'He Also Told Us the A tlantic Wall Was Irmpregnable'
The0 Price of Victory
INVASION of the French coast by Allied forces
was, fortunately, not received by the American
people with an air of jubilation. But there is
gradually seeping into the news a feeling that
all is going better than expected. That what
was supposed to be a mass slaughter has not
turned out that way. That the Germans are
going to be a cinch to beat once our total
forces are amassed onl the beachhead and
are ready to roll.
Two repatriates just back from German
prison camps have forecast that victory will
come in five months. They base this view on
the changed attitude of their Nazi captors, who
used to demand the utmost submission to their
every whim. Now, the veterans say, "the gloom
caused by defeats on all fronts, especially in
Africa, got the Germans to such a state that
we could shout them down and tell them to
go to hell, and get away with it."
These notes of optimism are not to be taken
too seriously, however. It is probably true that
our losses have been relatively light. But that
word "relative" is a big one. In the same paper,
one soldier is quoted as saying that Anzio
was nothing like this. And losses at Anzio
were reported to be ahost the heaviest of tle
war to date.-
General Montgomery reports that the
casualties suftered by the first landing barges
to touch the French coast were expected to
be at least 10 per cent. We can be thankful
that the estimate proved wrong, but it does
not obscure the fact that hundreds and thou-
sands ol' men are dying fax tlin biood=staiiied,
109-mile beachlhead.
A few of the 4,000 German prisoners that are
said to have been captured thus far in the
invasion are supposed to be a sad and dis-
couraged lot. Some say they wish the war
would end in a hurry and the impression is being
spread that the German people are just about
ready to give up. However, this might be all
a clever rumor-planting trick of the never-to-
be-trusted German high-command whose only
chance is to fool us slyly into over-confidence.
One of the biggest jobs of those of us who
must stay at home is to guard against this
"it's in the bag" feeling. We must keep fight-
ing until the streets of Berlin feel the tread
of GI shoes. -Ray Dixon
I'd Rather Be Right

PERHAPS IT'S THE SPRING. Or perhaps it's
that we've been reading William James this
week. Or, more likely it's the invasion, Tues-
day. But somehow we can't feel that all is
lost and ah, youth, ah, ideals, ah, life.
The difficulty probably is that we didn't start
out as idealists, so that tle statement that his
is not an ideological war does not particularly
trouble us. Nor does the threat of giving up
our ideals. This is a real and practical war
which is being fought against a real enemy, not
against an idea. It is a sensible war we are
fighting against a system of enslavement for
mankind by a super-race, consisting of the
Americans on trial for sedition in Washington,
as well as the "Aryans" overseas.
If we had started out with the idea that this
was a "good" war, we might now be discouraged
by the knowledge that there is bad in it. But
since we don't think the adjectives "good" and
"bad" can apply very well to wars and slavery,
and since we know that mankind didn't sit
down one day and figure out the ideas behind
this war, we aren't su 'prised by the false starts
of the Allies on occasions. For us, the war is
not an idea, but the outcome of world econo-
mic and social forces moving too far from the
people's will.
As such, it naturally has both progressive
and regressive forces on our side. But there
is no redeeming feature about fascist slavery,
and that is why we believe in fighting its
If you want to, it is perfectly possible to
grow a beard and sit sadly weeping into your
beer over the fate of the world. But, the
strange thing is that it is also possible to add
up the trends and get a different answer-the
kind of answer that makes you strong and able
to fight. We all have to decide what our
attitude is going to be. James might' have
called it a decision which can't be reached purely
on the grounds of objective facts, but since it is
an important decision, it can be decided by
our "passional", emotional, natures. And these
we can finagle at will.
ONCE WE HAVE DECIDED that we have to
make up our minds about this world at war,
the next step is to figure out which decision
will make us lead happier lives. And as far
as we're concerned, "there is no happiness in
wearing grey-colored glasses on an otherwise
sunny day. We much prefer to look at the
world, and the world to be, as practically as
possible, and so that we can feel strong enough
to conquer it-not alone, but conquer it, none-
theless.
It is sad to see skeptics among youth who
aren't even old enough to vote. But peo e
who base their beliefs on idealism are lik y
to become skeptics someday, anyhow
when the elections come out the wrong way,
or the sun doesn't come out according to
schedule, they decide that mankind isn't
ready to live in the realm of ideas and all
is lost.
If you never expected the elections to come
out right . . . UNLESS YOU WORKED IN
TIHEM, and if you didn't predict that the sun

NEW YORK, June 9--We must not think in
terms of territory alone. We must not too
anxiously follow the march of pins across the
iap. We must think in terms of the destruc-
tion of the Nazi armies. That is the only clue
to an understanding of the great movements in
this war.
This is not a war to capture towns, but a war
to destroy the Nazi power. And a Nazi retreat
of a hundred miles in France, if it permitted
the Nazi armies to regroup intact and form a
really durable defense line, would be a profound
strategic defeat for us, though we newly held
a hundred miles of France.
All the football symbolisms are grotesquely
wrong; the "gain" of ten miles, the "plunge"
through center; for the point of this game is not
to advance an imaginary ball, to destroy
the opposing team. It is of relatively minor
importance on which part of the field this is
done, near or far.
In interpreting the news from France we must
avoid touchdown psychology, always remember-
ing how futilely the Nazis once carried the
ball to Stalingrad.
Whether our troops sweep on for fifty miles,
or whether our first combat teams remain
relatively near the sea, while other landings
occur elsewhere; all news of this sort must
be read in the light of what is happening
to the Nazi armies. Are the Nazi troops
being diverted from their own chosen ob-
jectives? Are they being disorganized, cut off,
pocketed? That is the real military news
of this war. This real news will not be
revealed by dispatches telling us that we
have gained a mile or lost a mile.
Our generals are certainly thinking in terms
of destruction of the Nazi military machine,

mobilize only a part of their forces at the

OUR OBJECTIVE, once we have established
room for maneuver, will be ,not to press the
Germans back to ever narrower concentric cir-
cles of defense, but to keep them endlessly
and uselessly busy on the perimeter of the
great circle of attack that includes the Russian,
Yugoslav and Italian, as well as the French
front.
That is total war, a war of total conceptions,
not of pitched local battles. The Russians have
taught us a great deal about it in the dancing
agility of their offensives on their own long
front, which had, in part, a territorial aim, but
had, in main, the aim of keeping the Germans
constantly displaced, so that they have spent
a year running to threatened points, always
to find, on arrival, that they were still at the
wrong station.
The Russian strategic aim has been the de-
struction of the German armies, in pursuit
of which, they have, of course, won territory;
while the german lust for territory in the
Ukraine brought them nothing because they
failed to injure the Russian army formations.
We must test our progress in France by how
thoroughly we disorganize and damage the Ger-
man army. The military aim of this war is the
destruction of the fascist power. That, of course,
is also our political aim. The two conceptions
are identical. 'They must be kept identical, if
we are to carry the war through to a genuinely
successful and genuinely meaningful finish.

WASHINGTON, June 9--Now that
the greatest invasion in the history
of modern warfare has started, some
of the inside story regarding this, the
most controversial question that has
confronted the Allies, can be re-
viewed.
It is no secret that the second
front has been the sorest subject
of debate between tlhe British and
Ruissians and, at times, even be-
tween U. S. and British military
leaders, since the war began.
At one time, when the Russians
were hard-pressed and fighting for
their lives at Stalingrad and in the
winter of 1942-1943, it was feared by
some U. S. military observers that
Stalin might even - withdraw from
the war because of bitterness over
the fact that the second front was
not started.
The controversial question first
arose in the early summer of 1942,
a few months after Pearl Harbor,
when Foreign Minister Molotoff came
to London, then to Washington, for
important political-military confer-
'nces.
At that time, the American Army
was relatively small and not too well
prepared. Molotoff's thesis was thiat
we should persuade our British al-
lies, with a million-maan army in
England, to hit Germany from the
West. President Roosevelt had to
say that we could not high-pressure
an ally.
CoGrprtbltisc tit C sablanca
The Russians wemre disappointed;
but even more so after Casablanca,
There U. S. military and naval lead-
ers were definitely ready to discuss
the second front. But Churchill laid
down the thesis that in any cross-
channel operation, the ratio of troops
would have to be about 70 percent
American to 30 percent British.
From the British viewpoint, he
made a plausible argument for this,
pointing out that Britain had lost
her "seed" when she poured the
cream of her manhood .into Flanders
Fields in 1914. .This, he said, had
set England back perhaps a genera-
tion, and she could not afford to lose
her "seed" again. He also pointed
out that England's population was
less than one-third that of the U
S. A.
However, at the late of submarine
sinkings at that time, it was im-
possible to ship American troops
across the Atlantic in enough num-
bers to make up 70 percent of an
invasion army.
Churchill at that time wanted
to invade the Balkans. General
Marshall favored a second front
in Western Europe. So, instead,
they compromised on Italy which,
except for Sicily and the extreme
south, nobody really wanted to in-
vade.
Highly expectant communiques
were issued after each conference,
so that the world got the impression
that the second front was immi-
nent. However, judging by their
military movements, the Germans
were not much concerned over these
communiques, and probably knew
that, even after the Quebec confer-
ence in the summer of 1943, Chu-
chill and Roosevelt still were not able
to agree on the second front.
Next came the Teheran Confer-
ence. Only then was an agreement
reached that the British and Amer-
ican forces should attack Germany
across the channel while Russia hit
her from the East.
