SUBDUED CONFIDENCE
THE YEAR 1940 ends on a note of con- fidence and subdued optimism in Britain; on the threshhold of the New Year Germany finds herself opposed by the unconquerablė spirit and tenacity of the British peoples, now better armed and trained and surer of them- selves and their strength than at any time in their history.
Though Germany has scored undoubted victories on the Continent she has failed in the chief objective-the downfall of Britain- and it is very significant that Hitler's New Year Order of the Day to his troops is defen- sive, not aggressive.
There are four courses
which are probably being AIRCRAFT
weighed by Hitler at pre-
sent.
Firely an invasion of Britain Secondly, the
ungentem'ed France,

Thirdly, a drive into

Not Worth The Candle
Occupation
of the unoccupied France would give Hitler access to Mediterranean ports and to Joint frontier with Italy, consi- derable loot and possibly some ships that could not be removed in ime.
But it would almost certainly lead to war with the French Colonial Empire. The French Navy would be a foe Instead of a neutral, and the game hardly kosms worth the candie.
Balkan Snags

A drive in o the Balkans is an ider which Hitler's propaganda services have been encouraging by reports of troop concentration- in Rumania.
Except tha help could mors quickly be given to the sore' reset Italan troops in Albania. the advantage of a Balkan com- paign would hardly seem to bal ence the added responsibilities and risks.
