DIVIDED STRATEGY
Need Urged For World
War Plan (Received October 12, 9.25 p.m.) LONDON, October 12.
The “Daily Mall,” In a leading article, reviews the controversy in America on whether vast quantities of weapons and equipment should be retained there for the army of 10,000,000 men which the United States is planning or whether they should be sent to sustain the existing fronts. It states: “It is not only a question of supplies, but also of strategy. How soon are we to have the use of America’s giant production? As it comes along? Or must we wait till her army has reached the peak before attempting to settle the final account with the Axis?
“There is only one explanation for the different ideas that are now making themselves heard. It is that a settled and determined world strategy is still non-existent. The elaborate planning and production machinery on both sides of the Atlantic is plainly not sufficient. We still need a general staff with a supreme commander in the West who can see the plan of war as a whole.
“The question must not be allowed to drift. We must have one policy. Without it we have not unity but disunity, not victory but defeat.”
