The battle of France and Poland
should have been in the nature of

war machine, But Hitler paused
at the channel last summer and is
still pausing!

England there came g pause that
is difficult to éxplain. The flight
of the British from Dunkerque
shewed conclusively that terrorism

destroy the entire British army but
instead thousands and thousands
