out that the two institutions served

Albania. They are still victory
conscious, however, which should
lessen the effect of Metaxas's
death.
The Greeks, with British air aid,
have been attempting for days to
take the Tepelini pivot of the Klisu-
ra gorge bastion as they already
have taken Klisuta. Its loss would
put all Italian forces in south and
south central Albania in serious
jeopardy. The fate of II Duce
might hang more on that than on
what happens to his colonial arm
les in Africa, east or west. Vlgor
of Italian counter attacks indicates
the critical nature of that terrain
for Italy.
Cairo reports indicate that the
British siege of Derna, the third
Fascist strong point in Libya to
be beset, is in full swing. The
fact that British mechanical forces
are stabbing west of Derna means
it is invested and tat the Derna-
Mekili defense line, reaching 40
miles southwark from the coast,
already is penetrated.
It remains to be seen, however,
whether the real force of the Brit
ish continuing onset does not fall
on the Mekili crossroads rather
than on Derna. 1t is the route for
nipping off the whole Fascist force
in eastern Libya and penning it up
on the Barca plateau, impotent to
prevent a British sweep westward
to Tripoli and to the Libyan-
French Tunisian frontier beyond.
Speculation
There has been speculation from
Cairo as to whether the Italian
commander, Marshal Rodolfo Ora
iani, might elect to fall back on
Tripoli himself, and make a final
stand there. 1t would be a serious
additional risk to attempt a desert
retreat of that nature with his
certainly crippled and greatly di-
minished forces.
The remainder of his army might
be decimated in an attempted 600
to 700 mile coastal and desert trek
from the Barca bulge to Tripoli.
1t is 400 miles by sea from Ben
ghasi to Tripoli; but GRAHAM has
no transports to try that or any
naval force to defend them if he
had the troop and supply ships.
Such a retreat also would be g
final Italian confession of irretriev-
able disaster in North Africa. A
stand at Tripoli would leave Italy
only a p%recarious toe-hold on the
vast African domain where she has
planted her major empire.
1t seems far more likely that
Rome has ordered GRAHAM tc
stand on the Barca plateau, hold
ing out hopes of German help eli.
Their by a final Nazi assault on
England or by shifting sufficient
German air power to the Mediter.
ranean to assure Axis air control
Even if Washington reports are
accurate that &c. 900 Nazi planes
will be available for an attempted
spring invasion of England, it does
not follow that the gasoline and
other needed supplies are on hand
or in sight. A two-front mass Nazi
air offensive would only serve to
Increase the supply and transport
tation strain, not reduce it.
Authorized commentators in Lon
don already are suggesting that
increasing dispersion of Nazi
troops and air units in the Balkan
Mediterranean zones is reducing
probabilities of a massed German
attack on England in the spring.
