Axis Powers

Partners are J lttery

It begnns to look a little as if the partners are getting fright/shed over the Job they have set. them- selves. They have made so much noise about it among their own peo- p19 that», it might be risky to back down. On the other hand their hope of quick success against the British Isle: is extremely sl.m and the hope of a long-fought success vlrtuall nil.

The longer the fight takes the more inexorably the wolves prowl toward the axis doors and other troubles are likely to acccmpany| them. ,

Even today Marshal Petaln,- France's Chzef of State, was re-i ported in Grenoble to be anxious to get his adminrtratlon back to German-occupied Paris because oil certain elements there who were disloyal to him.

Nazi Invasion Plans 1 Another story. carried

in the Grenoble nswspapsr lie Pctit Dau- phinois, said Germany was report- ed in foreign diplomatic circles in Switzerland to have assembled a force of 600.000 mm arid a vast army of small craft for an invas- ion atteunipt on Britain but that a division of opinion arose when Gen. Walther Von Brauchltsch be- came frightcncd at the risk.

‘This attempt, the newspaper said. was scheduled for the night of July 9-10, and a modified attempt may be mare next Friday.

However. the pcslbllity was voiced in some quarters that there ru- mors might be merely part cf Gay- da's kite, as Grenoble appears to be pretty clrse to Vichy which is now pretty close to to the axis when it comes to unverified rc- ports.
