War Situation Last Night

(By Kirke L. Simpson. Associated Press War Analysti

Mounting evidence that the developing Anglo-American equeegc play in Africa has already shattered both prongs of Hitler's most ara- bltious "pincer" attack of the war comes from many sources even before full fruits of Allied strategy can be assessed

Certainly the southern jaw of the Axis vise is wrecked. Nothing v

remains of RommePs African Corps in Egypt except its casualties in men and machines. The Sues Canal and the eastern Mediterranean are again secure.

I. I I I I I

ln Russia. the northern Jaw of that made-in-Bcrlin device design- ed to throttle the Soviets into submission and to isolate and immobil- ize Turkey is no less stalled. German retreat before an oil-rushing Russian winter, perhaps soon to be fanged with a massive Soviet of- fensive, seems all but inevitable. Moaoow and Ankara reports indicate it is ‘already in the making.

Significant abatement of the weight and fury of Nasi air attack on Stalingrad and in the Caucasus is noted by the Russians. That German air power ls winging west and south to meet the rising Allied threat across the Mediterranean is the logical explanation. It ls the first definite symptom of relaxation of enemy pressure on Russia llue to the Allied offensive in Africa.

I I I I I I

Turkish observation posts cap that with otherwise unconfirmed but plausible reports that Nazi trllnps from Russia. also are being shuttled westward into the Baltnns to mun a new potential Axis de- fence front fn the south that reaches from the Pyrenees to the Dnr- danellcs, from Spain to Turkey. Nor can Hitler be certain at what mo-

ment Turkey might forsake her neutrality to Join the tightening Allied‘

Mediterranean cordon.

Turkish accounts of heavy Nazi troop movements from Russia to the Balkans are of special interest. If true, they indicate Hitler's ap- prehension over the security of the Greek-Balkan sector of his south- ern front as wcll as over its French or Italian sectors. '

I I I I I I

Ills concern is instilled. Bis most vital war asset, the oil to keep his planes, tanks and war industries going, is in the Balkans Could Allied major strategists freely pick the place at which they could strike the most deadly blow at the Axis, without question the Rumztniun oil flow would take first place in ther calculations.

Interesting event held at Charlottetown Hotel.

The Annual Foxmenls Banquet, which was largely attended, was held last. night at The Char- lottetown. Mr. Lowell Hancock. President of the Prince Edward Island Fox Breeders and Exhib- itors’ Association presided.

Speakers included: Hon. W. H. Dennis, Minister of Agriculture; Hi5 Worship, Mayor B. Roy I-Iol- man; Mr, P. G. Clarke, Summer- side; Licut.-C0l_ D. A MacKln- non, D.S.O.: Mr. D. 0. Stewart, Summerslde; Mr. W. Chester B. McLure; and Mr. W. R. Show, Deputy Minister of Agriculture.

A v~ry fine musical program was presented during the evening. included vocal solos by Mr. Charlie Chamberlain and orchestral sel- ections by Al Blanchard, pianist, Miss Kathleen Hornby, violinist and another violinist.

During the course of the banquet a toast to the King was honeyed.

Hon. Mr. Dennis in a few brief remarks referred to the importance of the fox industry to the prov- ince, especially during the years of depression. The industry, he claimed. curried Prince Edward Island through these dark years. In the future the department would haven kindly feeling toward it, 11c said.

Mayor Holman extended a wel- come to the visiting foxmen. He congratulated the Exhibition As- sociation 11nd especially Co1_ Mac- Killnon for the splendid facilities provided for the show,

He expected foxmen would real- izc the importance of the industry and would see b0 ll. that it would survive the present war. The last sale, when furs showed an increase of Z5 per cent, indicated that fox-men would see to this. He re- ferred briefly to the benefits of the orderly marketing organiza- tlons which foxmen had built up and exprrssed the hope that the Dominion Government, like the Provincial Government. would re- alize the importance of the in- dustry, l-le closed by saying this province had the best foxes in the world. _
