True there can be waste of these supplies, on a farm and in a nnniiti >n factory; and cvery cf- fort must be niadc to guard against it. It is also true that we tit-rd certain foods more ur- gently than others and dcvclopniciit must be steered accoi-ditiqly. But sweeping, blanket reg- ulations. instcatl of correcting such situations, very often aggravate tlic-m. Canadian farmers are being asked to produce prodigious quaiititics of vital fnotls this season. They can only do so if they gct tlic necessary tools, and on time. The Great Push Major George Fielding liliot, the military cri- tic of the New York 'l‘ril>tine has no doubt the coming Great I‘ush will be made through France he writes, and you will see how this restricts thc possibilities open to us. “l: can land in Grecce, for example, only if we have previously reduced Crete and some of thc Aegean Islands. ,We can land in Italy only if we have previously reduced Sicily and Sardinia, and perhaps Corsica. But to land in either place would mean that in order to get at the vitals of Germany we would still have to penetratc the great mountain wall which protects Germany on the lotitli. A land in; in Norway would be largely dependent on carrier-based aviation, though some support might be given from Russian bases. It boils down to this: Sooner or later, when we are real- ly ready to leek a. decision in this war, we shall have to land an Anglo-American army on the western shore of Europe at a point where we can give the landing adequate air support from the only base available to u: for that purpose-the inland of Great Britain. This will be a. tremen- dously costly and bloody operation. But we |hall have to face it and g0 through with it if we are going to win the war. Whatever the cost, the sooner we can accomplish this purpose, the ' looner we are going to bring the war to an end.
