Giving Libyan Army Time To Re-Group
AIR RAID RESPITE CONTINUES
For the second night in succession there was no enemy air ac- tivity over Britain up to a late hour last night, says Reuter.
THE EVIL THAT IS ADOLF
“A lost cause" is the phrase used by the Berlin "Boersen Zeitung" yesterday in commenting on the fall of Bardia.
The newspaper, quoted by the official German news agency, says: "General Bergonzoli is a tired soldier from the Spanish war, and at Bardia his troops fought for a lost cause to hold off the British offensive as long as possible and give the Libyan army time to re-group- a task which they have per- formed against a vast superiority in men and material.
"The defenders
were only overcome by a massed tank ut- tack after they had run out of munitions.

ON VICHY
The Nazis are showing intense irritation against Vichy and have taken steps to indicate their de- sire for a reconstruction of Marshal Petain's Gov- ernment, to include the German candidate.
The proposal for a Triumvirate -to consist of Admirul Darlan, General Huntziger and M. Flan- din -
news of which leaked out come days ago, did not meet with German approval and inspired a German denial.
Since then, the Germans have been complaining over the Paris, Radio about the delay in coming to a decision at Vichy, and yes- terday the German Radio broad- cast a statement that the discus- | sion between the statesmen al Vichy will be concluded to-day
or to-morrow.
The German Radio said that a Government reconstruction will follow.
