this as well as the British. The
British are trying very hard 10
knock italy out of the war, or, fall
ing this, to compel Hitler to come
to the aid of his ally with something
more than a single GeschWader OF
Stuka dive bombers.
II they can draw Hitler into a
big Mediterranean campaign they
have greatly weakened his power
to strike at Britain, and with Ameri-
can aid rising monthly they may
we'll have won the war. Hitler has
been trying desperately to avoid
large German military commitments
in the Mediterranean area. He has
tried to hold that situation in line
with political pressure, threats,
alarms and excursions, anything ex-
cept the troops and planes he needs
for his coming assault on Great
Britain.
Enough Troops, But Not Planes.
He may have, probably does have,
enough divisions to undertake two
front war on the ground, but the
demands on his air force and on
his munitions industry might go be-
yond the point at which he could
achieve a double victory. One front
would have to be weakened at the
expense of the other. So far Hitler
has concentrated on one thing at
a time in the military field; he
would much prefer to continue do
ing so.
But the stakes are growing larger.
Italy is weakening under the ham,
mer blows of the mastery British
combined operations in Africa and
the Mediterranean. Cyrenaica is
gone; Tripolitania is threatened by
the British on the east, by the free
French on the south: East Africa
is invaded at no less than seven
points and italian empire there
is crumbling into dust. The news
of these events is known or soon
will be known to every native Of the
Dark Continent. The free French
are at GnadameS, on the Tunislan-
Algerian frontier with Libya. Petain
grows more defiant. British guns
lombard Genoa, British planes at
tack Sicily. Soon the British will
have complete freedom of action
to act from African bases against
Italian territory. The Italians in
Albania, heavily reinforced, cannot
get counterattack going.
Not only the command of the
Mediterranean, but the whole of the
African continent is at stake: and
the conference between Franco and
Mussolini, to be followed by one
between Franco and Petain. is
heralded by rumors of Italian desire
for an armistice.
Would a German thrust through
Bulgaria and Greece to the Aegean
provide a counterweight to all this?
Possibly, but it is doubtful. If Ger
many occupied all Greece, the air
force might make things pretty
lively for the British in Crete; the
