The closer we draw to the groat
Russo-Oennan clash, which likely
will be the decisive battle of the
war. the greater Is the urge among
Allied peoples for the opening up
of a second front in Western Bu-
rope to support the Soviet effort
The most striking advocacy of
this adventurous strategy cornea

tor in Washington, the powerful
and outspoken Lnrd Beaverbrook,

tion is one of the worlds famous
newspaper publishers The "Bea-
ver.” as he is called in Loudon,
urges his own country to "strike
out violently • • • even recklessly”
to aid the Muscovites.
He took this sensational stand
before a distinguished audience at
the annual dinner of the Bureau
of Advertising of the American
Newspaper Publishers Association
In New York Coming from one so
close to Premier Churchill it has
aroused enthusiastic hopes among
supporters cf a second front.
This is a chance. ’ said the "Bea-
ver,” to bring the war to an end
here and iu>w. But if the Russians
are defeated and driven out of the
war. never will tuch a chance come
to us again.**

vasion of Western Europe to some-
thing which only the supreme com-
mend can decide
Six month. ago it probably would
have been suicidal partly beoMtae
of lack of ships and other prep-
aration and paiUv because of Ru-
ler's great sln-ngti: and the mobil-
ity of his striking power. Since
then, however, the arch aggressor
has taxen a fierce beating at the
hands of the Hr ds. and his forces
in Western Europe have been weak-
ened. Thus it may be the Allied
Council will decide that the time
has come fur an all-out gamble.
What struck me as one of Bea-
verorouk's sbrowdect observations
was that the Russian* might be the
means of bilnging the whole Axis
stiucture down merely “by holding
the Getmana in dteck.” As so often
explained in thir column, Hitler's
main ol jcctlve is to break through
to the resources without which he
esnnot continue the war. and If
he can be held—can be prevented
from reaching those supplies- then
“ te wffi be to right
Jo Certainty Yet
But while we have a right to
hope that the Russians, with Alitod
help, can hold and even defeat Hit-
ler. I think we shall make a grave
mistake to assume that thto hold-
ing to a foregone conclusion. The
Nasi leader still has vast strength
at hto disposal and to terribly dsn-
geroua. We can bo sure that the
Bolshevists need all the belp they
can get. and if by chance things
develop better than expected, so
much to the good.
