voy of 1925, 900 tons which was de-
stroyed yesterday.
Bigger Events"
'Those gentlemen (the British,
however, must be prepared for
still bigger events in March and
April. Then they will out
whether we slept through the Win
ter or who made use of time.
"In these long months, during
which We fought with so few SUBJ
marines, Italy tied up large forces
for us. 'f
'It does not make any difference
to us whether our Stukas pick off
English ships in the North Sea
or the Mediterranean. 1t is al
ways the same.
lone thing is certain, however:
Wherever British ships cruise we
shall set against them u SUBJ
marines until the hour of de-
cision." l
The occasion for the address
was the 21st anniversary of the
founding of the Nazi party.
Hitler omitted mention Of the
long heralded invasion Of England
and did not reiterate the forecast
of victory in 1941 which marked
his last previous speech, Jan. 30
at the Berlin Sportspalast.
He explained today he would not
set definite dates for major op-
erations. Date setting is the bust
ness of journalists" he said. But
he ended his hour and a half ad-
dress on this note:
II look to the future with fanati-
cal confidence"
His voice rang and he was in
fine fettle. The cheers of his uni
formed followers interrupted his
delivery time and again.
Hitler roared defiance at Eng
land and renewed his often re-
peated pledge of closest coopera-
ton with Italy.
Speaking of the Axis bonds be-
tween Naziism and Fascism and
between himself and Premier Mus
solini, Hitler said: There is no
doubt but that the union which
binds two revolutions and two men
together is indissoluble and that if
one of the two meets hard luck the
other will stand by him."
The address, delivered to all Ger
many and much of the world by
radio, followed by one day II
Duce's account of Italian reverses
in Africa and his announcement
that German air and armored
forces had come to Italy's aid.

CT planes, tanks and munitions have been going to Russia as fas ag ships can take them there. The BFitish also have felt obliged 10 scatter .. $, arms throughout the world along their long defense lines. American deliveries have not been so large aS supposed until Q few months ago.
 Making Mistake
 I met some officers who believed the British are making Q big mis. take in scattering their strength m this way. They pointed out that American tanks = which are hkely to prove Q sensation when they go into action-have been delivered 70 Egypt, India, Singapore and Austra" lia, If all been concentrated m Egypt, the British might now be driving the Germans out Of Libya, these officers claim.
 But production and distribution Of war materiel Is not the only British headache. Equally important are shlppIng difficulties. Losses in the battle of the Atlantic have been dropping but the transport Of war supplies to far flung points imposes new strains on shipping resources. It takes 27 ships of 5000 tons each to carry one British division. Two divisions require more than double that figure because of additional corps artillery.
 TO move 10 British divisions - . very small force-to the continent would take l,50O. 900 tons of shipping -an amount not readily available. Losses might amount to l,O0O,OOO tons, not counting those in the war ship escort. It is doubtful whether the admiralty would be willing to pay that price.
 There is also a psychological rea- son against a British invasion at this time. British ears are still ring ing with wisecracks about "the best retreating army in the world" Brit ish officers are determined not to provide any more fuel for this kind of joke.
 ThoJe are the reasons against a British invasion of the continent now. Many of them apply against sending an army to Russia. But there are others. One is that Britain is laready holding thousands of mile of front from Egypt through Iran to the Far East and cannot af- ford to spread out any thinner. An. other is the lack of good supply routes for a British army In the Caucasus.
 Group Urges Risks ! There's one group in Britain, how ever, led by one of the governments most brilliant advisers which re- jects all these arguments. This group urges risks. in sending an expedt- tionary forces to the continent or Caucasus. It argues the war can be lost or fought to stalemate on several fronts but can be won only on the Russian front. It holds that Britain should be prepared to sac- rifice Egypt and Africa-if neces- sary-because they can be regained whereas if Russia collapses. nothing can ever rebuild that front.
 One of these advisers told me:
 "If Russia should so, Germany can stlll be prevented from winning But this is the only front where Germany can be defeated. The only other way to beat Germany would be to throw 6.0O0OOO American troops into Europe. But we canncl count on the United States fighting this battle. In any case how long will it be before America has 6,000.' OOO troops and how long before thu ships are built to supply such CT army"
