So much for facts and figures. For
the remainder of their calculations
and deductions, military experts re-
sort to theories. They believe that
Premier Benito MuSsolini, relying
upon the effectiveness of his air
force against surface ships, has been
emboldened to take his present posi-
ton, which is reckoned here as be-
ing very close to risking a decisive
test of strength, air versus sea.
They consider that Great Britain,
realizing that loss of control over
the short sea route through the
Mediterranean and Suez Canal to
India and the Far East might be
the beginning of the end for the
Empire, would likely risk such a
decisive test in an effort to main
tain control of the life line"
They consider that British lead
ers, too, are basing their feeling of
Security upon theory.
Evidence of concern among Brit
iSh leaders over possible outcome of
showdown for control of the
Mediterranean is seer by officials
here in reports that Britain recently
has begun to rehabilitate the naval
base on Mauritius Island. of The
southeastern coast of Africa. This
base never was large or formidable,
and has been little used in the last
20 years. 1t is not near the main
trade routes since steam power and
the Suez Canal rendered the sea
route around Africa a long and un-
necessary journey.

WASHINGTON. Sept. 2O.-Italy's
specialization in highly developed
airplanes and submarines, rather
than her ambitions to control Eth
opia. constitute the real threat to
the British Empires lifeline
through the Mediterranean in view
of military and naval strategists
here.
These experts are watching closely
the rapidly growing tension between
Italy and Great Britain. and the
consequent concentration Of most of
Britain's sea strength between
Gibralter and the Suez Canal
With technical development and
advancement in the air and under
the surface Of the sea, Britain has
lost the control which she exercised
for so many years over the Mediter-
ranean Sea route, these officials de-
clare.
This sea route is considered the
very life line" of the British En-
pire, linking England with India
and the Far East.
Italy Superior in Air
Ttalv has an admitted superiority
OF airplanes. Military officials here
estimate that in a supreme test
with the British fleet Italy might be
able to put 1900 to 1900 fighting and
bombing planes into action. The
British sea force, observers here
estimate. could muster only $50 to
300 planes for such a contest, Off
Gals here believed that most of the
British air force would be held close
to England proper.
Italy also has a superiority of sub
marines. Since 1922 she has laid
down 81 submarines. against % by
Britain. In other categories Great
Britain has clear superiority.
Effectiveness of one fleet of
known strength and ship categories
against another fleet can be figured
quite accurately from past naval
battles. Fleet maneuVerS have
worked out methods for taking care
of" enemy submarines, even though
those be excessive in numbers.
Never Tested i'm Combat
But the airplane never mas been
tested against the battleship under
wartime conditions. No one knows
for a certainty how much damage
a feet of bombing planes could do
to surface ships maneuvering freely
End fighting back. No one knows
how effective all the highly de-
veloped anti-aircraft guns and arm
aments of the surface ships would
be.
Aerial bombing tests against bat
tleships have been conducted against
defenseless old ships without crews
aboard. Tests of anti-aircraft guns
and other new equipment have beer
carried out against targets tOWed BY

On July 4th or weekend and vacation trips you'll

if this speed and heat will hurt anything in my

You can't always be sure when you use plain

and oils over-re6ned by new cleansing processes
have even less Moreover, as motor heat goes up,
these oils rapidly lose film strength.
Film strength is the load-carrying ability of an

from wearing out. Lack of film strength results
in costly damage.

MEXICO To GIVE

CATHOLICS

MEXICO CITY, July 1 G.N.So.
With a view to inaugurating an
"era of understanding and good
will" the new Mexican cabinet
held it's first meeting under Presi-
dent Lazaro M. Cardenas today
intent on issuing a decree of am
nesty governing all political and
clerical exiles driven out OF
Mexico in the past 20 years.
AS exclusively predicted by
International News Service more
than a week ago, the new 100
per cent Cardenas" government
moved to ease restrictions against
Catholic worship in Mexico.
The decree will apply to those
convicted of revolutionary
charges, and this will take in all
of the church leaders oppressed
for "inciting rebellion" against
the state by carrying on certain
religious activities.
Among the foremost church
leaders who will be permitted to
return to Mexico in the near fu'
ture are Archbishop leopold
Ruiz y Flores, Papal delegate to
Mexico, now in San Antonio,
Tex, and Archbishop Francisco
Orozco Y Jiminez, and Jose
Zarate, bishop of Huejutla.
Former President Adolfo de la
Huerta also will be allowed to re-
turn to Mexico.
