(By Reuter's Special Correspondent)

GIBRALTAR IS VERY much a going con- cern and its defences are daily becoming more formidable. The lessons of Crete have been carefully considered and although con- ditions are very different every effort has been made to ensure that similar action here would not meet with similar success.

The "Rock's" peculiarities would make a landing of paratrooops and troop-carrying 'planes very difficult, yet every place where such landings might be attempted can be subjected to withering fire.

Attack by E-boats would re- ceive as devastating a reply. as the recent attempt on Malta.

Chances Of Attack

The naval and air forces stationed at Gibraltar probably will have even more to do and the chances of an attack on Gibraltar will be increased.

Casablanca, for example, is within easy flying distance of the "key to the Mediterranean."

SeTM

Contrary to Axis claims that Gibraltar has already been verely damaged and its use as a base consequently restricted, signs of enemy attack are virtually non- existent.

Damage Negligible

One has to search hard to find three or four houses hit by bombs last year and damage is negligible.

German, and Italian claims to have carried out heavy raids are nonsense. No German bombs have ever fallén on Gibraltar and. the nearest the Italians got this year was at the Spanish town of La Linea, where men, women and children ware killed-Reuter.
