School Buses
We have made inspection of all

each bus and they had no complaints
to make as regards maintenance and

qualified for their job AS an extra

recommend that fire extinguishers
be installed in each bus.

whether it takes Italy two months
or twelve to accomplish her most

open to dispute. The time element
could make all the difference both
for Greece and for Britain.
British a leadership hopes.
with American industrial help, to
approach air parity with Germany
within six months. There is ample
evidence that the British air
forces are steadily gaining strength
They are already definitely on the
offensive, not the defensive, against
Italy and are striking back at Ger
many. There are many intimations
that the British army in Egypt al
so is preparing to assume the Of
fensive.
Although Mussolini belittled the
raid by British and torpedo planes
on Italian battle craft at laramie,
his own words indicate serious
temporary impairment of Fascist
sea power. His victory address
also contained a virtual admission
of defeatist whispering in Italy.
ITO think or suspect something
otherwise (than Axis victory and
the smashing of Greece> means not
to know me-" II Duce shouted.
Push War
British strategy from the mo-
ment of the Italian attack on
Greece has been to seize every op-
portunity to carry the war to Italy.
1t is based on the assumption that
Italian public morale is the weak
joint in the Axis armor. And the
Mussolini speech only adds to that
impression.
Unquestionably every unit of in
creasing British air power that can
be spared from the home front will
be thrown against Italy. British
fleet and air bases in southern
Greece and Crete have already
changed vital factors in the Med
lterranean war theater in British
favor. They have rendered renewal
OF the Italian drive in Egypt in
creasingly difficult and an Italian
disaster there might be the straw
to break the back of Italian morale.
Mussolini made the best of a bad
job In trying to bolster his home
front and stimulate Italian hatred
of England as the war-maker. AS
he spoke his armies were being
ousted from their meagre foot
holds in Greece. Certainly if it is
to take months to retrieve that re-
verse, the Axis chances of consol-
dating continental victories by
smashing England will be more
remote than they were five months
ago when the Battle of Britain be-
gan.
Actually, II Duce's partner, Hit
Ter, held the stage center for the
Axis even as Mussolini talked. 1t

man-Italian-Spanish politico-mili-
tary conferences at Hitler's noun
tain hide-away in Bavaria, not
Mussolini clustering, that concern
ed Britain and the world. II Duce
was still very obviously a tail to
