A an br With Whlch Are Incorporated The Bewmanville Newsï The Newcastle Independent, And The Orono News VOLUME 86. BOWMANVILLE, ONT., THURSDAY, -AUGUST 22nd, 1940 NTRP~ AtSSE IT, By Capt. Eln2ote PpOf DIER TAG PASSES August i5th was the day plcl< ed by Hitler months ago as- thq outside limit for bis triumphun- arrivai in London. He has not go- there yet. 'I suspect that he hini self, as well as everyone of th( millions hie has ensiaved, no long. er hàs any illusions us to the diff I culty of that task. Between Hitler and his goal the conquest of Britain - therE stand three walls of defence There is as yet not one shred oJ evg, nce to- suggest that the Ger- mînas can pass any oxie of them - let àlone ail three in turn. The first line of defence is thE airforce. The second is the navy, The third is the army of Britain, The best proof that I see o: fihe effectiveness of the Royal Air Force in this increasingly severe test is that on the night after it had fought the greatest air battle i history it was able to stage the heaviest counter offensive ever made by - any air fighting force. The attacks on Italy.and the very outskirts of Berlin, when the trained Nazi newspapers, Were shrieking f0 their readers that 'Der Tag liad come at iast, were- aý gri reminder that the reai zero hoùn was a very different eue from thut anticipated by Hitl1er. I know of no more inspiing page in the military history of the British people than that written in the past few weeks by those lads who have held the skies above fthe BritishIx lIes. Even if the Germnans were able te do whaf they have been un- able to do so far - temporarily drive the Royal Air Force from, one section of the Channel -they would still have to pass the Bri- tish Navy. I see no evidence from any theatre of ,war iahl the past tWenfy-flve'eàies of bloodshed thaf an'y amounit of air force can overcome seapower. Moreover al the normal rules which might tend f0 make naval forces cau- flous, rather tixan risk heuvy loss- es - such as miglit apply in Nor- way or ini the Mediterranean - will flot apply i the battie for Bifain. Everybody knows what is at stake. In that sense it is lit- .iiytrue to say that the test jYich. the Royal navy mighf have to mneet auiy time n6w is the veny test for which the British navy las been preparing durlng Its vÀple 1200 .,vars of existence. jWranted for the sake of argu- qiit that the Nazis were able to overcome, or evade, or trick, both thxe Royal Air Force and the Royal Navy what size force would tixey needÏIÉ land to have any hope of success? My ýguess is that any- thing less than an army of 300,000 compiete with tanks and aIl the heavy parapixernalia of modern war would have no chance what- ever. Mr. Churchill has clearly stated that Britain has neyer pianned lier defences with fixe idea fixat not a single soldier would ever be able to land on Britishx soil. Aii*one knows that the task of landing a few thousand troops, on a foggy niglit, is no impossible feat. But fixe reai con- sidenation is whetixer a sufficient number couid be landed to pre- vent their own annihilation with- in a few heurs of discovery. In that respect sea power is stiil the answer., h hl - I short, tewoeposition with regard to the invasion of Bni- tain is what it lias alwuys been, since the one slip-up in 1066. A would-be invader net only lias to e s t a b 1 i s h communication,- but maintain it. lI a straighfforward figlit I do nfo believe Hitler has any chance wliatever. That is why I believe that almoat inmeditely after tixis tentative attempt at invasion fails Hitler will fail back on lits alter- natives - namely new "peace" of- fensives, rqegetiations with fools or traitors, who may swailow tixe sugar-coated poison pill of a com- promise peace. * THE UNDEFENDED FRONTIER Thxe fate e!fie world depénda. on fixe outcome o!fie but fié for * Bitain.
