LAG BEHIND Nazi Prisoners Restiveness In

TIME-TABLE:

BLITZKRIEG FAILURE

Moscow, July 21 (Routor).-"The Germans, despite their claims that the Red Army and Air Force have been annihilated, have already long passed the assigned dates for their entry into Kiev, Leningrad and Mos- cow," declared M. Lozovsky, Vice-Commissar for Foreign Affairs on Monday.

U. S. Army

•

The real explanation for the Nazi delay was provided in an order signed by Major-General Nehring, command- ing the 18th German tank division, Lozovsky added. This order found inside a captured tank, says, "It is obvious that our losses in equipment, arms and machines have been unusually great and despite a successful advance they greatly exceed the captured trophies. Continuation of this situation is intolerable in the long run for we shall go on winning victories to our own

HANOI, July 21 (Reuter), Members of the Japanese Mission to Tonkin were evasive and reticent regarding the im- port of. General Sumita's recent flying visit to Tokyo. "It is not known" whether General Sumita brought back any demands re- garding the utilisation of Japan- ese naval and air bases in Indo- China,

Colonel Saito, representative of the Mission in Saigon, is flying back to-morrow after a three- day visit and conferences with General Sumita.

The arrival of the Governor- General brought no new develop- rients to-day but it is expected the Governor-General will see General Sumita very soon.

General comment here notes the meeting between Admiral Darlan and the Japanese Ambassador to Vichy and opines that the French capital is likely to be the centre of immediate development.

Commons Wants Single Control Of Production

(By "Reuter's" Parliamentary Correspondent) LONDON, July 21.-Parliamentary opinion will call for a bold decision on comprehensive and.progressive lines when the debate on production is resumed shortly. The main demand in the debate and one since reiterated in the newspapers, is that! there should be a minister charged with the speein! duty of supervising production as a whole instead of leaving it as at present under several ministers.
