They have undertaken by Stalin's orders the task of carrying on anti- French and anti-British propaganda among the Czech people.

This is only one instance of the Nazi-Soviet carefully co-ordinated propaganda and espionage organi sation which is already working in many countries.

The effect of this work can be felt even in London, where many Czech Communists who were admitted to this country as refugees have with- drawn their earlier offers to volunteer for the Czech Legion.

He thought it quite likely that the present situation lles under the head- ing of Eventuality No. 1. Both the Alites and their intended victims must have given thought to the use. of parachute troops and troop planes designed to selze positions behind the main defences generally to create confusion. They had also thought of the bombing of communications.

So far, he said, these have, con- stituted the main feature of the war, but the news so far did not suggest that there have been any of the masá infantry assaults of the last war.

German Intentions

The intention of the German Com- mand seemed to be to weaken the framework of, defence to the greatest possible extent.

The Germans had not yet put forth any tremendous efforts except in the air.

Their hands were free to make

alterations, in their plans. So while all this looks like
