Mr. Boyd said that he did not think it would affect the British blockade very much although it would be more difficult seeing that the British Fleet will have to pré-] vent goods from entering French. ports and patrol a coastline of 6.000 miles from Northern Norway to Southern Spain.
Germany would not get any, food from France because France had always been just self-supporting though she may get some iron ore from Lorraine, but once her sup- plies of petrol ran out she would And it very difficult to obtain any in France.

"What about' the strategic con- sequences of the collapse of France?" asked Mr. Weymouth.
"They are serious enough for ourselves," replied Mr. Boyd, "The occupation of France com- pletes a semi-circle around us and she can attack us from many points of the compass.
"We present a half-enclosed target whilst Germany presents a more distant target because she is sa scattered. She can thus harass us from many bases." The loss of France must affect the Mediter- ranean to our disadvantage. A greet deal will depend on whether Colonial France and the French Fleet will follow the lead given them by General de Gaulle.

Offensive Spirit Is Just
What People Want
LONDON, June 27 (Reater) The Times, commenting in on the raid over enemy coastlines says that "the point is that this incident shows an offensive spirit which is ex- actly what the public wants. It shows that we neither need not desire merely to await attack, but are ready and able to strike at enemy-occupied territory whenever the opportunity offers, or can be made."
