THE DAILY SUN-TIMES, OWEN SOUND, ONTARIO, FRIDAY, JULY 17, 1942 Allied Governments Must Decide When to Strike Blow War Analysis Has Hunch 10 Warships Month Invasion Not Far Off Now Canada's Rate MUST SUCCEED (By Dewitt MacKenzie, Associated Press War Analyst) There can be no dispute with the assection by Maj. -Gen. Zhuravlev, military, a expert German the command Moscow da trying to defeat the Red Army before a second front can be opened in Europe," athough that the only reason for Herr Hitler's speed. Moreover, it's doubtful if there are many experts who wouldn't say that the front ought to opened in the nea: future -if feasible.

The fact that the Allied leadership hasn't yet attempted an invasion of Western Europe ought to make it clear that thus far it hasn't been possible. Our eagerness to help callant Russia in her magnificent stand, and to smash Genghis Hitler, shouldn't be allowed to upset our perspective. After all, the Allied command is just as anxious to win this war as is the man in the street. It strikes me that the public pressure which is being aimed at all the Allied governments to compel an opening of a second front is a dangerous thing.

The governments already have agreed this front shall be opened as soon As feasible, and this is no time for civilians to try to force the hands of military leaders. When surgical operation is to be performed you call in a specialist and military decisions must be left to the professional soldiers. Hun Move Near Personally I have a feeling that it will not be long before there is an allied invasion of Western Europe. That feeling, which still persists. isn't basset, on official information-it's hunch.

However, this unprecedented operation were undertaken without proper preparation it might produce an Allied disaster which would end the war then and there. And don't forget this: If things went wrong with this great adventure, there would be a long, long line of boys who wouldn't be com1ng back home.
