powerful natural and man-made
defenses. The troops are excel
lent in quality and likely to fight
as long as they are ordered to do
so.
But their principal trouble,
which leads to the optimistic
forecast that about the middle
Of May Tunisia will be cleared of
the enemy, is the question of fuel
for tanks and planes. Desperate
efforts of the Nazi high command
to rush fresh fuel supplies across
the sea have been frustrated.
Many of the heavy transport
planes which have been downed
by the Allied airplanes contained
gasoline and 1t is questionable if
more than 20 per cent of the
shipments by air reached the
Axis supply bases.
Same Difficulty at Sea.
The same difficult is being en-
countered in regard to supplying
by sea. The Allied planes and
naval vessels have done an excel
lent job, and they have been
favored by good weather condi-
tions. Few Of the transports
which put out of Italy have man
aged to get into Bizerte.
These conditions soon will COM
pei the forces of Marshal Rom
mel to refrain from using their
tanks. But when their supplies
give out the Axis forces will be
compelled to resist-as best they
can behind their Notifications
with forces supported only very
feebly by planes and mechanized
units.
After this occurs - and this
doubtless will be in the near fu-
ture-the Allies will have a much
easier task.
