CHURCHILL TELLS BRITAIN OF MILITARY SITUATION Prime Minister Winston 'Churchill told the 'house of commons in London on Tuesday that front the day 'Ger- man armies 'broke through the French -defenses along the A-leuse anhly a rapid retreat offered hope of saving the Allied armies in the north. From the moment that 'the Sedan and Ateusse defenses were 'pierced, in the .second week of May, it 'became necessary for the Allies to falll 'batik ,on Amiens and southward in order to attempt to rescue the armies which they had sent into Belgium +upon ;the request of King Leopold, "This stra' tegic fact was not immediately real- ized," -he added. "The French High Command hop- ed that they .would be able to close the nam (through which the Ger- mans dashed), The armies of the north .were under their (French) orders." 'Moreover, Churchil'l pointed ut, retirement of the Allies froth the north would have involved the de- struction of the Belgian army of snore than 30 divisions tabout,300,000 men) and the abandonment of all +Belgiu'tn. Therefore, o'hen 'Gen. t\'I'axime Vt'eygand took .command of the Atl- lied armies (s:ucceeding Gen. Mee -trice Gamedin) the .plan fas .for the British - French armies in Belgiutn to join hands with the Belgians on the left and a newly created French army on the right avhiell 'was to have 'advanced across the River Somme in ,great strength, "The German eruption s'w'ept like a sharp scythe around tip armies of the north and out off all 'communication 'between its and the -main Frendh army," Churchill said. "It severed .our communications for fond and ammun- ition and sheared its way nip the coast :almost to Dunkirk. The German armies in 'the north included eight or nine divisions (pro- bably about 11'35,000 amen), of .which each 'had about '4400 armored vehicles. "Behind 'this armored mechanized onslaught came a number of German divisions in lorries and behind them the dull 'brute .mass of ordinary 'Ger- man army and the 'German 'peaple, all - ways to ready to ,be led to trample down in ether 'lands the liberties and. comforts they 'have never known in their own. 'Churchill said.

'He said the sacrifice ettaele at Calais was not in vain. "At ica:et to armored divisions :which rather•wise wcnnid have been turned against the B.E.F. had 'to ibe sent for in order to overcome ehean," he pointed out, "The .time gained ena'bl'ed th-e Crrasa[ines water dine ('between Dunkirk and 'Calais) to be .held open by Frendh troops and 161btt it 'wale *hat the 'pant of Dunkirk THURSDAY, JUNE 5, 1141).
