 The Axis attack upon the Itaian-built fortress of Tobruk, manned by British forces, is an ad- mission that this threat to the flank of the German Italian spearhead aimed at the Suez Canal must be dealt with before it would be wise for the Axis forces to proceed into Egypt.
 In the British counteroffensive of last winter Tobrlk was of several Italian strongholds which the empire forces bypassed in their pursuit of the main Italian forces. General Wavell followed Ger tactics in this regard. After having chased the main Italian forces far back beyond the coastal strongholds, the British able to mop them up with relative The Italian garrisons with out prospect of reinforcement by land, and hence not difficult to capture when squeezed in be- tween the British Mediterranean fleet and empire land forces.
 However, the British retreat more strateg- cally executed when the combined German Italian drive across Libya materialized this spring. The empire forces undertook to fight only delaying action No considerable body of troops equipment left to be trapped in the Central Lbyan coastal area, at Benghazi. Only well-fortified Tobruk, comfortably close to the British Egyptian outposts, was substantial holding force left But this obvi- ousy done intentionally
 The retention of Tobruk by the British undoubt- edly has had much to do with the apparent staling of the Axis drive although it would be unwise to predict that German strategy may not eventuate in a movement from southern dodging the men, ace on the flank at Tobruk. But Tobruk which can be supplied ana provisioned by and, therefore, is capable of holding out almost indefinitely pro- vides the British with excellent base for forays against Axis supply nes-particularly since desert fighting is largely matter of forays anyhow. aster if Axis reverses should compel retreat from the Egyptian invasion before. The activity around Tobruk indicates that the strategiss of both sides have that in mind.

that plane manufacturers delivered 972 completed units during February to the Army, Navy Great Britain, other Governments and commercial arlines. This compares with figure of 1036 planes put out for January and 799 planes for December.
 But how is the public to interpret these figures to make comparisons? How many of the planes delivered in February for commercial airnes? Should not this figure be stated separately from that of military planes? If the figures given out for January and December also included commercial transport deliveries, the fact not previously made clear. We have been told that 60 percent of the December and January figures represented train ing and the rest combat planes. Apparently this ratio still obtains but it has not been made clear whether it does or not.
 It might be revealing too much information to the Germans to break down the monthly arpane production figures into the exact number of medium and heavy bombers fighters and on. But at least the production of training and combat planes could be presented as separate figures When five six training planes be built for the cost of pursuit plane and 20 for the cost of one heavy bomber, it is close to meaningless to lump all these types in the same total
