to make good the promises it gave in
the Franco-Syrian treaty of 1936.
For all practical purposes toaay
Fmnrp. is incaDable of carrying out
oitWr t.hp terms of that treaty or
the mandate under which it now pre
tends to hold Syria.
Britain's friends in the United
States and elsewhere, and the British
people themselves, are urging ttie
Dt.'oVi flnvornmpnt to move its
UlJblOll v. - -
forces into Syria before the Nazis
can establish a position in that ter
ritory. Based in Syria, Nazi planes
can make assaults on Iraq and Cy
prus, and Naiz troops and air power
can move against Transjordan to
ward Egypt from the north and east
while other Nazi forces are striking
at Tobruk and toward Alexandria
from Crete and Libya.
Britain's position is difficult be
cause of an apparent lack of air pow
er in the Near East, and natural re
luctance to reinforce that power at
the expense of weakening defenses
elsewhere. Yet the time seems at
hand whn heavier risks must be run
by Britain. Indeed, developments in
the Mediterranean, linked as they
to the Battle of the Atlantic, call for
a display of new energy and initiative

Air Power Depends
Upon Bases
The invasion of Crete, by German
parachutists, owed its success to the
control of the air, acquired by the
nap nf thousands of German air
planes.
The strategists are wondering if
this island conquest may prove to be
the testing ground of tactics that
will, some time, pave the way for a
successful invasion of Great Britain.
There is no way to tell. Certainly,
if Germany ever manages to control
tho air nvpr Enirland the island will
be in grave danger of invasion and
conquest. Whether this will' happen
remains to be seen.
Obviously, the British are better
prepared to contest aerial mastery
over England than they were in
Crete. Equally apparent is the un
doubted fact that Germany has hun
dreds of air bases within striking
distance of England. It would be
possible, we presume, for the Ger
mans to launch a stupendous aerial
attack upon the airfields of Great
Britain with the idea of putting them
out of commission, and the effort
might succeed.
This is the danger that the British
face now. Outnumbered in the air in
mnnVrn warfare is iut like beinsr out
gunned in earlier wars, with the dif
ference that aerial artillery Strikes
at 300 miles an hour. The defense
is vet to be found for nisrht attacks
and only offensive tactics, destroying
enemy bases, can protect a nation
from threatened disaster.
This conclusion exnlains the in
sistence of President Roosevelt that
the United States must prevent ene
my nations from accmirincr . bases
from which to launch aerial assaults
upon us. " If we stand by, while Ger-
momr tvnnR hpr faajuyi toward this
continent, our position will be dan
gerous.
