worldwide traffic with never less
than 1000 ships on the sea or less
than 400 in the danger zone on any
day.
Yet losses we inflicted in the
month of May were in the nature
| of three-fourthS of the losses they
inflicted on us.
This also has a bearing on the
! possibility of a sea a-borne invasion
| because destruction of the enemy
tonnage is proceeding at a most
rapid and satisfactory rate.
Have Ground for Confidence
In Middle East.
Nor need solid grounds for conf
dence and thankfulness fall from
us when we look at the aspect Of
the war in the Middle East. We
have been at war for 81 months.
Almost a year has passed since
France deserted us and Italy came
in against us.
If anybody had said in June last
year that We should today hold
every yard of the territories for
which Great Britain is responsible
! in the Middle East, that we should
have conquered the whole Italian
Empire, that Egypt, Palestine and
1raq would have been successfully
/ defended-any one who said that
would have been thought foolish
visionary. Yet that is is position at
! the moment.
1t is more than three months ago
since the Germans gave out that
they would be in Suez in month
and were telling SpanlardS when
Suez fell they would have to come
into the war.
| Two months ago We were told we
would be driven out of Tobhuk or
forced TO Capltulate and We were
also warned OF a German thrust
| at ASSiut, at the head of the Delta.
! Six weeks ago, Iraq was ablaze.
Habbaniyah was declared to be
! in direct jeopardy. An insurgent
/ government r uled in Bagdad in
closest association with Germans
and japanese. Our forces were
/ pinned at Barsa while Sirkuh and
| Mosul were in eneml 5nds.
All Has Been Regal,
And Advance Started
All has now been regained and VIC
are advancing in Syria in force.
Our front at Mersa Matruh, in the
western desert, is unbroken and Our
defensive lines there are stronger
| than ever.
The large forces occupied in con-
! of Ethiopia are now set free and
many of them are on their way to,
or have already, reached the Delta
of the Nile.
1t would be most unfair and
wrong, in the middle of operations
which so far have been crowned
with remarkable success. to select
the loss of Crete as preteXt for
branding with failure or taunt the
great campaign for defense of the
Middle East which has so far pros.
pered beyond all expectation and is
now entering upon an even more
intense and critical stage.
give no guarantee. make no
promise or prediction for the future.
but if the next six months, during
which we must expect ever harder
fighting and many disappointments,
should find us in no worse position
than that in which we stand today
and if, after having fought so long
alone against Germany and Italy
and all the intrigues and treacheries
of Vichy, we should still be found
in six months time to be faithful
and unbeaten guardians of the Nile
Valley and of regions which lie
about it-then I say that famous
chapter will have been written in
the martial history of Britain and
the British Commonwealth of Ma
tions.
Evening star., 1941-06-10

hand to-mouth strategy, we must
regain initiative and impart to all
our operations the sense of mas
terry and design which the Germans
so often display.
No one agrees with all that more
than I, but it is good deal easier
said than done-especially while the
enemy possesses vastly superior re-
sources and many important strate-
gic advantages.
For these reasons I have never
encouraged any hopes of short
or easy war.
Nonetheless, it would be mistake
to go to the other extreme and to
belittle the remarkable achieve
ments of our country and its armed
forces.
Denies Production Of
Factories Is Falling.
There are many things for which
we can be thankful The air at
tack on this island has not de-
veloped. 1t has not overwhelmed
us. Indeed we have risen through
and from it strengthened and glorl-
fed
There is no truth in the state
ment that productivity in our fac
tories is falling at an alarming rate
1t may not be going as fast as we
should like, but if any one can dc
anything to make it go faster he
will be rendering sreat service.
In guns and heavy tanks, the
monthly average for the first
quarter of 1941 was so per cent
greater than in the first quarter Of
1910.
The output for the month of Nay
four week month, was the highest
yet reached and more than double
the monthly rate for last quarter in
1910.
