the Germans, in turn, had been
stepping up their attacks on
Crete.

Mr.. Churchill reported the in
vasion of Crete in two statements to
Commons. In the first he said the
aerial invasion had used Southern
Greece as its springboard, where
"for the last few days our recon-
noitering airplanes had noticed
heavy concentrations of German
aircraft of all kinds"
The Prime Minister added: I'VE
have attacked them night after
night, tnf1icting considerable damage.
Our troops there, British, New
Zealand and Greek forces, are under
the command of Gen. Freyburg and
we feel confident that the most
stern and resolute resistance will be
offered to the enemy"
Coming at end of brief review of
British operations in Near East, Mr..
Churchill electrified House with his
statement. None of his staff knew
he intended to make the extern
porary remarks. He did not trouble
about peroration, but just sat down
after the speech, the first part of
which treated the House to light
hearted and witty phrases.
Observers saw in Mr.. Churchllls
switch from his lighthearted review
of fighting in the Salum area and
Ethiopia to grave outline of the
Crete situation as indications that
