One of these days, When no man knows, the wars which we fight will end and the victorious powers will have to rearrange a shattered world. One of the prime objectives will be a plan that will make improbable an other costly defease 01 uus country. There are some people in the Unit ed States who still believe that we can have peace without assuming any responsibility, despite our stupendous power and the role that we play in the affairs of the world. There are men and women, sincere and devout, who insist that what the world needs is the application ef re ligious principles to the problems that perplex mankind and that, there after, there will be universal peace, We are sorry that we cannot be lieve thir dream is real. We do not see how any amount of religious vir tue, in the people of this country, would have restrained the rapacious greed of the Germans and the Japs. We can see room for improvement in Japan and Germany and we do not think we are unduly, prejudiced against these nations. Until the day comes when our ene mies wish to live in peace with us, it is necessary to "carry a big stick." It is quite a burden and can be light ened only through association with other powers willing ;to carry a part of the InnH It wp evrwrt frKpm frt help, we must be willing to contri- bute our full share. Ignore Propaganda The people of the United States have been misled by enemy propa ganda in the past and there is every prospect that some part of our popu lation will be gullible enough to swal low German propaganda in the fu ture. The main hope of the Nazi regime at the present time is to stir up dis cord between the people of the Unit ed Nations. In the United States emphasis will be put upon the men ace of Communism and the imperial ism of Great Britain. The enemy will prefer to persuade Americans to discuss their friends, rather than to join in denouncing the brutality and meanness of their enemies. This is to be expected and, conse quently, Americans should be .very careful how they prpmote the Hit lerian scheme by joining in the cri ticism of the Allied Nations. Obvi ously the British and the Russian! may lack a great deal of being what we would call Americans but, just the same, they are preferable in many ways to the enemies of this country. The United States will have to choose in the future whether it will attempt to stand alone in the world or form permanent and lasting friendships with other powers. II we decide to have friend it is log ical to expect that we will have a preference for the nation which most closely approximates the United stales in its ideals, culture and civ ilization. This haDopna British Empire. There is also an excellent prospect of permanent friendship with Ruosia, France and China. Despite differ ences, there seems to be no funda mental obstacle to our cooperation with these powers. Naturally, in our relationships with other nations, we will not find everything done in exactly the way we prefer, or in the way that we would act if we acted alone. This observation applies to the people of other countries as well. Each nation in a family group muBt give up something in return for what it getv No nation can get everything and give nothing. That Tough Western Front With the Russian tidal wave roll ing upon Germany from the east, why is the joins; still to tough for the Allied mini on the Western Front T - Two ambulations had best fbe 4teui&iW 'Gimum' bm& 8U4tU',k&&ti-'ti& the Germans decidedly do of prefer to -T-'SGsr.T?- I ay . wet errore tbbousi tei rfetaCfcat passes! have the Russians rather than the Americans and British overrun their homeland. But there are several reasons which do lie within the logic of .the situation: ' 1 The morale of the German sol dier on the Western Front is still sound. Military morale is not de pendent upon hope of victory (wit ness the Americans at Bataan) but upon the will to meet the expecta tions of one's fellow soldiers. 2-Tfce Genian high command must keep at "least the minimum forces necessary to hold the Sieg fried Line or be prepared to sur render. Germany is now like a ship sustaining blows at its ' vital parts, the Ruhr and Silesia, from both sides. A breach on the west can amk it as readily as one on the east. 3 Von Rundetedfs offensive suc ceeded at least to the point of forc ing redisposition of very large Allied tactical units. These units must be redeployed for major offensive action. 4 The success of the Russian drive obviously calls for a prompt blow from the west. To prepare one, Gen eral Eisenhower would do as von Rundstedt did hold just enough di visions in action to keep the pressure up, while he rests, regroups and re fits all the forces he can gather for the big try. And he has the Sieg fried Line to buck.
