POSSIBLE SURPRISES FOR GERMANS
Comment By Mr. Nash WASHINGTON, July 1(5. Suggesting that the Germans hud themselves been surprised that they got so far in Egypt, Mr. Walter Nash said today: “Thej may be just as surprised at what happens in the next week or two.” Mr. Nash was acting as spokesman for the Pacific War Council, which had just made a survey of war problems. He explained that attention was largely focused on the Mediterranean, where the situation had obviously improved. Nevertheless, troubles and difficulties were still sternly real, and therefore it would be unwise to boast. Asked whether the importance attached to the Mediterranean derived from the possibility of the Germans and the Japanese pressing for junction of their forces through India. Mr. Nash replied: "That’s a dream that lias been given some currency,' and then added bis comment about the possibility of surprises for 'he Germans. Mr. Nash introduced to President Roosevelt Commodore Parry, who is on his way home after serving for a period as Chief of the Nava' Staff in New Zealand, and Captain Geoffrey Cox, first secretary at the No-- Zealand Legation.
