‘y’HE date on which this issue is being
prepared marks a crisis and, we
hope, a climax, in the war. As sub-
scribers in Britain take their copies from
their envelope or wrapper we are dis-
turbed. We are angry about Singapore,
about Libya, about the escape after so
much bombing of the German warships
Scharnhorst, Gneisenau and Prince
Eugen: they escaped at Brest...”

“...another thrust. Much will
depend on events on the Eastern front
while winter continues. It is believed that
he has had to throw in some contingents
reserved for the Spring campaign to check
the Russian progress, and if our Allies
are able to increase their pressure things
may happen. But it would be unwise to
count on that.
Hitler’s obvious objective is oil. The
efforts he has made to support Rommel
in Libya are eloquent as to his intentions.
His eyes have always been on the
Caucasus and on Iran and Iraq. The
occupation of one of these regions would
mean that he would be in possession of
sufficient fuel to maintain a mechanised
war indefinitely. If he hopes to strike at
Asia Minor direct through Turkey it
would clearly be an immense advantage
to him to have Rommel’s force still in
being as a potential threat to Egypt.
Many Possibilities
But there are several alternatives. He
might for instance make a second attempt
to reach the Caucasus, endeavouring in
the meantime to contain the rest of the...”

were invented to enable the individual to
exchange his products or services for
such tokens, which, in turn, represented
a certain amount of energy expended and
could, in turn, be exchanged for other
goods and services at their face value.
As time passed, one community started
exchanging with another community and
the tokens were accepted over larger
areas which in turn formed themselves
into groups. One of the first of such
groups were the Sumerians, who lived in
Southern Iraq. Other groups were
formed with the same customs, manners
and tokens, which turned into what we
know as countries.
These countries which each had their
tokens, or, as we now call them, cur-
rencies, wished, in due course, to extend
their barter over their own boundaries,
because they found there were goods and
services they could obtain from their
neighbours which they could not, in
many cases, produce themselves, or
which needed a good deal more energy
to produce in their own country, for the...”
