ed offensive in Greece. So far, this
offensive has had two results:
Cd 1t has permitted the British
feet and air force to occupy bases
from which far more dangerous and
direct attacks may be directed
against Italy itself, against the
Italian fleet and italian lines OF
communication than were hitherto
possible.
% 1t has brought about the first
defeat by land which has been sus-
tanned by the axis in this war.
British Firmly Entrenched.
The first of these results does not
appear to be susceptible of reversal
by any force now at italian dis
posal. Even if Greece is defeated
and conquered, the Italian Navy
and air force, on the basis Of past
performances, cannot drive the
British from the Greek islands, and
especially from Crete. The lines
of communication of the italian
Army in Libya thus seem likely TO
be permanently impaired, the italian
island bases in the Dodecanese neu-
tralized, and British sea-command
of the eastern Mediterranean and
Aegean Seas confirmed.
The second result may, OF course,
be reversed by an Italian counter
stroke. This possibility rests very
largely on the ability of the Italians
to maintain the communications OF
their army Q) across the strait OF
Otranto, under Anglo-Greek naval
and air attack; 90 through the
omb-shattered ports OF Albania,
likewise under constant air attack;
and Cd along the few and narrow
roads of Albania, harassed not only
from the air, but, it would appear,
by increasing numbers Of Albanian
guerrillas.
They must get this counterstroke
under way before the troops avail
able for it are eaten up piecemeal
in attempting to Withstand the
Greek offensive operations. which
are still being boldly and success
fully conducted, and before the
Greeks have succeeded in occupying
the key points-ports and road
junctions-upon the possession of
which the counteroffensive must de-
pend for its success.
Collapse Possible.
Unless Italy can do this, and GER
tainly there seems no assurance Of
1t, the Italian case becomes so bad
as to suggest the possibility Of COM
plete collapse. Consider the fac
tors now involved in Italy's mill
tary situation:
/. Italy has been at war since
June. Save for the occupation of
British Somaliland, she has no mill
itary successes to her credit.
