Chronicle has a four-column streamer Roosevelt's gigantic 
      victory plan. Mirror has heading --Yanks Coming Over Here; and 
      Sketch has -- Yanks Coming Again. Mail carries an article on 
      bases prepared by American technicians at Ulster, Scotland. Express 
      prints Morley Richards saying that the B E F and A E F will invade 
      the continent together and forecasts the bombing of Germany day 
      and night with 2,000 planes every 24 hours, though there is a 
      warning that Hitler may try invasion of Britain in the spring 
      to forestall an Anglo-American offensive. Herald's headline --- 
      United States Will Send Army to Britain--devotes almost an entire 
                 second page to Roosevelt's text.

      is emphasized with the tendency to lay blame to the abandonment 
      of Penang and a demand for those who are responsible, but the 
      military correspondent of the Express thinks is possible that 
                  the Chinese may bring relief.             
 
                                                            
 
 
Times turnover describes pull-baker, pull-tailor situation 
      at North French Africa and explains Wavell's reporting Weygand's 
      removal by Vichy as fear of his defiance and points out that 
      if Britain controls the coast from Port Said to Tripoli, north 
      Africa will become springboard for attack of Europe and the Mediterranean 
      will be closed to Axis- if Rommel's retreat continues, Nazi pressure
