42,000 Moved From Cologne To Paris Suburbs

N e u t r a l Diplomat Does not Think War Will End In 1943.

TORONTO. D90. 3—(CP) -—- The Toronto Star today quoted an un- riamed Neutral Diplomat, who has just arrived in Toronto from Berlin, as saying that. 42,000 people have been moved from Cologne to the suburbs of Paris because of air raids.

The paper said the Diplomat - who arrived here by way of Paris, Madrid, Lisbon and Baltimore - could not be named becaues his country's embassy is still open and staffed in Berlin.

Recalling an announcement by Hitler Oct 9, 1941 that the Russian had been crushed, the Diplo- mot. said:

"The greatest shock the German people have known 1n this war was to iind trainload upon trainload of their wounded streaming back from the Eastern Front months after that lying announcement. Disillusion was complete."

Fleas‘. lie said, ls the one word which describes the feeling of the German people today: fear of the Gestapo and fear of the future even under a victory.

"This started out as a Nazi party war and the bulk of the people had no heart for it but now they know it is a. German war and they must win or perish. That is whv I think the War will not end in 1943. You of the United Nations will have to meet the German army and conqurr it and then occupy Gcrmanyn"

BERNE. Dec. ZS-—lAP) Italy's ex- posed" position and the strain placed on her morale by continuing aerial bombardment, and military reverses have forced the Germans to come m her aid for a second time, as they did in Greece. and at an hour when the Nazis need their greatest efforts elsewhere.

Foreign political observer's here said tonight that they did not sze how Italy could quit the War. even

st if her Government and people were

determined to do so as ion as Ger- man troops kept a tirm inf uenoe in the country and prevent develop- ment of organized opposition to MllSSOllni and his war policy

From Mussolini down, the Italians are aware that. Allied effort is con- centrating upon knocking Italy out of the war.

Admiralty Tells 0f New Blow At Axis

Four Enemy Trans- ports and Two Des-

Africa.

p, BLAKE suuavau (Associated Press Staff Wfltfl‘)

LONDON, Dee. 3 - (AP — Sixteen Allied naval vessels were lost out of an esthnated 850 WI’- tlcipatlng in the occupation of North Africa nearly I mimm ago, announcements here and in Washington disclosed today» but casualties were described as "very small."

The delayed disclosures of Al- lied losses came almost sim- ultaneously with an admiralty communique telling of atwlhfl‘ smashing blow at Axis sulillll! lines to Tunisia-tho sinking of four Axis transports and tho destroyers last Tuesday b! i‘ British naval force that includ- ed three cruisers.

Allied warships lost in the orifi- inal Allied movement on Morow!) and Algeria, the Admiralty said. in- cluded the British aircraft carrier Avenger. three destrfiyers. two cut- ters. a sloop, _a rninesweepei’. a-n an- ti-aircrafi; snip, a depot shiD and the corvette Gardenia. The toll of Allied naval vessels and tran-BDOrts in the hot. fighting that occurred at several points was described bv A. V. Alexander. First herd of the Admiralty. as ccrmiderably smaller than expected and "far less than the enemy claimed.”

The Avenger was the former Arri- oricon cargo-passenger liner Rio Hudson of 17.500 tons. launched two years ago at Chester, Pa. The ship accompanied a convoy to England last spring and was turned over to t-he Royal navy.

The three destroyers listed as sunk were the Broke and the Mar- tin. botli British, and the Isaac Sweers. a Netherlands ship which had been towed half-completed to England when the Nazis invaded the low lands.

Struck by a torpedo off Algiers, the Sweets went down swiftly but 138 of the Netherlands crew of 220 were believed to have survived.

The critters Walirey and Hart- land, t-wo former U5. coast Guard vessels transferred l0 the Royal Navy in 1941. were sunk in what Mr. Alexander said was "a gallant attempt to prevent the scuttling of blccksiii s in Oran harbor" Althoueh urnliiz. the cutters smashed through the harbor boom and penetrated to the in- ner harbci‘ to land troous before they wont down, he said.
