Last week, in the hour of Axis victory, the two dictators, with their Pooh-Bahs and generals, doubtless talked of new worlds to conquer: the Near East and Africa lay before them. With the fall of Crete and the alignment of France with Germany, the Mediterranean had become no longer safe for Great Britain. But it was a hollow hour for Benito Mussolini.

But it appeared last week that the Germans might be able to supply their forces in Iraq through Turkey.

The Germans doubtless counted in much Greek and Yugoslav shipping which was either caught in harbor or bombed while evacuating civilians...
