 what worries Allied stratogists iS the prospect Of . NaE push against tho British in the Near TSast--sImultaneouS with c drive against South Russia. Ag
 British troops unfortunately have not stood ID well against Von Rommel in Llbya. At one time no was reduced to only 90 tanks, and f Che British were not able to wipe him out then, things don't look too ops timistic for tho future.
 Another black cloud ls the possis blllty of German naval activity in the Mediterranean. D.. 6. gtFategists consider It 6 distinct possibility that the biz Nasl bAts Ileships, some 0e which escaped from Bress thls winter, may make . dash into th0 Mediters ranean. There, uniting with the Italian fleet and part 0F all ef the French fleet, they would stage . terrific bombardment Of Egypt, Syria and Palestine, and 50 blast through the gateways t0 the of fields of Persia aiiG McsOpotamla. This would open Che way Co on advance on Russla from the South.
 This prospective blow ct the Near East Is the biggest worry of oil.
 However, balanced against this, Is Ifitier's own worry over c Erie tIshsU. 6. invasion Of Europe CT North Africa, plus the tremendous supplies we are delivering both Co Russia and Egypt. % tho pie. turo 10 mixed, with only one thing sure: Hitler has got to win this summer or h0 is finished.
