Tli 022G021 STATESMAN. SdemOrigoo. Vtdneday Momlag. Jun 11. 1311 icz Tim Churchill Impbr tant Utterance of Three Declarati Uun ons i r - : i By KIRKE L. - ?; Of all .the verbal outpourings, Tuesday from London, Rome, and Vichy, the most important utterance came from Prune Minis ter Churchill. ,.. He said that if Britain six j months from now were in no worse position at home or abroad than she is today "a famous chap ter", would have been written In her "martial history.' - In effect, Churchill was saying that despite reverses in the Balk ans, In Crete, in Libya every where in the east except in the Levant Britain is better braced ' to endure until winter than she ever has been. In answer to his parliamentary critics he pictured the lost battle of Crete as having served a good purpose despite its heavy cost . : Events on the undeclared! Franco-British war front In the ! Levant states tended to bear ! ' out that Char chill view as he spoke. British and Free French forces were In sifht of Damas cus and closely investing Bel-; ' rut Both are vitally Important . road and rail keyes. A 60-mile! allied advance in two days be tokens no formidable resistance1 by French colonial garrisons, ! except along the sea coast ! ' . Vichy," Berlin and Rome ap pear resigned to allied occupa tion of all Lebanon and Syria as by-product of French-German f collaboration." - It would mean close linking up of British- de fenses of the Spez canal defenses which would extend all the way from axis reoccupied coastal Lib ya to the border of pro-British Turkey. And but for the defense of Crete, as Churchill pointed out Syria might already be in nazi . hands. Despite Mussolini's fist-shaking address Tuesday, which, was aim ed largely at the American help-for-Britain policy, ' and Admiral Darlan's appeal for unified French support for the collaboration poli cy, Churchill's defense of his war management rates' first attention. That it strengthened his hold on British confidence is obvious; just as Warlan's failure even to men tion the syrian crisis hints at .growing doubt over French public acceptance of his policies. ." i Churchill not only drew an encouraging picture of British defense dispositions in the east; bat termed May Britain's "best month" In the Atlantic, How ever, he gave figures only for axis shipping sunk or scuttled, argregating nearly 250,000 tons. There have been recent unof ficial intimations J, of declining rather than increasing British ship losses in the Atlantic A Lon don accounting on a month j by month basis is soon due. It may .show that the losses iri that ocean did not exceed the Churchill fig ure for German used shipping de stroyed In May. !
