Rear Admiral, u. 3. Navy

WARRINGTON, June 10 (INS)
Launching Of the long-awaited
invasion Of western Europe and
renewal OF Russia'x offensive in the
east, browning the Allied victories
in italy, point up possibilities for
future co-ordinsted operations in
the Mediterranean theater as the
great struggle nears It's grand
climax.
Because Of the lack Of sufficient
land forces, until recently, the
Allies have not been able to eH-
plot fully their overwhelming
naval superiority in these waters.
NAILS FACE PROBLEM
Now, however. the aspect Is
changed. and the German COM
mand in the south is faced with a
problem similar to that existing
across the English Channel. where
the Allies were able TO strike
when and where they chose.
Not only are the French Med
iterranean and Yugoslav Dalma-
tian coasts extremely vulnerable
to Allied invasion, but by losing
the battle of central Italy the
Germans have opened 10 seaborne
attack points in northern Italy
that lead straight TO the southern
gateway Of der fuehrers "Fes-
tung Europa"
ALLIES MENACE BALKANS
An Allied landing in northern
Italy, for instance, would menace
the Maxi grip on both southern
France and the northwest Balkan
area, while landing in southern
France would outfiank the Ger
man positions In northern Italy.
The German position in Italy is
now 90 grave that Field Marshal
kesselring cannot 1t abilize il
without requirements to some OF
his battered divisions.
: But the Mari commander dare
not ask for endorsements from
Germany Until certain when and
where the next Anglo-American
blows will fall.
BITTER DILEMMA
The alternative Is a general
withdrawal In Italy, yet this vast
conquered area cannot be aban-
doned without losing face both at
home and with the Balkan satel-
iites, and perhaps ending In
general collapse.
With overwhelming sea power,
and with superior air power. the
establishment of a subsidiary front |
along the Gulf of Genoa or the
Gulf Of Lyon not only could At
into the Allied invasion picture,
but such seaborne occupation
could be accomplished in less time |
than that required by a continued
land advance up the Italian penin-
sula.
An Anglo-American invasion of
the Balkan peninsula by way of
the Dslmatian coast also is logi-
cal. because Of the excellent air
support that can be given and the
advance bases already occupied
on some OF the coastal islands.
