* Attack on Britain Awaited ‘Adolf Hitler and Benito Mussolini obviously hoped. to prevent war in the Balkans until they have had opportunity to launch an offensive on a grand scale against the British Empire in general and the British Isles in particular. ) One familiar phase of that attack—the propaganda’ peace offensive—already. is well underway, with rumors of peace moves. between Britain and Germany spreading to many parts of the world: These rumors were branded as completely | false today by Neville Chamberlain, former Prime Minister of Britain and now Lord President of the Council in the British Cabinet of Winston Churchill. * In an interview. with ‘the United Press, Chamberlain— who had been assailed by some political foes as still likely ‘to

A “We: Are Just Beginning” “We are just beginning the struggle,” he said. “This

would be the worst possible moment to enter peace nego: tiations.” The British Isles, Cabinet members declared; have been made into a fortress and the defense preparations are constantly being speeded up, while the British air force continues to pound at German military industrial objectives. The Admiralty also announced _that the submarine Tetrarch had sunk a loaded German transport of 8000 tons off the south coast of Norway, where the Nazis have been reported assembling troops and small boats for the forthcoming attempt to invade the British Isles.

An Italian war communique said that Fascist planes had shot down two British craft and “effectively bombed” British lines and motorized units in North and East Africa. Efforts of Britain and of French leaders abroad to organize French empire resistance or get control of part of the French fleet continued entirely obscure and without any definite results to date: = Frequent statements were made that French colonial forces in North Africa, the Near East! and Indo-China would resist “invasion” but to date there has been little or nothing to support the British belief that large forces, would refuse to obey the surrender order of the French Government &t Bordeaux. The position of Turkey continued ‘uncertain, but it appeared that ‘the Turkish Government was taking extensive military precautions. Two additional classes were called up in Turkey and large units of the fleet were reported in the Bosphorus heading for the Black Sea.” Troop movements on the Turkish side of the Edirne district, adjacent to Bulgaria, also were reported. t

0.8. LEGALIZES LINERS: SEIZURE

Adplicable to Normandie And Queen Elizabeth.

WASHINGTON, June 28 (U.P). —The United States was legally prepared today to seize such lux-

issuance of a Presidential proclamation yesterday authorizing the Treasury Department, through its collectors of customs, or the Governor of the Panama Canal to seize any foreign or domestic vessel in United States harbors, including those of the Canal Zone. ’ While there was no formal interpretation of the order, Mr. Roosevelt indicated at a®press conference that it could be applied to the Normandie and Queen Elizabeth. But he gave no indication whether

President Roosevelt's proclamation generally was believed here to be a move to prevent French ships now in the United States from fall{ing into the hands of Germany as a result of the-terms of the Ger-man-French armistice. It could be used in the future for similar “pretection” of British vessels. Money assets in this country or other nations conquered by Germany already have been “frozen” to prevent their withdrawal ‘by unauthorized sources.

CAPITAL OF FRANCE WILL MOVE INLAND

BORDEAUX, June 28 (U. P.). — France began reconstruction today and prepared to move its capital inland ‘as it awaited for Germany to enforce her armistice terms. Reorganizing his Cabinet, Premier Marshal Philippe Petain appointed Adrien: Marquet to succeed Charles Pomaret as Minister of the Interior; named the latter Minister of Laber to sdccéed Andre Fevier, and placed

Fevier in the important, previously

unfilled post of Minister of Transmissions. The new Cabinet met wider chairmhnship of President Albert Lebrun and discussed details of the Government's departure to establish a capital somewlvere .in central France, in’ a zone not occupied by German troops. Under the armistice, Germany will control nearly half of France, at least’ until after the war against Great Britain. The Government probably will leave Bordzaux this week-end -after which the Germans will be in control. here. (Reports from Lendon and North Africa said "that the new capital probably would be at Clermont Fer-

‘rand, 182 miles northeast of Bor-

deaux.)

Expansion Progra Program Costing Up to 7 Billion Stresses ~ Latest Warplanes.

WASHINGTON, June 28 (U. P.). —A new. Army expansion program, which is being drafted by War Department officials and national defense experts, probably will exceed

the $4,000,000,600 naval expansion program, authoritative quarters indicated today. : President Roosevelt said the new long range Army program is being drafted with a view of giving man-{-ufacturere orders far in advance of. appropriations. r The Army .program has been de-

Other recommendations, it was said, would include huge expansions in the Army’ supply of heavily armored tanks, anti-tank .and anti-aircraft guns, artillery ‘4nd motored vehicles. Ths Plan also will recommend expenditure of approximately $1,000,000,000 for new and enlarged facilities. - “to develop” additional sources of crucial munitions; including -- smokeless - powder, TNT, and ammonia. : . One source said the-plan probably would contain. provisions for. huge contract authorizations as an integral part of the Defense Commission’s plan to throw industry into high gear on armament production.

Somewhat heatedly, he ridiculed reports abroad that he was intriguing against Churchill. “The idea that it would be. possible for me to intrigue against my leader is fantastic,” he said. “It shows a complete TAK of knowledge of my character and convcitions.
