GERMAN INVASION ATTEMPT "DOOMED TO FAILURE"
ANY GERMAN attempt to invade Britain
is "doomed to failure" and General Wavell's lightning victories in Libya "are decidedly checking Hitler's plans in the Mediterranean and North Africa.”
These were the two main points made by the Polish Premier and Commander-in-Chief| of the Polish Army, General Sikorski, broad- casting to Poles in Poland from London last] night.

“LUCKY PARTNERS“
By A Special Correspondent
"Welbeck 1721 Calling the 'Air Risk Taxi Squad'!" No gunfire is too heavy or bombs too fre- quent for these toughest of London's cabbies to turn in the job, and few of them have even a tin hat for protection..
He stated: "The Germans can- not undertake any serious action in Africa without the occupation of French territories in the Me- diterranean.
"But they must first take posses- sion of Malta and it is imperative for Hitler to defeat the invincible British Navy in order to German land forces across
sea.
Only Solution. "A brutal and conclusive vasion of Britain remains them the only solution.

"But it's as safe as houses," said tubby Bomber Lewis (the boys all go by the naine of Bomber). "It's got three coats of bombproof paint' on the roof."
Bomber Lewis has lost the use of three fingers through shrapnel.
He Is Shy
One of the oldest members of the squad is Bert Neville, He is nearing sixty. During the Spanish war he was an officer in the In- ternational Brigade.
He is shy and retiring, doesn't drink or smoke, and has risked his life for a half-crown fare more times than he can count.
Then there is Harry Gould. whose journey was cut short the other night by a pile of bricks and debris which covered him and his cab.

Last week all twenty-three cab- bies turned out to take to their destinations a number of soldiers stranded at one of the. stations. And they got only their bare fares.

"The workers give us the squarest deal”
Besides taxi driving, these men run a rescue squad. When there is no reply to Welbeck 1721 they are generally to be found 'ext'n-. guishing incendiaty bombs or, like they did the other week, rescuing people from local bombings. ;
