Nazis Will Have To The Gas-Mask

ALL reports I have received point to the fact that the Allies have to contend with a Germany even now in the position in which she found herself during 1917 and 1918. We are not dealing with the Germany of 1914.
Despite Nazi successes in Poland the war is funda- mentally unpopular in Germany.
The food position is already worse than in 1917, when it was desperate through the British blockade.
The position is bad in industrial Germany, too. The wear and tear on factory machinery in recent months has been so serious that technicians are finding it impossible to maintain a rate of war material production that would give Germany a superiority in armaments.
M, Daladier, the French Premier, considers--and all the. Allied war chiefs share his opinion-that the blockade of Ger- many will bring about the collapse of the Nazi system--and more quickly than is generally thought.

Since the war started Home Office officials have been working round-the-clock shifts checking up on every German known to be in Britain.
