Logic argues that there is no reason why, if the Colony is safe enough for some hundreds of British women and children, why it should not be safe for some thousands;! logic, however, can made the servant of circum-: stances and relegated to a posi- tion where it can be loftily ignored, This has certainly been the case with evacuation.
Britain Under Handicaps
If the British really had wanted to threaten the three States, they would have had to do so through the narrow Straits of the Skagerrak and Kattegat first, which was impossible in the face of Germany's strong defences there. To reach home again, they would have had to retrace their steps with the prospect of being bottled up in the Baltic and destroyed by German forces;

These facts scarcely accord with the friendly but non-committal words which Herr Hitler and Primo Minister Molotov have been exchanging from time to time. But the less respon- sible leaders are more free to express their opinions. That may be borne out by a
