C. MEDITERRANEAN MIX-UInside story on General Wavellg transfer to India, as told in diplomatic dispatches, is that Wavell had been quarreling with Churchill and had opposed political-militar- y moves such as the campaign in Greece and Crete and the expedition to Solum. More important from the American point of view,- Wavell had fa- vored the evacuation of all British forces from the entire Mediterranean area. And U. S. military experts agreed with him in fact, urged it. So although in a sense General Wavell is being demoted, yet in other respects he will be in a position to command British forces from an area to which he had urged that British forces retreat. For some time General Wavell had contended that Britains position in the Mediterranean was indefensible. The British force of only 400,000 men in the Near East faced a combined Axis total twice as strong 400,000 Germans and Italians in Libya, plus 600,000 Nazis in Greece, Bulgaria and Rumania. The latter figure has been partially diminished by transfers to Russia; but Wavell argued that the armies could concentrate attack in one place while British troops had to spread out over a line from Libya to Syria and Iraq. Therefore he disagreed with Churchill on all military moves which had a political motive. U. S. Worried Over Atlantic. U. S. military and naval strategists sided with Wavell, were strong for the idea of a complete British withdrawal from the Mediterranean. The strategy behind this was twofold: 1. The British have lost 40 per cent of their original Mediterranean fleet. The losses at Crete were much worse than officially admitted, and even in the Syrian campaign naval losses were considerable. Therefore, American naval men, facing the probability of having to help the British fleet in the Atlantic, did not want the fleet further weakened. 2. The United States is more interested in what happens on the bulge of Africa around Dakar (opposite Brazil) than it is in the Mediterranean. To this end, both General Wavell and U. S. strategists favored the idea of withdrawing British forces from the Mediterranean entirely and establishing a new line of defense across the very center of Africa from Port Sudan on the Red sea to Freetown on the Atlantic ocean. This line of defense meant that about 1,500 miles of the hottest desert in the world would be between the Nazis and the British lines. Over such a desert it is difficult for tanks to operate without heating up; also it is difficult for the average bomber to carry a load over such distances. So it was expected that the Nazis would exhaust themselves in the deep, hot deserts of Africa. Part of the plan contemplated a highway straight across equatorial Africa from Freetown and later from Dakar to Port Sudan. Churchill Says No. However, Churchill was flatly opposed. So were many other British leaders. They felt that the shock of withdrawal from the Mediterranean, traditional sphere of British influence, and from Suez which had been identified with the British empire for years, would be too much for the British public. This debate occurred before the Nazi attack on Russia and before the British march into Syria. But after the slowness of Wavells success in Syria, all these factors culminated in his transfer to India. There Wavell can concentrate on defense of the most important part of the empire if the Nazis creep up on the Indian border in South Russia. Also, he will not be in the Mediterranean, for the defense of which he had no great enthusiasm. record by pouring, without interruption, a melt that weighed 53,488 tons, reports Colliers.

The statement was made that a ship a day, approximately, is docking and unloading at Red sea ports, not accounting for such others as may be arriving in convoy in England itself. If these ships are well loaded with the munitions of war, then the British commands in North Africa as well as on the British Isles should be having measurably strengthened their hands. The period in which General Auchinlech took over and General Wavell gave up the North African command was followed by a continuance of the inactivity which had marked this stalemate. But as soon as the Syrian peace was announced, it was expected that the North African battle would be resumed, and that the new general plus his new equipment, would make a determined effort to release the garrison of Tobruk. d long-besieg- KNUDSEN: And Rubber Nazi-Fasci- st J.

Knudsen, of OPM, making a tour of the defense production areas, that he had little worry about the rubber situation, despite the fact that the government, foreseeing a shortage, had ordered the tire makers not to use more rubber than they had in the first six months. Mr. Knudsen said that the rubber situation was this: that even if the supply of real rubber was cut off, the industry knew enough about synthetic rubber manufacture to pick right up and continue the supply of suitable tires and other articles without feeling the shortage of the actual article at all. A talk with rubber experts revealed that while some disagreed with Mr. Knudsen, the outstanding majority believe it could be done, and with ease. Said one: We can make a tire that will outlast and outperform a real rubber tire right now. All that is needed is for our factories to make slight changes, in technique. If our supply of raw real rubber were cut off, here is what I think would happen. Factories would be started in construction to manufacture hundreds of thousands of tons of synthetic rubber. While we were waiting to get them in production, we have six months supply of sheet rubber on hand, and for another six months we could operate with mixtures of reclaimed rubber and synthetic rubber, and so, in the 12 or 14 months that it would take to get the new factories built and in operation there would be no lost motion at all, for we have inventories of finished tires that would last about six months. He could say little about the price of such tires, but some experts thought they might be slightly more expensive than rubber tires at first, It was a breathless day in Washuntil the know how had been ington.
