("Reuter's" Air Correspondent)

LONDON, Feb. 14-There has not been any conclusive confirmation that Nazi air fleets ranged against Britain and her Atlantic life-line have been sapped for a Balkan blitzkrieg.

Qualified observers discount such explanation of the con- tinued lull in Luftwaffe activity in the west as being far too obvious." The weather over north-west Europo continues to be poor and taking advantage of this, Germany is pushing forward with the greatest energy her efforts to re-equip and re-form her squadrons with new or at least improved types of bombers and fighters in readiness for a bigger and more consistent affort.

This strengthening is vitally neces-1 sary because without it intensifica tion of the combined air and sca blockade of Britain and the Invasion cannot succeed and the safety of Gerinan-occupied territories from at cast a bigger onslaught by air con not be guaranteed. i.~,
