"Held in Africa, rolled back from. Greece, defeated decisively in the Mediterranean, Mussolint is proving us helpless an ally to Germany as his nation was to Britain in 1917," Lord Queenborough continued,

The defeat of the Axis combina- Bon on Its Kalian flank may well be

the beginning of the end, though the

end may yet be far from us.

"It may be late Spring before Beltain begins to show air superiority, and before, that time there will be much to endure.

"All that remains now is to endure a little langer until the day when the British forces, re-equipped, fully trained, and led with an un- conquerable determination to avenge the wrongs of Europe, shall carry thic war again Into the enemy countries."
