Britain Relies On New Tanks To Make Or Smash Invasion

Thousands of tanks in a large number of armoured divisions are Britain's answer to Germany's panzer divisions.

British officers confidently expect these tanks-many of new and secret design-to smash either a Nazi invasion attempt or to deal a decisive stroke on the European Continent at some future date.

-machine-gun carriers in France; but now, starting from scratch since the withdrawal from Dunkirk last spring, British designers have built up an entire new group of armoured divisions.

RESIGNATION OF MICHAEL ARLEN

Famous Novelist Explains

Mr Michael Arlen, the novelist, has resigned his position of honorary Press Officer to Lord Dudley, Civil Defence Commis- sioner for the Midlands Region, because of ill-health.

His resignation followed a question in the House of Com- mons by Mr Walter F. Higgs, M.P. for West Birmingham, stating that Mr Arlen is a Bulgarian and that his appointment as a public relations officer for the Midlands Region was caus- ing considerable dissatisfaction

At the Ritz Hotel, Piccadilly, he told the News Chronicle that' Mr Higgs's question and his own resignation were not con- 'nected.
