DIVIDE AND CONQUER IS cLoBAL WAR TECHNIQUE BUT BOTH SIDES CAN PLAY THE BLOCKADE GAME

\A/HEN caught in the middle in war
 fine it is a mailer of opinion whether you are surrounded or whether you have divided your enemies.
 The Axis countries are caught in fhe middle of this war. just as they were in inc last.
 Their view of the matter is that they have divided their enemies and forced them to use roundabout lines of com. municafion. Ever since inc war began they have been busy cutting and slashins at those lines, forcing the Allies 10 make ever longer and more difficult journeys to keep in touch with one another. EngIand's lifeline" to the Far East through the Mediterranean was an early casualty. ..
 The Allied viewpoint is of course that inc Axis is surrounded. The Allies chief interest in life is 10 keep fhe Axis sur rounded effectively.
 And meantime fhe dwelIers of occu- pied Europe have turned the tables on the Ay;5. with varying results. Striking from within, they. loo. slashed al com munication lines, trying to spread de- morelization. The Axis. sIashing out at ring of foes. found foes within their lines sashing at them.
