Grave as it was, the news did
not mean necessarily that, the
British line had been crumpled.
It, had been hinted thut (ten.
Neil M. Ritchie, commanding the
British 8th army, might elect
to make his big stand in Egypt,
to the east of the hurriedly or-
ganized frontier line
Britain’s defense in western
Egypt is based on Marsa Matruh.
14<) miles east of the frontier, a
railroad terminus to which men. |
guns and planes may be moved
quickly in mass.
Thus as Rommel’s advance j
from now on would lengthen j
and weaken his communica-
tions, Britain’s would become
stronger.
But Rommel, pressing his ar-
ms- relentlessly and straining
men and machines in hope of
breaking the 8th army before
it could be reorganized and re-
inforced after the Tobruk de-
feat, evidently was confident
that he could continue.
Today's communique indi-
cated, in its claim of heavy
losses inflicted on the enemy
by British mobile forces,
that Ritchie was withdraw-
ing ills main body to a se-
lected line, where it would
meet reinforcements, while
strong tank columns hacked
at the enemy in the desert,
seeking to make it difficult
for units to mass.
Marsa Matruh, where the big
British stand may be made,
has long been regarded as pro-
bably the best defensive posi-
tion not only east of the front-
ier, but in the entire 500-mile
stretch to El Agreila, in the
Benghazi area of Libya.
Axis forces had not penetra-
ted as far as Sidi Barrani since
the Italians got there in Decern
tier. 1040. when the British
withdrew before them to or-
ganize for their offensive which
drove the Italians back to Ben-
ghazi and broke their Field Mar-
shal Rodolfo Graziani.
Now it seemed evident that
Rommel was making his .supre-
me drive in Egypt, hoping that
the British could not regroup
after their retreat from Libya.
Allied hope was pinned in
the air force, now strength-
ened by United States army
air corps Consolidated B-24
four-motored bombers, and
their intensifying attacks on
enemy concentrations, com-
munication lines and shipp-
ing.
The planes are now handicap-
ped, however, by the British
withdrawal because they are
compelled to use bases farther
to the east, and the enemy air
force is correspondingly mov-
ing eastward.
It was indicated that Ritchie
had ordered his new withdraw-
al because after his losses in
Libya and at Tobruk he did not
have the strength at the front-
ier for a fight against the pow-
er which the Germans evidently
ossessed.
To have stood at the frontier
he would have risked disaster in
_ flanking movement. He was
fighting for tint*
