If Hit er attempts an immediate attack on illls country, he will find an elaborate defence system which qualified sources say linn withstand any blow Germany makes againstit.

Hitler has now three choices open to him. He can attempt to invade this country with military force. He can start an air Blitzkrieg over Britain aimed particularlv c- stroving the industrial life and port facilities. and to disorganize the civilian population. or he can post- pone his military and nir offensives while reorganizing Europe political- ly. economically and financially un- (ilgrlthe control of Germany and

As part of ihi: latter proposition, Hitler might bring Spain into the war 0n his side for a prelimjgnri’ attack 0n Gibraltar to relieve the effectiveness of the blockade in the Mmiterrancan.

Whatever plan Hitler chooses, Britain has a renlv all ready for him ivilh 1,500,000 of t‘*e regular army and another 1.000.000 home defence volunteers, with n fleet which still rules the seas. and an air force winch. man for man. and machine foiitmachine, has proved its superi- or y.

Hitler Makes Reference To Canadaln-Speech

Here are the passages:

i. "From Britain 1 now hear only a single cry. the cry not of the people, but of the politicians, that the war must go on. I do not know willether these politicians already have a correct idea of what the con- tinuation of this struggle will be like. They do, it is true, declare they will carry on the war, and that

a even if G-reat Britain should perish,

they would carry on from Canada. I can hardly believe that they mean by this that the people of Britain are to go to Canada. Presumably o y those ntlemen interested in the continua ion of their war will o there. ‘Iihe people, I am afraid w 11 have to remain in Britain, and the people in London will certainly re- gard the war with oihereyes than their so-oallod leaders in Canada."
