Real Blitzkrieg Upon

ened invasion attempt stu hidden by
the German maneuvers, the British
fighting services were described as
confident that they could turn back
the Nazis ana FascistS.
Obviously. dispatches from an en-
battled British capital could not be
expected to reflect official or mill
tary opinion as other than conf
dent, but at the same time the Ger
man delay appeared to have permit
ted time for fighting spirit, anger
and determination to mount as well
as provide the time for defensive
preparations.
Whether such developments will
result in any change in Hitler's
plans can be only matter Of pure
speculation. The Nazi fuehrer pre-
Sumably must move soon or face the
prospect of delay that would force
the war into another winter, unless
he chose to attempt to shut the Brit
ish off from Europe and strike in
some other direction such as
Gibraltar norder to attain spec
tacular but not decisive triumph.
If such course were followed by
the Germans, Hitler presumably
would resort to siege and possibly
some new offer of a dictated peace
in his campaign to eliminate Brit
ain as major power in Europe.
In the Far East, the Japanese
premier designate, Prince Fumimaro
Koyoye drew nearer to the Axis
powers by selection of Yosuke Mat
suoka as his foreign minister and
consideration of Gen. Eiki TOTO as
war minister. The new cabinet APP
peared likely to be one that would
work in closest cooperation with the
army and navy plans for expansion
in the Far East and the South Seas.
