- Your columnist pre-
sents in tOday's script the
above letter of urgent inquiry
from a representative East
Indian gentleman.
The gentleman asks some
pertinent and rather per-
picking questions regarding
Mr.. Rooseteit,s and Mr.,
Churchills eight points.
To answer frankly Mr.. Sid
MOhamed Ali Barada's an
nOyingly direct questions We
would have to say that IL
would be extremely optimistic
TO infer tn A t in practical
operation any of the eight
points of Mr.. ROoseyelt's and
Mr.. Churchill's pronuncia-
mento would result In the
release Of the nations which
Mr.. Barada is pleased to call
enslaved from their-er-ah
bondage az it were.
Probably when the eight
points come TO be applied
or rather not applied-in the
post war period the "enslayed
nations under the dominion
(despotic or democratic) Of
Russia or England. or of
France in its arrangement
with Germany will remain, we
might say, a is-indeed with
perhaps another knot or two
tied i'm their bonds.

Greater Attacks
Expected to
Follow
Over Thousand in
New Zealand
Uniforms

Germany's first attempt at an all.
air-borne invasion OF a British de-
Tended island was reported today
TO have failed In mountainous
Crete, with the death or capture
OF all the Nazi glider and parachute
troops launched at the stronghold
in the first days fighting.
British already had declared they
had the military situation in hand
when news dispatches from Cairo
quoted official Greek sources that
the last OF the attackers had been
mopped up.
British military authorities pre-
dicted, however. that greater at
lacks would follow; that the first
attack yesterday was intended to
test tho defenses OF the island 100
miles off the German-conquere
Greek mainland in preparation for
grand scale onslaught.
The exact size OF the force the
Nazis landed in the olive groves
and craggy hills OF the island was
not disclosed, but Prime Minister
Churchill pictured the attack as
strong when he declared yesterday
that about 1900 OF the Germans
landed in New Zealand uniform.
The Germans have denied such
charges against their parachutists
in the past.
The size OF the defense force
also was not disclosed, but 1t has
believed TO include two Greek
divisions in addition to British i'm.
perial troops under the New Zea.

Night Attacks Luli
In the air war OF the West, bad
weather forced continuance OF
the lull in night attacks by both
sides. Only sporadic bombings
we're reported.
An authorized German spokes-
man predicted the speedy release
OF the 140 Americans taken off the
Egyptian steamer canaan by
German warship which sent her
TO the bottom Of the South Allan
tic. The Americans. with tho
crew and other passengers were
said TO have been taken TO a
