War Conditions
In a brief discussion on condi
tions and in answer to questions
by members of the local club, the
colon 1 revealed a number of
interesting points bearing on the
European war situation as view
ed in the States. American-made
planes in service of the British,
he said are eminently successful
in meeting Nazi planes. America
he said is learning much from ob
serving the experiences of others
in the war and profiting there.
Among improvements to Ameri
can planes are leak-proof tanks
and armor. Opinion of well infor
mod obs rvers, he said is that
there is now only one possible
outcome of the war. British in
dustry while not having the ad
vantage of mass production such
as exists in the States said the
speaker is spread over such a
wide' area in th British Isle?
and the population so large that
her industry is not seriously in
paired. The streak of bull-dog ir
the British has preserved her
m ’• lo under very trying circum
stances.
M ajor Gaffney and the colon:!
mad!' other interesting observa
tions on the science and progress
of building and handling of bomb
ers and other army planes. Ask
ed as to the accuracy of bomb
ers in aiming at objectives, Ma
jor Gaffney said that a r'cent
j writer spoke of aiming at pickle
barrets. “My advice,’’ said the
major, “is to stay out of the
pickle barrel.’’

mittee.

A concentration of Italian troops < 1-black arrow) on the Libyan
Egyptian frontier was reported and British circles foresaw a drive
on Egypt. One possibility is that the Italians might try »m over
land push toward the Suez Canal (white arrow). Further south,
jabbing blows by Italy at Kenya and British Somaliland (2-black
arrows) indicated Italy might be trying to gain control of tlie
southern entrance to the Red Sea, thus getting into position to at
tack Egypt from Libya on one side and the Red Sea on the other.
