Certainly this is no crime, and in view of the determined attitude of some A'mer- icans to criticize and lambast the British, it is time that the facts be given to the pub- lic. One of the pet allegations of fight, leaving it to the Anzacs, Canadians and South Africans to preserve the Empire. Mr. Butler calls attention to a fact, already from the British Isles. He admits that the British lost many battles because they had too much world area to defend, too little to,do it with and little time in which .to. ‘prepare. This amounts to a general admission that the British Isles were tarred with the same pacificism which all but destroyed the de- fense of the Democracies and opened ihe way for the aggressors to prepare for their attack. The United States, by its disarmament folly and other efforts to avoid “‘offendimrg Japan’”’ finds itself engaged in a war in the Pacific. This war would not have oceurred except for the fact that the Japanese be- | came convinced that we were a nation of “softies,” unwilling to fight and ready to surrender rather than face death. Mr. Butler is pleased with the strength of Gibraltar, Malta and the Suez.- He notes that the islands are still seeure and that “we’re holding the Middl@Basf against fearful. odds.” Moreover, answering thés der where the British Fleet is @ipa#éa/ he points out that mast of Mussolini’s navy is sunk and that Hitler’s warships are hiding. Meanwhile, the submarine is being whip- | ped and the convoys are arriving in Eng- land.
