REICH AND ITALY
HELD VULNERABLE
Would Lose to England and
France in War, Report
Declares.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The Foreign Policy Association said
today that Great Britain and France
could defeat Germany and Italy if the
Spanish situation led to European
war
A report, written by David H. Pop
per of the associations research staff,
suggested that frank declaration by
the democracies that they would stand
would be more successful in dimin-
ishing the likelihood of q European
conflict" than present policies.
The superior strategic position OF
Britain and France in the Mediter-
ranean," Pepper said, enables these
states, if they WILL to inaugurate
policy of firm resistance to the Fascist
countries in the Spanish crisis.
Unless they can win a war In
Europe within a relatively short per-
iod-a contingency most military ex-
perts consider highly unlikely-Ger-
many and Italy will be subjected to
the pressure of Anglo-French sea
power which still can sweep enemy
commerce from the outer oceans.
Despite the drive for national self
suficiency in the relationships, this
factor may prove decisive in long
war
Under present conditions, Euro
pean war would almost certainly find
France at the side of Britain, while
Germany might possibly join Italy.
In such a case, the democracies would
enjoy unquestioned superiority in
navies and bases, together with at
least parity in the air.
The defensive organizations of the
two nations are complementary to
notable degree. Britain's home feet
may command the Eastern Atlantic
and the North Sea while France con-
centrates its naval forces, including its
formidable new cruiser, destroyer and
submarine fotillas, in the Western
Mediterranean.
THE democratic states are in a
position to utilize their strategic and
diplomatic advantage to carry out
policy of firm resistance to Fascist
ambitions A clear decision on
this point by Britain and France would
greatly contribute to the general po-
Itical and economic settlement which
they now are trying to negotiate in
Europe.
