B.C. lEttab iihed 34 Vesr of generals. General Sir Hubert Gough, who commanded the Fifth Army In France in the last war, says two of Britain's best generals are walking the streets and that promising Junior officers are sacked by their seniors for trifling mistakes. Other commentators went to know why Egypt is not In the war; why dive bombers had not been obtained from the United States, though ordered on contract two years ago; wny heavy bombers could not have been sent In greater numbers; why Fremier Churchill was so confident a few weeks ago when he induced King George to dispatch an optimistic mesags to troops; why no real attempt has been made to enlist Arabs on the Eritish side in Middle East; why Tobruk had not been kept in full defensive condition; why British generals have net yet understood the vast changes In tactics that lightning mechanized war has brought about, in a short flood of interrogations bayed on anger and curiosity as to why it all happened. Mr.

Churchill, when he faces Parliament on his return, will have a difficult job to appease the angry and resentful House. Already the Labor press tells him the nation wants "brass tacks" and not "oratorical virtuosity." Coldwell Fears "Monopoly Of Public Opinion" OTTAWA, June 26. A number of newspapers are entering the radio field and finding; it more profitable than publishing, M. J. Cold well, C.C.F.

House leader, told the House of Commons radio committee Wednesday. He had been so informed by a newspaper pub lisher. "This is a vefy unhealthy situa tion and means r.ews is more and more under the control of a few organizations," Mr. Coldwell said. The condition was leading to a "monopoly of public opinion." The C.C.F.

leader suggested that the success of facsimile broadcasting, which would be brought In along with television, would seriously injure newspapers. Imagine," he said, "that is why newspapers are trying to get hold of radio Long Way Off Dr. Augustin Frigon, assistant general manager of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, said that television was a long way off for Canada. Costs were prohibitive for present introduction. Dr.

Frigon, questioned by Mr. Coldwell, stated that there are 26 radio stations In Canada In which newspapers are Interested. Eleven of these are directly owned by newspapers and In 15 there is indirect Interest or association by newspapers. To further questions, he replied that new wave lengths made available in recent years had not been given to any newspaper owned radio stations. Control By Few Rev.

E. G. Hansell. (Macleod) saw a danger of one business obtaining too much control over radio and using it in its own interest. Dr.

Frigon said eight stations are operated by the firm of Taylor, Pearson and Carson of Calgary. R. H. Thomson of North Bay operated seven stations and would open another in a few weeks. The Sifton organization owned two stations which were operated by Taylor, Pearson and Carbon.

Mr. Hansell said he thought private stations were an asset to Canada. While he was opposed to a monopoly of private stations he thought a government iflonopoiy would be equally bad. Criticizes Types Mr. Coldwell expressed criticism of some types of radio advertising.

"We get thoroughly sick of hearing of the filthy condition of the Canadian people," he said. Dr. Frigon said all medicine advertising was approved by National Health department officials. In matters of taste there was wide difference of opinion. Dr.

Frigon said payments by the C.B.C. to private stations for commercial business handled by the C.B.C. were estimated at $635. bj" for the year ending March 31. 1942.

THE WINNIPEG TRIBUNE PAGE Experts Study British Chances In Egypt Mid East's Fate Rests With Pending Battle By A.

C. CUMMINGS From The Trlbun London Bureau Copyright by The Southam Co. Ltd.1 ON DON, June 26 A battle that may settle the fate of. Egypt and Britain's control of the Suez canal is pending. Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, taking Immense risks, gambles on speed to win victory while be has tank superiority.

He is locked in preliminary battle only 200 miles from the great naval base of Alexandria. What are the British armies' chances against the Invaders? Here is the experts' opinion so far as it can be disclosed without giving Information to the enemy: Behind "The Auk" First, while Rommel may have 500 tanks, he has to bring supplies for them and his whole army hundreds of miles across the burning waterless desert. Tobruk is as yet useless to him as a supply port. Next, although General Sir Claude Auchinleck's inferiority in armored fighting vehicles cannot readily be made good he has air superiority, he can call for reinforcements from the 9th Army in Svria the Nazis say these are now on the way and, fighting on well chosen defense lines, he has all Egypt behind him to give him what he needs for the battle. Iraq, too, can be laid under contribution for men and machines and it Is already announced In Parliament that reinforcements are on the way from Britain, though these may be too late to be useful.

Ort the other hand, Rommel Is a general of genius. He has not fought tank with tank, but like the Russians, who made blitzkriegs impossible, he has made the most skilful use of the anti tank gun. This gun, according to some military critics here, was used first in Spain five years ago but the War 0MW MM i PROLONGS THE LIFE OF YOUR BURROUGHS MACHINES Burroughs' own factory trained, factory controlled, salaried men inspect, lubricate and adjust Burroughs machines; make repairs and replacements with genuine Burroughs parts.

Office and the Cairo Command seem to have been taken by sur prise by it Real Peril Thus there is real peril to Egypt at the moment danger heightened by the fact that the Nazjs have big reserves of troops in Crete and Greece ready for airborne attack on the Nile delta, on the Canal, and even upper Egypt. However, it is worth emphasizing Prime Mir isler Churchill's reported view that he hoped Egypt would be held.

It is undoubtedly In danger but it is danger that, with skilful use of defending armies and good generalship, can be averted. Such is the opinion in London obtained from best informed sources. Meanwhile, a wordy battle still rages over the need for reforms In the army and In the selection 4 Harrops In Service SERIAL STORY CARIBBEAN CRISIS BY EATON K. GOLDTHWAITE THE STORY After six years on a little Dutch island in the Caribbean, Bill Talcott is to be relieved of his branoh manage. job with a chemical firm and join tne Army.

His successor, Halsey arrives with an auditor who Im mediately charges Bill with $158, 000 sho tage In his accounts. Bill Innocent, is furious. That evening June Paterson, cousin of Bill's college room mate, goes for a walk with Halsey, whom she has met on the boat. Bill warns her it is not safe, but stays behind with a stranger named McDowell. CHAPTER III fVALCOTT was at the door when a.

MacDowell movpd KiirtHonlv blocking his path. "Let 'em' the mustached one grunted. If I know my women, that one can take care of herself." He stood tensed, glaring down. "You may be a very smart man where you come from. Mr.

Mac Dowell, but you don't know Abas Island!" MacDowell shrugged. "Whv all the ruckus? She got Halsey with her. And believe me, he's the kind that don't stare so easy. Or maybe," MacDowell sucked at his teeth, grinned knowingly, said, "Maybe you go for her yourself huh?" Bill Ignored the thrust, stepped back and clapped his hands. In immediate response a shadow loomed from thp darkness of the terrace behind MacDowell and the mustached one turned defensively.

Bill said quietly, "Buckra white man and missy go out against my orders. Make Sebasticn follow them." The black boy nodded, said, "Yes, baas," and disappeared into the night. MacDowell exhaled with relief, wiped sweat from his face, bit off the end of a cigar and remained in place before the door. "What is this?" he drawled. "Mean to tell me nobody can take a walk around here?" "You may take all the walks you like.

It so happens that there are several hundred blacks on the I island, and they're bad sometimes.1 Miss Paterson will be the first white woman that some of them have ever seen. I wouldn't care to be responsible for what might happen." MacDowell's face became gray and the unlighted cigar sagged. "Good Lord, man, why didn't you tell us before? If I'd known it was like that, I wouldn't've stopped you!" I Talcott smiled Irily. "I presume you were afraid I might prevent Halsey from telling Miss Paterson something I wouldn't want her to hear." "Maybe," MacDowell hpdged. He found a match, popped it into flame and dragged on the cigar, "Who's this guy Sebastien that! you sent after them?" I overseer.

He's half COPVWISHT. IV4X. MSA SERVICE. INC. Under usual conditions the men will obey him." "Unrier usunl conditions" Mac Dowell frowned and glanced un easily at the terrace.

"Suppose we ought to follow them?" Talcott didn't answer. Indicating a chair he said, "Sit down. It's time you and I had a little talk. In my correspondence with Federal Chemical, Halsey and the auditor are accounted for. Your name was never mentioned.

I want to know who you ale, and your purpose on Abas Island." The directness of the attack caught the mustached one completely off guard. His eyes rounded, his facial muscles sagged and his mouth made an O. ''You mean," he said, wetting his lips, "you don't know who I am?" Talcott leaned forward until his calloused blg knuckeld hand rested on the other's knee. "You are not an employe of Federal Chemical and you're not an auditor. I might have thought you were a traveling companion, but I doubt if Halsey and Struthers are seek ing company just now.

So what is your connection?" Sweat showed above the mustached one's collar and the cigar revolved In his mouth. His face. for a moment, became even greyer. And then, unexpectedly, he Inughed. "Thai's pretty good!" he chuckled.

"You claimin' you don't know why I'm here. For a minute you had me goin'." Startling as it was, the change of front served only to increase Bill Talcott's cold wrath. "I doubt if it has occurred to you," he said icily, "that this frameup of the missing vouchers is as weak as By merely lifting a finger I could have the lot of you tossed in jail. Have you ever seen one of our tropiiul jails. Mr.

Mac the sun bolts down end there are rats and scorpions Dowell? They have r.o roofs, and festive?" Threatening are you?" Ugly red crept through the grey of MacDowell's cheeks. "And I thought you looked like a decent kind of guy. Why, you cheap crook!" "Be careful how. you talk," Tal cott said calmly. "It happens that ior every one of vouchers there are two facsimiles.

One Is in the possession of the steamship lines that carried the nitrates, the other with the Netherlands government official who collects a tax on every pound taken from the island. The remittances have all been made to the company and the bank In Willemstad has a com plete record." Bill Talcott leaned forward and his long fingers closed in a steel like grip on MacDowell's knee. "You and your friends haven't a leg to stand on. Now, who are you and what is jour game?" Leggo my knee!" MacDowell yelled. Bill Talcott's strong fingers released with a disdainful movement and the mustached one rubbed' vigorously.

The words had brought to his face a mixture of doubt and surprise, and Talcott followed his opening swiftly. "If Halsey pocketed those vouchers thinking he could force me to remain here, he'd better devote some of his time to studying Federal Chemical procedure. Only he end Struthers had access to those records and one of them must be the, thief. Now, where do you come in?" MacDowell stopped rubbing his knee. Plainly, he was annoyed.

Some deep sealed conviction of his was being rudely shaken. His eyes clouded and the burned out cigar sagged. As if weighing Talcott rgainst some mental standard he sat. Then, slowly, his hand moved lo his pocket. It came away, bearing not identification papers, but a wicked, snub nosed pistol.

"You claim Halsey and Struthers rigged a game on you?" he grunted. "That's what they all say. I had you sized up for a decent sort or guy until you started to use threats. If you're Innocent and got something to prove it like you say, I don't see what you're worryin' about. As for you not knowin' why I'm here, that's a laugh.

He might have guessed the man's identity.

If indeed he was the victim of a plot, the locus of origin was now swiftly removed from Abas Island; thrust back 1600 miles to the leather chaired offices of Federal Chemical Itself. But why? Had Old Man Winters gone crazy with war worries? or was the "new secretary attempting something more than merely holding her job? Was she in a conspiracy to take Federal Chemical for better than Or was a bigger game, one which Talcott aim Halsey and Struthers and even Old Man Winters himself were liny unwitting pieces, relentlessly under way? 1 I 2Tribune fox a moviETonElr7 news (fr Sty pfattfattJi Wtibum DAILY MAIL SERVICE To Other Points Not Listed or to the Nearest Post Office of tiliilld. "Who hired jou?" Talcott de manded. MacDowell hesitated, hefting the revolver. His eyes masked his thoughts now, the veiled, cunning eyes of the paid manhunter facing his quarry.

To MacDowell it didn't matter whether Talcott was guilty or not; he was doing a job for which he was being paid. His orders were to bring Talcott back if the auditor proved a shortage.
