It is a military axiom that the point of an Allied front where the armies of two nations join is frequently the weakest, due to lack of integration of their organizations. It is characteristic of General Eisenhower that he has arranged for the point where the British and American Armies join to he one- of the strongest on the front, ar least as far as organization is concerned. The point is the Geilenkirchen sector. There the Germans can find no gap between the. British and American forces, but instead both forces fighting together as one. For Geilenkirchen was taken by the well co-ordinated action of British tanks and American infantry fighting as one unit and under the command of General t)empsey. What General Eisenhower has created is a strongly welded joint. General Eisenhower has declared himself to be optimistic, but with a warning against assuming that victory is in the bag. One may be sure that the warning is for the home front, for men at the fighting front can have no illusions about the tough fighting they are up against, both1 from the enemy and from tfie weather. The good news from Geilenkirchen, Metz, Belfort and Strasbourg, does not mean that the German Army is cracking and that a decision will be reached before spring. Now that the Germans are fighting in their own country an Allied advance may not mean that a break-through is imminent, such as happened in France and Belgium preceding the abandonment of those countries by the Germans. The Germans appear to have given up the folly of 'Stalingradism' and their retreats for some time to come may well be orderly and strategic. Every time ihey make one and tatfe up new positions nearer to. their bases, it means I i Hi mm tm . Wm. K M 9 "CLOTHES OF DISTINCTION" POULSEK'S LUNCH 6th AVE. E., BESIDE P.O.

Ihus, each successful German retreat makes the job in some respects more difficult. Of course, as lias been said before, much may depend on the state, of affairs on the Nazi home front. ' What Is To Be Uaineci ... The current debate in the House of Commons is intensely dramatic but in fact is a mere superfluity. The important thing was done last Week when the order-in-council was put .through by the government adopting the policy of conscription. That policy will now stand. The great political battle now proceeding in Parliament can be of no benefit and might be productive of a great deal of harm. The sooner it is over and done with. the better and we can only hope that it will not serve . . , . i .1? i i i i uj iiruvuKti more msuniiv wmcn it an-1 pears well on the way to doing. Prolonging of a Parliamentary debate actuated merely for the purpose of jockeying for political position seems most untimely at this time when much more' serious events are in climatic phase.
