FULL REPORT

REPORT OF PRIME MINISTER'S SPEECH BRITISH NAVY WILL BEAT ANY NAZI INVASION, SAYS MR. CHURCHILL

LONDON, JUNE 18 (REUTER)—THE HOUSE OF COMMONS WAS CROWDED THIS AFTERNOON BY THOSE WHO WISHED TO HEAR MR. WINSTON CHURCHILL MAKE WHAT WAS REGARDED AS THE MOST IMPORTANT SPEECH OF THE WAR AND TO GIVE AN ACCOUNT OF THE DRAMATIC EVENTS WHICH LED TO FRANCE'S APPROACH TO GERMANY TO END THE HOSTILITIES.

"I spoke the other day," said Mr. Churchill, “of the colossal military disaster which occurred when the French High Command failed to with- draw the northern armies from Belgium at a moment when they knew that the French front had decisively broken at Sedan and on the Meuse.

B.E.F. Thrown Out of Action

"This delay entailed the loss of 15 or 16 French divisions and threw out of action for that critical period the whole of the British Expeditionary Force.

"Our Army and 120,000 French troops indeed were rescued by the British Navy from Dunkirk but only with the loss of all their cannons, vehicles and modern equipment.

"This loss inevitably took some weeks to repair and, in the first two of those weeks, the battle for France was lost.

"When we consider the heroic resistance made by the French Army who were at heavy odds in this battle (cheers) and the enormous losses inflicted upon the enemy and the evident exhaustion of the enemy, it may well be thought that those 25 divisions of the best troops, best trained and equipped might have turned the scale.
