Obviously our own security is more than ever involved with that of France, Belgium and Holland, and our national strategy in the interests of security centres round the problem of how we can come to their assistance if they are at tacked. Is there any way of rendering assistance under modern conditions except by direct sup port? The Navy has been de- prived of much of its power of exercising pressure unless neutral Powers are prepared to walve objections. To land an army in the territory of a-civilised-enemy possessing air forces and means of rapidly moving reinforcements to the point of attack is an opere-
if fensible tion which, entails too many uncertainties to form an acceptable basis of any far-reaching plan. Even if base for air operations only was required, a port and a considerable extent of ground would have to be i captured and held.
