Surprising Developments
In Store for Britoin in
Next Z Months, He Suys
BY the Associated Press.

BERLIN, June l3.-Propaganda
Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels, in
an article appearing in an
edition of Adolf Hitlers newspaper,
Voelkischer Beobachter, which later
was confiscated. discussed today the
possibilities of invasion of England
and indicated the Island of Crete
was an example of what might hap
pen to the island of Britain.
IF today Crete events are hotly
debated in England, one need merely
substitute the word England for
Crete to understand what is meant"
Goebbels wrote.
There was a yelled suggestion that
surprising developments might be in
store for England within two
months
He said that IF two months ago
some one had told Churchill We
would have Crete at the beginning
Of June he probably would have
laughed But today Crete is in our
hands and if some one now were to
tell him what might happen within
the next few months he probably
would laugh again"
Terms British Slow.
Goebbels said the British have
a traditional attitude toward mill
tary matters and are slow to adjust
themselves to technical develop
ments. The German Army, on the
other hand. takes nothing for
granted. experiments constantly
works out old problems in the light
of technical advances, he wrote.
Authorized spokesman would not
comment on reasons for the confis-
cation and smiled when it was
suggested that Goebbels had been q
victim of censorship.
Goebbels' article said the English
are constantly demonstrating in
maneuvers that invasion is impos-
sible.
But English troops attempt these
sham invasions," Goebbels wrote,

Recalls French Maneuvers.
Goebbels recalled that the French
maneuvered before the Maginot Line
and came to the conclusion it was
invulnerable.
He said the British would fall into
the error of the French if they
thought water was an insurmount-
able obstacle.
Certainty there are ways and
means of overcoming such obstacles,

IF the trouble is, in fact, ex-
tended, the French government will
find itself obliged to assure by neces-
sary measures the defense of terri
tories under French sovereignty"
The text of the memorandum
which Sir Samuel was directed to
hand to the French Ambassador at
Madrid in reply said:
His majestys government in the
United Kingdom have had the honor
to receive the communication which
the French Ambassador at Madrid
handed to his majesty's Ambassa-
dor on June g.
His majestys government will
not be expected to enter into an
argument with Marshal Petain's
government on the subject of the
meaning OF the word collaboration,
more especially since it has not been
clearly defined in the communica-
ton under reference.
His ma jesty's government have
based their action in Syria on the
facts Of the case as known to them
anu liOU oll lliCOl CllCdl
tons, and this has been made clear
in their public statement on the
subject issued on June 8.
His maiestys government would
recall that his majestys Principal
Secretary of State for Foreign Az
fairs stated in the House of Com
mons on May % that if the Vichy
government in pursuance of their
declared policy of collaboration with
the enemy took action or permit
ted action detrimental to his mai
eSty's governments conduct of the
war or designed to assist the enemy's
war effort, his majesty's government
would naturally hold themselves free
to attack the enemy wherever he
might be found.
Petain Held Responsible.
Responsibility for the conse-
quences of assistance which French
authorities in Syria were instructed
to render to enemies of his ma jesty's
government must therefore rest with
Marshal Petain's government.
His majesty's government are
happy to note that Marshal Petain's
government will avoid taking any
action which might aggravate or
spread the conflict. They have no
desire that French blood should be
shed and should consequently sug-
gest that it would be in the interest
of both countries if Marshal Petain's
government saw their way to in
struct their forces in Syria to offer
no opposition to measures which
the Allied forces are taking in order
10 prevent the enemy from using
Syria as base of operations against
them.
His majesty's governments take
this opportunity to repeat that they
have no territorial designs in Syria
or anywhere in French overseas
possessions and it is their intention
when victory is won to restore the
independence and greatness of
France"
