Capitulation

Situation May Require End Of Land Resistance In F rance—Naval And Air Re-

sources Would Joln Br1t1sh. (By J. F. Sanderson, Canadian Press Staff Writer) "

l LONDON, June lfi-(CP CablQ-Great Britain is “firmly and resolutely determined to continue the struggle untll victory has been won,” an authoritative statement issued tonight said.

_ Ilritain‘s_ promise never tosheathe the sword until the triumphant issue of the conflict is clear, was made after a meeting of the Churchill Cabinet.

SITUATION OBSCURE

The military situation in France remained obscure. The statement emphasized that rumors of peace pro- -posals and peace negotiations were “baseless and ill-in- formed" and declared that even if French land resistance is weakened the fight will go on.

This correspondent has been informed on the highest authority that there is no question of French capltulation to the Nazi forces racing through France like a wind- driven prairie fire.

MAY END LAND RESISTANCE

It is quite possible-and qualified sources said this fact should be faced squarely in all countries-that the French army as an instrument of resistance may be eliminated. That has not happened so far-it may never happen-but Ifrance has lost so much of her industrial life, so much received such a. pounding

German army that it rc-
