BRITISH SEA POWER
BEARING ON RECAPTURE OF BERBERA. MUSSOLINI’S FATAL BLUNDER. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY. March 18. Discussing the recapture of Berbera experts underline the supreme importance of sea power in this as in other recent operations. Without sea power I the capture of this port would have I been impossible. The opinion is expressed that Mussolini was unwise in attempting to build an empire without adequate naval strength. The British with such sea command can make far more use of Berbera than the Italians. ' The recapture further means that such forces as remain between the western frontier and the coast would be bottled up by an advance- from Berbera westward by way of Hargeisa in view of the recent swift advance from Mogadishu northwards to Daghabur.
