HARDLY ROOM

FOR AMERICAN TROOPS IN BRITAIN

SCOPE FOR NAVAL AND AIR HELP.

VALUE OF THE RUSSIAN DIVERSION.

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) NEW YORK, July 26. “England is so full of sol>diers that there would be scarcely room to house American troops,” said Sir Gerald Campbell, Director-Gen-eral in Washington of the British .Information Services, replying to the question in an interview on his return from Loudon as to whether England expected an American expeditionary force.

However, he added, if the United States decided to enter the war it would be the navy and air force that would give the greatest help. Sir Gerald Campbell said it was at first feared that Russia would be unable to offer long resistance against Germany, but now the position was much more hopeful. Nevertheless, the German war machine was so tremendously and relentlessly efficient that the British were inclined only to hope for an early Russian winter. Hitler's Russian diversion had given \ England welcome breathing space, and X • London was so cleaned up that the visible effect of the terrible bombings was incredibly slight. The people were calm and confident, realising that the margin of safety had been increased though it was not yet strong enough.
