THURSDAY, JUNE 20th, 1940 No. 10 THE WAR "The very dark days'" prophesied by Mr. Churchill are with us. As a result of a fatel mistake by her. own high com-, niand and a treacherous and cowardly Belgian king France has for the time being been defeated on her own soil,, We are beginning to realize now why the war must be a long one. But, if we oalmly review"'the situation, as we ought to do, wo shall find no ground or reason to despair of the long future. All that our Air Force needs to control the air^s )machines, and we have the wherewithal with the help of the Americans to make goojd this deficiency behind the Navy, whose suprem- acv<,«in scarcely be destroyed. And it is unthinkable that ' tanks or troops or parachutists in ahy numbers can be in­ sinuated into England. , At this time of writing the peace terms are not known. Indications point to their not being acceptable or impossible of fulfillment. For either the French fleet themselves or the" British Admiralty >vill see to it that the former does not fall into German hands, and, even if it did, .they have not the per­ sonnel to man it. The French air force is flying, to Noi^h Africa, while the large French army in the Near East refuses to surrender. All this spells' only partial victory for Hitler Mussolini is very urioomfortable, and knows that very shortly his,discomfort will be changed into acute pain..Stalin appears to have either decided to grab some more land with­ out fighting for it, or to have become uncomfortable, too, over Hitler's succes^s. He is aware that England and PVande "wiirnever attack him,-but-not so Hitler.- -And nobody knows " better than he that a threatening Russian army on a weaken­ ed Germany's borders now might Conceivably draw off suf­ ficient German forces to turn their French victory into dis­ aster. At~any~rate71lpart7frornTall"c'ô ^̂ ^̂ read the Russian riddle, Stalin is jdem^anding his price for standing by. - • ' • --̂---AndHitler-rrat-last-on-the-sbores-of~the"€hannel,~is-watch-- ing that England whicb grimly awaits bis attack. And, .as ĥ e thinks of their airmen and their all powerful navy andjja,, people who could put to sea en masse to rescue their armyf ' we think even his confidence is beginning to waver.
