DANGERS IN AFRICA
POSSIBILITIES OF NAZI ACTION MAY THRUST WEST FROM LIBYA. FRENCH ISOLATED AND POORT.Y PROVIDED. ißv Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright i LONDON. June 10. The "Daily Telegraph's” special correspondent in Morocco says that, remembering that the Germans are just as likely to force their way across North Africa as to go through Spain, it is significant that France’s fair-sized North African army, with few planes and little fuel and ammunition, would be unable to resist a long attack from a well-equipped modern army. This fact needs to be faced, because the Germans are backing with threats their pressure on Vichy for the use of the Tunisian bases and a passage through for General Rommel's Libyan troops.
There are sufficient German “tourists” to hold Morocco in a web of espionage and make the French feel isolated and helpless.
