Attläe said yesterday in the House of Commons that there was no possibility of peace negotiations as long as Germany had to suffer under the rule of the Hitler dictatorship. This was explained by Attlee in reply to a motion in which the convening of a peace conference was required and which only 4 members of the House supported.

Nevertheless, a lot of Materiai fell into the hands of the Greeks. To the official report of the capture of Sa ti Quaranta it was added that the Jtaliens have completely clogged the retreat road along the coast. The Jtaliens are located in Albania in an extremely difficult position, since the transverse connection from Valona to Koritza, although not entirely in the hands of the Greeks, is unusable for the Jtalians, and south of Valona there is no transverse link to the coast. They have to struggle with great difficulties if they want to bring their troops from one side of the front to the other. Everything indicates that in some front sections the Jtaliens find it very difficult to provianise their troops. -3 -
