Second. Front
R,eipemhering that the urging of,,
a second front' in 'Western' Europe
goes back' to the 'summer of 1941,
it is easy 'to ,understand; the 4m -
patience of the layman in Britain
and America ail he sees'the Nazis
driving close to Stalingrad. Yet
we may be sure that United Na-
tions strategy., has not overlooked
• the importance of keeping the
far over the • Continent the air
front can be mtaintained Is the
most vital question. Britain
couldn't held Norway because Ther
short-range fighter planes based In
England, couldn't protect her land
and sea, forces there, while the
Germans, with short -hop land com-
munications -could base both
laombers apd fighters in Norway.
One secret of Dunkirk was that.
there the RAF jontrolled the air.
It •is well to remember that It re-
quired a weekto take 335,000 men
across the Channel from Dunkirk
—without equipment. With im-

the war returned to Danzig when •
British' four -motored beemisegs div-
ed
through a Sum er thunder •
storm in broad daylight to raid
the city at house -top altitude. , The
raid—a 1,600 -mile round trip—was
significant of Britain's • mounting
air power., Of more significance
was the desperate need. of the Un-
ited Nations 'that, made the raid
necessary.
The =British 'fliers over Danzig
•had orders to _attack one target—
.rhe submarine building: yards. The
mounting toll of ships sunk by
submarines tar away in the At•

sary for the United Nations to
