FRID A Y , NOV. 7, 1941
I t is sig in fic a n t th a t the m ost a g ­
gressive opposition to W inston C hur­
chill in E ngland has developed fro m
his refu sal to open a new fro n t in
E urope. The dem and fo r th is has
larg ely cam e from L ab o r M. P .’s,
b u t th ey have given th e su p p o rt o f a
n u m b er of c onservatives and liberals.
The feelin g is grow ing in m any q u a r.
te rs th a t H itle r’s R ussian cam paign
has fo r th e firs t tim e su ffic ie n tly
div erted his en erg ies and resources
so th a t it m ay be possible to c arry
th e w ar to G erm any.
T he m ilita ry problem s involved in
th is a re enorm ous and no laym an
is in a position to dfiscuss them .
T here is how ever a problem o f m or­
a le involved w hich is th e utm o st im ­
p o rtan ce. U n re st in th e natio n s which
H itle r has occupied is obviously gro­
w ing .The h o rrib le toll o f executions
in occupied F ra n c e is evidence of
th a t, H itle r’s henchm en a re n ’t killing
F ren ch citizens fo r fu n , b u t because
th ey e n d a n g e r th e purpose and pol-
licies of th e Reich. So it is argued
th a t if th e A llies could s ta rt an a g ­
gressive m ilita ry cam paign a g ain st
H itle r on th e c o n tin e n t the su b ju ­
g a te d peoples w ould be im m ensely
enco u rag ed a n d w ould increase the
e x te n t and scope o f th e ir opposition.
T here is little d oubt b u t w h a t th a t
a rg u m e n t has v alidity. I f fo r instance
B ritish tro o p s could e ffe c t a landing
on F re n c h soil and push th e G er­
m ans back th e d em ocratic world
w ould tak e it as a m iraculous tonic
B u t it is a p p a re n t th a t Mr. Churchill
a n d his hign com m and e '-en though
th e y realize th is believe tV it the tim e
is n o t rig h t. A nd here again a m orale
as w ell a s a m ilita ry problem is in_
volved.
T he h a rd t r u th is th a t E ngland
has had n o th in g b u t failure in h e r
lan d o p e ratio n s a g ain st G erm any d u r­
ing th is w ar. H e r navy and a ir force
have done w onders. H e r in fa n try and
h e r a rtille ry a n d h e r m echanized fo r­
ces on th e o th e r hand have been com­
p lete ly u n ab le to cope w ith th e ir
G erm an enem ies. T his is no c riti­
cism o f th e co u rag e o r resolve of
T om m y Atfkins. K ipling’s “ T hin rod

ian sim ply h a sn ’t th e eq u ip m en t and
we h a v en ’t been able to d eliver it to
h e r in su ffic ie n t q u a n tity . T he G er­
m an a rm y .w h eth e r you like it o r not,
is still th e b e st in th e w orld.
E n g la n d ’s debacles a t D unkirk and
in C re te and N orw ay tell th e story.
T here soldiers did all and m ore th an
could be e xpected o f them . B u t a

Mr. C hurchill’s m uch criticised po­
