African empire. He has not
made the initial mistake of
dividing his strength.
The fate of the African
possessions of the belliger-

for it is in Europe that the
war will be won or lost. and
the terms of the ensuing
peace conference will be

Mussolini's strategy calls
for the complete defeat of
France as its primary OBJ
jective. He should, there
fore, strike with all his
power against the Alpine
defenses, which so power
fully guard the frenc h
frontier.
The problem before him
is difficult and demands,
above all, a quick decision.
Mountain warfare, involv-
ing mechanical troops and
heavy artillery. calls for ex-
ceptional use of petrol I'M
der modern conditions.
Italy's local supply is
limited TO $4,000 tons year
ly from Albania. The war
against the allies will prob
ably call for more than
that amount weekly.

war is prolonged may be-

president in public utteranoe
concerning the head Of a techni-
cally friendly nation.
He spoke In the university's
gymnasium. and departed from
his prepared text again and
again to give emphasis TO
words and phrases. The most
dramatic departure was when
he declared:
"On this 10th day OF June

That statement and others

presented numerous difficult prob

the probability the Mediterranean

the closing of the Mediter-

The trade picture is more serious.

Americas markets for coffee, cot

staple products in Germany. Cen
trail Europe and scandinavian
countries were cut off by the
British naval blockade, and similar
markets in Great Britain and
France were seriously curtailed by
scarcity of ships to carry these
products, considerable quantities
of Latin American products had
been moving in American ships
through the Mediterranean to
Italy. the near east, and the
Balkans. Now it is believed even
this trade virtually must cease.
