This may have made it impossible for Italian Marshal Graziani to move his troo s into one concen- trated mass witch would have out- numbered the British forces three to one.

Whatever the reasons. Grazlrmi kept his troops split up in isolated garrisons from 60 to 100 miles apart and the British forces have been able to defeat them one at a. time.

Some American observers. how- ever. have expressed the belief that placing the emphasis for the Italian defeat on lack of transport is an over simplification of the proble . They list two other possible causes:

Lack of the rill t0 fight.

2. Bad equipment.

Some of these reports suggest that the vehicles were removed. for use in the campaign against Greece.

By Sam Robertson Canadian Press Staff Writer

LONDON. Feb. 6 —(OP) —A high naval source said toclziy that Ger- man long-range submarines soon may launch extensive sea wutrfare again t shipping in Canada's Adan- tic waters.

At the same time Commodore L. W. Murray, noisily-appointed com- mandzint of Royal Canadian naval ships and establishment. in the Unit- cd Kingdom. announced that the number of Canadian naval units operating fr. British ivaiers may be quadrupled in the sprinc.

The warning of possible sea tor-i ror near Cmiadn was accompanied by this remark from the naval source who gave 1t:-

“The (loubling of Canada‘ scn-.

power announced this week by Prime Minister Mackenzie King will provide an answer to any such Nazi plans." From Canada's army came expres- sicn of satisfaction u‘; plans for strengthening its armored resistance and increasing it- infantry ranks.

Liz-Gen. A.G.L. McNaughton, gen- eral officer commaudiug-lii-cliief the the Canadian corps. said: “The program represents a careful ar- Wuniircnent of the resources available .i'n Canada in n manner calculated ‘lo cxcri; the maximum possible cf- ifcct cu the cncmy. 'I‘his is the one
