Show Eto economic highlights it Is significant that the most aggressive opposition to winston churchill in E england has developed from his refusal to open a new trout front in europe the demand for this has largely come from labor MP s buttney but they have be been on given the support ot of a number of conservatives and liberals al s the tha feeling Is growing in many quarters teri that hillers Hit lers russian campaign hag for the first time sufficiently diverted his energies and resources so that it may be possible to carry the war to germany the military problems involved if in this are enormous and no layman laman la Is in a pos titon to discuss them there Is however a problem of morale involved which Is of the utmost importance unrest in the nations which hitler has haa occupied Is obviously growing the horrible toll of executions in occupied france Is evidence of that hillers Hit lers henchmen arent killing french citizens for tun fun but because they endanger the pur purposes boses and policies of the reich so go it if Is ii argued that if the allies auld start an aggressive military camp campaign algil against hitler on the continent the subjugated poo peoples ples would be immensely encouraged and would increase the efte extent nt and scope ot 01 their opposition there Is little doubt but what that argument his has validity if tor for instance british troops could i effect a landing on french soil boll and push the germans back the democratic world would take it as a in ira culous tonic but it Is 19 app apparent arent that mr churchill and his high com command mand even though they realize this believe belleve that the time Is not right and here again a morale as well as a military problem is involved the hard truth is that england has had nothing but failure in her land operations against germany during this war her navy and air force have done w wonders on ders her infantry and her artillery and her mechanized divisions on the other hand have been completely unable to cope with their german enemies this Is no critic criticism larn of the courage or resolve of tommy atkins kip lings thin red line of eroes lorbes still remains but british
