Control in Defense

The public has a false impress
sion of the authority OF Mr. Knud-
sen. Mr.. Stettinius, and the other
business men in the office OF pro-
duction management.
II IL now clear they do not even
control their own publicity men
A note has been sent TO editors by
the defense publicity organization
informing them of a new independ-
ent publicity setHp Under the office
of emergency management. In
control of all defense publicity will
be Robert Horton, friend OF the
President5s information adviser,
Lowell Mellett.
This publicity bureau viii assign
staff men to OPM. the priorities
board. and other defense organiza-
tions. But IL now develops that the
old Horton regime in OPM was
never under control of Knudsen or
the OPM. The executive order
made IL responsible for money and
personnel only TO the DEM. which

Mines in Suez Canal

Another German Stuka nest has
been set up on Rhodes and is SOW
ing aerial mines in the narrow
SueZ Canal al night. One British
ship was sunk by this means in
such a way that ii had to be
dynamited out before the channel
could be cleared. Three or -four
British supply ships have hit these
mines. The Suez is open and
functioning with reasonable eff
cheney" but not near 100 per cent.
Best the British can hope TO do
Is TO hang on against a growing
menace TO that single canal bottle
neck which is their Near East life
line.

Ia al the front may have been de-
signed to Offset the private reports
TO officials here that II Duce's
health has faded. He has been
drinking heavily the past few
months. The Germans are policing
Italy from the Bremen Pass TO
Palermo.

Advance Blocked

The British would be in Tripoli
now If IL were not for this REIN
forcement of the defeated Italians
and their own attachments sent
TO Greece. AS IL is. they are likely
to fall back on Bengasi and try
merely to hold their own. This
they should be able to do with
difficult Spring weather coming
up. alternating between torrential
downpours and heat in the desert.
The news dispatches tell of
hordes of British troops pouring
into Salonika. but no one here be-
lieves that dangerous territory of
northeastern Greece can be held.
The Anglo-Greek line of resistance
10 the Germans will have to fall
back TO the mountains OF old
Greece, southwestward. Hopes
that they can even hold this bet
ter defensive line are not high.
Military odds strongly favor
success for a German drive
through Greece 10 the southern
most tip. The British in that case
would have to retreat 10 Crete and
then to the Suez.
