If Hitler can cut the British life-line 'president the right, theoretically there, it will be a terrific blow at the tight little island at least, to take the shirt from that is still fending off attack upon itself. It is plain that if anything happens of that nature in the Middle East, the Battle of the Atlantic will become more vital than ever. The Atlantic will then be the main remaining lane of supply for the hard-pressed British. Such development obviously will draw the United States closer to the struggle, and with the Germans concentrating their effort against Atlantic shipping, anything can happen. Although time works for the British In their island fortress, and it seems that Hitler cannot wait too long for an all-out attack on the island itself, there is reason to believe the German plan right now is to cut the life line first.

Every unfavorable development for the British there makes the battle of the Atlantic, which is rapidly becoming our battle, more vital. And as it becomes more vital, every incident that oc eors will add to the danger of American involvement in outright hostilities. With this the war season, no real lulls can be expected. The Germans can be expected to push to as early a con clusion as possible of the issues in the Middle East and the Germans have brought issues to conclusion in remark ably short periods. Hence, no time must be lost in this countrv in nrcnar. ation for any eventuality. The pressure must be turned on war department, but congress will adopt other restrictions which may not be acceptable. What the framers of the leg islation have in mind, they say, are primarily patents and cross license cases. The necessity of taking control of communica tions, railroads and possibly utilities in the future is like wise foreseen. The bill has nothing whatever to do with acquiring land.
