WASHINGTON. Oct. 26 - (AP) — German armies falling back in Russ!“ Md Italy toward an innner fortress of Europe actually’ iiro set- ting the trap for the final destruc- tion of their own homeland.

The more they retreat to shorten their lines and strengthen their Positions for ground fighting the more they lay open Germany's cit- ies and industrial resources to nt- tack from the air.

This is one of the most import- Bnf- Points to keep in mind about the European war today. According to the old standards of Warfare. the German is shrinking his fronts, shortening his supply lines and generally strengthening his grip on his vital central posit- ion. This central position includes B11 first vast area from western France lo the heart of conquered Poland and from Northern Italy and the Central Balkans to the North Ses which the Reich generals know they must hold to win even a chance to avoid complete defeat. In so far as ground action alone is ’ it ls conceded by some Allied leaders that once Germany has drawn her armies into that 19,-. tress she can offer powerful defen- oo find mil’ be able to muster occ- asional offensive strength.

These leaders confidently ex. pect. therefore, that when the Germans have consolidated their final ground positions they will come forward with peace proposals on the arisument that since the Am" "Y! Bot hope to w n without enormous cost they should agree to en ‘armistice on terms short o1 unconddlohal surrender.

Bracken Appeals For Fair Deal For Agriculture

Progressive Conservative Leader Outlines Broad Programme For Improvement And Development

Following is the summary of on address of notion-wide import- ancedellvered yesterday by Hon. John Bracken, leoder of the Pro gresslve Conservative Forty, of Letlibridge, Alberto:

Our objectives for agriculture ore three in numbe : lst-Equolify for formers in the Conodion economy;

2nd—Tbe maximum contribution of agriculture to the welfare of the Canadian people;

3rd—The conservation, as well us the development, of our greatest heritage-lire nTOTGhOIISG of wealth in flue upper foot of the nation's soil.

objectives -- Equality for Agriculture. l sholl indicate vurious

steps towards recovery of that position.

Al" the moment, offer many years of unnecessary deloy and pro- crastination by the Government, o measure of improvement hos been promised in on; section oipgricullure. It is n tardy recog- inequities too long perpetuated; ond in its application is creating still other inequities to producers of live- stock and duiry products. Be that as it may, what agriculture needs is o recognition of ifs fundamental right to equity — not oc- casional hand-outs having the character of charity.

In whet follows here I om thinking of agriculture in terms of post-war pence. Unless present attitudes toward tliot industry ore radically changed. the future promises to bring only o repetition of the pre-wor ups ond downs ond strains ond stresss ond iniusfices, so deeply etched on the minds of many formers who went through the trying times of the thirties. These steps toward recovery for agriculture ore meant to be o rational approach toward placing those engaged in that industry in o position of equity with other Conudions who make comparable contribution to our Canadian welfare. ,

First Ffiiéé Of Campaign Ended

By E. KENNEDY A. P. Press War Corre- spondent ALGIERS. Oct. 26- _(AP)-The Anglo-Amer rcan 5th and British 8th

Armies striking forward:

up to six miles have cap- tured 10 more towns, al- lied headquarters. an- nounced today, winding up the first phase of the battle for ltaly as the Germans withdrew into a new mountain defence line stronger than any they have held before. The new line, running from Mondragone on the Tyrrhenian coast north- east of Venafro and then to Vasto on the Adriatic. apparently is where the Germans have decided to make their first "per- manent" stand. Th e position has natural ad- vantages of mountains extending right across the peninsula and run-

nmg several ridges deep.

The Allied armies. having con- quered all of southern Italy in a 54 day campaign, now are confronted

lb)’ a much more difficult task. hirer/mi; crossed the Vcliurno an lngrro Rivers, they might. be said t,‘ have hurdled the moat of Hitler's fortress Europe. and they no‘ stand before its first great wall.

Tho Pflomyls retirement to the shortest and best defensive line anywhere between Napleg and

Rome and reports that Field lvlar- shal ETWlTl Rommel is bringing more troops into northern Italy were accepted as certain sign; that the Germans are detrrmlncd to hold Rome at least through the winter. It was even regarded as possible that the Nazis intend w launch a counter offensive.

The 0th Army, whose Trigno Riv- 91" crossing Wus disclosed today to have been made at the Adriatic coast, scored its most recent advances fa] inland. Advancing six miles west from Vinchlaturo they captured Boiflno. on the main inland high- way toward the key communicat- ions centre of Isernia, and five oth. er towns. The Canadian 1st DivLs. ion. part of the 8th Army, has be", reported operating in the ggngra) area of Vinchlaturo.

The conquest of southern Italy has given the Allies advantages much more important than the mere possession of the soil cf one third of the peninsula.
