War Analyst Sees Major Fight
Brewing in Northern Africa
From Churchill Remarks
' . ' :';By KIRKE L. SIMPSON '
i: Special to The Statesman
1 "V -"Prime Minister Churchill has thrown out a veiled hint that
"events. may be impending in north Africa which will. lighten a
; little the British gloom over increasingly ominous news from
Greece.
: . Exactly what his words to parliament implied is question-
- ble; yet there seemed to be some
"." lignificance in the fact that he
refused to discuss the Libyan cam-
paign although he said the London
government was "very accurately
informed" on the situation there. . ,
"I do not think that any ;
statement on Libya would be
appropriate at the present time,
Churchill said.
There have been increasing in
timations that the British navy
and the reinforced army of the
Nile might be preparing to aban
don defensive for offensive tac
, tics. liven a terse Berlin assertion
Ibat the nazi-fascist spearhead in
the Salum sector on the Libyan-
Egyptian border is again in mo
. tion eastward might reflect that.
The British hold on Tobruk and
in the Salum area has not been
broken. Further axis penetration
into Egypt with that threat in its
.,rear,,and the Brilish Mediterran-
' ean fleet ; , battering its distant
. rAmffinnifffltiAn linoc in tKa ro it
; of Sicily and at Tripoli, would
, seem very risky. Perhaps nazi air
scouts have seen signs of an im
pending counter attack from the
east and the axis forces feel com
pelled to move eastward in an at-,
tempt to break it up.
.. Another Intimation that the
British may have been able to
rash substantial reinforcements
Into Egypt from east Africa has
now come from neutral sources.
An Associated Press correspon
dent who reached Turkey from
the British front in Greece esti
mates the strength of the em
pire forces still in Greece when
he left at from 50,000 to 80,
000 men, on the retreat.
It is the story of that retreat,
of another Dunkerque perhaps,
that Churchill refused to tell now
to parliament. Yet the estimate of
the number of empire troops still
in Greece implies either that some
have already been withdrawn or

that a greater portion qf the army
of the Nile in north Africa was
diverted toward the east African
war theatre than was sent to
Greece, irthat is true, a formida
ble British force must be muster
ing east of the Libyan-Egyptian
frontier for defensive or offensive
action.
Whatever may be the facts as
to that, however, hour-by-hour
reports from Greece picture an
increasingly grave situation for
the Greeks and their British al
lies alike. Churchill's deferred ac
counting to parliament on the
Balkan campaign can only further
prepare public opinion in England
snd the empire for bitter news.
