ment to demoraliZe the native popu-

lister Churchill had this in mind
when he said that if the enemy
bombed Cairo and Athens, the
British would bomb Rome. Once
Germany won Egypt and control of
the Eastern Mediterranean, italian
shipping could bring Germany rice,
cotton, cotton cake and cottonseed
oil from Egypt, and these, too, are
vital needs for her.
Hitler'S covetous eyes might look
toward the Belgian Congo, which
has not only copper but is the near
est source of rubber to a Germany
famished for rubber. But the slim
and primitive means of transport
which are available in equatorial
jungle may be cut by the British If
they ever have TO retreat down the

Suppose Hitler should not only
get the Eastern but the Western
Mediterranean With all the great
sea his, the way open to him to
North Africa, either by Gen. Wey-
gand's consent or the defeat of his

amount of food from Algeria. but
the hungry Spaniards would expect
him to turn this over to them.

bit of British material brought back

NEW YORK, April 23.-Col Theo-
dore Roosevelt, jr., SO, yesterday was
ordered to return to the command
of the 26th Infantry, 1st Division,
U. S. A, which made history at st.
Mihiel and the Meuse-Argonne. The
26th is stationed at Fort Devens,
Mass.
In the World War Col. Roosevelt,
son of the late President, won many

the Distinguished Service Cross, Dis
tinguished Service Medal, Legion of
Honor and Croix de Guerre with

folly for Britain to have sent an ex-
pedition to Greece, especially when
the force was so much smaller than
originally reported and inevitably
due to sacrifice against gigantic
odds. She would keep faith with
her Greek allies, prove to the Turks
that her promises were more than
lip service. She anticipated that
Yugoslavia would be more able to
grapple successfully with the mon
ster and cripple him before he
struck the Anglo Greek armies.
This chapter of the war concluded,
what actually have the British lost
and the Germans gained. and what
further gains are in prospect for
the Germans.
Blow to Prestige.
Undoubtedly British prestige suf-
fered a heavy blow, which will re-
vertebrate across Asia to Toxic. But
the amount of British war material
captured is far from equal to that
lost in Belgium. This cou. IS that
British trucks. tanks and gu4Ns are
abandoned, as it is unlikely that
they can be put aboard ship for lack
of pier space in the heavily bombed
harbor of Piraeus. If need be, the
soldiers themselves can wade out to
small boats off any available points
of the shore and thus reach the
gangways of transports.
Hitler's latest conquest will do
| little to satisfy the German hunger
for more food, copper, oil and rubber.
Serbia exports food stuffs, and the
well-fed Serbian peasants will have
to part with their wheat, sheep and
cattle to replenish German larders
Yugoslavia's output of 1900 tons
of copper a month has long been
earmarked for Germany.
Greece produces an all but negligi-
BILE amount of bauxite, which is a
base for aluminium, of chrome, iron
/ ore, emery and magnesite. The ma
terial captured from the Greek army
will be of small value, even as scrap
to replace the enormous expenditure
| of material in the German drive
Greece does not grow enough food
for home consumption.
German air bases are brought
nearer to Turkey as threat for her
to yield the little copper she pro-
duces, some food stuffs, and possibly
some driblets of real coffee from
Arabia in place of ersatz for a fav-
ored few German cups.
Oil Beyond Turkey.
Beyond Turkey are the oil fields
of Iraq and Iran, British owned
or largely under British control
Already the British have closed the
pipeline exit in French Syria. That
to Haifa is enough for the Mediter-
ranean needs. British troops are in
Iraq occupying the pipeline exit TO
the Persian Gulf and the adjacent
oil refinery.
In case of necessity, Britain can
wreck many of the oil wells and
smash the pipelines. When Ger
! many has made repairs, she must
also control the sea exit of the pipe
lines or else depend on poor facilities
for long, arduous transit overland.
