U.S. Sees Attempted Invasion Of Britain
(Rec. 12.30 p.m.) NEW YORK, June 20. The large concentrations of German troops .in Denmark and Norway, combined with reports that the bulk of the Luftwaffe has withdrawn far inland for mass training, are looked upon in Washington as a certain indication that the long-awaited invasion of England is not far away. The massing of Nazi troops on the Russian border is regarded more as a political than a military move. Washington is gloomily predicting that Russia will sign a treaty giving the Nazis enormous economic concessions.
The Washington correspondent of the “New York Post” confidently expresses the opinion that the next blitz will be directed at Ireland or Scotland. His information is based on private information reaching Washington in the past 24 hours.
