ALL OUT TO WIN
United Nations’ Chance
LONDON, August 30.
Prophets of a long-drawn-out war are attacked by Mr. J. L. Garvin iu the “Sunday Express.” Some observers regard his criticism as a reply to statements made by Sir Earle Page, who forecast that the war would last 10 years. Mr. Garvin says: "Some witnesses, neither uninformed nor irresponsible, begin to speak of a seven-yea rs’ or 10years’ war. That fatalistic conception must lie banished from our minds, shunned like pestilence. That vague notion of victory indefinitely deferred until 1950 or near it would bring a creeping lethargy into democratic councils. “A war for the world might end tor the democracies in the dull catastrophe of stalemate. Not for a moment dure we stomach the theory of dragging out the conflict. From now on war planning and war waging must have two definite objects, first, nothing less than an absolute victory, both in arms and in peace; second, to shorten the war. “If Russia holds for two months the United Nations can triumph within two years.”
