Big-Sca|e Naval

LONDON, Nov. l. (UP) - the
authoritative press associations ma
val correspondent limited today at
an imminent, big-scale British ma

The moment appears to be ap-

powerful moves against Italian

sent phase of activity to large
scale offensive" the correspondent
said.
The British press association often
is regarded as speaking for official

II should have a Spe-

Following the debate it was an
nOunced that although the mega
t1ve won the team consisting of
Herr COhn and Weinreb announced
that they really were in favor Of
such an arrangement. What we
would like to know is what hap
pens to a small section of our re-

Jews are simply a religious set
and not q nation or a people? /.
IF the council is not to represent
religious factions then what hap
pens to this group? And if
they are not represented (and they
should not be as they are only
called Jews in religious matters)
then the council certainly isn't
representative of the entire Jew
ish community. :. Sounds like a
lot of mish-mash. and that is
exactly what we get when that
group which disavOwS being part
of Jewish nation and contributes
nothing to the betterment of the

The feature of the debate, how

ibellous attack on an innocent
member in the audience. Rather
than disturb the assembly, the in
dividual who was viciously and
enormously accused waited until
the meeting had adjourned and
quietly approached the thought

apology or proof. The proof"
was the word Of a man who de-
clared that the accused had writ
ten a certain letter soliciting bus
mess in a non-kosher manner. :.
When the trouble-maker backed
down after the accused had Of
fered a thousand dollars to see
this alleged letter, supposedly
written two or three years ago,
the offending debater apologized
for having brought the matter up.
In the course of the debate an
other more thoughtful speaker re-
primanded the non-thinker for not
having intelligence enough to in

knioht of the Bath

Davy, aged twelve, a resident Of
New Yorks lower East Side, was des-
perate. All day long-and possibly
for countless other days-he had
struggled gamely against oppression,
and now his moment was at hand.
He poised on the fire escape and
pondered. Before him and below
him lay thirty feet Of empty air,
with death at the bottom. Behind
him, his tortured ears could hear the
steady, remorSeleSs sound Of running
water. Which should he do-jump to
his doom or take that bath his
mother was running for him? Faced
with this bitter choice he remained
loyal to his species and shouted,
IF mamma insists on the bath-I
jump!"
The street below became packed
with awed spectators. Policemen
hurried up and roped it off. An
alarm was turned in. Squad cars
came tearing up, sirens Screeching.
Pandemonium reigned. Becoming
confused, Davy weakened, climbed
back in and took the plunge. The
public will be delighted to know that
according to the latest bulletin he
survived the ordeal, although still
suffering from shock and far too
clean for comfort.

To the Editor OF The Star:
Everybody talks about the many fla
grant violations of traffic regulations.
Many careless and irresponsible drivers
constantly disregard recognized safety
precautions when no officers are present
and become bolder after each offense
passes without censure.
Please suggest why some or all Of the
civic organizations seeking commendable
duties for their members do not under
take cooperation with. the District ad-
ministration in effecting regulations
whereby prosecution of any violations
observed by their members may be ex-
pedited without the usual unnecessary
waste of time in Traffic Court.
In minor violations when an observing
member considered the offense unworthy
of court action the driver could be
warned by card that record was kept
of his license number and any subsequent
offense would result in prosecution on
both counts. Police whistles might be
authorized for accredited members will
ing to attempt arrest of hit-and-run
drivers In serious damage cases.

The Desert War

The British retreat from Somali-
land marks the end of the first phase
of the war in Africa, a strange con-
flict which has been relegated to the
background by the far more spectac-
ular and more important fight to
defend the island heart of the en-
pire.
But there has been some bitter
fighting in the desert wastelands, al
though relatively few troops were in
volved. The attacking Italian forces
were faced with severe natural obsta-
cles, and their final success indicates
a well planned and we'll executed
campaign. An evidence of their re-
sourcefulness is the fact that they
managed to bring tanks into the
action, weapons which far outclassed
the British mechanical camel corps,
although the latter proved effective
in raiding Italian columns and dis
appearing into the brush before
counterattacks could be organized.
Conquest of Somaliland may be
expected to enhance Italian prestige
in Africa, but it does not appear that
any great strategic advantage has
been gained. With the capture Of
Berbera it becomes easier for the
Italians to transport supplies to
Jibuti, possibly along coastal roads,
but these roads, if they should be
constructed, and Berbera itself, will
remain exposed to bombardment
from British naval vessels, which
can be based on Alden, across the
narrow gulf from Berbera.
The really important battle in
Africa will come if the Italians at
tempt to drive through Egypt to the
Suez Canal. From Britain's stand
point, the defense Of Egypt and Pal
estine is infinitely more important
than the fate of the Somaliland and
it is here that the real stand will be
made. Without supporting naval
forces the Italians can do little to
disrupt the British war effort by the
capture of Berbera and the sur
rounding territory. But if Egypt
should fall and control of the canal
be taken over by II Duce, the Italian
Navy easily could reach the Indian
Ocean, and that would be a major
calamity for Britain.
