the Axis would invade the Unitet
States.
In listing his 10 reasons why tn,
British can never defeat the Axis
Mussolini said that Italy now hat
100000 men under arms, wa
growing stronger, and could throw
an army of 1000, 900 men into thu
field this year if necessary. double
the number now under arms.
II Duce's 10 reasons were:
I-Germany's war potential
has increased to gigantic pro-
portions. Absolutely insignifi-
cant losses have been more than
compensated by immense guam
titles of booty.
2-German ornaments are
qualitatively and quantitatively
infinitely superior to those at the
outbreak of the war. Germany
and Italy have not yet called all
tteir manpower into play.
:B-The Axis powers are now
the arbiters of all Europe, with
Japan as their ally an with the
fundamental interests and coun-
sci of Soviet Russia, which will
continue her policy of Germany's
good neighbor." With the .ex-
ception of Portugal. Switzerland
and, for a short time longer,
Greece. all of Europe is against
Britain.
1.-The British blockade Is a
dulled weapon. and Britain her.
self will be blockaded by the
AXIS powers from now until the
day of her catastrophe.
:. 5@The morale OF The AXIS
peoples is su0erior to that of the
British. 1t is ridiculous to specu-
lete on the possibility of the
Italian people yielding To speak
of a separate Italian peace is to
indicate mental deficiency.
8-Britain is desperately in
voking the aid of the United
States. The American industrial
potential is formidable. but aid
r Britain cannot arrive in time
10 match Germany. which has
all Of Europe working for her.
1.-THE war will end with the
fall of England. even if the
British empire tries to continue,
unless-and il is prebable-cer-
tain parts of the British empire
now in fernent succeed in
achieving independence.
8-Italys war potential. like
wise. is daily improving as to
quality and quantity. The two
or three warships damaged al
laramie are nearly repaired.
n-To defeat the Axis. Britain
will have to land on TIE Euro
pean continent, invade Germany
and Italy and defeat their armies.
IO-No Englishman can even
dream of accomplishing this
task.

Squadron Leader Cross is a
doctor!
Not standard-brand. iodine
and-aspirin doctor content with
smearing inflamed tonsils with
silver nitrate or cooling, Say
Ahhhhhh!" He is a 32-year-old
surgeon with fighting face, a
soft voice and a sympathetic eye
who saw more Of wars stark
ferocity and of n1an-made suffer-
ing than any physician in Canada.
SAVE, NOT DESTROY
For Doctor Gross was one of six
Raj medical officers TO serve
through that mad miasma behind
the Maginot Line, never out OF
gun-shot from the day that war
was declared until the final inferno
at Dunkirk. So this. as Doctor
SQUADRON Leader Cross tells il. is
no yarn Of hair-breadth heroism,
escape from the skies or bomb
raids. It's about one mans war
of-mercy, on willful mutilation OF
innocent people and an attempt
to salvage human life. :,
Doctor Cross is career medical
officer in his seventh year Of Raj
service and now posted in a
'c,ishy'' Job with the Kingston
commonwealth Air plan) unit.
So. when war was declared he was
a cure all attached to the Raj
No. / fighter squadron which
moved up behind the Maginot
Line at Melville, setting up his
bottles, powders and shining in
str,iments and settling down to
the placide routine Of the "phoney

tice of a country sawbones-lanc-

not goldbraids. II was hohum.
country club kind of war in those

ARMY OF REFUGEES
But not for long! The blitz came
last May and with it the swift
Nazf Panzer columns thanking the
French lines, the locust swarms OF
Stuka bombers, the mobile units
that struck like lightning.
In the previous war ground had
been gained by bloody inches; now
II was won by bloodier miles. And
always before the Nazi Attilas
fled a pitable army of refugees
women. children and old folk. For
all French males Of able age were
under arms.
SIMILAR TO DELIRIUM
Like something a narcotic
addict sees In q deiirium," re-
lates Doctor Cross, "the refugees
came across fields and fences or
rushed down the roads like fran
tic sheep until they fell ex-
hausted. They threw away their
bundles and went aimlessly on,
