THE CHINA MAIL, AUGUST 19, 1940

LOOKING FORWARD IN SOBER CONFIDENCE TO NEXT FIVE WEEKS

THE NAZI ANNOUNCEMENT that a "total blockade” will now be imposed on Bri- tain because of her “repeated violations of international law” has occasioned nothing but surprise in London. Why, it is asked, should the Germans make such an announce- ment at-this juncture, especially since they have frequently claimed they have sunk mil- lions of tons of our shipping and to be starv- ing us out?

The "New Statesmen" yesterday suggest- ed that when winter comes the war will relax into a struggle of blockade, and counter- blockade, propaganda and counter-propa- ganda. Hitler's propaganda will probably run on these lines:-

He will endeavour to persuade the British people and on those' living in his newly-founded em-!! pire that if it was not for a few "selfish imperialists and interna- tional financiers who should be liquidated" the war could end.

Outside Europe, he-will- try-toj convince imperialists and inter- national financiers of the New World that their markets are in danger of being cut off by the British Navy. He would try to convert the United States into an
