War Si

(By Kirka L. Simpson, Associated Press War Analyst)

Public demand for Anglo-American second front operations now. not next year, to relieve pressure on Soviet lines reached new intensity at the week-end.

The grim portcnts of’ heavy Canadian casualties at Dieppc and in- dicated reverse for the British forces in the Tobruk raid failed to abate the calls for aggressive Allied action in the west voiced not only in Mos- cow but on both sides of the Atlantic.

Wendell Wiilkie‘: talks with Soviet officialdom as President Roose- velt's personal emissary added; fuebto the fir'e.

Decision as to both the when and where of so stupendous an under- taking cannot conceivably be reached overnight or be based on any but utterly realistic military appraisal of the possibilities.

There is none too certa n indication that the Allied strategic councils in Washington and London are fully informed as to either Nazi or Rus- sian dispositions or the actual inroads into Axis reserve strength the five-month old battle in Russia has cost. That they have been hcuvy is certain; but just how heavy or to what extent they have weakened Hil- ler‘s resources to man two Il"0llI.S ‘simultaneouslyds another matter.

It seems obvious that even In Africa, where the (ables appear to be turned or turning strongly; in Allied favor, the British command lii Cairn lacks wholly dependable nowled e of the straits to which Marshal Er- win RommcFs once conquering Irica Corps has been reduced. British land and sea forays, including an astonishing desert dash through Axis lines to Bcimzasi, west of the Libyan hump, and to Glalo Oasis. 250 miles south. probably were seekinfi information primarily.

The need of a second front has never been in dispute. The will to achieve it or a multiple-front attack to catch the Axis with its lines now vastly extended in both Russia and Africa in a deadly cross fire is not lacking. Allied might is mustering with accelerating momentum; but the when, where and how of it still must remain the most closely guarded military secret until the hour strikes.

It will come. somehow. somewhere: but if it came prematurely dis. aster could result which could onlv increase, not decrease, Russia's peril.
