The ultimate reaction of Berlin and Vichy is what lies In the valley of uncertainty. For the first time in this war the British have struck with speed and precision. In the Bal kan campaign, the Germans were able to determine weeks in advance the strength and dis position of the British expedi tionary force; in France, the British plan for advancing Into Belgium was almost common knowledge, months in advance. Suparior in Air Preliminary reports of the ad vance Into Syria show striking British air superiority; indeed, there is as yet only the slightest evidence of reaction by the Ger man air forces which have in filtrated the mandate. There is, moreover, every sign that the French army of the Le vant is doing the ground fight ing in the defense; German tech nicians may, of course, be help ing at headquarters, but there appears to be no effective Nazi ground force in Syria as yet. The French defenders them selves are handicapped both by a lack of supplies, particularly oil, and by a lack of fighting fer vor. It is safe to say that these 40,000 disillusioned men have little will to engage in a melan choly struggle with the Free French who are advancing with the British. Also, the British command shrewdly has sent one their governors again Avoid Second Error Nevertheless, the Britsh are not repeating the mistake of Da kar, where they went by sea last September with a Free French expedition, expecting to be wel Parks.

The attackers have bases and supplies; they have friendly Turkey on the north. None of these advantages were existent at Dakar. Eventual German reaction of a military nature is, of course. a certainty. It may not come in Syria. . Berlin has laid careful stress on the Syrian affair as one for France to handle and thus in Germany a British occupation of the mandate will not appear to be a German defeat. Hitler is not apt to let the British rest indefinitely in possession of Syria, but, on the other hand. he may hesitate to risk a clear- cut fight there until he has a land approach to the Levant; in other words, until he feels the time is ripe to march through Turkey.
