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 By SAMUEL GRAFTON - - -___ K f 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 10 ..... 1..... 2. ...... , Conflicts, College the Arts: Sat., June .

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, r~rr3 r~ F m~r ls 't' # 't ~t t tlPCCIYQ 'It. ha'. - ITregulars Make-ups..... .

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.

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.
