THE JEWISH NEWS Page Four LU irE Jewish Army. Could Blast Axis World Strategy Van Paassen "Stop Hitler in the Middle East'", Writer Pleads; World's Future Rests On Battles of India, Palestine, He Warns By PIERRE van PAASSEN 'A FTER more than 30 months of war, the grand strategy of Axis is nearing its climax. Its aim of bringing about a juncture of the armed forces of Ger- many and Japan is now within the realm of possibility. Hitler is indeed poised to strike towards the Causacus, but his legions are also concentrated on the Black Sea, on the Aegean shores and on the ' islands of Crete and Rhodes, for an invasion of Syria and Pales- tine. If Hitler lands in Syria he has but a short overland route to the Persian Gulf, where the Japanese will try to meet him with naval, aerial and even land forces. And if that contact should be estab- ished, the Axis will have forged a link which will be extremely difficult to break. Should this un- precedented global strategy suc- ceed, our allies, China and Rus- sia, would be virtually isolated and beyond effective help from us. WillHonorAtithor at Dinner Sunday PLAN AIMED AT BRITAIN The projected Nazi-Nipponese reunion in the Near East is that great intercontinental pincer movement which is intended to snip off vital parts of Britain's mighty empire. and to strip Brit- ain of her Eastern possessions. But can Berlin and Tokyo do this? Let us see: In order to succeed, Hitler will have to overcome first of all the resistance of the herioic Red Army, which is barring his way to the Caucasus and to Persia. Should he hurdle this first ob- stacle. he would then be confront- ed with whatever forces can still be mobilized in the Near East. Japan, on the other hand, would have to subjugate India first, because Japan cannot vent- ure into the Middle East with the military threat of a free India in the rear.

This boldly conceived Axis strategy, on the success of which Hitler banks for a speedy and victorious conclusion of the war, is not a fantastic recently-de- veloped plan. It is Hitler's origi- nal idea, and strictly in conform- ity with the pattern for world conquest worked out years ago under the heading of "Reunion in the Near East." As a matter of fact. I described it in detail in a number of magazine articles al- most two years ago. No, it is not, I believe, an ex- aggerattnn to say that the out- come of the battles of India and Jerusalem will decide whether we must go on fighting a long- drawn-out war or whether the Axis is doomed to an early col- lapse.
