Persistent Paris radio reports of shipping and landing barges passing constantly 'into this invasion area offer the prospect of early action. Turkey's rapid rearming, the return of the Greek government to Cairo and the stringent police measures in Bulgaria to suppress dissents against the Axis point to one soft spot in the Axis underbelly--the Balkans.

Enemy's Weakness The presence seven or eight German divisions as reported by a continental undergroudn source underlines the enemy's wakness in this area. The exposed position of the Italians, whose outer islands. and southern ports have been crumbling under Allied bombs, points to another soft spot. The Italians, most of all, expect the next ordeal to be theirs. Looking up and down this summer battlefront; some London observers anticipate a sea and airborne invasion of the Eegean islands and Crete, Sicily and Sardinia, to clear the path for the invasion.

Wherever an assault takes hold, they believe it will be prosecuted with full vigor. Farther north and west, a large body of hard, finely trained and superbly equipped troops-especially the Canadian assault forces stand poised on the British Isles. Behind in America, a second wave of fresh, new American troops, outfitted with the latest weapons.in the arsenal of democracy, gathering. Otuwardly, the weakest coast in the path of this mighty force is that of Norway, whose patriots never have stopped harassing the Sweden Develops Doubt Next door, Sweden is beginning to develop doubt about her policy of concessions which help the Germans maintain from eight to 10 defense and occupation divisions in Norway. The German naval invasion of RAF Swedish waters and the heaviest mining of the war in the Baltic seem to point to unusual activity.

The potentialities of France and the low countries as invasion points have been mentioned ofGerman and Russian forces meanwhile are sparring for the in openi, the summer offensive. The impression persists in some quarters in London that the Russians will attempt their first summer offensive simultaneously with a British-American attack. In fact, the Russians already are engaged in a limited offensive in the Kuban area, to eliminate one German springboard for a new summer advance.
