NAZIS FAR FROM BEING MASTERS OF FRANCE

Situation Grave But Britons Take The Long View

LONDON, June 17.(Renter)-In spite of the gravity of the -hour the British press and public unite in jaking a long view. and it is felt that the frenzy of the German effort müst exhaust itself before the pliing-up of the Aliled resources,

An observer says that the capture of parts of Paris and Versailles still leaves the Germans far from being masters of France or the dictators of the conquerors of peace.

The Allies have their Empires behind them as never before.

Italian tragedy, the Catholic Weekly Tablet says, that Italiens used to be against France and Britain but they were not cons- dered permanent partners in any

OLD LESSON

The Tablet recalis a sneer by one Italian paper that these are nb times for the people to be obsessed by moral pre-occupation: It is an old lesson of history that man cannot put aside moral issues without mourring penalty sooner or later, the Tablet continues.

MORE USEFUL WORK The Sunday Express says

that it is folly at a time like this that med, who are concrete-mixers and steel workers should be employed in building a bridge across the Thames, or extending the railway Vin Ba The men should be taken away from this sort of work and the State..
