Invasion

IN the face of clamor from the.
people. the British government is
sticking to its conclusion that an in
vas.on of the continent While Hitler
is engaged with the Russians in the
east is impractical and impossible
with the men and equipment IN hand,
If not indeed suicidal. We suspect the
conclusion is justified, for if Hitler
with all his might could not attempt
onolest of the British Isles at a time.
when Britain was not prepared, an
un0repared Britain could hardly be.
expected TO succeed with the same.
plan in reverse against a Germany
that is in position to repeI lnNa-'on
On the other hand, if Britain c.ll-.
not gain a toOthold and advance ON
the continent with It's present re.
serves of manpoWer, when and how
may it be expected ever To accom-
pllsh that feat? Moreover. without
such an offensive, now may Hitler
be ovc.COme2 One can but wonder
if Britain is only waiting for Amer
lean public sentiment to catch up
with the EngIishman's thinking to
the extent of sending Owe another
eXpcditionary force to do the job, or
help them do it.
Lately there have been reports
from Italy that the Italians are fear
full of an attempted British invasion
of their country. The deduction from
that rumor might as we'll be that
such fears are unfounded; hal they
are seeing things; that they have not
reasoned the problem through. A.
invasion hat far from home bases
would be an infinitely greater risk
than across the channel.
Weighing known facts in the
balance, the only logical conclusion
would seem to be that nobody is in
imminent danger of invasion from
anybody. A longtime stalemate or
st~agnation. barren of decisive result
for either side, appears the more
likely eVentuality. Which, stated IN
other terms, is that a long war is in
prospect. Neither Hitler nor the
democracies is likely to be destroyed
or worn into submission by only
bombings from the air.
