Weakness of Whole

Italy's catastrophe springs from inc
weakness Of the whole anu-German
group. The Allies are loose Jolnteu'
without unified control and definite oo-

Germany dominates the CentIail

Whether this is so or no is not worth
discussing. The point is that the
way to obtain supplies should not be
by conducting a spectacular military
effort. Nor should it be by buying
them and heaping them up in New
York and then campaigning for ships
