Single Command Hints At Scope 0fN-cw Uflcnsivc

ti] Kirk L. Simpson Associated Press Staff Writer

WASHINGTON. July 2. —-(A.P) —0nly pixeliminary phases m? the offensive launched against the Jap- anese are yet discernible, but the fact that American - Australian ground, all’ and sea forces involved have been merged undm supreme command oi Gen. Douglas McAr- th-ur testifies that major strategic objectives are aimed at.

Those objectives were set at the recent joint British-American Staff conferences at Washington The de- aision to establish a single comm- and, paralleling that of General D. Eisenhower in North and West Af- rica, was also taken at that time. It placed Admiral William ll‘. Kinsey's forces of the South Pacific Comm- a-nd as fully under MacArthur! or- ders as necessary for co-ordinated

in the western Mediterranean have been under Gen. Eisenhower's coin- mand and still are for impen“ trans-Mediterranean atacks from French, Africa.

The North Africa campaign was the first Allied example of complet- ely unified command in this war. It violated Britislh service traditions: but its success in Tunisia made it the pattern for what now has been established in the south-southwest- ern Paciilc tinder MacArthur. The same pattern unquestionably is in prospect for the India-Burma oper- ations to come...

Informed naval opinion in Wash- ington credits Admiral oi the Fleet Sir Andrew Cunningham. British Naval Commander in the Mediterr- anean, with a major share in the success cf the North African cam-

‘oaign for his prompt ard whole-

hearted acceptance of the single command idea. There was no pre- cedent for it in Royal Navy annals but Admiral Cunningham waved aside traditionalist. nhiections and worked closely with Eisenhower to achieve the desired results.

The same co-ooeration on the part oi Admiral l-Ialsev under Mac- Arthurs general direction of the op- ening aggressive campaign against. the Javanese is not only expected in Wivhlngton but already clearly lndlcatx‘ from the scene oi action As far as the fight has vet gone. it demonstrates anew in lilie opinion oi highest ranking military and naval authorities here the value oi the single comm -d technique at th- front to carry out strategic dir- ectlves.

military service being maintained? Why is this army not being made available for the tasks oi the farm and the factory and the mine. if it is not to be used where the fight- ing must be done."

There was no direct reference in his prepared speech to the Ontario election Aug 4 but he did indicate that he would not take any part. in the campaign.

Mr. Brae n mentioned the elec- tion directly, however, in an ex- temporaneous reference to Lt. Col. George ew, Provincial party leader who introduced him. He said: "George has been handed a great opportunity in the last y or two. which he la fully capa le oi meeting.

A number of western members questioned him on the relative costs of using grain alcohol instead of petroleum as a source of syn- thetic rubber.

Mr. Gardiner, without going into detail, said there had been most exhaustive study in Canada. Can- adian officials had had the ad- vantage of knowledge gained by ex- perts in the United States and oth- er countries before deciding to make petroleum the raw material in Canada's synthetic rubber plant at Sarnia, Ont.

I-Ie assured members, however, that this question was receiving continuous study and no informa- tion gained 1n this or other coun- tries was being overlooked.

A number of western members said Canada should go into labor- atory experimental work on an ex- tenslve scale to seek out possibil- ities of using farm products for uses apart from food.

The experimental farms item of $588,560 was passed in a few min- utes, with Gordon Graydon, Pro- gressive Conservative House lead er, and John Blackmore, New Democracy leader, making one sen- tence speeches paying tribute to operation of that branch.

C. H. Castleden (CCF. Yorkton) brought up the subject oi pota- toes. Mr. Gardiner said that. if Canadian farmers were guaranteed a suitable price they would pro- duce enough "to supply the cori- tliient."

But. he said, it would play havoc with the potato industry ii the 300.000 farmers in the west grew only one acre of potatoes each.

“Whether that is a good thing

we live. Nevertheless let us re- solve once more today to make. every effort. to further our Nat- ion's Welfare by gludlv assuming the increased responsibilities which the present conditions impose. By so doing we will hasten the day of victory and do our part towards the building of a better social or- der in which mankind can move,- forward in peace and security and.

and spiritual development." Managing Director's Report I

Dr. J. T. Crotcau. managing di I rector, reported that two new cre- dit unions had been organized dur- ing the past year, the Grand River Credit Union of Grand River and the United Credit Union of Milo.
