Then ail efforts were to be turned
to the east and Russia.
Hitler believed after Dunkirk
that Britain would sue for peace
or. failing this, that a blockade by
U-boats would force the British to
request a negotiated peace, or that
the luftwaffe could bomb tne is
land into submission.
Britain Is Base
Without Britain as a fortress
and base it would have been vir
tually impossible to prepare,
mount and launch the Anglo
American camnaigns in North
' Africa, Sicily, Italy and France,
Without England there would not
have been air bases to enable the
RAF bomber command and the
then ever-growing powerful Amer-
can Eighth and Ninth air forces
to bomb, blast and slash the vitals
from Germany's war machine and
pull much of the luftwaffe's
power off the east front, where
Russia needed such relief.
So the first big British and al
lied victory was the battle for Bri
Shortly thereafter, two vitally
important defeats were lnritetea
on Hitler's legions In the rubble
strewn streets of Stalingrad and
the burning, sandy, reaches of El
Alamein. Preceding these victories
the Russians halted the German
drives at the gates of Leningrad
and the approaches to Moscow.
Partners Separated
The blocking of the German
march eastward for oil and the
envisaged linkup with the Japa
nese brought abruptly to a close
the idea of a Joined axis global
warfare.
Then there came onto the scene
Britain's big four outstanding op
erational leaders of the war in the
persons of Field Marshals Sir
Harold Alexander and Sir Bernard
Montgomery, Air Chief Marshal
Sir Arthur Tedder and Admiral of
the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunning
ham. On the easier week end of 19-12
the Japanese made a desperate at
tempt to assault Ceylon by sea
and air In preparation to land
troops. This was the dying gasp
of master conquest the Vaiders di
rected from Berlin and Tokyo. -
The RAF, managed to pull an
unexpected number of Hurricane
fighters out of the hat. These
stout, heavy-firing fighters smash
ed the Japanese grab at Ceylon.
From that hour Nippon's fortunes
in the Indian ocean, India and
Burma sank.
Japs Defeated
Gen. Dwiglit D. Elsenhower con
siders the Japanese defeat at Cey
lon one of the most devastating
and far-reaching blows delivered
against the axis military machine.
An axis junction would have en
abled not only maximum results
from German and Japanese (and
at that time Italy) manpower, all
forces and navies, but also could
have enabled the Japs to provide
raw materials of the Far East in
exchange for part of the indus
trial and chemical output of German-occupied
European countries
and Italy. Additionally, Germany
would have had oil, gasoline and
rubber.
After Stalingrad, El Alamein
and Ceylon, America's fighting
contributions began to turn the
scales, although during three pre
vious years the United States pro
duction of war tools, raw mate
rials, foodstuffs and ships already
had been enabling Britain to dig
in and hold on while converting
manpower and industry into a
military machine. It also helped
Russia, while that country fell
back fighting to utilize her vast
space and manpower to stave off
defeat.
Subs Defeated
First America added its sea and
air strength to Britain's and Cana
da's to help beat the Atlantic sub
marine menace, which Prime Min
ister Winston Churchill long
ranked as the greatest single al
lied battle. Then American air
forces commanded by Gen. Carl
Spaatz, Maj. Gen Frederick An
derson and Lt. Gens. Ira C. Eiiker
and James Doolittle began to blast
German strongholds and battle
the luftwaffe.
Finally came the North Africa
landings Nov. 8, 19-12, with the
eventual capture of well over 2.M1,
000 Germans as Tunis and Hi
zerte were liberated and the
French North African colonial em
pire was freed.
These victories between No
vember and May welded the Brit
ish and Americans, assisted by
French, Polish, Greek and Yugo
slav forces, into a smooth, power-
ope.
Kurope Invaded
Following nearly three years of
hard work and careful planning,
Eisenhower sent his armies and
with them the hopes of the ci
vilized world onto the beaches of
Normandy June 6, 1944.

Cities in Battle

Klamath Falls, Ore, May 8
They were hurling some pretty
bitter phrases across the breadth
of southern Oregon today.
"It is pitiful to think about con
structing an interregional high
way down that canyon on the
other side of the hills," said a
kind-hearted Klamath Falls citi-
7en.
"They've got nothing to offer
over there In the east but a lot
of sagebrush and desert. We have

n ui i-'c:a juaicau ul )juiuiu paii.il
en," a gentleman from Medford
replied heartily.
The feud between the two cities
and the areas which they domi
nate has grown to a personal lev
elalmost. f
Barks Willamette
It all started when Arthur
Sehoupp of the state highway
commission, who, bv a coinci
dence, lives In this city, told mem
bers of the group that he thought
the Willamette highway should
receive equal consideration along
with the fcogue river route as the
chief norlh south Inter-regional
highway in Oregon. This would
mean more post-war improve
ments on the Cascade route.
The conservative Medfordltes
were suddenly flustered. They had
understood for more than 20
years that their road over the
Siskiyous, No. 99, was the main
drag in the state.
Not bo, said the men from
Klamath Falls. The commission
has never so designated the
stretch. And now, they said, since
we have experienced such an in
crease in population during the
past few years ..."
Mayor C. A. Meeker of Med
ford spoke lip to say that hid
ciiy s. population nas jumped an
estimated li.uuu during tne last
five years. Klamath Falls resi
dents countered with the, allega
tion that their population has al
most doubled since the last cen-
isus was taken.
"We're growing into a metro
politan city," Meeker said, "while
over to the east the lumber is
thinning out and their industries
don't know where to turn."
"They ought to come over here
and take a look," was Klamath
Fall's reply..
The day's session was declared
a draw, and combatants prepared
for another round and another.
The state highway commission
doesn't make the decision until
July 1. - v-
