says CAPT. LIDDELL HART, who lists below
THE Royal Navy is still Britain's first line of de- fence. If war comes to Europe, and London and other English cities are bombed unmercifully, that will be deplorable. But if the Royal Navy is unable to keep the Empire trade routes clear, that will spell disaster for Britain: Whatever Power causes the White Ensign to be hauled down can do what it likes with the Union Jack.
Every resource in man-power, brains, and material that Bri- tain can muster will be needed to make victory possible in the next war, And the "tougher" Britain cun become in peace the botter will be her chances in war.

That is my summary on Captain Liddell Hart's new book, "The Defence,of Britain," published recently.
There is probably no man in Britain more capable of writing a book on such a subject than Captain Liddell Hart. Apart from being internationally accepted as Britain's No. 1 Military strate- gist, he gives confidential" advice to the War Office and writes manuals for the General Staff.

Captain Liddell Hart points out that the Berlin-Rome-Tokio triangle is in the same "boat" as Britain. Italy has to import the bulk of her needs, even to coal. Japan, despite her gains in China, is short of every thing except copper and coal.
Germany, has no home production of copper, rubber, tin, platinum, bauxite, mercury, or mica. Her supplies of iron ore, copper, antimony, nickel, sulphur, wool, and petroleum are quite inadequate,
