Or. Lymar H. Harris lais, and able
onl. III small part to feed her peo-
pie with food producer at home.
Dependent on Strategy
Yet this small island is the
world financial, banking, and in
a capital am one of the
greatest industrial nations. In
spite of her disadvantages, Great
Britain is a great power largely
because she has stra e eically To-
Gated colonies and dependencies
scattered over the world and a
powerful navy with which to keep
open the channels of :ommunica-
tion.
Lifeline" is Vital
Thus England obtains food here,
wool and cotton there, rubber and
il somewhere else. Britain must
keep open the lines of communica-
ton to the sourc OF supply.
Of vital Importance is the line
which passes through the Mediter-
ranean to India, the Malay States,
China, and Australasia. Germany
could threaten this line from the
North Sea. Britain must maintain
friendly relations with France and
Portugal to protect il; she is ex-
tremely unwilling, therefore, to
have an unfriendly power gain a
foothold in the Azores and Canary
Islands.
Egypt Puppet State
Britain controls both ends of the
Mediterranean section with bases
at Gibraltar ano Sucz; there is a
halfway house at Malta and IN the
eastern Mediterranean Britain
holds C; prua, ana Haifa in Pale
slime. Egypt Is really a British
puppet kingdom. Britain also has
the strong case Of Akaba at the
southern entrance t. the suez Ca
nal and Alden a the southern en-
trance to the Red Sea.
Mediterranean SituatioD Unstable
The Mediterranean route is a
great convenience to Britain but in
time of war it might Re turned into
a death trap Submarines and
bombing planes could render it alb
solutely untenable for British ship
ping. Italy has a gate" across
this route in the island of Pantel-
leria midway between Sicily and
Africa and doubtless could close
it. England will be further threat
ened if Italy and Germany gain
permanent footholds in Spain and
the Balearic Islan1s.
In case of war with a Mediteran-
Ear power Britain. would probably
abandon this route and divert traf-
fic oy the Cape of Good Hope; a
new naval base is under construc-
ton at Cape Town. In the Indian
Ocean England has bases
and enemy submarines would not
be able to operate, while at Singa-
pore Britain is completing a $45,-
100000 naval and air base.
The Mediterranean lifeline is not
indispensable.

COMMISSIONERS OPPOSE
DIVERSION OF. ROAD FUND
Western Shore Officials Favor
Reassessment of, Property

Last Thursday at + Frederick the
Western Shore County Commission
ers' Association Went on record as be-
ing opposed to diversion of gasoline
tax funds for any use other than the
roads.
The Association adopted a ;resolu-
ton opposing such diversion of funds
as Governor Harry W. Nice proposed
in his budget and notice of the action
has been sent to the Legislature.
Similar action was taken at the
meeting of the Eastern Shore County
Commissioners Association in Annap-
oils Friday. The Western Shore group
was invited to attend the Annapolis
meeting and sent representative
number in response to the invitation.
The commissioners also reaffirmed
their stand in favor of general re-
assessment of real and personal prop
erty this year. They went on record
as opposing a pending bill postponing
the reassessment.
Wants Monthly Payments
No definite action was taken on the
relief question, but A. Charles Stewart,
of Allegany county, president of the
association, suggested means of cas-
ing the difficulties the counties some
times face.
He suggested the legislature require
the State Comptroller to distribute
public assistance funds to the coun-
ties every thirty days instead of every
three months, as at present.
Under the present system. he said,
nearly every county ran out of relief
funds at the end of each quarter and
had to borrow money OF advance funds
to meet welfare needs pending the next
quarterly distribution.
Six counties were represented at the
meeting-Frederick, Washington, AL
legany, Garrett, Montgomery and Car
roll. Representatives of all but Car
roll said they used all their relief
SdIIO4L ICpOlt Su a pluS u
$4,000.
In connection with the roads ques-
ton, David w. Sloan, of Allegany
county, chairman of the associations
legislative committee, called atten-
ton to a pending bill providing for the
return of lateral roads to county su-
pervision.
He suggested the commissioners
urge their legislative delegations to
support passage of the measure.
The commissioners adopted a mo-
ton of A. H. Derr, president of the
Frederick county board of commits
sions, that they investigate a pending
bill providing for a constitutional
amendment to prevent further diver
sion of gasoline taxes
Mr.. Sloan said Garrett county was
opposed to new plan whereby gaso-
line tax funds for road maintenance
would be allocated on a basis other
than road mileage, as at present.
The new plan which he said may be
recommended contemplates a distribu-
ton based per cent oh population, 25
per cent on assessable property and so
per cent on road mileage.

a whitc-hot fire was raging -- Il
fire of anger and jealousy and

And through the mad flames

She had heard the words dis
