GIVING ITALIANS ENOUGH ROPE--TO HANG THEMSELVES
THE MILITARY VIEW of the Italian offensive in British Somaliland is expressed in an official |statement issued by G.H.Q. în Cairo yesterday, deal-
ing with recent developments in the area.
"It is not our object," the statement reads, "to [defend every inch of soil in Somaliland, but rather to make the enemy use up his precious supplies of food, petrol and ammunition.
"These he cannot replenish al- though he is engaged on what is a strategical wasteful enterprise.
"Any immediate successes the enemy many have in the occupa- tion of parts of the Protectorate will be offset by the necessity of providing food for the population,] which is entirely dependent upon Aden for many essential supplies.
"Our goal is not the gaining of territory, but the destruction | of the enemy's forces.
"The more the Italians dissipate their forces and their means, the more they lengthen their commu-i nications and complicate their ad- ministrative difficulties, the better it is for us."
ITALY
ITALY ALSO EXPECTED TO WITHDRAW
The Tokyo news- paper "Nichi Nichi”~ yesterday predicted that Italy will probab- ly follow Britain's ex- ample and withdraw her troops from China ̧ "'as a lead to other powers who maintain troops there."-Reu-
ter.
