BRITISH BATTLE ON AT THERMOPYLAE

(Continued from Page One)

African forces had broken through the forward defenses of Italians who have been fighting stubbornly before the Ethi-|

®pian town of Dessie and that the Fascists were falling back, pursued by British and native troops. On the sea and air front, the British reported that one Of the two Nazi battle cruisers, Scharnhorst and Gneisenau, had been hit during steady R. A. F. raids on Brest, and that probably both had been heavily damaged. The Admiralty said the British submarine Urge had torpedoed and sunk an oil tanker of more than 10,000 tons. The R. A.

What is more, Count von Schulenburg, the German Ambassador to the Soviet Union and a known advocate of Russo-German co-opera-tion who left Moscow for consultations a fortnight ago has not yet been able to see Hitler. The Ambassador is reported to be cooling his heels somewhere in southern Germany. : 4 =o “MORE IMPORTANT is the case of Gen. Johann Laidoner, former commander-in-chief of Estonia.

fly organizing a Baltic Corps to which volunteers wishing to fight Russia are fleeing from the So-viet-held Baltic republics.” Hitler's reasoning, “Foreign Cor-

respondence” goes on to say, is quite simple. According to its information, he figures that as soon as Nazi occupation of the Balkans is complete and remaining European neutrals are eliminated, he wili only need Russia's grain and oil to make him impregnable. With them in his control, he would be in a position to convince Britain of the uselessness of continuing the war.

All this, it must be repeated, is based on many “ifs.” First, Hitler must finish off the Balkans, invade Egypt, occupy the Middle Bast, close the strait of Gibraltar, bottle up the British fleet in the Mediaterranean and forestall disturbances or revolution in Spain, Portugal, France, Italy, the Balkans and other European areas. Until he has done these things, competent observers here do not believe he will try to invade either Britain or Russia. He would be taking too many chances.
