Rostov Operation
Vastly Important .

, (Capital Journal War Attaint)
With the German drive on Moscow slowed down hv a

observers today shifted momentar
ily to the Intensification of the nazl
attempt to capture the strategic city
of Rostov at the entrance to the
Caucasus.
Tills operation Is of vast Import
ance. Hitler must of course cap
ture Moscow or suffer a defeat
which will have a tremendous moral
repercussion throughout the world
but It's equally true that he must
break through Into the Caucasus
if his Russian adventure Isn't to
fall or two of Its primary objectives.
Those goals to repeat what has
been said often here before are the
oil fields, and the establishment of
bases In the middle east for opera
tions against the- British,
The nazla claim to have taken
the Industrial city of Stalino and
to be closing in on Rostov. If they
capture this port and railroad cen
ter on the Don river they may well
have secured the key to the gate
way Into the Caucasus to the south.
As a result of this German threat
we may find that the new allied
front which Is being Insistently de
manded by the British public will
develop in this region, rather than
by an invasion of western Europe.
As a matter of fact It might well
bo that, If the allied arms prosper,
the British may find this their most
feasible route for a general land
offensive against Germany. That
Is, they first will attack the Ger
mans from the rear rather than
across the English channel.
Because It Is Imperative from the
allied standpoint to keep the narJs
out of the Caucasus, it would be
logical for the British to send a
large expeditionary force through
iran irersiai Into the region be
tween the Black sea, and the Cas
plan to form a common front with
the reds. The British have close to
minion men under arms in the
middle east and. while their me-
chanlzed equipment isn't up to re
quirements, they could present i
formidable defense.
