The article below is taken from a Nazi military text-book "Raum und Volk im Welktriege", Before the war, the Nazis made strenuous efforts to suppress publication of an English version which, however appeared under the title "Germany, Propare for War" (Lovett Dickson, Ltd.). The book makes abundantly clear the main line of Germany's
plan for an invasion of England.
THE security of England is hound up with undisturbed maritime trade and a strong navy; none of these things is possible without the others; if but one drops out, the whole structure falls to pieces.
THE INVASION
OF ENGLAND
its two main pil- lars are the navy and, of course, the unswerving deter mination of the English people. The military upshot of this is that for England the navy is much more important than the army. If the worst comes to the worst. the navy has (as happened in the world war) to procure for
the English, secure behind their
sen-walls, the necessary time to raise an army,
Great Britain is easily approached from the Sea owing to its many bays and short but deep rivers, "nor does its Interior, apart from Scotland and Wales, present many obstacles to communication. Even the Pennine Chain in the north of England forins no barrier, being merely a sort of raised plateau covered with sheep-runs. Any hostile threat or actual invasion must be aimed at one of three areas, and if possible against the most Important one, the Midlands, which are also the principal centre for the manufacture of arms.

THE OUTBURST of hysteria over the Asama Maru incident would occasion con- siderable astonishment to onlookers were it not that Japan is the coun-
try responsible.

The Japanese allegations that the stop- page of the Asama Mary near territorial waters was a "deliberate British insult" could be dismissed only as pyschological evidence of a national inferiority complex were other and more serious repercussions not a possibility,
The allegations are, indeed, fantastic in view of the forbearance Britain and other Powers have exercised during Japan's de predation on the Asian mainland.
The Japanese people and the Japanese Press conveniently forget the number of incidents that have occurred not only just outside British territorial waters in Hong- kong, but also in those waters and on the terrain of the Colony itself.
It is forgotten that the P. and O. liner The Ranpura was halted and boarded on very edge of Hongkong waters. The Jap antse-Press-does-not-recall that British ships. have been bourded on no less than 191 occasions; that even now British ships are being unlawfully detained in the custody of the Japanese Navy; that hundreds of Hongkong-registered junts carrying Hong- kong-born men, women and children have been sunk and their crews drowned or otherwise killed; that cleven Chinese persons have been killed in British territory on the Hongkong border by Japanese muckine-guns All this despite the fact that Japan has no belligerent rights, as had the British naval unit which stopped the Asama Maru,'

ONE does not have to turn back the pages of history far to discover the motive for the present unreasoning hysteria of the Japanese people.
The Japanese have been frustrated in their war in China. The farther they advanced, the more sweep- ing their victories, in the field, and the greater the the losses they inflicted on the defenders, the more re- solute has become the re- sistance of the Chinese, Japan's disappointment with the pro- longation of their costly enterprise has turn- ed to resentment against the Powers whose insistence upon their long-established rights is an offence to the Japanese ambition to destroy the white man's influence in China.
That resentment has found expression in i tong series of wantón affronts and injuries to British nationals and British interests, in oblivion of old friendship and former alliance.
The anti-British agitation, began in fil- humour, seems now to verge almost on a de-. liberate attempt to pick a quarrel with Britain whilst her hands are tied in Europe. It is Britain who has been singled out as the arch-- enemy because, apparently, Britain will not depart from its neutrality in China to become a tame confederate of Japan's designs.
THE one restraining influence upon Japan- ese policy at the present time fs the reluctance. to antagonise the United States, whose interests -in-the Far East are not only extensive bat
difficult to separate from those of other nations,- Janan has far more cause to feel rebuffed and alfronted by the abrogation of the U.S. Trade treaty, which became effective yesterday, but American Dil and American war materials are providing not only the butter, but also the bread of her campaign in Chilan, and America has not the responsibilities on other continents that face Brilain to-day.
One thing is certain--the synchronisation of Janan's hysteria regarding the Asama Maru incident with the abrogation of the U.S. Trade Treaty (the people are apt to forget the alter In their excitement over the former) is more than neeilenini.
The Japanese people will yet learn, how- ever, that Americn's adian will have repercus- sions far more preiudicial to their national prestige and Inimical to their interests thnas the boarding of a N.Y.K, liner.

Wednesday Is the 921st anni- versary of the execution. though the official service for "the royal martyr" was übolish- ed in 1859, there is a largo and apparently increasing body of opinion devoted to the marlyr king whose name was restored to the Calendar of Saints by Convocation in 1915.
"People are beginning realise that King Charles was a victim of the first Fascist dicta- torship," member of the Royal Martyr Church Union re- cently said.

On Wednesday the traditional. service will be held in the City of London and followed by a procession with pipers to lay wreaths on the King Charles Statue at Charing Cross. There will also be a special service for the King at St. Columbia's, Edinburgh.
The south-east of England also deserves special attention, us it is most easily reached from the Con tinent and, as the seat of the capital, is of paramount importance politically.
The Great Ouse which flows Into the Wash, and a number of streams flowing into the Black- water estuary which are only separated from the source of the Ouse by a few miles, make the peninsula into a regular island, which provides an invading aring with safe and roany quarters from which it can threaten London, which is quite close and without natural defences on that side, and also the industrial Midlands not for awiy,
It is very important to make up our minds how the English character may be expected to

The nation will certainly rush to arms as one man and with berole abalibacy let Itself he mown down in front of the line of the Ouse or the chalk and Jurassic hills. before it is forced back step by step.
But it is questionable whether the English could face starvation. *** Physically they, have been
for centuries tremely pampered and would find it very hard to ndjust themselves to real privation (such as they never experienced during the War in spite of food- cards).
Some of them would no doubl patriotically endure even that, but others might throw up the game, which would have ceased to be one for them, sooner.
We confess that, it gives us pleasure to meditate on the des- truction that must sooner or later overlake this proud and seem Ingly invincible nation, and to think that this country, which was last conquered In 1066, will once more obey a foreign master or at any rate will have to resign its rich colonial empire.
The above sentences would rank appear monstruous, nay blasphemy, to every Englisliman and Englishwoman in the word- If they ever saw them.

and Ireland extends over thout 6,875 miles, but as long as the Grand Flect is functioning, there are only two places worth consider ing for a hostile landing-the broad East Anglian peninsula, profected ou the flanks by the Wash and the estuary of the Thames, which lends itself well to defence and the peninsula of Kent and Sussex, lying between the Thames eluary and the Channel, the occupation of which by an enemy would be a
direct still more
threat to the capital.

In caso of doubt, the occupation of East Angia is the preferable plan; for It enables one to threaten both London and the Industrial are of cruelal Midlands, which Importance for England's resis tance, and would biso derive most benent from an Irish in- vasion of the latter. When We
consider the wonders we achieve and the troulilo we spent on less essential objectives, we are forced to the conclusion that our failure to occupy Ilolland and attempt a landing on the other side of the Channel was a grave error. Till the beginning of 1910, the English, as we know now.'05- sumed that we should be able to lund 100,000 men, as the General Fleet could not get Into action within less than twenty-four hours of the transports' being sighted.
