ONE POLICY; ONE COMMAND.

ALLIES' GREATEST NEED. The Daily Mail reviews in a leader the controversy in America as to whether vast quantities of weapons and equipment should be retained there for the army of ten million men which the United States is planning, or whether they should be sent to sustain the existing fronts. The article states: "It is not only a question of supplies but of strategy. Ho\y soon are we to have the use of America's giant production as it comes along, or must we wait until ljer Army has reached a peak before attempting to settle the final account with the Axis? There is only one expianation for the different ideas now making themselves heard. It is that a settled, determined world strategy is still non-existent. The elaborate planning of 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 the 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." — London P.A. Cable.
