General Smut: Forecasts

If the speqch made by Field Marshal Jan Christian Smuts at the Guildhall ltuiclieon last week may he taken as a cue to Allied strategy, an offensive in the llalkaiis by the United .\‘a- tions is to he the next major development. 11X- pgfiﬂygg has pri-ven more than once since the war started that (icucral Sniuls never speaks without kin-wing what he is talking about.

There are l\\t| [IJIMIIQVS in the _Sinuts Guild- llLlll speech which make concrete forecasts. “By winter," said tieiicral Smuts, "we shall be clos- .iig in upon Hitler's tivniral Fortress iii Izurope Ind making our (lispnsltitllls for the grand as- sault by all arms nr-xt year." l-‘tilloiving this up iii lluire specific detail he predicted that the eti- stiing months ivonlil tliscluse "still further ad- vances, tspeci. ly in southern and soulheasteﬂi litimyie." This has been commented upon by the London ltrthxs" as the strongest hint yet emanating from an authoritative source 0f 1m impending llalltan lllﬂtsltlll.

The next major move is expected to take place in the Balkans. \lllCIl forces arc poised for a descent on Yugoslavia hy way of the Adriatic or on Greece h_v way of the Aegean. The bal- ance of probabilitv scouts to be in favor of a landing in Greece but this may depend on whe- ther T‘urke_v, inspjred by Portugal's example, is willing to give the Ynitcd Nations naval and aviation bases in the islands bordering upon the Dardanelles. On the other hand, a stidden col- lapseof, the Nazi rcar-gtiard campaign may put forward the time of the Allied capture of Rome, and in such an event. Yugoslavia might become the first theatre of the Allied offensive in the Balkans.

French Patriots

It is said that the activities of “Underground” France have taken on the character of guerrila warfare. Resistance to deportation is increas- ing in intensity from day to day. Specific lu- stances are the escape of all but fifteen of a; group of 400 labourers reciuitctl, Ly forced methods, in Limoges. Even the fifteen whom the German agents catight “had to be dragged to the station tied hand and foot." At Roaruie, 380 young ui_cn mohilivcrl for slave labour in Germany stiddciily burst into song, following the Marseillaise with a dash for the open country. In a section of Marseilles only 76 out of 216 called up presented tlictnsclvcs; at Aurillac only fifteen responded out of seventy called. At 'I'oulon it was even worse, with four youths turning up instead of the expected 220, and this was eclipsed by what took place at Lille, where the Germans got only 28 out of the 45o demanded. The Nazis are getting so nervous about conditions that they dare not openly take punitive measures, for fear of starting a general revolt throughout the whole country.

According to One report, large concentration camps are being built to receive Frenchmen of military age as soon as the Allies make a land- iiig in FranccJ It is expected that an attempt will be made by the Germans, in the event of a retreat, to destroy all important industrial in- stallations. One thing appears to be certain -—- the Boches have no hope whatever of receiving any aid front the French, not even from those of Vicliy- stripe. It loolts as if Commander Red- vcrs Michael Prior, D.S.O., is right when he says that the heart of the working classes of France still heals true. “They are beaten, but not vanquished." he reports; "they are eagerly aivaiiing the day when .\llied troops set foot on

L_et this be noted and underlined in our minds against the tendency to wishful thinking. Prime Minister Churchill speaking in tlic llouse of Commons the other day ivarned Britons that the worst fighting lies ahead. He stated that the British people would be “absolute fools" to count on ‘an altogether unexpected collapse of the enemy."

Mr. John W. Dafoe, LL.D., President and Editor-in-Chief of the Winnipeg Free Press, who has numerous friends and admirers here. recently celebrated the sixtieth anniversary of his entry into journalism when, as recorded in our columns, he was honoured by his colleagues and the citizens of Winnipeg generally. He is one of the few Canadians who turned down an offerpof knighthood. Many years ago, when ad- dressing a gathering of members of the then Caitadian Press Association he described the ideal journalist as “one who knows something about everything but not necessarily everything about anything." .-\n "authority" on any one stibject he contended was apt to make it a "King Charles’ head" in his columns.

The farmer scut a letter of Efeellllﬂs to King George VI on his Coiouatiou’ told about the “state of the road in our district" and requested the King to "say a few words in the right place."

Nn doubt the Hon. Mr. Ralston, our repres- entative in the Government will take advantage of his Victory Loan visit to consult the local powers-that-be with regard to the vacancv on the Supreme Court bench. Since our previous reference to "probables”, the stock of Mr. K. M. Martin, K.C., has gone up considerably it being pointed out by his favourers that lie has more appeal sustained judgments to his credit than any judge or magistrate in the province. In the opinion of the late Hon. Angus MacLean, K.C., Mr. Martin was one of the soundcst law- yers, at the bar, with no one to surpass him in preparing a brief.

Against Complacency

(Sydney Post-Record) Addressing a Victory Loan rally at.

There ls B. very areal danger, Premier Drew asserted. 01 the people ln Canada necomln complacent about the outcome o tlils war and expccliiig an earl victory which will be the end 0f al our difficulties.

This ivarntitg ls timely and it posscses tlie negative merll; 0f n01 assuming to predict whether the end of the war is remote or near at hand. All that Premier Drew says is that the correct attitude for. the people of this country to maln- tain toward this greatest of i111 world wars ls that. victory can only be assured by our banishing every idea except. that the United Nat- lons must fight. with lncreaslntl stren tli till the his; blow lllLS been stru .

There are two ways to assure that the question of post-war bases 1n the British Empire becomes a critical problem between the United States and the British Commonwealth.
