be understood now

Africa campaign in 1912, because
IN 1872 it was not ready to invade
the Continent. It's objective in that
campaign was to reopen the Med
iferranean by driving the Axis out
OF Africa and Sicily-a necessary
objective, but a limited one.
Always it has kept its attention
fixed on the main objective-the
Continental invasion, the so-called
second front. Therefore, it has new
er made m>re than a limited COM
mltment of cur, forces in the Med

had to be conducted with limited
forces. This explains why the 5th
Army has been stalled at Casino.
If the strategy of the American
high command mad been to con-
centrate in The Mediterranean, the
story of Italy and of the Balkan
and of the Aegean Islands would
surely have been quite different
one. The Mediterranean, like the
South Pacific, has been a second
airy theatez' of war. Progress has
been SO slow because the forces
assigned have been limited. Prog
ress has been indecisive because
the high command has not been
willing to pay the price for de-
cision in Italy. 1t has not been
willing to pay the price because
it has never believed that a deci-
sion in Italy could decide the war.
