LONDON.-When on that cold dawn
of October % Gen. Metaxas received the
ultimatum of Mussolini requiring free
passage for Italian troops to certain
strategic points in Greece, his immediate
decisive rejection of the demands trans
formed the prospects of Britain in the
Mediterranean area.
Convenient and advantageous harbors
were placed al the disposal of the Royal
Navy. Airdromes nearer the mainland
of the enemy could now be used. The
Hellenic forces drove back the aggresSor.
The zeal with which they achieved VIC
tories spread to Africa and opened the
way for series of triumphs which will
culminate in the downfall of the Italian
Empire.
At the time of his passing we should
remember the high-spirited defiance of
Gen. Metaxas Among the heroes of this
war he will have his luminous place.
The words he used when confronted with
the supreme challenge to his country
are fitting answer to the latest preten-
sions of the Fuehrer.
"I accept" he said.
Hitler's Claims Analyzed.
The year 1s41," says Hitler, will be-
come the historic year of the new order
in Europe = . our belief and confidence
is that we shall achieve victory"
Let us examine the position and pros
poets as he defines them.
In the first place, it is important to
realize that he considers his own posi-
will never starve, rather will the English
people starve."
Looking over the next II months,
there is a foundation, it must be ad-
mitted, for his confidence in his capacity
to maintain his population. Even be-
fore the war Germany was virtually
seh-suficient except in fats. For these
she can now largely rely on Denmark,
the Scandinavian and Baltic countries
and Poland. Moreover, it is believed
process has been discovered which will
make cultivation of the Soybean in Ger
many an economic proposition, and that
considerable areas are being reserved for
this purpose in Austria and the eastern
provinces.
This leguminous plant has been de-
scribed as "unquestionably the most
important food plant in the world" Be-
sides being rich in proteins and carbo-
hydrates, it has a high oil content. 1t
can be used as a substitute for food
stuffs of animal origin. At time when
our own ministry Of food is so ingeniously
seeking alternatives to recognized diets,

of guerrilla band when the British shall
have occupied territories far away from
their bases of operations.
MuSsolini is said to have agreed with
the Fuehrer that the African campaign
is of secondary importance-that the
future of the world will be decided
shortly by Germany's attempt to invade
England, and not on the battlefields OF
Libya and Eritrea. OF course, it is ad-
mitted, if the Italians, had been sue
ceSsful in driving the British out of
Egypt and had occupied the Suez Canal
region, the task of the German armies
battling for the conquest of Britain
would have been much facilitated But
since this operation Topped, there is no
reason to divert German forces to Sec
ondary theaters of operation.
Rumanian House Cleaning.
While the Germans are preparing few
eriShly for the gigantic battle for Britt
ain. they are cleaning house in the oc-
cupied regions. The Iron Guard rebel
lion in Rumania has made things much
easier for the German government in
that Danubian country. Gen. Antonescu
is now much more the obedient tool in
the hands of the so-called German Min
lister than ever before.
In Hungary Admiral Nicolas Horthy
still is nominally the regent of the king
dom. But he spends all his time in the
mountains far away from political tur-
moil The German Minister and the
German general supervising the trans
portation of German troops through
Hungary" are actual rulers of the coun-
try.
A similar supervision-milder and less
overt-is being exercised in Italy, where
German troops are the unobtrusive
guards of all important railway centers
and strategic points. Italian airdromes
in Southern Italy, in Sicily and in Sar-
dinia are all in the hands of German
aviators and ground men. High-ranking
Italian officers are in nominal command
in Catania, Syracuse, Messina, Gagliari
and other fields, but Germans give the
orders.
Petain VS.. Hitler.
The relations between Herr Hitler and
Marshal Petain are strained. For the
time being Hitler is waging war OF
nerves against the aged head Of the
French government. Petain wrote dig
nified letter to Hitler explaining his
reasons for various cabinet shifts. This
letter was written before Christmas, but
has remained, for the time being, un-
answered. Petain's representative in
Paris, M. de Brinon, is not permitted to
leave the former French capital to report
Evening star., 1941-02-02

to his chief. The temporary arrest of
Col. de ia Rogue, former chief of the
French Fascist organization-the Croix
de Feu-who had been summoned to
Vichy to join Petain's staff, was another
indication of Hitler's war of nerves
against unoccupied France.
In order to clear up the situation, the
chief of state has ordered his chief ad-
wiser and principal British batter Ad-
milar Darlan, to go to Paris and find out
what Hitlers terms are for an honest
and sincere co. operation with France.
The price is well known to the marshal.
1t is the naval bases at Bizerta and Oran,
whence italian submarines under Ger
man supervision could operate success
fully against the British navy and mer-
chant fleet. Failing that concession-not
provided for in the terms of the French
German armistice-relations will go from
bad to worse. The Germans are en-
deavoring to convince the French lead
ers-Darlan is reported to be already
convinced-that British defeat is cer-
tainty. If Germany could dispose of the
French African bases, the victory would
be quicker and the results advantageous
for 'all the friends of the Reich" France
would be in that category.
Petain Doubts British Victory.
If the victory were slow, because of
French reluctance to Cooperate" or
even in the event of stalemate which
II, Ioa ir,io cf foi, r.; IL,
best the British can hope for France
might form one of the bargaining points
between the principal actors in the pres
ent European tragedy.
BY these methods Herr Hitler and his
advisers expect to compel the old de-
fender of Verdun to revise his decision
not to allow the French naval bases and
the French fleet to participate in the
present conflict. Germany would like to
have the French join them in the strug-
gle against Britain-Which they realize
will be ferocious and risky-on their own
volition. But, according to the best
available indications, if Petain should
remain adamant the occupation of the
rest of France will be inevitable.
All this diplomatic pressure brought to
bear upon the European countries forms
only secondary phase of the present
German activities. Their principal effort
now is bent on the invasion of Britain.
The German armies in Norway, Holland,
Belgium and France are well protected
against espionage.

Hitler Has Raw Materials.
1t must further be stated that the
corn crop in Germany exceeded eXpec-
tationS, that the potato crop was also
good, and that 1910 was a record year
for the sugar beet When it is taken
into account that Germany has large
armies quartered In occupied territories
and able to derive part of their nour-
iShment from local sources, it would be
imprudent indeed to assume that Ger
many's standard of living has worSened.
The general food situation of the con-
tinent as whole was, before the war.
not disSimilar from that of Germany. but
conditions, particularly in the occupied
territories, have deteriorated owing to
the complete dislocation of economic life
and to the rapaciousness of the ag-
greSSor.
Hitler also boasted in his last speech
thet Germany will never suffer from
lack Of raw materials, for which the
four-year plan has already made provi-
sion." Here again, on the facts. we would
be wise to give him the benefit of the
doubt.
His situation, like our own, must be
computed not only in the resources dis
posed of, but by the extent to which he
is called upon to use them. In the alb
sence of active military operations,
stocks of many weapons will increase
rather than diminish Before the great
conquests Of last spring, the main pros
pective shortages with which Hitler was
faced were iron, ore and oil. He has now
a surfeit of the former owing to his
uninterrupted access to the mines in
Sweden and Lorraine.
Has Rumanian Oil Now.
If he be confronted with large ex-
penditure of oil to intensity his threat
ened aerial offensive, he has at his dis
posal the 100000 tons annually pro-
duced in Rumania and increased output
calculated at 3,50o,OoO tons annually from
coal extraction. A further considerable
addition will accrue to him from the
prohibition of private use of motor cars
in conquered territories.
Again it should be noted, and Britain
might take heed, that in Germany the
number of lorries using gas fuel in
creased from 10000 in September, 1899,
to $4,000 in October, 1910.

There are definite indications in Wash
ington that the zero hour is approaching
in the final and most dramatic clash be-
tween Great Britain and Germany.
Official Washington has been informed
by daily cables from the British govern
nent, and by the reports of American
observers, that Britain urgently needs
guns and mountains of shells for the de-
fense of the islands They are short also
CT aviators and airplanes.
Lord Halifax has been clear ard frank
about the situation. There is no ques-
ton, he is reported to have told Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Secretary of State
Hull, of receiving assistance in war ma
terials in the distant future-say within
the next six months. But Britain, like
France in April and May, 1910, needs
whatever she can obtain in this country
at once. The need for naval units also
has become urgent.
The Germans are pounding heavily at
the British Mediterranean fleet in the
hope that the losses they inflict on Brit
ish men-of-war fighting in that region
will draw part of the British home fleet
to the southern waters. So far they have
been successful in sinking or damaging
more or less seriously nearly a dozen
British WarShips. Some have been hit
only slightly by the German Stukas. But,
regardless of how little these ships were
damaged. the lack of adequate repair ia
cilities makes 1t difficult for them to
continue in service.
Police Duty for Italian Troops.
In the meantime, reports from Berlin
indicate that one of the results of the
Nussolini- Hitler conversations was de-
cision to unity the Italian-German COM
mand Translated into plain English,
this unification under Field Marshal Won
Keitel means that all the Italian forces
soon will be subjected to the German
leadership.
While the future plans of the axis are
uncertain, for the time being, the gen.
eral impression, according to American
observers abroad. is that the Italian
Army will be used almost exclusively to
police occupied Central and Southeastern
European countries. The defeats suf-
fered by the Italian armies in Greece
and in Africa have had a serious roper
cussion among the hunger-suffering Ital-
population. There is some hope of
mending the situation in Greece as soon
as the SHOWS begin to melt, but the sit
uation in Africa is hopeless. According
to these reports, the Germans will not
even attempt to save the remnants of
Grazianis forces. Whatever units the
Italian commander in chief can save
from the debacle will be used as kind

Fighting Fronts

Under momentum of their winning
drive of recent weeks from Egyptian
Libyan frontier, British forces started
early in week to put pressure of siege and
blockade tactics on Derna; on Thursday,
occupation of port was announced by
empire command. Approximately 10000
Italians composed defending garrison,
being credited by attackers with Stub
born resistance for four days.
Almost before Derna had fallen, mo-
torized units of British Army had started
toward Bengasi, ignoring several other
coastal towns as they sliced across the
desert.
Concerned primarily with protection
of Mediterranean-Red Sea route for
shipping from Far East,
African other British drive
Cnmnnion seemed to be developing
on East African front
with successes reported in operations at
Sudan -Eritrean border and at Ethiopian
Kenyan frontier.
Overall strategy of British in Africa
evidently is to crack MuSsolini's colonial
empire, preclude it from furnishing aid
to Italians in form of supplies or raw
materials and to remove it as threat to
empire domination or supply sources on
that continent. Although operations in
this theater of conflict are secondary in

is conceivable that fortunes of bellig-
erentS in Africa may eventually be turn

magnitude in tracing pattern of world

Throughout its history, the Dark
Continent" has been exploited by Eu-
ropean nations with British Empire prob
ably maintaining most advantageous po-
stion. Germany, stripped of its colonies
after previous World War, has been de-
srous of regaining foothold there, already
exercising dominance in what was once
Belgian Congo. French rule, once wide
spread, has been split by breach between
Vicky government and Free French fac
ton led by Gen. De Gaulle.
Latter, controlling CameroonS and
French Equatorial Africa, moved into

War at Sea

On Monday night. Tropical Radio of
Florida reported receipt of messages from
22,000-ton luxury liner Empress of Aus
tralia, now in British war service, that
she had been torpedoed and shelled 200
miles off West African coast; sinking
was indicated.
On Tuesday, however, London an
nounced first that Empress was "safe in
port then hinted that entire story was
fabrication, perhaps of German origin
for purpose of learning location of big
vessel. In any event, British Admiralty
declined for security reasons to identify
port or otherwise locate ship.

destruction have differed widely
