Why he has hesi- tated to do so keeps the world guessing. Some of the reasons are discussed in today's Washington Merry-Go-Round column appearing elsewhere in The Empire, ‘The compelling reason, of course, is that Hitler | wants to be sure of success before undertaking any aggression, We know now that his agents and Nazi- inclined native traitors paved the road for him in western Europe. The first stage of his war, the so- called “war of nerves,” had been so thorough that the final stage, the blitzkrieg, casy.

For yeais German propaganda set factions against each other in France. The social fabric of the nation was badly torn. This is not the case in Eng- land. With Labor, Liberal and Conservative leaders joining hands in the Churchill Cabinet for national defense, all political and social differences which | might be bases of dispute in normal times have been England really has profited from the | terrible lesson of continental countries. And Britain does not scare easily. The tech- nique of the war of nerves, the uses of propaganda | to the effect that “the Germans are invincible” and | all the rest of the slogdhs so effective in disrupting civilian morale in Europe, are thoroughly understood. This national solidarity, coupled with the tech-| nical problems confronting an invader and the poli- tical unrest in eastern Europe, have caused the war| |lord of the Third Reich to hesitate. This does not mean that he will abandon his project of crushing‘ | the British Empire, He will go ahead with it and | perhaps soon, now that he realizes he cannot count |on the attack from within Hitler will find Britain a hard nut to crack. Every day he delays permits the British to prepare tter. He will not repeat over London and Man- | chester the cold-blooded experiment in mass murder which his bombers performed over Rotterdam on May 14. All British cities are well defended. Englishmen intend to remain free. | put aside | The Fighting in Africa (New York Times) | Six months ago, when Finns and Russians fought in the Arctic forests, the cold was so piercing that the wounded froze to death in thousands. It seemed then that human endurance had reached its limit,| yet a companionpiece to that epic is being written today, in blood and suffering, under the scorching], sun of Africa. The struggle for empire is being| fought by British and Italian troops in the pitiless| heat of Libya, in the stifling bush country of North- ern Kenya; and climate is again the enemy, as it was in Finland. If water fails on the Libyan desert, | fighting men go mad with thirst; if sun helmets are | lost, they fall from sunstroke or blindness; for those who survive, there is no escape from ihe heat but deau. itself, Militarily the not yet been important operations in North Africa have although the British claim to have inflicted heavy damage upon Italian oil tanks and other supplies in air raids on Tobruk, on the Libyan coast, In East Africa, on the other hand, the Italians have won what appears to be a considerable success.

Their physical endurance is high, their generalship is apt to be more daring and unorthodox than the British. These are precisely the qualities required by an East African campaign, They are qualities that may give the British plenty of trouble before the campaign is over for a further invasion of Kenya and the climatic obstacles alone But the British will Vital statistics bureaus report a vast increase in requests for birth certificates.
