the Indian Ocean, but the main quanti-
ties still arrive from Canada and the
United States by way of the Atlantic.
The British Army in Egypt is known to
lack tanks. Recent conversations be-
tween Ottawa and Washington concern
ing the sale of outmoded, slow, light
tanks to Canada is viewed with suspicion
that such a transaction would liberate
at least 200 Canadian tanks for service
in the Near East, while obsolete Amer
lean tanks would serve for training pur-
poses in the Canadian Army. Despite all
efforts of Italian submarines, destroyers
and the air force to prevent conveyed
transports from reaching Alexandria or
Port Said, the British Navy in the Med
iterranean is still the dominating force
in keeping the sealanes open.
If Gibraltar is taken, all supplies for
the army in Egypt will have to be re-
routed via the Indian Ocean, and tanks
which Italians suspect have already been
sent from Canada will have difficulties
In reaching Egypt. Altogether. Musso-
lini Is reported far from happy over what
is now termed the premature offensive
of Marshal GRAHAM. The British forces
are composed Of British regulars, Aus
tralians and New Zealanders to q total
OF some $4,000 fighting men, to which
must be added approximately 5000
French foreign legionnaires. The serv-
ices of supply are assured by the Egyp-
tan Army, making this British Army ex-
clusively fighting force. The men are
excellently trained metropolitan troops.
all professional soldiers, and experienced
desert-fighting Australians, who, raw
when they arrived in Syria and Palestine
last November, have now undergone in
tensive training and are now the equal
in quality Of any fighting force in the
world. The Italians are numerically
superior to the British by less than two
to one-a proportion wholly insufficient
when The British are on the defensive
behind well-eonstructed trenches and
strong natural defenses.
If Britain could be brought to her
knees IN short time, the task of Marshal
GRAHAM would be comparatively easy.
But SO long as England still resists and
the Germans conflne their military &C
tivides to air and artillery onensives,
GRAHAM will find it difncult task to
break the resistance of the Britishers in
Egypt. The attack on Gibraltar is there
fore considered by the German Italian
