REPORTS AT NEW YORK GIBRALTAR FIRST GOAL
Received 10.30 p.m. New York, September 27. rpHE Herald-Tribune says that a responsible European Government has informed its embassy at Washington that Germany will soon abandon its attack on Britain in favour of the occupation of the remainder of France preparatory to an attempt to take Gibraltar and bottle up the Royal Navy. The Germans have concentrated 26 divisions at Bordeaux and Biarritz. Hitler desires a diversion to cover up the failure of the Battle of Britain and wishes to force Spain into an alliance. This scheme favours Britain insofar as it will free the French colones from loyalty to the Vichy Government. The State Department has noted the synchronisatiom of offensive movements in Europe and the Far East.
