Somd|iIdnd Attack
Reported 70 Vichy
Drive, Begun Yesterday
Hos Been Pushed About
30 Miles, Governor Says
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
VICHY, Unoccupied France, Oct
24.-The Vichy regimes governor
general in French Somaliland re-
ported in a dispatch from Jibuti
today that British and Free French
troops had started an attack on the
colony.
The announcement said the at
tack began yesterday and has been
pushed about 80 miles into French
territory.
Authoritative sources in Lon
don said there was no confrma-
ton of the report of an attack on
French Somaliland.
tRather, they expressed the
opinion that the report was put
out lin an effort to distract at
tention from reprisal shootings
in France
The Allies occupied Dasenaito,
only 18 miles north of Tajura, an
important port just across the gulf
of the same name from Jubuti, the
governor said.
The little French colony on the
Gulf of Alden has been surrounded
by the British and Free French
since Italian Eritrea and nearly all
Ethiopia were wrested from the
Italians last spring.
British and De Gaullist troops
were said to be advancing in two
columns.
The reported military move ap-
parently came after the British and
Free French were convinced that
the Vichy-dominated administra-
ton of the colony would not capitu-
late despite months of propaganda
pressure and massed military power
at the borders.
The British expressed hope last
June, after capture of Assab. Eritrea,
Just north of French Somaliland.
that the small French garrison soon
would join the Free French.
A month later the Vichy govern
ment was reported to have received
an ultimatum that French Somali-
land be turned over to the De Gaulle
forces or be blockaded.
The colony, lying at the neck be-
tween the Gulf of Alden and the Red
Sea. was to be easily deprived of
sea communications for the British
controlled those waters.
The Vlchy French, however. stuck
to their guns, although there were
negotiations for removal of women
and children from the colony-pre-
sumably the families of Europeans.
BY August British warships had
established the blockade.
Vichy, protesting against the de-
mands on the colonial administra-
ton, charged that the blockade con-
stltuted starvation campaign.
At stake in the dispute is

which make up the colony. inhabited
by less than $4,000 persons according

capital.

London, Sept. 6-UP)-A United States of Europe, probably sub-di- vided into Balkan, Latin, Gern1anic and Polish- Czechoslovak blocs and supported by Great Britain, the United States and Russia, was out lined today as the postwar aim of the Jugoslav government in ex- ile.
 Gen. Dusan simovitch, premier of the government established in Q Mayfair mansion here, discussed the "new world which will arise from this struggle" In an interview on the occasion Of Jugoslav King Peters 18th birthday, his coming of legal age and his ascension to the throne in exile, today.
 The new Europe, Simovitch said, must be one whose peace and se- curity do not rest any longer on Maginot and Siegfried line armed forces. but on the confidence and mutual solidarity of European peo- ples."
 "only by preparing conditions for the realization of United States of Europe can we hope that such wars will not be repeated and that Europe will save It's civiliza- tion," he said.
 Survival of the Balkan countries especially depends on their working out Q system of collaboration, he said, since all are agrarian coun- tries, competing with one another selling their products at low prices
