NEW NAZI PLAN.
OCCUPY ALL FRANCE,
ATTEMPT ON GIBRALTAR
NEW YORK, Sept. 27
The Herald-Tribune says that a responsible European Government has informed its Embassy in Washington that Germany will soon abandon ner attack on Britain in favour of occupation of the remainder of France, preparatory to an attempt to take Gibraltar and bottle up the Royal Navy. The Germans, it is stated, have concentrated 26 divisions in _ Bordeaux and Biarritz (Southern Fiance). Hitler desires a diversion to cover the failure of his battle for Britain and also to force Spain into an alliance. This scheme favours Britain in so far as it will free the French'colonies from their loyalty to Vichy. The State Department, the newspaper adds, lias noted a synchronisation of the offensive movements in Europe and the Far East.
