A SECOND FRONT
Si r _“j.G.1.” has answered his own argument by his own quotation: “Wherever the High Command deems it best.”—Yours, etc., E. C. HYDE. August 14, 1942. Sir,—Your correspondents need not worry over the problem of a second front in Europe by America and Britain. These countries have to deal not only with the matter of invading Europe, but of holding their positohs and of arming the invaded countries. Remember what happened to Norway and later to the Greeks, and then judge what an unsuccessful invasion would mean. In the meantime the commando raids and the mere threat of invading the long coastline are putting no small strain on well-bombed Germany. How about a third front here? We seem to have woefully underestimated Japan’s power, but are we to swing round in the other direction now, and let her fight us one by one?— Yours, etc., T.A.S. August 14, 1942.
