ALLIED REVERSES
LIST STEADILY MOUNTING A FEW SMALL SUCCESSES LONDON, June 22. "There are very few who delude themselves to-day that we are winning the war, or have any apparent prospect ,of winning it on present form," says the Evening News in a leading article. "Since Singapore the list of reverses mounts relentlessly. Our arms have achieved no enduring triumphs'on land, only a few small successes, such as Madagascar, against weak opponents.
„ " Retreats and evacuations are becoming retreats and surrenders. The time has come when defeats of the magnitude of Tobruk—defeats which may have incalculable' consequencescan no longer be slurred over as unavoidable disappointments for which nobody either at home or abroad should be blamed or held accountable."
