What seems to cause the Lib- eras the greatest. concern is the remisation that they are going to be oranded by the Progressive Con- servatives as real isolationists, who helped bring on this war by their complete refusal to deal realistical-

with the problem of world se- curity during the inter-war years. They also realize that the country itself is strongly opposed to any- thing smacking of any brand of isolationism at the moment; the country wants, more than anyth ng eiso, a guarantee that this is the last war we are going to have to fight for many years.

Fires OF Victory

PARIS. March 27—(AP)-Allied armies poured east in a torrent through smashed German lines today, led by United States 1st Army tank forces knifing 27 more miles eastward and breaking across the Dill River where the enemy was desperately trying to rally for a gland 235

miles from Berlin.

The entire front blazed with the fires of victory as elements of seven Allied armies pressed home what Gen.

Eisenhower declared was one

of the greatest triumphs of

any war. A front dispatch said “the rout is under way.” The Rhineland battle, forever a black day in German

military history.- had stripped

the enemy of the power to

make another successful stand although Gen. Eisenhower said they yet would form a temporary line.

Brit now one of those lines had been broken by the lst Army's dash, which swept into Herborn and across the

Dill River, even as the enerny

tried to form a line there to

repair the disasters of tile Rhine.

Twelve miles to the southeast, another 1st Army tank forcc was closing on Wctzlar, 5'1 miles be-

Ncws blackouts closed over these lust as they did over tank columns, which had shredded de- fences of the River Main at many points southeast of Frankfurt and by enemy account vzcrc- loose 225 miles southwest of Berlin.

On the north flank, the British 2nd Army with which the Canadian 3rd Division is fighting broke com- pletely through thc enemy lines on the north German plain and dash- ed eastward almost unopposed un- der‘ another security blackout.

The United States 7th Army lashed out from its new bridgehead north of Mannheim, cut the Frank- furt-Mannhcim superhighway at a second point and was nine miles east of (lie Rhine. It probably had linked un with the 3rd" Army in its Mailiz-Worms crossl gs.

Gcll. Eisenhower declared the Wehrmacht "as fl military forcc on the Western Front is a whippad army,“ and called the Allied tri- umph along thc Rhino oric of tile greatest of rim" war. H". predicted the Germans would bc beaten into abject surrender-Altai there would be no negotiations.
