PAGE FOUR OLEAN TIMES-HERALD, MONDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1941 WASHINGTON i. r.i on MERRY-GO-ROUND ly I A I I WASHINGTON--Unfortunate and inside fact about the statements and counter-statements for a Second Front is that they have increased suspicion, blame, and even bitterness between governments which have to pull together. The British are blaming: the United States, the Russians are blaming both. This has little to do with Wendel! Willkie's visit and the clamor he touched off. The lesentment was smouldering long before, and had been stated just as pungently and forcefully in diplomatic cables.

The trouble goes back to Foreign Minister Molotoffs visit early in the summer which terminated with no clear understanding on a Second Front in Europe. At that visit, the President agreed in principle regarding the urgency of a Second- Front, but called in Chief of Staff Gen. Marshall and Commander ot the Fleet Admiral King, who. after detailed studies, pointed out to the Russians the great risks involved in a Second Front before the United States was ready: also the effect upon Occupied Europe should a Second Fiont lail. JEJws.

Churchill and Stalin, reviewing the conclusions of the experts, came to grips. They parted on good terms, but only after being very frank and at times even belligerent with each other. However, though no Second Front was agreed upon. Churchill did accomplish the mam purpose for which he went to Moscow. That was to alloy feais that Russia might withdraw from the war and make a separate peace with Germany.

How serious these reports actually were, perhaps never will be known. But at any rate, Stalin gave him assurances that Russia would put up the best defense possible at Stalingrad and fight to the bitter end. Meanwhile Churchill piomised that the Second Front would con- Holland. Xoiway, Po'anu, Lzech- cslovakia and the Balkans all give up their struggle and fig- tinue under discussion. Churchill was against it.

President Roosevelt continued to be for uTe 6 that" future "leslstence" was i i humanly possible. And this hopeless Molotoif was told, if the belief that a Second Front must mighty United States, which turn- be established somehow, some ed the tide in 191S, now should fan. way. was behind his Labor Day speech, which, though ambiguous, was interpreted as pledging a Second Front in Europe. MILITARY ADVISERS OPPOSED Roosevelt'? chief stumbling block, however, has been his own military and naval advisers, especially Admiral Leahy.

Although they have not been opposed to a Second Front in certain other areas, they have been very much opposed to the kind of second front which would satisfy Stalin, namely in France or Northern Europe, where it would be a direct Bennett Touring Upstate By KIKTXAND I. KING rnitt'd Staff Correspondent WITH BENNETT CAMPAIGN TOUR IN WESTERN NEW YORK--Attorney General John J. Bennett, Democratic candidate or Governor, swept through traditionally Republican territory today, beginning an extensive bid 'or support in upstate New York. Traveling from New York City train, Bennett's first stop was Batavia. Later he will visit Allion, Medina, Lockport and Gene- ee county, with his second major ampain speech at Niagara Falls onight.

The Attorney General, It vas said, will probably discuss ew York's participation in the var effort and appeal 'for election of an "experienced" administration in tonight's address. Thus far in the campaign, Bennett has raised one major issue-immediate development of the St. Lawrence river power resources to provide cheap electricity for farmers and supply war industries with Cattle Shown At School Fair A HORXETS' NEST So nothing was agreed to in detail--except the general principle that a Second I 1 ront in Europe would be started just as soon as the United States was ready. But no time was set. It was about Gen.

Mai shall delivered his graduation speech at West Point definitely promising a Second Front, though rixing no time. Afterward, the President received a phone call from Churchih which upset him considerably. Churchill warned that Marshall's speech was too definite, would arouse false hopes. Gen. Marshall had made the tion of Dakar of French West threat to Germany.

The oceupa- speech obviously with the advance okay of the President, and for the purpose of worrying the Germans into diverting troops from Russia to France. By a stroke of circumstance, the President had scheduled a conference with Senate leaders, plus Gen. Marshall, Admiral King, Donald Nelson and other war chiefs, just before the Churchill phone call came in. Afterward, he was obviously upset, warned Nelson that he must have more steel, "and don't tell me you can't get it." Then turning sharply to Gen. Marshall he warned that there were to be no more Second Front speeches.

Churchill, ot course, was noti Africa apparently would not satisfy Stalin. But the opposition of certain high U. S. Army-Navy officers to a European front has been very strong indeed. There the matter rests, which is why Stalin has brought the matter so frankly and vigorously out into the open through Willkie and the Associated Press.

What the Russians have made very clear, and what most people do not is that it is no.t_ merely a matter of munitions-vital though that is--but also a question of keeping the Russian people alive. Russia has now lost her granaries, and millions this present at the Molotoff conversations, so high U. S. officials flew to London to get his views. This was mid-summer.

Meanwhile, the Nazi mechanized legions were plunging across the plains of South Russia toward Stalingrad at the rate of twenty to fifty miles a day. Meanwhile, also Army-Navy needs had sidetracked certain supplies which might have gone to Russia, convoys via Murmansk had suffered heavily, and Stalin was getting more and more irate over lack of Allied support. BRITAIN-IT. S- 50-30 But Churchill remained more convmved that a Second Front in Etmye was out of the question year. Among other things, he wanted an approximate 50-50 participation of U.

S. and British troops; enough American troops at least to replace the British in England and defend it if the Second Front failed. So Churchill, the chief NO man. flew to Moscow to present his views to Stalin face to face, and if possible smooth ciown the rumpled featheis of the Russian leader. On the first day of the conference, ail went well.

Stalin, the communist, and Churchill, the arch-conservative, got along beautifully. On the second day the experts sat down, but did not get along so well. On the third day, i winter will suffer or starve Russia has also lost her coal deposits and is largely cut off from her oil--while S. oil companies and U. S.

government agencies have dickered and frittered away priceless months trying to decide whether Russia should be given closed-down Texas oil refineries-all because the big oil companies wanted to be paid royalties (even though they never took out patents in Russia). Naturally, because of all this, morale is not too good in Russia. And the Willkie-Stalin statements are relatively mild compared with the sentiment of the Russian people. This is what returning Ambassador Standley doubtless will report to the White House, and this is one of the big factors to be considered regarding a Second Front in Europe.
