Interpreting The War News By KIRKE L. SIMPSON—Auociated Preu Staff Writer Weather and other portents might seem to make a British offensive in Libya a logical move, but the British High Command may delay such an operation until it can see how the struggle on tha Southern flank of the Nazi-Russian battle line is turning out A cryptic bulletin from Hitler headquarters announces that the German offensive in Russia is "developing into an operation of the greatest extent" This probably refer! principally to the Naii surge acTOii the lower Dnieper. Neither the liege of Leningrad, the Nazi- clilmed victories South of Lake 11- men, nor attempts to encircle Kiev tepresent strategic moves ot first magnitude. Only swift German conquest of the Donets River basin. Eastward of the great bend of the Dnieper, and the lower reaches of the Don in the vicinity of Rostov offen Hitler any hope of a decisive stroke. Once utrlde the pine line from the Raku oil fields at Rostov, he would have cut a Russian Jugular vein. Just what ii happening Eastward from Dnieper bridgeheads neither aide hai revealed, it ii beyond question, however, that Moicow is fully alive to the critical nature of this prime Nazi offensive. It goes without saying, also, that developments in Inn, itrengthening Anglo-Ruuian military contact! and lupply routei. • re keyed to that German attack, and that the Russian! hive masted picked armies to meet the onslaught. Thit being the case, even though sound military reasons urge a British offensive in the Western desert it may await developments in the Ukraine. Whatever the force of the British and imperial troopi now mustered in Egypt under the new British commander there. Gen Sir Claude Auchinleck. much of It might be needed In defence of the Baku oil fields, and the back door to India via Iran. London guesses that the Germani, in the wake of the bloody defeat they lay they inflicted on Russian counter attacki South of Lake Ilmen, are attempting a new thrust to Bojogoe Junction of the main Leningrad-Moscow railroad. However, this does not leem likely.
