England Rushes Reinforcements
To Middle East in Anticipation
Of Winter Battles, Analyst Says
By KIRKE L. SIMPSON
' " - Special to The Statesman
.Implicit in utterly conflicting London and Rome accounts of
recent sea-air battles in the Mediterranean is the obvious fact
that heavy British reinforcements in men and fighting gear are
being rushed eastward through those dangerous waters.
They may be destined to Join
battle with their nazi foes, fight
ing beside Russian troops in de
fense of the Caucasus. Certainly
they are designed to increase sub
stantially . the strength of British
defense lines that now reach 2,000
miles or more, unbroken, from
India to the Egyptian - L i b y a n
frontier in the western desert.
Or they may be taking- post
; for offensive action daring the
winter fighting season in the
North African desert, providing
events on the Rnssian-nasi bat
tle line warrant another Brit
ish counter stroke against axis
foes in Libya,
Prime Minister Churchill's re
cent intimation that his govern
ment had weighed unfavorably
counter invasion proposals as a
. means of relieving pressure on
Russia does not rule out that pos
sibility.
Italian press comment indicates
serious expectation of a new Brit
ish attack in Libya. Hitler could
not spare either the air power or
the troops and tanks from his
great adventure in Russia to prop
his tattering axis mate anew in
Africa, even if means of getting
German reinforcements to the
scene were available.
They are not Churchill told
parliament that while British
sea losses had been cut daring
the last three months to a third
of what they were in the pre
ceding three months, British
destruction of axis shipping had
risen three-fold in the same pe
riod. And it was on Italian or
Italian-used shlppingin the
Mediterranean that the axis
ton-nage losses fell most heav-
Some British authorities claim
that British sea and air power in
the Mediterranean has been tak
ing a steady 30 per cent toll or
better of Italian craft employed
in attempts to reinforce the axis
army in Libya. " ' I
The fact that the British ate still
Using the narrow Sicilian straits
to pass important convoys east
ward clearly Indicates British na
val control of the Mediterranean.
The axis victory in Greece and
taking of. Crete has not worked
out as Berlin and Rome hoped it
would, apparently because of Hit
ler's plunge into the "crusade"
against Russia. '
At any rate, It seems
that unless the nasis carry the
battle into the Caucasus jsoon
and force the sending of power
ful British Imperial armies
there to aid the Russians; the
British soon will have forces
available along the India-Egypt
lifeline for offensive action.
