Prime Minister Winston Churchill
announced today in the l>tuse of

In a combined navy, army and

forces seized three of the four key
ports on the Madagascar west coast
opposite southeast Africa-Ambaja ia,
Majunga, Madagascar second city,
and Morondava-al of which are
suspected of having harbored enemy

across the Volga river at Stalingrad
has been blown up and every boat
destroyed, meaning that the de-

forced the Russians back on the
southwest approach of Stalingrad,
after a gallant stand that had last

PROTECT SHIPPING
Churchill emphasized that the
points seized, dominating the Mo-
i'ambique channel opposite East
Africa, would be used as key bases
to protect the Allied shipping which
goes through the channel.
The military commentator esti-
mated that there were 10000 Vichy
troops to defend Madagascar against
the Empire forces.
Lieut.. Gen. Sir William Platt,
general of command in chief of the
East African command, a veteran
of the campaign which liberated
Ethiopia from the Italians, led the
expedition, the commentator said.
He added that details of the fight
ing were not yet available.
Most of the Vichy forces, the COM

from Africa and Malagaseys, natives
of Madagascar, with white officers
and probably a contingent of white
troops.
