The installation was designed to
manufacture the new type of
safety glass which uses a plastic
sheet known as vinyl resin for the

Vinyl plastic is much more elastic
than the former type OF safety

glass that withstands blows with
more than three times the safety
factor of the old type, according
TO Ford engineers.
Because Vinyl must be handled
under controlled atmospheric con-
ditions, the installation is as elab-

atmosphere, a series of interlock-
ing chambers was built. each air

100000 In Caucasus.
Unless the army of Marshal
Budyenny is more mangled than
we hear, there is little prospect
of the Germans reaching the
Caucasus and the Caspian Sea in
time to come to the rescue of the
Iranians. All reliable reports We
receive from Russia indicate,
however. that Budyenny contin-
ues his retreat in perfect order.
An army estimated at 100000
men is still in the Caucasus and
has not joined the present battle.
1t has fewer tanks and airplanes
than the other three Russian
armies, but it has large bodies of
cavalry. These are useful in the
war with Iran.
Budyenny is fighting now
mostly strong rear-guard actions
and has excellent positions pre-
pared east of RoStov on the Don.
Even if all of the Ukraine fell
into the hands of the Germans,
the success of Hitler will be only
relative. He will find there mines
containing iron ore and silver, but
he will be just as far away from
the main need of the Axis-oil-
as he has ever been. And oil is
what the Germans need desper-
ately at present. The supplies
are running short. According
to the best available information,
the Reich possesses at the pres

the fight over them easily may
hinge the final result of the war
One of these nations is Ireland; the
other is Egypt. The first is officially
neutral; the second is the passive
ally" of the British but not actively
in the war-nor apt to be. Among
the military strategists in Wash
ington there is conviction that
Hitler plans, following the Russian
campaign, to seize Ireland that If
he succeeds the British will be in
dire straits.
Of that there is hardly any doubt
and concern exists over the Irish
situation. Nevertheless, that in
Egypt may become equally critical.
If the British should be driven out
of that country their status would
be pretty desperate. The more vital
of their so-called life lines would be
severed and, without Mediterranean
naval and Egyptian air bases, they
would be unable to protect their
possessions, operate their feet or
save their soldiers. They would be
driven back into their own island,
there to make the last stand.
Egypt's Role Important.
A grasp Of these facts makes the
role of Egypt, now a democratic
country, appear much more impor-
tant than has been generally appre-
ciated. 1t is encouraging to report
that. from the British standpoint,
conditions there are better today
than they have been at any time
since the war began. In the first
place, it is contended, Egypt is
rendering a greater service as a
passive ally than she could as an
active one She is living fully up
to her treaty obligations toward the
British. Considering the sentiment
of her people, any course other
than the one she had adopted would
have been unwise and the results
bad. AS things are, the Egyptian
Army relieves the British of heavy
burden in Egypt by taking on itself
the garrisoning and defense of the
military zones of the country, with
out inviting Italian and German
bombing of the interior by active
participation.
In the second place, the Hitler
effort to capitalize his position as
the worlds greatest Jew batter, by
stirring up Islamic opposition
against England, has failed. What
he is still trying to do is to turn
to his advantage the enmity be-
tween Zionism and the Arabs, which

The Great Game of Politics
Ireland and Egypt Destined for
important Roles in HitIer's War

revolves around British policy in
Palestine. His hope is that success
in this attempt will facilitate his
conquest of the Iraq oil fields. Egypt
is the greatest Moslem power in the
world and there is great hostility
among the Moslem people toward
the English attempt to convert the
Holy Land into a national home for
Jews.
The Mohammedans deeply resent
this effort. This is their Holy Land,
as we'll as that of the Jews and
Christians, and they are, it has been
said, prepared to die before sur
rendering to Zionism. The Nazi
propaganda has been directed to-
ward inflaming religious hatred and
promoting the belief that should
England, with American aid. win the
war, the weight of the United States
would be, used irresistibly to press
the British into reviving and reA
vitalizing the Palestine plan. The
idea is fostered that a. British vic
tory means that millions and mil
lions of Jews from Europe would be
brought into Egypt and ultimately
take possession.
Moslem Feelings Soothed.
To nullify this propaganda, the
British in 1889 declared that they
had no intention of converting Pal
estine into a Jewish state against
the will of the Arab population. To
some extent this declaration allayed
Moslem resentment but some still
exists. Egyptians are anti-Fascists
and anti-Nazi but they are torn
emotionally when they hear an
American administration Senator
say that Palestine must be con-
verted into a Jewish national home
as "a vital part of the, just world
order when the present conflict is
over" That sort of senatorial out
burst infames anti-British and
anti-American feeling in a friendly
nation. 1t plays directly into Hit
lers hands, whose game is to array
the Moslem world against the Brit.
ish.
Deeply as they feel on this sub
ject, Egyptian statesmen recognize
the sinister motive back of the Ger
man propaganda and the danger to
themselves of yielding to it. Those
best informed on Egyptian affairs
give large credit for its successful
refutation to the young King Fa-
rouk, who is greatly loved by the
Egyptian people and whose attitude
has done much to ameliorate the
natural anti-British feeling which
springs from the long struggle to
throw off the British yoke and
achieve independence
1t is the King more than any one
else who has insisted upon his coun-
try measuring fully up to the treaty
requirements by which the British
are given practically unlimited eel
bow room" in Egypt for their mill
tary and air forces, without which
they could not survive for a minute
in the Mediterranean. Summing up
the situation, those who know it
best say that while Egypt is not
actually in the battle line, she is
more effective than if she were.
There is no doubt of the strong
anti-Nazi feeling of the people-and
none that when the big test comes,
as it surely will, they will stand
steady.

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad, Aug.

The S,379-ton Winnipeg was inter-

German intervention in the
Middle East to support the in
vaded Iranian kingdom is con-
sidered unlikely in most mill
tary quarters.
Today the position of Iran is
similar to that of Iraq a few
months ago when a section Of
the country fell under the Axis
spell and rebelled against Brit
ain. Although the Iraqi fought
bravely for several days and were
assisted by German technical
advisors, they had to capitulate
in the end because the Reich
could not intervene with its
fighting forces.
Iran has a larger army than
Iraq. 1t also has a number of
planes and small tanks. The
natural positions are favorable.
But the few German pilots who
are reported to be instructing the

taken active service cannot OPP

In this way has a great industry
been put on its feet, capable in an
other year or two of producing more
aircraft than any combination of
countries in the whole world. 'Edu-
cational orders" for new types OF
planes would have been very help
full in 1888 and 1889 if Uncle Sam
had provided them for the industry,
but the administration did not per-
suade Congress to appropriate the
funds. Hence the record must show
that the British and French in 1899
and the British alone in 1910 sup

perhaps as much as $500,000, 900 to

the same) and then wisecracks
through the horror of the blitz.
The behavior of everybody in
the islands, even though they
have been in a hell on earth, Is
above praise.
But the supers are boys and
girls who are earning their living
by their brains. Why?
Well, first of all they are ac-
customed to concentrated intel
lectual effort, and the emergency
calls it forth.
Second, they are persons ac-
customed to objective thinking,
and apparently that has some
effect on character. Their minds
look out rather than in.
Third, they have had an edu-
cation that has induced certain
standards of behavior.
Good Health a Factor.
Fourth, and despite a tendency
to dyspepsia and taut nerves. they
apparently have good health, for
statistics show they live long.
Fifth, they belong to occupa-
tions in which the individual has
to think for himself.
Sixth, they have an intellec-
tual curiosity which makes even
the most terrible experience in
terestlng. They are the only
persons who get a sort of grim,
intellectual or artistic pleasure
out of the weird phenomenon.
While the house rocks under
them, they note the beauty of the
thin fingers of the searchlights
reaching across the dark skies for
Nazi bombers. They learn quick
ly to differentiate sounds, gauge
the distance and type of explo-
sions. They estimate their
chances mathematically.
A famous woman writer told
me she had resigned herself
calmly to the air raids when
she realized that the mortality
in the blitzes was lower than
British mortality in childbirth.
And after all, have had three
children" she said.
Seek Something to Do.
At any rate, when others run
to shelters the intellectuals are
likely to go out and look around
to see what they can do Sitting
In the fire stations they learnedly
discuss physical explanations Of
blasts and the chemistry con-
tanned in various kinds of high
explosives, the psychological
treatment of shock, the relative
residence of bricks laid with one
mortar and bricks with another
mortar, the genius of Sir Chris
topher Wren, the quantum theory
and the various moves in chess.
Being accustomed to take notice
of things, they even make notes
on their own misery and so some
how find everything interesting.
Those who have deSpised the
absent-minded professor are
likely to find him the one person
in the community with all his
wits about him.
The stock of the intellectual,
therefore, is going up in Eng
land, and this perhaps augurs a
happier, more intelligent time
to come.

lion become clear. The British
forces are strongly imbedded in
a huge territory extending from
the Eastern Mediterranean TO
the borders of India with a pow
erful steel curtain in Egypt pro-
tecting this principal base. In
this area are the only available
gas supplies for the Nazis. They
will have to conquer the whole
of the Near and Middle East if
they want to fight successfully
long war. And to conquer that
region will mean harder
struggle than they have ever
fought in the past.
WavelI Armies Strong.
The Wavell armies are strong.
Their lines of supplies are sat-
isfactory. Although the Suez
Canal may be closed by bombings
from the Luftwaffe in Greece,
the Indian Ocean and the Per-
sian Gulf remain open. Roads
are lacking in that section of
the world but the Wavel armies
can be provided with fighting
materiel with greater ease than
the Germans if they chose to
make the Middle East their fall
battlefield.
And everything indicates that
Hitler must fight the British in
that section of the world. He
must make a desperate attempt
to take the oil wells of Iraq and
Iran in the course of this winter.
For the first time since the war
started-two years ago-the Al
lies have the initiative and they
mean to keep it. Only a COM
plete and at present unlikely
detection of the U. S. S. r.
