CURRENT COMMENT
THE
destruction of the 'French army, the finest in Europe, followed logically on the disaster at Sedan, when the German forces got over the Meuse by way of the two bridges which were left intact instead of being destroyed.
Then the Albert Conal which. was built as a sort of Maginot Line and not really us a canal, for some Inexplicable reason was crossed by the Germans without any serious obstacle being placed there by the Belgian temy. These initial mis- takes paved the way for the final collapse, which the new generals Commander-in- under the new
General Weygand, could not
Chief, prevent.
The magnitude of the disaster is staggering, it has no parallel in history and from the French point of view, cannot be repaired within this generation.
Amid the ghastly horror and devastation, against tremendously superior odds in the air and in field tanks, the French soldiers layo
ave fought as they never fought before.
Without sleep, without food, they have borne the physicst strain un- flinchingly.
Their mental suffering, too, has been severe, not because of the ever-present bomb and shell and the menace of death, but because of the knowledge that wives and children, mothers and sisters were the Innocent victims of this terrible invasion,
Finally, they suffer because their beloved country with its priceless treasures is at the mercy of an invader who could neither create
couch beauty. nor appreciate such

There must be an end to this evil for they are evil things we aro lighting against and the human ruce cannot continue to live anald such horrors,
The alleged terms which first saw the light In Italian papers and which itler and Mussolini Are
said to have offered France would, It was thought, prove too onerous, though there wits considerable skill in drafting them. The Idea was to show how generous these leaders could be themselves and to their friends at the expense of the torn body of France. Over the vesture have they already cast their, lots.
Mussolini, the Puppet
MUSSOLINI is still with- out that much needed proof of the valour and skill of his forces.
It will be tragic for Il Duce if the war passes and his armies cannot get the opportunity of wiping out Caporetto from which the French

It has been said...or perhaps. Mussolini has said of himself. that he always gets the worst. of any deal. It is certain that Hitler wht see to it that he will not get the best of this one.
The Chinese have a saying that Just as there cannot be two suns In the sky so there cannot be
two equally strong men on earth.
One must submit to the other. As Mussolini has not the power behind him which his confrere has, I inevitable that his sun will
Her Soul Will Remain
The French Government under Petain, which claims to represent the nation, is striv- ing for an honourable peace but such a word is not in Hitler's vocabulary.
Chivalry is dead and buried. Grim starkt realism takes its place-- pity there is none, respect for French culture is gone.
France is to be stripped bare and her naked body is to be exposed to the eyes of the profane world, after polution and outrage. France. however, has not agreed-not yet.

may wring necessity material concessions from her, but not her soul,
That wonderful, vital spontane- ous spirit which, through its too- mendous creative power, has en- riched the world so much must not be lost. We cannot afford to lose France and set up either Germany or modern Italy in its place. If we do then we must bid farewell to progress and to civilisation.
Tremendous issues are being de cided at this moment in Europe. It is hoped that France, like Hol- land, Czecho-Slovakia, Poland Norway and Belgium, each of which has formed a government in London, will fight on and will con- Binue to fight side by side with the British Empire until such times as thele Independence is restored, These nations cannot remain en- Bluved.

At the same time she is doing overything within her power to ald Britain in the tremendous tnak immediately before her.

The British Flect would re- Jolce Uf the Ilallan flect came out from lis base, but it is not likely
to do so.
The Italians prefer the submarbie, the constal inator boat and the bomber us these weapons suit their mentality.
The Germans like the security of numbers when attacking, but the Italian is just as likely to get into a panic and retreat as to score u victory when in a large mass.
It is significant that he has launched no attack yet against the French Army on his fronter.
It is said that the Germans have put Italian soldiers into the Siegfried line. but thai obviously is not a compliment.
Mussolini is very much the junior partner in this campaign, and has made Italy merely a intellite Germany.

Britain's Position
"THE position at tae mo- ment is that the British Empire is at war now with Germany and Italy.
The whole of the mainland of Europe is dominated by the military forces of Germany and Italy, while the oceans are controlled by British Navy.

The British Commonwealth is now fighting for the maintenance of this position. Germany is seck- Ing to destroy it.
dim- It would appear to be as cult for Germany to dislodge Bri-. tain from the reas as it would be for us to drive the military forces of Germany from Europe. The com- mon ground is the air.
We are concerned about the fato the of the French Navy, and of Air Force. It is obvious that the fighting lenders of France will try to co-operate with the British with
these arms.
Anything which lessens the strik- ing force of Britain and strengthens that of the enemy, delays the pus- sibility of restoration of France as a first-class power.
The terms on which we sup ported France are that neither will conclude a realy of peace without the consent of the other. According to the alllance the French Air Force and Navy must link up their fortunes with those of Great Britain.
Doubtless Germany will bring pressure to bear on France to pre- vent this and will either threaten the severest reprisals if it is nut done, or perhaps make concessions the to induce Petain to agree to demand.
On the other hand, the French Navy may declare self, in spite of everything, independent of Petain and refuse to surrender its power. That is a possibility.
The French navy cannot be got at directly by the Germans or the believe Italians and it is hard to
that the French would throw away their last chance of survival, as a nation.
