Naval control of Mediterranean and land-air control in Africa

seen of vital i

(By J. F. Sanderson. Canadian Press Staff Writer) .

While Hitler's grey-clad troops line the Greek-Bulgarian frontier and the Nazis atte-mpt pacificatfon of the Balkans by diplomatic or military action. two important facts should be kept in mind-Bri- tain's naval control of the Medl- terranean. particularly the eastern basin. and Britain's dominant land position in North Africa. from the

Suez Canal westward to Bengasl Libya. As long as these factors egrisi.

North Africa stands as a spring- board‘ for military action in any direction. including the Axis-don't. lnated continent of Europe.

There are military experts who expect this war to be won from Africa using it as a base against Italian and German domination of Europe. Those who support this theory point to the crumbling of Bulgaria by an allied force laun- ched from Salonika in 1918 that led to the German collapse on the western front. They suggest that German domination of the Balk- ans today means relatively litilc as long as North Africa. remains under British control and as long as the British navy commands the Mediterranean to rovfde freedom of action in the M drlic East
