Sounds Strange Here

FROM MANY QUARTERS, both in
England and in America, come de-
miands for a British invasion of the continent.
Jt is felt that attacking the continent would be
the best thing for Britain to do now, while the
main strength of the Nazi war machine is en-
gaged in a bitter life and death struggle with the
Soviets.
It is claimed that Germany is now weak in
the west, and that such an invasion would force
the Nazis to divide their forces and perhaps be
defeated on both the eastern and western fronts,
or not being optimistic, making the aid thus
given to the Soviets well worth the cost in lives
and materiel. Even more than this, it is claimed
that the enslaved peoples of occupied Europe are
straining at the leash, waiting only for the op-
portunity of giving their lives to rid Europe of
the Nazi yoke.
ILL THIS is probably true. Ah invasion of
the continent, an effective one, might be the
answer to the present military crisis, but it is
hard to see on what military knowledge the
many civilian proponents of the adventure base
their demands. True, an invading force prop-
erly equipped and supported, and with good
leadership, might win the war. But who, out-
side of the British high command, is in a posi-
tion to know if such an invasion is at all prac-
ticable.
"England will fight to the last Frenchman"
was the phrase hurled by German loudspeakers
across the Rhine to French troops before the
fall of France, and today this statement might
very well be applied to us. Who are we to demand
that the British make an effort which their
own generals may regard as suicidal, and as
injurious in the long run, to the cause for
which we all are fighting.
TMAY BE that the British are even now se-
cretly preparing for an invasion, but it is
definitely out of place for the people of the
United States to ask Britain, who certainly can-
not be accused of not wanting to defeat Nazi
Germany, to throw herself onto an inhospitable
European shore at a time when she is not mili-
tarily prepared for such it venture.

NewYork Times Pays
Tribute To U. Of M.
The College of Literature, Science and the Arts
was established at Ann Arbor in 1841. Thence
has grown the assemblage of thirteen or so col-
leges and schools that compose the University of
Michigan, first of those remarkable American
State institutions to become in the full sense a
university. Few creations of the democratic
spirit are more impressive; and Michigan ranks
with the best of a famous race.
The State of Michigan was but four years old.
America was waiting for Mr. Dickens' observa-
tigns. It is hard for the imagination to follow
the span of a century that runs from the sparse-
ly settled rude frontier to the splendors and
rarities of the Clements Library, the Shake-
speare, the Goethe, the Carlyle collections, the
Greek papyri, the Arabic and Persian manu-
scripts and the rich collections of the various
sciences. The piety of graduates and friends has

Join The Fight Now ...
To Mr. Haufler:
CAN SYMPATHISE with the mood in which
you wrote your letter in yesterday's Daily.
But it would be better for all concerned if you
turned your mind to the main issues: (1) If the
Nazis control the Eastern Hemisphere (as they
will if Britain and Russia are defeated), will
they attempt to control North America? (2) Will
they be able to make such an attempt with a
probability of success? (3) Has the United States
a moral obligation to take part in the war against
the Nazis?
If the Nazis defeat the British and the
Russians, they will not only wish to, they
will be compelled to struggle for the con-
trol of the Western Hemisphere. This is
true because of the nature of the Nazi sys-
tem. The Nazi production machine is gear-
ed to war. Its incentives derive from the
compulsions of war, its manageg(ent is cent-
ered in the military establishment. It can-
not produce for a consumption goods econo-
my without a political and economic revolu-
tion. Goering will permit no revolution in
a victorious Germany. The Nazi psychology
cannot turn from conquest. The militarism
of the army officers and the Storm Troopers
is a way of life, an ethical ideal, deeply
ingrained in the men who control Germany.
They despise peace; they love war for its
own sake. An army indoctrinated with Nazi
ideals literally could not settle down to of-
fice, factory, and farm work after the glory
of conquest and the pleasures of looting.
This psychological fact cannot be measured
precisely, but no competent authority on
Germany would deny it. The political power
of the Nazis in Germany itself depends on
war. They cannot disband their armies.
There is no place for the Nazi soldier in the
civilian order of Germany. The Nazis will
never risk the unrest and unemployment
which would threaten their own security if
they tried to demilitarize the Army. More
important, both civilians and soldiers have
been led to believe that victory will solve
their economic troubles. It will not,. and
Hitler will be forced to look for a new enemy
to serve as a scapegoat and to scare Ger-
many into unity behind him. A tyrant must
wage war to keep himself in power.
Not only would the nature of the Nazi system
compel Hitler to fight new wars; the Nazis would
want it anyway. The doctrine of the Herrenvolk
(the master 'people) is not mere rant; it is the
guiding principle of the Nazis. Their own state-
ments, their songs, their deeds prove this. Ideo-
logically the Nazi revolution is a world revolu-
tion designed to sweep America as well as the
rest of the globe into the Nazi system. This is
a fact. Why not face it?
THE NAZIS would try to gain control of the
Western Hemisphere. Could they? We need
anticipate no direct military invasion in the near
future. But the weapons of total war are not con-
fined to guns. The fifth column is already at
work softening us up. Robert McCormick has
convinced a lot of Republicans that Roosevelt
is worse than Hitler. Lindberg is trying to con-
vince us that the Jews are plotting to get us
into war. Father Coughlin wants us to believe
that that British are a greater menace to us than
the Nazis. According to Louis Adamic, Nazi
agents (America citizens always) are hard at
work +stirring up hatred between the various
national groups in this country and toward the
Jews. The aim is to paralyze the national will,
and to some extent it has succeeded: witness the
vote on the draft extension bill. As taxes go
up, the rich will hate Rosevelt more. As prices
go up, the poor will hate Hitler less. As the de-
fense program cuts into the comforts of the
middle class, it will listen to McCormick and
Lindberg with more receptive ears. It is easy
to imagine that Hitler is a long way off. As
Goebbels says, "Nothing will be easier than to
produce a bloody revolution in America. No other
country has so many social and racial tensions."
With such an internal situation, we will be
confronted by a victorious Germany, armed be-
yond our capacity to arm. The Eastern Hemis-
phere has more men and more raw materials to
make armaments than we. The Nazis have com-

petent technicians. Lindberg's proposal that we
should arm ourselves so thoroughly that no one
will dare attack as would be impossible after a
Nazi victory. The total productive capacity of
the Eastern Hemisphere is greater than ours
today (counting in Japan and Russia of course),
and is potentially far greater. Conversely, we
will be cut off from the very strategic materials
which Hitler still lacks but will then possess in
abundance. Under these circumstances, how long
should the draft period be, Haufler, and what
would you think about the 40 hour week?
The real danger to America consists of
the combination of internal dissension, in-
ternal pro-Nazi groups, the pressure of Nazi
armaments rather than their actual use,
Nazi control of the seas, Nazi control of South
America, and Nazi use of Japanese and
Siberian airports and naval bases. This is
the set-up we face if the Nazis win. In such
a situation it is probable that an invasion
could succeed. It is more probable that it
would be unneccessary. What we have to
fear more than Nazi invasion is subjection
to Nazi influence. And once that influence
becomes dominant, America will exist no
more as the land of the free. The man who
to the university than the university to the State.

Little Patience Left .. .
To the Editor:
MESSRS. SLOSSON, WELLS, AND OGDEN
have taken more than their share of recrim-
ination for the letter urging "total war" on
Hitlerism. As one of the 200 or more local
signers, I claim membership in 'that "all-too-
clever intelligentsia" that, in the mind of Mr.
Hervie Haufler, is pushing our helpless and
apathetic people into war.
Mr. Haufler's letter in Saturday's Daily does
not deserve serious discussion for its own sake.
for he nowhere descends to the level of reasoned
argument. He uses instead the method of lofty
cynicism, coupled with personal aspersion. This
method formerly characterized The Daily under
Mr. Haufler's leadership. Fortunately it is no
longer in vogue, as more and more people have
come to see that the issues before us cannot be
solved by mere expressions of distrust, suspicion,
and dislike.
THE WORLD is moving fast, and American
opinion is moving with it. It is easy, and to
some it may be comfortable, to attribute this to
a diabolically clever minority, who do the bid-
ding of the "rulers" of our society. In fact the
"rulers" (if by this is meant our business lead-
ers) have on the whole lagged behind the rest
of the population, through their reluctance to
sacrifice the profits of peace-time enterprise. Nor
has this clever minority, "the unpaid agents"
of Winston Churchill, quite the influence for
which Mr. Haufler and others give it credit. The
American people, alive, articulate, and informed
as never before, are slowly rousing themselves to
the crisis that confronts mankind. They are
listening to many voices and are themselves en-
gaged in a great debate. It is fortunate that they
have little patience left for those who can con-
tribute only a corrosive cynicism and an all-per-
vading distrust.

WASHINGTON-Biggest backstage decision
the Administration has had to make-next
to appeasement of Japan-has been the resolve
to put all its supply eggs in one basket and con-
centrate thousands of tons of tanks, airplanes,
trucks and aviation gasoline at the Arctic port
of Archangel.
Thiswas a very hazardous decision, and was
made only after considerable debate inside the
army and navy, where some officers argued that
Archangel could not be kept free of ice all winter;
that the Nazis would be able to take the railroad
leading to Archangel; and that priceless U. S.
supplies might be captured in the same way the
Eiritish lost their mechanized equipment at
Dunkerque.
Major reason for finally deciding on the Arch-
angel route was not fear of the Japanese at
Vladivostok, but two other factors:
(1) The long, long haul, not only 5,000 miles
across the Pacific, but 5,000 more miles across
the Trans-Siberian.
(2) The fact that the Russians were deter-
mined to put up an all-out, last-ditch stand at
the Volga River, and convinced Averell Harri-
man's military advisers they could do it.
World Watches Archangel
O, THE EYES OF THE WORLD will be
focused this winter on Archangel and the
battle of the Nazis to cut this American life-line
to the Russian Army. Here are some of the
factors influencing that battle.
First is ice. After January 2, the port of Arch-
angel and the White Sea are frozen solid. In
1918, when American troops spent a dreary win-
ter at Archangel, British ice-breakers were un-
able to keep the ice open. But though the Rus-
sians say they now have big modern ice-breakers
which can do the trick, U. S. experts still have

their fingers crossed.
A modern ice-breaker has no trouble cutting
through a frozen mass a couple of feet thick,
But when it gets to be seven feet thick, the ice-
breaker usually slides out on top of the ice and
sometimes gets stuck. Furthermore, the wind
and tides drift the ice after it is broken, so it
piles up in great vertical cakes seven and eight
feet high.
Finally the most difficult part of the Arch-
angel route is through the neck of the White Sea,
a narrow strip only fifty miles wide where the
land juts out under the water, making the chan-
nel even narrower.
says he will not fight until America is in-
vaded by armed forces has sold his birth-
right already.
BRITAIN AND RUSSIA are fighting out fight.
They are fighting their own fight, of course
but since we will suffer if they lose, it is our
fight too. It is not moral to stand by while others
do our work. It was immoral for the French and
British to sell out the Czechs. They have paid
dearly and will pay more dearly still for that. If
we do the same, we will reap our reward. You
regard interventionists bloody-minded war-mon-
gers. But if you had the courage to face the
facts. you would see that the course you advo-
