L. Wendell Fifield, pastor of the Plymouth Church of the Pilgrims, in addressing 750 persons at the Sunday evening international forum sponsored by the church, said, in part: "The drive of the German armies toward the Caucasus has a threefold purpose: to secure much needed oil supplies to make possible the continuance of a prolonged war, to secure the military cooperation of Turkey and to menace the life line of the British Empire by a threat to Suez and North Africa. "The British campaign in Libya is intended as a military offset to this German drive. If the forces of Germany and Italy can be driven from North Africa, then the full British strength can be utilized to resist the German drive for the oil fields and also to protect Suez and give Turkey support if she stands by Britain. "It should be remembered that any developments in Africa bring the war closer to the United States.

German control of North Africa will pave the way for the complete militarization Dakar. This would put the Axis closer to the southern part of South America than is the United States and so bring the military menace of the Third Reich definitely to the Western Hemisphere. "In view of the great military strength of Britain now assembled in North Africa, there is no great probability that Germany will be successful, however." Dr. Fifield described the recapture of Rostov-in-Don by the Soviet forces as "very significant and encouraging." The German attempt to drive through to the oil fields will get increasingly difficult, he said. THE WEATHER Official Weather Report of the U.
