Archibald Ramsay, a member of Parliament, had been imprisoned under the defense act and that others had been ordered detained because of membership in organizations which might be used against the national security, France reported the arrest of 49 former Communists suspected of Trojan Horse activities. 5. The British Government announced consultations with Eire to guard against the possibility of a German invasion of Ireland to secure a base for attack on England. A furious battle was in progress in the area around Cambrai and Valenciennes, along Belgium's “Little Maginot Line.” Vicious, close-in fighting was said by the French to be taking place at the outskirts of Cambrai, 95 miles north of Paris, 20 miles from the Belgian border. The British reported that fighting of equal violence was going on a short distance to the west between Arras and Baupaume and that their troops were holding their own.

result that, while Il Duce and the King may differ on trifles, they agree on fundamentals. This, if true, is highly significant. For King Victor Emmanuel is known to be opposed to war against Britain and France, especially so since the Nazi invasions of Scandinavia, Belgium and Holland. Thus Mussolini finds the Pope, the King and the American President, plus strong sentiment among the Italian people, not to mention the attitude of Pan-America, all against extension of the war. On the other hand, things may now have gone so far that Mussolini may find it impossible to stay out. He may have to enter in order to safeguard “Italy's legitimate aspirations” against his own axis ally. Italy's claims probably would be given short shrift after a Gen
