coastal column went past Tyre, the old
capital of Phoenicia, and was reinforced
north of Tyre on the coast of the Lebanon
part of Syria, by men landed from the
sea under protection of British naval
guns. British planes flew overhead over
both northWard moving columns. North
of this landing point the French showed
a firm naval resistance. They claimed
that their sea forces had badly damaged
two British destroyers in battle off
Saida, the ancient port of Sidon, in
which the French were heavily out
numbered.
The invading column from Iraq took

Syrian border, Thursday
Damascus and moved on south
StnIemote westward toward the
Palmyra airport. In
neutral Madrid the British made sug-
gestion to the French that they halt
their resistance, but the Vichy govern
ment turned down this peace overture.
While peace was suggested and rejected,
the attacking forces found themselves
stalled around Damascus. The Free
French forces had completed an encircle-
ment of the city by the weeks end, but
they had not entered it. Imperial troops
were moving toward Beirut slowly but
steadily Australian aircraft Friday aft
ernoon attacked formation of Junkers
warplanes bearing Italian insignia dur
ing an attempt to bomb British war
ships off Saida. Three Junkers were
shot down, the imperial high command
said in Cairo.
Far away, the United States made a
desperate verbal effort to stay France
from resistance in Syria. Friday night
Secretary of State Hull issued warning
to France following a similar warning
of June g. in which he charged Vichy
France with fighting Germany's battle
in Syria and urged that France change
her policy. Two days earlier Admiral
Jean Francois Darlan, Vice Premier at
Vichy, told the French people that they
must cleave to Germany or perish.

CAPE TOWN, South Africa, June IA
South Africans shake their heads and
say to each other, "He shouldn't do 1t"
when they hear that their 7l-year-old
Prime Minister, Gen. Smuts, has spent
his Saturday clambering up the 1000
feet of Table Mountain at Cape Town,
as he does half a dozen times every
Parliamentary session. His bodyguard
detective who tolls along behind heartily
agrees with them.
For Jan Christian SmutS occupies an
unusual position in a democratic country.
The tradition that no man is 1nd1s-
pensable where the people are sovereign
has been set aside in his case, for he
Is much more than the Prime Minister
of the day. He is the leader of a people
at war, Minister of Defense, commander
in chief of the South African forces, and
the one man who, in the eyes Of his
countrymen, is irreplaceable.
If Winston Churchill typifies the will
of the British people to conquer or Ole,
it is Jan Smuts who has created in South
Africans the desire to be great, to be
more than the inhabitants of an obscure
colony, the plaything of powers at peace
conferences, to take their place as senior
partners in Africa, the continent of the
future.
Smuts' Problems.
Churchill or no Churchill there would
always be an England, but many have
fears, perhaps exaggerated fears that
without SHUTS there might not always
be a Union of South Africa.
For Gen. Smuts has not only had to
organize a country lamentably unpre-
pared for war to meet the Axis legions
in the deserts and jungles of Africa; he
has had to march against fifth column
of unappeaseable enemies, blinded by
political hatreds, narrow 1solatlonlsm
and the desire for power.
That in the second year of war his
armies are sweeping toward the Red
Sea 5000 miles or more from their
frontiers and his enemies at home have
been reduced to a nondescript political
opposition is the achievement of man
who can see the small things as well as
the big and knows his own people as
they do not know themselves.
A weaker man, a less experienced
politician, would have made the neces-
sites of war the excuse for suppressing
those who sought to cripple his war
effort. But he had read their hearts
and knew that that would be to f1atter
their Importance. He interned the Ger
man Nazis and few of their dupes, and
dealt the rest mortal injury by ignoring
them.
Gen. SHUTS rules South Africa as a
state at war now because he has always
looked north with the fascinated in
terest of an African-born and the anxiety

that whenever any ship with contra
