Allied forces drove for

opposition in Syria Tuesday
while Premier Benito Mus
solini warned the United States
against entry into the war and
Prime Minister Winston Churchill
defended conduct of the British
campaign in Crete.
1t was a day in which speeches
and parliamentary deliberations
overshadowed the apparent smooth
progress of allied forces in Syria
and an almost dead calm on other
war fronts.
Mussolini, while processing to be
little concerned at the prospect OF
American intervention in the war,
devoted his most spirited comments
to that possibility.
He claimed the move would bring
dictatorship to the United States,
brand of totalitarianism which
he warned would DE inferior to
Italy's, that it would not give Brit
ain victory, that it would uselessly
iengthen the war and limited Japan
and possibly Spain would join the
Axis side if America joined the
British.
Churchill declared the allied
forces were moving ahead speedily
in Syria, with little French resis-
tance. He described Vichy govern
mant as now completely subservient
to Berlin and reported May was the
best month for some time in the
rattle of the Atlantic. He indicated,
