This has been sufficient so far to keep the Italians at bay. But now the Brit- ish face a new menace. For the talks between Hitler and Marshal Petain contemplate the use of Frnch | Syria against them. In Syria are | about 100,000 French Arab troops| which might be sent down through | Palestine to take Suez. | In other words, the British might be caught between the pincers of Graziani's army on one side in EZypt and the French Syrian army on the other side. This might make ll\e problem of protecting Suez desper- ate. And that is why the British can't send many troops to help Greece. Another reason why they can't give help to Greece their fear that the attack of Greece is a feint to get all of Britain’s Mediter: raneanl fleet concentrated in the east. Then | Germany would attack Gibraltar in the west. This, of course, would| mean perfect teamwork between the two dictators; and it may be that they put out the rumor of a rift| merely to catch the British off- guard. They have been known to do things like that. Meanwhile, the Germans con- tinue to pour troops into Rumania. They are not only re-training the Rumanian army under Nazi strat- egy, they are also bringing in tons of German munitions, 8o it looks as if Hitler would put the squeeze on Greece from the Bulgarian side »fi}# g g Ui L |in the regular fighting forces.

The only sect which might come in for trouble is “Jehavah's Witnesses,” whose refusal to salute the flag makes it hard to handle them in lany army activity. Conscientious objection is no ground, however, for refusing to register. And objectors will serve their full year of training, like men 19-HOUR DAY Between the fire and the fire- water, General George Marshall, U. S. Chiet of Staff, had a busy day. When fire broke out in the Muni- tions Building, Marshall was on hand at four in the morning. He had a press conference at six, went home for breakfast, was back at seven-thirty. He worked through the morning, lunched with Latin American offi- cers, worked through the after- noon, then attended a cocktail party at the Army War College. That would have provided enough fire-water for Marshall for one day, but he had more social duties. ‘He who is Assistant Secretary of State.
