Second Front
TI1E second front has long been the biggest
military question?and it is get
?ling bigger fast. The plain truth is tnai a
serious clearage is developing between
Soviet Russia and the balance of the UrnJted
Nations. The Russians definitely feel
that they have borne the brunt of the
fighting long enough, and that it is now
time for England and the United Nations
|to do something concrete and effective. |
Wendell Willkie's recent visit to Russia
Swas obviously made for the purpose of
'finding out just what Soviet military and
governmental leaders are thinking. Mr. ,
fWillkie had long audiences with Stalin
Eand Molotov, and with a number of high- ,
Ranking Russian Army men. He made a ,
gvisit to the front, and talked with rank- (
Jand-file Russians. So it is highly signifi- ,
|cant that he at once issued a statement ,
an which he advocated the establishment
jof a second front "at the earliest possible ,
inoment that our military leaders will ap- ,
}prove." He then added that some of th.ese (
military leaders may "need public prod- (
||ling." ,
The attitude of* the Russians is certain- ]
y understandable. The Russian people, j
'military and civilian alike, have made ,
sacrifices that deserve the adjective "in- ,
credible." According to Moscow accounts, ,
the Russian Army'has suffered 5,000,000 ,
Sbasualties in killed, wounded and missing. )
pixty million Russians are in areas which (
it present are occupied and controlled by
yhe Nazis. Aid from the United States ]
|ind England has fallen short of the total ,
javhich was anticipated, and Russia has a .
Serrible lack of food, clothing, fuel and ,
jpther necessities. The Germans, pursuing ,
their policy of extermination, have de- ,
liberately killed tens of thousands of Rus- t
Jian men, women and children. In soma ,
pections, Russian authorities have found it ,
|iecessary to condemn part of their own (
^population to slow starvation, in order to i
I provide sufficient food for fighting men ,
uid necessary factory workers. The courage
of the Red Army is a beacon light in ,
he long and bloody history of war. Never |
lave there been finer and more desperate ,
stands than those made by the Russians T
it Sevastopol, Rostov, Stalingrad and elge- (
Iviicre. ]
At the present time, according to the <
>est estimates, Germany has about 1QQ
divisions on the Russian front. In the .
'opinion of Russian experts, Germany
jvould have to divert 30 or 40 of these divisions
to the West if the United Nations .
^jvould open a second front in Europe,
Rising the British Isles as the base of ope- *
ations. And if that happened, the Rus- ]
an experts conclude, the Red Army ,
ould stop the Nazis and eventually de- (
eat them. But if the Germaps are left (
ree to throw all their power against the
iussians, the Red Army mpy be eliprinat- (
:d as an offensive force. In that event,
Germany, possessed of almost limitless re- (
sources, could launch an irresistible offen- ]
sive against England and the United ]
States.
American and British Army heads
Epenly advocate the second front. It is
o secret that a very large percentage of
he American soldiers now in service are
seing trained for fighting of the comnando
order. No responsible man pow
advocates a purely defensive vap?all are
:onvinced that only the continued offensive
can bring eventual victory. At the
same time, the difficulties that lie in the
way of the second front are very important.
The cost in troops would unquestionably
be terribly great?raids such as
that made against Dieppe have proven
hat German defenses in Europe are first
;lass. The problem of supply from the
U. S. to England is extremely difficult?
to maintain the vast numbers of troops
who would be engaged in the second
ront offensive, would require a veritable
jridge of ships across the Atlantic. And
!in top of that, it takes time to give troops
he kind of rigorous training that is vital
o a successful invasion of German-held
iurope.
These are but a few of the tremendous
ssues that bedevil the High Command.
THE STA
It is tp the credit pf tfce Generals who :
make military policy that they do aot
want to open a second frpnt until they .
feel that the engagement can be won at 1
a minipjun) cpst in mem At the sapie
time, it is obvious that the collapse of
Russia would be the worst possible calamity
that could happen to the United Nations.
Russia alone has realty held the
Germans in big actions, and made Hitler
pay an awful price in blood and material
for the victories he has gained. Russia
alone has shown that she realizes precisely
what total war means. Russia alone
has given her resources and her energies j
without hesitation or limit. And Russia
has received mighty little help from her
Allies, despite all the brave words that have
been said in her behalf. Russia
knows that men and guns, not conversation,
win battles.
NOT EXACTLY N?WS
We heard this week that CorporaJ Harry L.
Mintz, former Register of Deeds, h^s been made (
a Sergeant in the Army Air Corps . . . Miss Es- />
ther Edeen, formerly a member of the USO staff t
here, has been made senior hostess at the East e
and Front St. USO Club in New Bern. We learn- tl
ed from the same source that both her parents >
were Salv?tion Army officers. j|
Rob White is figuring definitely on putting in j
some bowling alleys at Shallotte this month . . . b
Herman Stanaland has a one-legged colored man ?
- .. n
tvorking for him who turns out more work tnan a
iny other helper he has. What's more, this fellow j,
operates on an artificial leg of his own making, f,
and this nothing short of remarkable, since he {J
lost the limb above the knee. J
Thomas Russ is the latest fellow we know in *
the county to develope the saddle horse fever. $
wants to go to every saddle horse sale he hears *j
about now . . . Yankee, the stylish Irish setter ?
cwned by Mrs. L. C. Fergus, has been crowded *<
cut of the back seat by the new Doberman that
Opc acquired last week.
Personally we think that Harry James lacks some- r>
what of filling the shoes of Glenn Miller on the <
cigarette show. We don't specially appreciate ?'
nusic that features trumpet in every number. . . .
?Ve have had the very best evidence possible that 11
Frank Rabon has killed at least one buck this
rail. ei

3nly is a milk-goat owner, but is a booster of n

We think the late If. M. Shannon would be ?

The Doctors' Burden ^
ti
At the rate our doctors are now be- b
Ing drafted or are enlisting for duty on 1(
;he far-flung battlpfrppfs qf ttye Upifpd |
Nations, we are going to be faced soon
with a shortage of mpdipos i$i pqjpmbus
county as well as in the rest of the
country.
Such a. shortage, without the cooperation
of tjic people of the country,
is going to work a tremendous hardship
on the few remaining physicians left behind
to take care of the ills which might
bpfall the people on the home front.
The people themselves cap contribute
immensely to the position of the family
dpctor if tfyey will only try.
Physicians who are doing the work i
of three men will have little time to de- I
vote to the treatment of minor aches and I
pains which so often beset us. We're go- I
ing to have to content ourselves with \
home remedies for lesser disorders. (
This is not to say that any person t
who is really ill will not get medical at
tention. Where a doctor is needed, there
will be a doctor available, we rpay bp
sure of that fact.
But the whole idea of this editorial I
is to impress upon the min,d of our gen- 1
eral public the tremendous burden which j
is bpihg placed on the doctors of this
country, and to see if we cannot cop- i
tribute something toward making this j
burden a little ljghter. i
In peacetime, it's all right to indulge 1
ourselves in the luxury of imaginary ills,
bui; there's no time or place for them in
this emergency. |
