The British prospects for suc
cessful occupation of Syria are
excellent. 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

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.
