Forecasts German Attempt
At Invasion of Britain.

At Invasion OF Britain.
To the Editor Of The Star:
The supreme emprise Of German arms
in the months Immediately ahead must
be calculated and purposed to eliminate
England from the war - the prime
possibility Of averting . moral defeat
within the Reich and military catastro-
phes across the continent tn this de-
cisive year Of the conflict.
Inexorable exigencies compel the az
gressor nation to project An invasion
of the British Isles Is the only action
that could bar the Anglo-American
forces from Western Europe, and each
days delay varies the relative dynamism
of the combatants to the disadvantage
of a wearying and desperate Germany.
A descent against Britain would require
the EXTREMIST violence Of Germany and
would constitute a challenge to duel
intenser than the fierce Russian cam
paign.
The most reasonable alternative would
be campaign for the conquest OF india
which would begin with precipitation IN
tended to subjugate the regions, includ-
ing Turkey, from the Caspian Sea to
suez, and possibly conceived IN the oele1
that were Germany at the portals OF
the East, England. to rescue her realms
from dissolution, would recognize the
Reich's claim to a continental suzeralny
and guarantee on-interference with
Germany's future ra-European MILL
tary adventures in the creation oy SELL
ure of an equal empire.
With Russia invincible, and with
Americas might rising to flood tide, the
German apostles of force cannot be
deemed to imagine that any extremity
less than enslavemep: could induce
Englishmen to a reconciliation with the
piratical Reich. For this reason. the
predatory strategists, with the factors
in the computation the simplest, must
resign the future control and mooe OF
war to the United Nations or make q
thrust of unrestrained brutality at Eng
land. and so postpone a renewal or
the abandonment Of the Baltic-to-AzoV
battle in Russia, being content to oe1end
the occupied regions excepting the road
to Astrakhan and Asia.
The full force of Germanys persuasion
Is engaged to secure the naval and MILL
tarv collaboration of the French gov
ernment, which, since the Illustration OF
the Reich's design in Russia. and the
advent of America In the war. seems
to be less confident Of England's defeat.
The most irrational Germanophiles now
could recommend armed assistance to
the invader only II they deemed French
Intervention would guarantee the I'M
mediate abdication Of Britain and the
end OF the war. So unreasonable
hypothesis Is not adequate to induce
them to adopt . measure opposed by
the nation and would incite the people
to revolt, and that would deprive France
of her possessions. The titles to these
are in suspense as . result Of the capitu-
lation to Germany and will be renewed
or obnterated. when Germany sur
renders, by the United Nations.
