HERE'S MORE ABOU T
Strength Of Italy
STARTS ON PAGE ONE

the Littorio and the Vittorio
Veneto, which mount nine 15-inch
guns-and four old but modenized
battleships. There are Fl cruisers,
with IA or Is building; 40 SUBJ
marines, with % or more building,
100 destroyers and gunboats, and
100 or more speedy motor mos
quito boats.
The air force has a total strength
of 5000 to 5000 planes, of which
$500 to $500 are first line ships.
There are about 10000 trained
pilots. The Italian replacement
rate is about 300 planes a month,
which might be expanded.
The Italian troops on the
northern frontier could be
employed in direct attack on
France, with assistance Of the
Italian air force. Some italian
commentators have claimed
the German air force would
assist such an attempt. There
are admitted difficulties to
such an attack, however, be-
cause the passes are narrow
and easily defendable on the
French side.
It has frequently been suggested
that one immediate Italian move
would be an attempt to cut the
Mediterranean in two between
Sicily and Sardinia and North
Africa. This might be accomplish
ed by an attack on the French
naval base at Bizerta, opposite
Sicily. with the aid of land forces
from Tripoli.
The French island Of Corsica,
lust north of Sardinia, would be
open to Italian attack from the
latter island and has had promi-
nent part in recent italian propa-
ganda demands. Moves against
both Turkey and Greece are possi-
BILE from the strategically located
Dodecanese islands. which lie in a
thanking position along the Turkish
coast and close to many islands OF
the Greek archipelago.
Albania could be employed for
a thrust at Yugoslavia or to strike
down into Greece toward Salonika.
The Italian East African
possessions are centrally To-
Gated for operations against
the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan,
north and west Of Ethiopia;
Keuya. south of Ethiopia and
west Of Italian East Africa:
French Djibuti and British
Somaliland, which are virtual
" surrounded by italian pos
sessions.
Forces in Libya could be used
to attack Egypt and attempt to
drive through to the Suez canal.
Probably one of the first points
to be attacked would be Malta,
the British rock fortress, which
lies Just off the Sicilian coast.
