The nearest is Rumanian oil; and to-day Rumania is a German colony. The presence. of the British in Greece threatened the Rumanian wells and to eliminate this threat Germany attacked the Greeks and Yugoslavs. But Rumanian oil is insufficient. Hitler thought that unoccu- pied Spain and France, un- occupied for the moment, would be useful channels for the receipt of American oil. But the British blockade has" frustrated his hopes.
There remained the oil in Iraq, Iran and the Caucasus. As the Golden Fleece guided the movements of the ancient Argonauts, oil to-day guides the Nazi movements, The insurrection was German work undertaken to obtain control of the oil from Mosul and the pipe line carrying it to Haifa in the Mediterranean.
RUSSIA'S ..... SUPPLIES........ The Italo-Nazi campaign in Libya was a strategic diver- sion arranged to protect Ru- manian, wells and to minimise the British forces round the Iraq wells and also those in Iran which are near the Per- sian Gulf. To the north of Iran lies the Russian oil of the Caucasus and the pipe line which carries it from Baku, on the Caspian, to Batum, on the Black Sen. The transport of this oil along the Danube to Germany and. Italy would be easier than that of the Iraq oil through the Mediterranean, for this controlled by the sea 18 British fleet.
To remove the British fleet from the Eastern Mediterranean is the secondary objective of the North" African campaign. 'German pres- sure against Tasin in the North and North-cast of Europe is pro- posed not only with the view of seizing the Ukrainian grain but to force Russia to hand over part of the Caucasian olt. Similarly the conquest of the Persian Gulf and Suez would open to Germany the Indian Ocean for other imports from America and Asia.

Passive Resistance
The spirit with which the French in the Mother Country take German orders is rather well illustrated in the follow- ing incident which occurred in a big town in the west.
A monument to France's dead was draped with the French flag and English emblems. The Germans removed the French flag and placed in its stead an Italian flag. The French tore it down' and trod on it.
As a reprisal, the Germans insisted that two men should present themselves every day to mount guard at the monu- ment. This is a favourite German punishment. Often after telephone wires have been cut, the male population of a town has been made responsible for keeping watch to see that it does not happen again.
The next morning. 500 Frenchmen turned up to mount. guard. The Kommandantur could do nothing but cancel his orders, and send the five hundred home with as much speed as possible.
On All Saints' Day last year, English graves were heaped with flowers gathered by school children. The flowers were made up into little red, white and blue bunches. When the Germans noticed this touching act, they removed all the flowers instantly.
Italians Ridiculed
The working classes in Paris are convinced now that General de Gaulle will come and deliver them from the Germans, and with patience and bearing they wait. Elsewhere, in occupied France, the Allied victory in Egypt has been respon- sible for a colossal rallying of public opinion.
More astonishing is the fact that the Germans of the Army of occupation in France have heard about the Allied victories and hold their Italian allies up to ridicule in front of the French.
Germans' Morale Low
The German Army of Occupation shows signs of being rather unhappy in its work. In spite of frequent leave, and perhaps on account of frequent leave, the morale is exceedingly low. The German soldiers' and sailors' uniforms look unkempt,
