According to normal planning procedures it is the function of the highest officers to make sure that once the actions begin allied forces in the theatre of combat will be adeauately supplied and reinforced without interruption. The question of timing of the Initial blows has taken on extra ordinary. Importance because of the Russian offensive. ; An . imDression . Drevails here that one of the problems before the president - and prime minister has been to speed up invasion preparations to the greatest ex tent possible In order to tare aa- vantaee of the military predica ment in which the red army drive ha Dlaced the Germans. This in turn appears to have involved a decision, which could have been made only recently, as to whether Europe actually was to be invaded or whether main reliance was to be placed vpon de struction of enemy military-indus trial resources b y strategical bombing. Mr. Churchill said in Washington in May that strateg ical bombing would be tried out, and in the interim the experiment obviously has been made. But so far there-has been no clear-cut evidence that the enemy bombings, to- date have reduced the enemy to the point of col lapse or would do so in the near future. On the other hand, there is almost every evidence ' except a formal announcement from the conference here that the mailed fist of allied might is now raised to strike.
