The Indian Congress (Nationalist)

"non-violence" in opposong "exter-

way for great war preparedness

Mohandas K. Gandhi, the Ma

means that If the Congress, Mos

Fow rather than turn it over intact

No one in Germany pretended to
know what the French reaction
might be. The possibility Of her
refusal to yield remained.
But this would not make any
difference in the ultimate result.
Germans insisted. 1t was asserted
in well-informed quarters that if
France should not quit now on
whatever terms have been prepared
for her, the German Army would
swiftly force complete capitulation.
1t was not clear this morning
whether any Italian demands would
be presented together with the Ger
man terms. But obviously the axis
partners had set up separate ma
chinery with which to present their
previously dovetailed terms.

Gayda, Fascist. editor. frequently re-
garded as Premier Mussolini's
mouthpiece, wrote today.
He declared, in II Giornale d'Italia,
that Washington's Invoking the
Monroe Doctrine in notes to Euro
pean capitals" is proof of hesita-
ton toward adventure in North
America"
Gayda then repeated his previous
assertion that American interven-
ton in Europe would establish
precedent for possible European in
tervention in American interests.
Italy carried on her war with
Britain and France with her air arm
while awaiting Frances reply to the
armistice terms of the axis powers,
1t was kept secret whether Italian
negotiations with France were being
conducted separately or jointly with
Germany.
Nobody but Mussolini and Hitler
knows the terms" said authorita-
tive Faseists.
Bizerte and Malta Raided.
Gayda, however, wrote that "de-
cisions agreed on by Hitler and
Mussolini' had been communicated
to the French plenipotentiaries."
The Italian high command, mean
time, declared that Italian air at
tacks on the French base at Bizerte,
Tunis, and the British naval base
on the Island of Malta were severe
and effective"
The communique said Italian
planes violently bombarded the air
base at Matruh, port on the Medi-
terranean coast of Egypt. Success
full land operations against the
British in Africa were claimed.
Gayda declared that Germany
and Italy were preparing an attack
on Britain and its empire with va
rious means on diverse political and
military sectors" thus apparently
indicating that the axis powers
would try to ALLEVIATE smaller coun-
tries from attachments with the
British.
He declared that Britain's twofold
attempt to stif1en French resist

ing power into the European con-
flict," seemed doomed to failure.
