Analyst Predicts Drive Thru Italy
Predicting that the allies will invade Germany by way of the Mediterranean sea, Italy, France, and Czechoslovakia, Dr. A. Th. Polyzoides, commentator and news analyst, Saturday in El Centro charted the course he believes the victorious allies will follow in the next phases of World War No. 2.
He declared this would be the most accessible route into Germany when the allies are ready.
In the Pacific theater of war, Polyzoides said, the United States is keeping the necessary islands to maintain an open route to Japan for the time when attack is planned.
"In spite of the fact that the axis now has twice as many factories producing war materials as we have and twice as many skilled workmen," Dr. Polyzoides said, "next year we probably will have a superior air force to Germany and will have the advantage over Germany in producing war materials."
Japan may have 98 per cent of the rubber supply and tremendous advantages in other supplies at present, he said, but losses of planes and ships are fatal because Japan has not the factories or the shipyards to produce what is needed.
By use of maps, the speaker showed how the center of world trade will swing to the Orient after the war leaves Europe without resources and with little ability to buy.
Polyzoides spoke at a teachers institute at Central Union High school in El Centro.
