The North African front—where Fascist forces have been stalled for more than two weeks after invading Egypt
—was believed to be the most likely point
for any new
bperations, with the Suez Canal, as the objective. British sources also have reported the Axis Powers attempting to gain greater control of French. Syria, presumably for a double attack on Suez, but the French Government at Vichy denied these reports. :
British airplanes raided Italian bases in Africa, caus- |
ing fires and casualties at the Egyptian post of Bugbug, and |
‘at Libyan Tobruk. Similar attacks were made on Gherilli, in Italian Somaliland, and the Djibouti-Addis |
baba railroad.
Italian planes again bombed Aden and British warships
in the eastern Mediterranean.
Italian Press Bombards U. S| On the diplomatic front, the Italian prize continued to
bombard United States efforts to support and- China, asserting that such aid was
Great Britain “absolutely inad-
missible’” and indicating that it eventually] might be regarded by the Axis Powers, including Japan, as an act of war. In London, however, it was said that Britain was planning to give increased aid to China, presumably by defying . Japanese warnings and reopening the Burma road for mili- ‘ tary supplies to Chungking in mid-October. ’ A Russian spokesman in London also said that there was no significance to rumors that the Soviet Union would abandon aid to China, regardless of Japanese or German efforts to draw Moscow into stronger support of the
new three-power Axis lineup.
The threat of discase was raised at Bath, England, by Dr. Joseph Barnes Burt, vice president of the physical medicirte section of the Royal Society of Medicine. He declared that unless every law of medicine was broken a terrible pestilence would break out on the continent
this winter.
