The British announced their South African fighters had
driven a twin drive (1) into Somaliland and captured Chis-
imaio (2) in a thrust toward Mogadiscio (3) and Illig (4).
The British apparently sought to move up the Indian ocean
coast in a “ladder” attack, with two parallel roads (shown)
as uprights, connected by a network of rung-iike cross roads.
Short arrows indicate other British drives being pressed
against Italian East Africa. :

through Spain, against Suez
through the Balkans and Turkey,
against Greece through Yugoslav-

apore and the Dutch East Indies
through the offices of the Japanese.
The question immediately arises
as to the practicability of such
widespread operations if a quick
victory is the aim Last night I
