LONDON. July 1*— (UP)—Oreat
Britain, determined to fight Ger-
nsany and Italy to the end- has re-
acted three aeparate pead^ feelers
aince the collapse of France, usu-
reliable Informants said today. |
The third, it was asserted, was
coupled with a threat that nnw»
it was accepted Oermany and Italy
would advanoe toward the Near
i^est through the Balkans There
*** *i*o * hint, it was added, of
POMlble moves ln North Africa,
Spain and Portugal.
Bach of the feelers was advanced
*n suen a way that it could be dis-
avowed. Informants here were 01 1
uie opinion that they had been ap-
proved if not Inspired by Oermany
wot untie was naturaiiy no wax
of proving it.
According t« informants, the first
feeler came from 8pain through a '
channel which ^p&liy could be dis-
associated fipbrii the Spanish gov-
ernment This oiler, uevet onu.-
l*liy admlUdfl. Was reported to have
received no encouragement
A second overture, for which
there was more solid substantiation,
was said to have come last week |
from a quarter close to the Vati-
can It was aevneed as a some- |
what vague and humanitarian ap-
peal to consider peace possibilities
before humanity was plunged Into
ireah anguish
A third feeler, it was asserted, has
Just been rejected This one was
•aid to have come from the gov-
ernment of a oountry In the Medit-
erranean area which was on dose
terms with the axis powers
There was some belief here that
the reported peace feelers offered
one explanation for the pastpona-
mnt of a Oerman attempt at in-
vading the British Isles. But ac-
cording to information, they met In
each instance with unimpeachable
retorts that Britain would fight.
The possibility was not excluded
that a Oerman Invasion attempt on
Britain might be postponed indefi-
nitely. until after some other dra-
matic military move had been made
by the axiygeem
They did not explain the sudden
dearth of top-rank artists with suf-
ficient box-office lure to warrant
future casting.
