This Changing World
Situation in Egypt Is Considered Desperate,
Collapse Of Neor Eostern Front Seen os Possible

ish and imperial forces from the
Near East to bolster the defenses
Of the Suez Canal Is dangerous,
both from the military and po-
Itical points Of view.
The Nazis are believed to have
superiority In both planes and
mechanized forces, and compe-
tent obseryers point out that 1t
will be difhcult for the British
to stem the Nazi offensive now
that they are inferior in troops
and equipment.
To make matters worse 1t Is
reported that the Axis has COM
plete control of the Mediterra-
mean. and 1t is questionable how
long the British will be able to
continue sending transports to
Alexandra, Suez and Port Said.
Large concentrations Of Axis
planes have been sighted in
Sicily and Crete and while the
reports of tens Of thousands of
parachutists ready to take of
for an invasion Of Egypt are
greatly exaggerated. it is true
that unusual activity is taking
place on both those strategic
islands.
One Good Front" Urged.
The presence Of large number
Of torpedo boats and submarines
in the Eastern Mediterranean
has rendered the activities of the
British Navy difficult. Losses
sustained in the last few months
are large and unless desperate
necessity requires it, British men,
of-war will be compelled to re-
main inactive until the final bat
tie for Near Eastern oil takes
more definite form.
This gloomy picture of the sit
uation in that theater of opera
tions has impelled the trainers
Of United Nations strategy to
reconsider plans which had been
under consideration in recent
weeks. No definite change of
strategy is believed to have been
decided yet, but President Roose-
welt and Prime Minister Churchill
are awaiting further develop
ments.
Miracles still happen OCCASION
ally on battlefields, but the worst
Is expected. If the British are
compelled to give up the Medi-
terranean and the Near East. the
strategy OF the United Nations
must be changed and forces re-
grouped for new military objec-
tives decided on.
Even optimistic diplomats and
politicians realize today that in
the light of what has happened
in the last eight days, it is haz-
ardous to talk about two, three
or four. fronts where American
soldiers are going to fight. The
advice of some military men, who
have been preaching the gospel
Of one good front where we can
win victories, may now prevail.

Church and Home
BY REV. M. MIKKELSEN

When you wake up in the morning
you expect at least to find that the
color of your skin is the same as
when you went to bed the previous
evening.
"By ten-forty-five it was all over.
The town was occupied, the defenders
defeated, and the war finished" Thus
writes John Steinbeck in his recent
novel "The Moon Is Down." The
surprise could not have been greater
had the townspeople on that beautiful
Sunday morning come out to discover
that their respected mayor had
changed from white to black during
the night.
The invaders with their concept of
life, and lovers of authority as they
are, can hardly interpret the resist
ance of conquered nation brought
up in freedom as anything but stub
bornness. "The two conceptions of
life," says Dorothy Garfield, run on
two tracks, to the end of time, they
will never touch each other at any
point"
About the Viking spirit persisting
in Norway the Christian Century has
the following comments to offer:
"The stories that continue to come
out of Norway, telling of unshaken
resistance to the program of nazifica-
ton, take on more and more the
quality of old Morse sagas of forti-
tude and heroism. But they are not
mere legends. They are true. Or
perhaps one might say that the spirit
of the Hebrew prophets lives again
in the clergy, the teachers and, what
is even more significant, the people
of Norway. Bishop Berggrav stands
before Quisling like Nathan before
David and says to him, Thou art the
man. Unfortunately, Quisling has
not the dignity or decency of even
a SHINING David. He bellows back:
You triple traitor. You deserve to
have your head chopped off, We'll,
here I am replies the bishop. To
that there seems no safe answer,
especially when the primate who
resigned rather than take orders
from Berlin through Quisling, and
all the other bishops who resigned in
sympathy with him, and all the pas
tors who have resigned in sympathy
with them, and all the teachers (more
than ninety per cent of the whole
number) who have given up their
posts rather than become the instru-
ments of nazi education, when all
these are supported by the masses of
the people whenever opportunity is
afforded for peaceful but pro-
nounced demonstration of their senti-
mentS.
Cutting off heads is not a policy
to be lightly embarked upon where
almost all the necks in the nation
are offered to the ak. In support of
the action of the Lutheran clergy in
resisting the policies for which Quis-
ling is the puppet administrator
practically all other religious groups
in the country, both Catholic and
Protestant, have issued statements.
AS demonstration of non-violent re-
sistance that is far from passive, moth
ing quite equal to this has been seen
in recent years. 1t is not war, but
it is magnificent"
