BRITISH MAY LAUNCH OFFENSIVE IN L|BYA
Europe Unlikely Unless Bombnes Break Germans Morale

from a constant aerial offensive against
Europe?
These things, in the order Of their
probability, are the most likely:
l. A full dress offensive in Northern
Africa to clean up the Southern Mediter-
ranean shores and provide the push
which is needed to get Italy all the way
out of the war.
2. Movement of considerable British
armored force from Persia into the
Caucasus to defend that vital Russian
region and to keep open the all-year
southern supply route to the Red armies.
The first action might well be accom-
panied by haraSsment of Southern Italy
by parachutists, naval bombardment, air
attack and possibly even small British
landing parties. The groundwork for
the African drive itself is now being laid
by sofening actions conducted by both
sea and air. The British imperial armies
will have to move westward again from
the Egyptian frontier, although this time
they will have valuable flank protection
from the staunch garrison of long
besieged Tobruk.
The British have hesitated between
this action and the entrance of an ex-
peditionary force into Russia from
Persia. On the surface the Caucasus
expedition would appear to offer the
Russians more direct help. but it is en-
tirely possible that a successful drive
into Libya would, in the long run, be
more beneficial for the British Russian
cause.
Couldn't Garry Out Both.
1t is safe bet that the British haven't
enough tanks and armored cars to carry
out both operations successfully-and
Stain has told the British: This is a
tank war"
Now for the long-rangs view Of inva-
sion:
The idea is gaining ground, IN Britain
and in America, that the best part Of the
job of beating Hitler can be done with
long range bombers. thousands Of them,
and with the aid of millions of Euro
peans now missing many meals because
of the phony benevolence Of Hitler's new
order. Every day, these conquered people
grow bolder.
Once the morale Of Germany's great
cities is broken by concentrated night
and day bombardment and once the
spirit of defeat enters the weary ranks
of the German Army, It Is figured that
the invasion forces can move in with
a good deal less equipment than they
would ordinarily have to take.
The British are told privately but re-
peatedly not to talk about it, but almost
all of them figure that American troops
will be in this eventual invasion army.
Some of them even fear it, because they
feel that this will surely make America
the dominant partner in the peace.
It is only fair to say. however, that
Britain is not at present worrying about
another A. E. F. The day when it may
be needed Is too remote.
What England wants from America
today is bombers and more bombers and
tanks and more tanks.

Tuesday he relayed scanty flash just de-

flying American flag and travelling light
while on trading voyage between Spain
and African Gold Coast, had been sunk
by submarine torpedo last Sunday night.
. Hardly had this word been relayed to
news wires when second announcement
came out of maritime quarters in New
York that American-owned freighter
Bold Venture, under Panama registry,
had been sunk in North Atlantic on
October 16.
Eventually. all 80 of Lehigh officers
and crew were reported rescued, but
there were 18 members of Bold Venture
crew reported missing.
On strength of these incidents, both
President Roosevelt and Secretary Of
State Hull accorded new support to pro-
posals for overhauling neutrality statute.

AS this ever-increasing tempo is un-
folded an o. P. M. spokesman warned
that diversion of all essential materials
to defense purposes threatens forced
closing of more than 10000 non-adapt-
able small business enterprises in this
country.
And on the financial front, Treasury
figures showed last week that actual cash
payments for defense purposes passed
the $4,000, 900 900 mark 1872 months
after they began. The second 10 bill

peatedly through the White House and
the State Department that we intend to
see that war materials reach victims OF
aggression regardless of the cost. Con-
sequently, whatever the turn of military
events in European Russia may be, this
administration intends to continue to
send arms to fighting Russia via the
Pacific.
Whether the war material is kept in
Siberia for the immediate needs OF the
army there or whether it goes on to the
Urals Is of no particular concern to the
administration. But there are indica-
tions that if Japan opposes the trans
portation of war material to Asiatic
Russia by proclaiming a blockade of
Siberian waters the United States would
not recognize the action. 1t would be
necessary. of course, to revise the Neu-
trality Act once more.
The sentiment in Congress regarding
Japan-even among the starchest iso-
lationists-is such that there is expected
to be no difficulty in amending that
section of the act which bans American
ships from entering a war zone.
British People Gloomy.
There is another reason why we would
be ready to accept the Japanese chal-
lenge-a course of action which is almost
certain to involve us in a shooting war
in the Pacific.
The British people, despite statements
to the contrary, are downcast over the
plight of Russia. They had pinned great
hopes on Russia's ability to stem the
Nazi tide and expected the Germans to
be hammering away at Leningrad and
Moscow all during this winter. In the
spring, they believed, the suitation would
be materially changed as far as Britain's
own military position was concerned,
