Vhout A Second Front
Th( re has been plenty of talk about the prospect of
a second front to relieve Russia. Here is what a few
well known commentators and analysts have to say
on the subject:
DcVVitt MacKcnzie, Wide World analyist: It cannot
be emphasized too strongly that only the allied high
command is in position to judge whether the establish
ment of a second front in Europe is feasible at this
juncture. If such an operation is practicable we un
doubtedly shall get it, since it is obvious that any action
which would compel a diversion of Nazi strength from
the Soviet theatre in the near future might well mean
the difference between victory and defeat for the hard
pressed Russians in the crucial battle for the Caucasus.
Raymond Gram Swing, MBS: It is doubtful if a sec
ond front could be opened now on a scale affecting the
war in a permanent strategic way. But it may be im
perative to open one at a sacrifice, so as to maintain
unity with Russia and to keep the possibility of a truly
effective two-front war next year.
Major George Fielding Elliott, N. V. Herald Tribune
and CBS: We must use every available means of divert
ing German forces from the Rusisan front. That is the
real meaning of “scond front.” We should effect the
maximum diversion possible whether by bombings, by
commando raids or by actual invasion of the European
continent. Our methods must be in accordance with
our means, especially shipping.
Upton Close, NBC Far-East expert: In my opinion
the place to start a second front now to help Russia and
r t run into almost impossible risk is in Siberia, be
j. nning on Russian Kamchatka with a thousand trans
port. fighter and bomber planes. Otherwise. Soviet
Russia will be compelled to compromise with or suffer
invasion bv Japan.
Morgan Beatty, BLU network: Time for an Allied
counter attack is after the Nazi summer .offensive has
reached its peak, which should be about Sept, ti when
the weather in Russia begins to interfere and the sup
ply problem grows acute. I think the term “second
front" too vague for adequate calculation, but .suggest
supply lines to Russia the most important second front
possible.
Hanson W. Baldwin, N. Y. Times: Operations that
are strategically desirable are not always strategically
possible. There can be no doubt that now or within the
next few weeks the opening of a second front on the
continent of Europe would be very desirable strategical
ly. But the shipping shortage, supply difficulties, in
adequately trained troops in sufficient numbers: the
great strength of the German fortifications along the
coast of Europe, and the great size of the Axis armies
which permit large garrisons in western Europe de
spite the heavy concentrations in Russia would make
the establishment now or in the near future another
permanent land front in Europe, very, very hazardous
indeed, more of a desperate gamble than a practical
military operation.
