LONDON, May 31 (P) The
French naval squadron at Alex-
andria came over to the allies
voluntarily following negotia
tions with Gen. Henri Giraud,
it was officially confirmed here
today.
. These sources said the Vichy
charge that the squadron had
been starved into submission was
"quite untrue." The report of the
fleet joining the allies was first
broadcast yesterday by the Ber
lin radio.
. The squadron has been tied up
at the Egyptian naval base since
the fall of France in June, 1940,
under an agreement between the
British and French Vice Admiral
Rene Emil Godfroy.
It consists of the 20,000-ton
battleship Lorraine, the heavy
cruisers Duquesne, Tourville and
Souffren, the light cruiser Du
guay-Trouin, three destroyers
and a submarine.
. There was no comment on Ger
man reports that the squadron
would join the 35,000-ton battle
ship Richelieu, which arrived in
the United States for repairs last
February.

Japan appeared to agree, for
tile enemy broadcast a comnuuv
iquo telling of a "final blow
against the enemy main force."
In that battle, tho enemy broad
cast asserted "it is thought that
the entire number of our force
has completely perished."
Tokyo Idealists Daloat
A subsequent Tokyo broad
cast, seeking to idealize the de
feat, assorted that "Japanese
troops launched the final attack
on Attn after shouting 'Bunzia'
for the emperor and making
bows toward the imperial palace
in Tokyo." The broadcast told
of gaps developing in Japanese
ranks until only a few more
than 100 men remained and they
sent a message to Tokyo 'remem
bering tho honor of Japanese sol
diers, we are going into the
fight and only death 'can take
our weapons out of our hands."
They presumably wont into
the battle in the Chichagof val
ley in an attempt to cut around
the right flank of American
forces at dawn Saturday. "Ex
cept for snipers," the navy's com
munique said, this enemy force
was annihilated."
Greater Force
It was indicated that the
enemy force was far greater than
the "few more than 100" men
tioned by Tokyo, for the navy
declared "preliminary reports
indicate that the Japanese casual
ties were high.
Soldiers unable because of Ill
ness or wounds to take part in
the final offensive killed them
selves, the enemy radio said, add
ing that every man who could
fight died willingly rather than
"bring disgrace to his name.
Two offensive courses now ap
pear open to the Americans Jn
the North Pacific to recapture
Kiska where the enemy estab
lished his largest Aleutian base,
or to drive toward the west and
the Japanese homeland.
