CAPT. LIDDELL HART, who lists below

THE Royal Navy is still Britain's first line of de-

fence. If war comes to Europe, and London The and other English cities are bombed unmercifully, that will be deplorable. But if the Royal Navy is unable to keep the Empire trade routes clear, that will spell disaster for

Britain. Whatever Power causes the White Ensign to

be hauled down can do what it likes with the Union Jack. Every resource in man-power, brains, and material that Bri- tain can muster will be needed to make victory possible in the next war. And the "tougher" Britain can become in peace the better will be her chances in war.

That is my aummary on Captain Liddell Hart's new book, "The Defence of Britain," published recently.

There is probably no man in Britain more capable of writing a book on such a subject than Captain Liddell Hart. Apart from being internationally accepted as Britain's No. 1 Military strate gist, he gives confidential advice to the War Office and writes manuals for the General Staff.

So when he says, for instance: the opening days of the war, thus "Aerial defence is not yet on equal affording our superior battle feet terms with attack. Its presence, the chance to destroy them. But however, seerns a strong deterrent. to count on this would be wishful I accept it, even though half a dozen thinking. other writers will tell you the bomber's day is done. He adds: "Britain's big problem is 10 gel quick results and save herself from

I found the book non-alarmist, parts, pessimisties, optimistic in some parts, pessimistic in others. There is much straight talk, pages and pages of high strategy dealing with mill- tary moves in the next war.

Captain Liddell Hari says: "As long as the use of the Empire sen routes is ensured, most of these products will-be-avalluble-to-Britain In other words, the Royal Navy is still, and must always be, our first line of defence. Bombs might destroy London, but only the defeat of the Royal Navy can destroy Britain.

Captain Liddell Hart points out that the Berlin-Rome-Tokio triangle is in the same "boat" as Britain. Italy has to import the bull of her needs, even to coal. Japan, despite her gains in China, is short of every- thing except copper and coal:

Germany has no home production of copper, rubber, tin, platinum, bauxite, mercury, or mten. Ber supplies of iron ore, copper, antimony, nickel, sulphur, wool, and petroleum are quite inadequate.
