fit to send them by no less hand
than that of the Kings brother, the
Duke of Gloucester, his chief liaison
ofncer.
At the moment the bulk of the
British expeditionary force appears
to be fighting fiercely and on the
whole not unsuccessfully, in the
Mons -Valenciennes area. Here they
are holding one shoulder of the Ger
man salient, preventing it from ex-
pandnig, from widening, keeping the
Germans from using vital rail and
road lines by which they might
pour in the masses of infantry and
artillery which would consolidate
their threatening position. viii
those British soldiers stay there?
Will British government, faced
with the peril of invasion, dare to
keep them there? BY all military
calculations they ought to stay. This
is not time for faint heart. or
kualms about home defense. II Brit
ain is to be saved she must be saved
in France, by the holding, at the
very least, of the bridgehead of
which Sir John wrote. She might
be better saved by the breaking
down, by stout resistance, by ulti-
mate counterattack, of the great
German drive which has imperiled
her, and which cannot, despite all
the terror Of its raiding and air
planes, yet have established itself
in force much west of the line

Morale of French.
That important decisions are be-
ing taken in Great Britain seems
unquestionable. Few who are ac-
quainted with the characters of the
Prime Minister, of Gen. Ironside, OF
Viscount Gort, will doubt that the
decision will be to go on fighting
in France, to keep up the struggle
until 1t is decided one way or
another on the battlefield; always

speaks to the senate of fists re-
served for traitors, saboteurs and
towards. The Germans have their
Trojan horses In France a. wen as
elsewhere. The great names Of
WeygAnd and Petatl may sufiice to
turn the tide. Or they may not.
Their tools may turn In their hands.
It Is necessary to face these un-
pleasant facts, while weighing as
carefully as possible the more purely
military characteristics Of the stu
alton.
In the last analysts, II the Ger
mans make good their grip on
Amiens and Abbeville and drive the
British and Belgians up against the
Channel ports, 1t is Britain which
has been defeated more than 1t is
France. On the line Of the Somme
and the Aisne, or even farther back,
the French armies might yet stand
to cover Paris and the heart OF the
country. Barring . stab in the back
from Italy, they might make 1t cost
the Germans dearly ere they were
overcome; too dear to be worth the
effort and the risk. But the Ger
mans on the Channel, plus the Ger
mans in Norway, means the blockade
Of London ana all the east coast of
England and Scotland by German
submarines and aircraft; It means
the impelling Of all cross Channel
communication, shifting all contact
between Britain and France to the
Atlantic ports Of the latter country:
1t throws upon the western ports Of
Britain the whole task Of handling
and distributing the food and the
raw materials which Britain must
have If she Is to continue to fight:
and In the midst of this confusion
privation and disorganization. it ex-
poses the whole country perhaps to
invasion. certainly to relentless air
attack, the defense against which

Important Combination.
The defense Of the channel ports
Is therefore to Great Britain q con-
sideration Of the first Importance.
It Is just now 4 question Of how
they may best be defended; Of
whether an attempt should be made
to reinforce the British Army In
France; Of whether the Germans
can be prevented from inflltratipg
along che coast behind the fighting
armies, from one north or from the
south Gas they are probably trying
to do at this moment). II they do,
can the B. E. r. be reinforced at
all? Can 1t be Withdrawn, II worse
comes to worst, under the hail of
German bombs and the pressure OF
German armored troops? II 1t is
withdrawn, can 1t do anything to
save Britain from invasion, or
should 1t be landed again at some
other point In France and take up
the struggle anew7 These are grave
and terrible decisions to have to
take. It is well they are in the
hands Of men who. whatever betide,
will not yield easily to panic.

migration law-backed by President
Qnezon-fxing the annual quota
from each country, including Japan
and Oh. ma, at 1000.
Several assembiymen said they
would fight for an even sharper
limitation, 500 from each country.
The measure has not been intro
duced officially, but copies have been
supplied to committeeman. Com
monwealth officials have observed
strictest secrecy concerning the bill,
reported drafted by American i'm
migration experts.
If it is passed it still must be ap-
proved by the President of the

would reduce japanese infiltration
by more than half and Chinese by
about 80 per cent.
