The destruction of the French fleet st Toulon ls now estimated as having no effect on the balance of world naval power. Should that fleet never have been destroyed, or should shy part of it not have been destroyed, it wmild not have deprived the United Nations of I strength greater than that of the entire Axis naval power. _ _ "

Roughly, the United Nations heve from to n regular aircraft carriers, n against the 's 3 to 5. The United Nations have 33 to 39 battle- illips, against the Axis I8 to 23. In cruisers, the Allies have from IO! to 125, end the Axis 4o to 64. In destroyers, the Allies have from 515 to 610, but the Axis show onll from 13o to 22o. The only weakness in the llied strength is in sulnrlariiles, and that weakness is grave without being vital. The Allies are estimated m have from 275 to 47o submarines, but the Axis probably have from 360 to 58o:

Polish peasants llnvc a charming legend w th which they explain the hich regard in which the lark is he d in their country. According to their trnctltion when Adam was ilriven lfltli Eden he went to live on a great. barren plain, such as that which fomls the central terri- tory of Poland. He was very un- happy, and of all the lovely things he lost when he left the Garden of Eden. it was the song of the birds that he missed the most. There- fore, to colnlort him God created the lark. Even since that day the lark has been Poland's favourite bird and it ls l-leld tn a. respect that approaches reverence Iburist-s travelling through the Polish coun- tryside" unjamiliar with the tradi- tion are surprised to sea little patches of grain left" for no appar- ent reason, in the harvested fields.
