Last week the first major blows fell when Nazi planes and men began lo move into Syrla, out- flanking Cyprus and contributing to Turkish encirclement; when Crete had to counter the shock of a Nazi alrdborne invasion; and when Alexandria, already threat. ened by the Axis thrust into Egypt, became, the object of repeated bombing raids: The Strategic Triangle On the subject of the Battle of Crete, "Time," May 19, had this to say: "If Crete should fall, the ' British position in the eastern Medi- terranean would be pretty nearly untenable. The British would then have no practicable advance naval. bases, and -German bombers would have almost a semi-circle of air bases withinveasy striking distance! of the Suez Canal and of Alexan- dria, the last Intact fleet base." We might add that the Axis' task of proceeding overland from the east against Suez would be con- siderably expedited. 'Axis Uses Syria Last week General Wavell was in a very nncomfortable position with regard to Syria. He had to watch the Germans.use Syria as a highway to pile up forces to at- tack him, yet was unable to take decisive action without making an open and bloody breach" with 'the French, . Looking at the brighter side, of the picture, Associated Press cor- 'respondent Dewitt Mackenzie pointed out that the surrender of the Duke of Aosta with a force of from 36,000 to 38,000 troops in Ethiopia released an {important i British force to help meet the new Axls offensive.

Last week none of the three had yet thrown Its weight definitely on the side of ether Ger many or the Allies. Turkey, out- flanked and all hut outmanoeuvred, was in a pretty hopeless position | las far as helping Britain was con- " cerned and could be counted on to do only what Russia advised. The lattew though obviously not liking the latest German thrusts down in- to the east, evidently did not feel ~ that the time .was ripe for taking action. France was. sliding inevit- ably, albeit reluctantly, into the Axis arms and into war with the democracies. War With France?

To those people, U. 'S.

The question of peace with China had by last week becomo a para- mount issue in Japan. The Tokyo government had been actively con- sldering the position of recent months, and the press had become increasingly insistent that the "Chinn incident" be settled quick- Iy. Back of these moves several fac- tors operated. One, the country is in dire straits economically; an- other, Tokyo desires to be free to deal with any situation growing out of the fast moving European war -- Japan is, greatly worried America will enter the conflict; then the Japanese want to be in a position to grab rich plckings in tho Dutch East Indies should the opportunity be afford- ed. (Pravda, the Moscow newspaper, last week circulated a dispatch un- der a 'New York dateline quoting "reliable Japanage circles" there that Japan had asked the U. 8S. to mediate in the Far Eastern sit- uation. The dispatch. sald Japan had offered to withdraw troops froth the Chineso interior if the U. S. recognized Japan's dominant position in China. Japan would re- frain from hostilities In the South Seas, it said, in return for econom- ic concessions and possibly an Am- erlecan Joan). Decisive Battle Meanwhilo a large-scale battle raged in the Shansi-Honan border region of China which to many ob- servers appeared of decisive con- sequence In the whole Battle of China. It was thought that the war might take a bad turn for the Chin- ese and make the provisional cap- Ital at Chungking untenable if the Japanese should defeat tho large Chinese forces facing them. But latest reports last week indicated that the defenders were more than holding their own.
