Persistent but as yet unconfirmed
reports reached responsible Govern
ment quarters today that Marshal
Henri Philippe Petain and Gen.
Maxine aWeygand are planning to
cross the Mediterranean to establish
French government in North
Africa.
According to those who know the
inside story of the relations between
the government which was set up in
France after the armistice under the
aged marshal and the Berlin gov
ernment, such q situation must be
expected.
Marshal Petain intended to live up
to the armistice terms as long as the
Germans respected them. He init
mated to American diplomats that
should the Nazis break the armistice
he would throw up his hands and
retire with his people" in France
But at the time when he made this
statement American Intervention in
North Africa was still a remote pos
sibjlity.
The arrival of the AEF in Algeria
and Morocco has changed the pic
ture completely. Marshal Petain,
abiding strictly by the armistice
terms, had no way out except to
break off relations with the United
States and to order his troops to
fight. But from the moment the

be prodded. My dificulties
rather lie in finding patience and
self to wait through many
anxious weeks for result to be
achieved"
Emphasizing that the Axis losses
have been very heavy" in all the
Egyptian fighting and that Hitler
could not have found worse place
to lose a battle" Mr.. Churchill
enumerated these consequences:
The Nazi air effort against Russia
was definitely affected in all these
last three months;
U-boat activities in the Mediter-
ranean have been considerably re-
duced";
One in every three of the Axis
ships with their seriously needed
cargoes have gone to the bottom of
the sea and the resources Of Ger
man and Italian shipping are most
severely strained;
The African campaign was "the
most effective means we have yet
had of drawing q portion of the
enemy's strength and wrath away
from Russia upon ourselves"
Eighth Session Of Commons.
This the eighth session of the
present Commons elected in 1885,

The Kings message was read by

He touched on only one contro-

5000 Enemy Casualties.


Up to last night, he said, Gen.
Alexander estimated that $1,000 Of
the enemy-34, 900 Germans and 25,-
900 Italians-have been killed, cap
tured. or wounded in the African
battle and that many more Italians
may be wandering about the desert. "
Our casualties were l3,600 of
whom So per cent were troops from
the United Kingdom" the Prime
Minister reported.
| He announced that Ito celebrate
our victory directions are being
given to ring bells throughout the
land next Sunday morning."
England's belfries have been silent
since the invasion threat after the
Battle of Britain, because the tolling
of the bells was to have been the
signal Of an invasion.
Mr.. Churchil's Armistice Day re-
port to Commons was punctuated
throughout with frequent cheers.
This was the happiest Armistice
Day Of the war, not for Churchill
alone but for all Britain, and the
galleries Of Commons were jammed
to hear him. Among the onlookers
were the Soviet Ambassador, Ivan
Maisky, and the Russian woman
sniper, 1t. Lyudmila Pavlichenko.
Echoing the heartenlng words Of
King George in convoking this new
session of Britain's war Parliament.
the Prime Minister hailed the
smashing Of the Axis African Army
as "a British victory Of the first
order"
Mr.. Churchill announced that he
would discuss not only "the great
battle of Egypt" but also "the other
halt OF the combination, namely,
United States and British interven-
ton In North Africa"
Reinforced in May and June.
The British divisions which REIN
forced the 9th Army for the deSert
battle left England in May and
early June, the Prime Minister dis
closed. Most of the ix-pounder
guns, which were used by the hun
edreds, were sent before the fall Of
Iobruk, ne said.
That also applied to heavily
armed tanks" he added, paying trib-
ute to "the generous way in which
United States sent supplies"
AS an example, he related that
President Roosevelt sent admir-
able" Gen. Shermans-medium
United States tanks-when Tobruk
fell, withdrawing them from Amer
lean soldiers to whom they had been
issued.
American ships in convoy bore
them east, he said, sailing direct to
Suez early in June and carrying
also 105-mm. guns as the Unitee
States answer to the high-velocit,
S8-mm. cannon of the NaIs.
One ship Of that precious convo,
was sunk by a U-boat, Mr.. Churchill
said, but Immediately and unsolic
tied the United States replaced i
with another loaded with an euua
number of weapons.
