immediate solution. There is an
increasing probability that we are
faced with long war of attrition,
OF jockeying for position, of political
and economic encounters in which
the position of the small neutrals
will become progressively less en-
viable.
The Initiative for the moment is
with the Germans. If, as is stated
from Paris, the allies mean to wrest
it from them, the first evidences of
this change will doubtless be in
creased allied activity in the neutral
states and especially in the Balkans.
The great German decision is attack
or sit tight; or perhaps attack or
induce the allies to attack by making
them think Germany intends to sit
tight. The great allied decision,
which they almost had to face in
the north, which they will certainly
have to face If they begin politico-
economic offensive in the Balkans as
possible preliminary to a military
offensive, will be: Shall we make
an open enemy of Russia? This is
decision which may have far
reaching results, results stretching
clear across Asia, results affecting
Persia, India, China and Japan.
Meanwhile the hard facts of DO
litical geography have left the allies
but two possible theaters of direct
action-the western front and the
Balkans. The one for the present is
risky and questionable, the other

modification Of the present German
political leadership,

modification Of the present German
political leadership.
The great question, therefore, is
the effectiveness of the allied block
ade, and that effectiveness is, as
tonishingly, being called into ques-
ton by the allies themselves as the
Supreme War Council proposes
measures for Tightening it. If such
measures are now necessary, what
has been going on ali fall and win
ter? Is it possible that the late Sen-
ator Borah was right when he spoke
of "phony" war?
These are the queries that in
evitably arise in neutral minds. They
may in part be answered by the
change of government in France,
possibly to be followde by political
changes in Great Britain. Moreover
1t is quite possible that the blockade
is really more effective than one
would imagine from available evil
dence and that the Germans are now
trying to bluff the allies into a costly
and perhaps unsuccessful offensive of
their own while the Germans still
have measure of ground and air
superiority to deal with it, capitaliz-
ing for this purpose on the impa-
tience with the slow progress OF
the war which is evidencing itself in
France and Great Britain.
If the Germans must fight for
virtnrU fhov vooinof anvociloy. hot
under present conditions they would
have better chance in the western
theater if they could first blunt the
edge of the allied sword by inducing
the allies into premature offensive.
There is, however, no certainty
that this view is the correct one.
The allies, if they mean to prose-
cute this war to a finish, will be the
better off under any circumstances
which will enable them to have q
reasonably open battlefield on which
to fight an army not yet ready for
maneuver warfare against an equal
foe, whatever it may have done
against the Poles. They are in the
peculiar position of being denied
such a battlefield by the lack of
direct contact with the Germans,
save on the heavily fortified western
front or by means of the air-an
element in which Germany is still
numerically superior. They may yet
seek to create such a battlefield in
the Balkans-an ulcer, if no more
which, as did the Spanish campaign
to Napoleon, may drain the life from
the Nazi empire.
But the allied situation for the
present is not pleasant one, nor
one to which there is apparent an
Evening star., 1940-03-31

making common cause with the
allies at the last moment, as well as
by diplomatic labors in all the cap
itals concerned.
They remain today in the position
of victors who have won all they
set out to win by the sword, and
who are, therefore, for the moment,
chiefly concerned with the efforts of
their enemies to deprive them of
their spoils. If these efforts offer
little or no promise of success, there
is no reason why the Germans
should risk their present victory by
the unforseeable chances and perils
of great offensive in the west.
Allies Depend on Blockade.
Now the allies have, almost alto
gether, relied on the blockade-on
economic warfare-to compel the
Germans to disgorge their booty.
In the military sense, assuming
German resolution not to yield with
out a struggle, the blockade If ef-
fective would compel the Germans
to attack by some of the means
open to them: A great land attack
in the west, supported from the air,
or an all-out air attack, with SUBJ
marine and naval support, on the
sea communications of the British
Isles.
The first would probably fail with
bloody losses-since even though
modern Notifications can be
preached or outf1anked, there re-
mains the French Army to deal
with, and the Germans are not yet
ready with their hastily expanded
forces to meet the French on the
open battlefield. which would be
the sole result of either preaching
or outf1anking the Maginot Line.
The second move would hardly be
attempted with anything less than
the full strength of German air
force-it would be direct bid for
victory in which, as Douhet puts it,
ANY reserve held out would be an
advantage gratuitously offered to
the enemy"-and if IL failed Ger
many would be in sore military
straits. 1t probably has a better
chance of success than a land at
tack, but it has no assurance of
victory, either, the air defenses of
Great Britain being what they are
today. Certainly the Germans could
have no worthwhile reason to un-
dertake, in the absence of any
reasonable certainty of success,
either of these operations unless
compelled either to take the chance
or surrender their present gains-a
surrender which would very likely
entail the downfall or profound
Evening star., 1940-03-31

requires much preparation of the
ground-in every sense-before it
becomes favorable. Meanwhile a
war of attrition, at sea, in the air,
along the western front in small
way, may compel the Germans to
use up their war reserves, may
gradually, slowly, at a price, drain
from them the life-blood of a great
offensive, may drive them in turn to
premature decision. These are the
Evening star., 1940-03-31

possibilities. OF the future there is
no certainty. But If the announced
aggressive attitude of the allies is
really to be translated into fact,
there does not open up before it any
prospect of immediate or over
whelming victory. That victory in
the end the allies probably may
have, but they must prepare to pay
its price.
