The Nazis could win a minimum

fight little but delaying action, and
British help can arrive only by
narrow seas. In such seas Ger

stymied British sea power. Air
power nay we'll enable the Ger
man army TO win this minimum
objective In Holland, whereupon
German planes and submarines
can intensity the danger 10 al

kaiser took this northern route In
1914. He spared the Dutch, but
completely surprised the weak
Belgian army, b.ew up Its forts

Nails surpass II in equipment and
In fighting experience.
That experience was gained
against underequipped Polan i
and unaware Norway. Now Ger
many strikes the real thing, Her
hope Is not In her army alone but
In the air power that largely won
those trial heats. On both she
bases prodigious gamble.
II she seems to be winning,
she probably counts on Mussolini
joining Ia attacking France. The
bombing Of Lyons and OF Switzer-
land may be preparations or di.
versions. France may be squeezed
In the pincers north and south or
France and Britain may counter
attack through the Balkans, Then,
who knows what Russia will do
and Japan? Armageddon has be-
piin.
