Iw au se ovPTi in a savage sta te man on .occasion m ust be able to rely J he ffiven word of h is neighbor in order to survive. And, whpii that neighbor m akes a practice.of continually breaking word, he is mobbed to death by his fellow s as a menace to\hem all. Such will one day be th e fa te o0 H itler and the whole German nation. , , Already the m ills o f God,have,begun tp grind. A fter years ■of successful treaty bi^aking. .directed to ,o n e great object, mimelv the destruction of the B ritish Empire, the German dfcTator has lost by that very treaty breaking the French f l^ t , which was the only possible means He had of accomplishing his fell design. For th a t he was relyingjon it to invade Eng- aiid there can be no shadow of doubt. ̂It is Very well to talk of amphibious tanks towed by submarines and flat -bottomed scows carrying tanks on their decks to be hauled a t .th ir ty miles (?) per hour across the Channel. .These th ings are only thp dreams of the mechanizled mind gone mad with hate. Then fortunately for us; the B ritish N avy iS'^till v e ^ much on the sea and the British Arm y on the beaches. -They are both waiting. Moreover, "ah air force (^n invade* the; air, but it cannot invade the land, and, unless the German airmen are . more successful than has hitherto been the case in their en counters with the Royal A ir Force, the tim e may not be very far distant w|ien they .may not be able to ^ even that. ' There may be an attem pted invasion of England, but ex cept'by'such unthinkable treachery as was present in Norway i£oan only be a failure, if not a m ajor German disaster. And that is one thing H itler dare not risk, for which reason he is more likely to turn his attention to 'Gibraltar or th e N ea rE a st or both in spite of the very ddub^fiil,assistance o f Mussolini.

All th is, ' ' however hinges, as events haVe -so often hinged before, on the stand to-be taken by Stalin.
