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 can become in peace the better 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 Stair.
So when he says, for instance; the opening days of the war, thus "Aerial defence in not yet on equal affurding our superior battle flect terms with attack. Its presence. the chance to destroy them.

Captain Liddell Hart says: "As long as the use of the Empire sen routes is ensured, most of these products will be available to Britain." In other words, the Royal Navy is still, and must always be, our first line of defence. Bombs might destroy London, but only the defeat of the Royal Navy can destroy

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.
