BIG GERMAN EFFORT
EXPECTED THIS SUMMER. MR DUFF COOPER'S WARNING. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, June 15. The Minister of Information, Mr A. Duff Cooper, said tonight that he was confident of victory, but he warned the nation to expect a big German effort this summer. Speaking of the events in Greece and Crete, he said these should be set in proportion to the whole. The Germans, too, had had disappointments and disasters. "These,” added Mr Duff Cooper, “are worth remembering when you hear so much being made of the defeat in Crete. Long may the day be distant,” he added, “when we shall refuse to give battle unless we are confident of victory." He went on to say that the Germans knew that they could not afford a long war, and they would make a far greater effort this summer. “But," he added, “we shall presently have both material as well as moral superiority, and we have never had a Prime Minister who enjoyed in so great a measure the confidence of the people."
