German threat TO invade Great

empire.
II has thus become strategic
ally essential for the British
high command to mark off
various areas for retreat In

pectation that the final dlspe-
sition Of these territories win
be determined NJ the peace

hussolini has shrewdly realized
the British difficulty in adequately
protecting the little country. with
its fanaticsl Aoslem population Of
$50 ono. and has taken advantage
of the opening TO score Italy's first
military victory Of the war. The
military worth Of the conquest Is
negligible for further prosecution
Of the war, but IL win help TO
strengthen Italian morale for the
time being.
Since italy can control French
somaliland, which abuts British
Somalilsnd. the Italians now are in
a position to unity their entire East
African empire, including Abys-
sinia, in q single bloc. This terri
tory. however, is isolated from
Italian supply stations. II forms
a corner OF Africa, from the south
ern part of the Red Sea to the Gulf
Of Alden and the Indian ocean.
The co&stllne cannot be used
for supplies because Of the
British fleets command Of the
shore. The Internal land bonn
diaries are blocked by British
keuya and the Sudan. II the
