An Expert
.Appraises
The War
BY ]. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

The Russian government,
which has shown a consistently
realistic capacity for judgment
during the present war, allows
Its newspapers to declare that
Germany is getting nowhere in at
lacking Britain from the air.
That frank comment will be UNI
palatable to Hitler. but will be an
additional spur, If any be needed,
to more intensive German activity.
The present problem in Europe
thus Is how Hitler will try to strike
afresh to save his prestige, which
the Russian criticism indicates is
beginning to wane on the CONT
nent. He Has declared total block
AIDE" of Great Britain, but that Is
an empty gesture which Is not get
ting him anywhere. He must en-
gage in some more conspicuous
form of action.
An attempt at invasion seems a
fading Nazi dream unless Hitler
has lost all self-control.
Renewal of the air attacks on
Britain with largely augmented
squadrons may come; but by this
time the German high command
must be aware of the highly
speculative character of an air
blitzkrieg. The halt in intensifi-
cation is significant of the ex-
hausting nature of blitzkriegs
when the defense is as powerful as
British aviators have made it.
Germany's military blitzkrieg
throug Belgium and northern
France had reached temporary ex-
haustion when the Belgian army
surrendered, preventing the Ger
mans from quickly following
through to cut off the British
from the Dunkirk retreat. Similar
ly in the air 1t seems apparent
that continuous blitzkrieging La
impossible.
A second mass air attack on
Britain, therefore, would have to
be limited, as was the first; and
succession of intermissions not
only causes any attacking force
to distrust its competence but
also allows the defense to become
refreshed. Long halts are particu-
larly disconcerting for Germans,
whose military training especially
emphasizes continuous action once
a major offensive begins, until the
objective Is gained.

ton for England. as well as Fire. !"
these high sources explained. The
dispatch of British soldiers to pre-
pare the defense of Ireland. they
said. would have the opposite re-
suit and probably would turn the
Irish openly against Britain.
Have Confidence
Fires island position, a rapidly
expanding armed force determined
to resist any invasion, and a
strong sense of national cohesion,
they claimed, place her in a better
position for defense than neutral
countries on the fringe of Europe,
which went down before Ger
many's blitzkrieg blows.
Because of Fires strategic
position, most Irishmen believe
Hitler would not be content to
leave this nation untouched If he
were victorious. Current rumors
here that a victorious Germany
might try to revive a Celtic union
linking the people of Fire, Scot
land. Wales and Brittany as a
check against any possible revival
of England are regarded as an in

aims.
