Thersail along the shore of West Vancouver and The first year of the war, ends with Germany definitely ,„,oakin« herself to pieces on that.rock. which , is Great Brit- Wliatever else is conjectural or unknown, that at least fo true German tactics so far in this conflict have-been based on nil overwhelming synchronized attack by mechanical forces in the air and on land. In the case of the attack on Britain thin synchronization, on.which all depended, has been sraash- D bv the British Navy's Control of the sea. The German army hfl., been immobilized, leaving up to-her flyers a task which no air arm, however efficient, could accomplish alone., And her Airmen and aeroplanes, as compared with ours have proved to be very far from coriipetent. That Britain has suffered considerable damage is undoubtedly true, but the real damage has been ddne to the German air force, whose morale, must be badly shaken by their staggering losses in personnel. Unless Germany has some new, weapon "the Battle, of Britain," which besran with Dunker^iie and her failure to seize t|ie French fleet, is in all likelihood drawing to a close. Hitler must look elsewhere for victory. / . ^ ■ -i. - / . And he must find it soon. For in Germany itself stones of a defeated England hardly agree with', devastating attacks nightly by England's air force.'Already the crushed popula­ tion of France is beginning to simmer, while some of her colonies are taking heart against the Vichy elderlies. \ And so apparently Hitler is turning his eyes to the Near East and that other heart of our Empire,- India, where we said some time ago the real? battle Would be fought. With this end ih view the'Balkans must first b-e * quieted in order tĥ t the rear of German,.a,nd* Italian forces attacking the Suez Canal, which is the gateway to India,' may be rendered safe. Which brings us once more-to the real enigma,-Russia.--------- However the fate of Rumania should soon supply the key to that puzzle.

But should he acquiesce or'still more take part in the rapFof Rumania; it will prove that Hitler and Stalin are together after all, and an attack will follow by German, Rus­ sian and Italian forces in the Near and Central East which will test our strength to , the uttermost.
