ALLIES’ NEXT MOVE
GERMANS FEAR BALKANS (Received June 14, 1 p.m.) LONDON, June 13 The occupation of Pantellaria and Lampedusa has opened up speculation about the next move. Commentators do not agree that this is necessarily the prelude to an invasion of Italy and warn that surprises may be expected. It is pointed out that the clearing of the Mediterranean supply route is an essential preliminary to action in any part oi the Mediterranean. To secure this the occupation of Pantellaria and Lampedusa must be followed by the neutralisation of the Italian naval air bases in Sicily and Sardinia, but some commentators express the opinion that the Allies may suddenly switch the main w.-ught of their assault to another part of the Mediterranean. The Germans are manifesting great uneasiness about the Balkans. A common British and American citizenship to carry on in peace the close accord of war days has been suggested by the British Resident Minister and Chairman of the British Supply Council, Colonel J. J. Llewellin.
