do to save, Mussolini °from being
knocked clean 'out of the war;
(2) .What the Axis'could do to
repair: economic and supply fenc-
es; •-badly 'damaged by .the Brit-'
ish blockade; (3) What; policy.
they would pursue toward Ameri-
ca,, in view of the all-out program
Of aid for Britain; (4) How to
make a killing of Britain :within
the next :four months, before'
'American aid could' put the •''Al-,

likely' that Italy would have to let
the African Empire, victim of • a
masterly ' three -fronted "squeeze

that the Axis would concentrate
