In these circumstances, it is not surprising that the Turks have final- ly entered into an agreement of limited scope with Germany, It is very much to their credit that they resiated German pressure to break their commitments with Great Bri toin or to agree to any infraction of Turkish sovereign rights, such allowing German troops the right of passage through Turkey.

Loss Of Crete Debated In Lords

from being, won but it certainly is not win for Hiller.
The distinguished former Chief of the Air Force, Lord Trenchard, said that there was much misunderstand- ing regarding the recent air opern- tions.
If more aerodromes had been built have In Crete, they would never survived the large-scale bombing
tingks which the Germans could being against them. Whether it was possible ever to accumulate enough equipment adequately to defend aerodromes in Greece and Crete was a point which only those with full knowledge could answer
fael!lfies at the disposal of the
Germans
for bringing up planes and supplies were incomparably superior to the British.
Lord Trenchard said that one of the reasons for the evacuation of Crete was that we could not get reserves of troops in the battle zone.
Question of Reserves
"You cannot keep your reserve troops in the battle zone. For this purpose of having reserves in depth,
an Air Force reserve of far greater than 100 per cent. Is reeded. There will always be a large number of reserves for the Middle Bust locked up in transit along the lines of com- Inunication,"
Lord Trenchard declared that the defence

Field Marshal Lord Milne made a

German Losses
Lord Moyne, leader of the House. replying to the debale for the Gov ernment, refuted the "Nazi lie" thot -the whole-force-of-the German attack
Crete was borne on'
by Anzac troops, British troops in the opera- tion in this area had been equal in number
slightly more than equal in casualties.
The number of German dend in Crete was four times as many as the British and exceeded the total of British losses in killed, wounded and missing.
.
We lost relatively little military material whereas we destroyed at least 430 of the custllest German types of planes and blunted the teeth
of the Luftwaffe.
Co-operation with the Army, will not be inferior to that of the Germans when our system of air support is complete.

For British Interests

LONDON, June 18 (Reuter).-An official tribute to the work of Sir Frederick Maze, Inspector General of the Chinese Maritime Customs, was paid in the House of Commons follow- ing a question about the control of the Customs in occupied
areas of China.
Mr Anthony Eden, Foreign Minis- ter, pointed cut that the Inspector General continues to administer the Customs Service throughout China, including a marine depart- ment which deals with lighthouses
ail
and harbour services, but he has to take into consideration, the require- ments of the occupying Power in the occupied areas.
Sir Alfred Knox asked whether it was realised that Sir Frederick was putting up a singlehanded light for British interests in the Far East and asked whether the Foreign Secretary would do everything possible to help
him.
