POSSIBLE NEW MOVE
NAZI MENACE IN AFRICA LONDON, June 16. The "Daily Telegraph'' special correspondent in Morocco says: "Remembering that the. Germans are just as likely to force their way across North Africa as they are to go through Spain, it is significant that France's fair-sized North African army, with its few aeroplanes and little fuel and ammunition. would not be able to resist for long an attack from a well-equipped modern army. "This fact needs to be faced, because the Germans are backing : with threats their pressure on V ichy . for the use of Tunisian bases and a [ passage through for General Rom- ; mel's Libyan troops.
"There are sufficient German 'tourists' to hold Morocco in a web of espionage, and the French feel isolated and helpless."
