Statement
On
War
Is
Made
By
Head
Of
British
Government
LONDON,
Nov.
5:
(CP)
The
scale
of.
Great
Britain's
assistance
to
Greece
was
outlined
by
Prime
Minister
Winston
Churchill
as
Parliament
met
today.
In
addition,
the
Prime
Minister
dealt
with
Great
Britain's
representations
to
the
Vichy
government
in
an
effort
to
find
the
extent
of
Premier
Henri
Fhillippe
Pctain's
collaboration
with
Germany.
Prime
Minister
Churchill
pledged
Great
Britain
to
the
utmost
possible
aid
to
..Greece
in
its
fight
against
invasion
by
Italy.
Mr.
Churchill
called
upon
the
British
nation
to
prepare
itself
for
campaigns
in
1943
and
1941.
Great
Britain
has
established
air
and
naval
bases
In
the
Greek
island
of
Crete
and
systematic
.bombing
attacks
on
military
ob
jectives
in
southern
Italy
will
be
intensified,
Mr.
...
told
the
House.
Possession
of
Crete
will
enable
us
appreciably
to
extend
activity
and
radius
of
the
nary
and
air
force'
the
Prime
Minister
said.
In
addition
to
these
develop
ments
"other
forces
are
in
movement
with
the
desire
and
design
of
helping
the
Greeks
to
the
utmost
of
our
capacity,
having
regard
to
other
obligations,"
Mr.
Churchill
said.
The
Prime
Minister
asked
the
House
to
excuse
him
from
specifying
the
exact
scale
of
Great
Britain's
military
co-operation.
Mr.
Churchill
made
only
passing
reference
to
the
decision
of
Premier
Petaln
of
France
to
collaborate
with
Chancellor
Adolf
Hitler
and
expressed
confidence
that
the
navy
would
iind
means
of
beating
the
u-boat
campaign
which
had
taken
such
a
heavy
shipping
toll
recently.
Mr.
Churchill
said
that
14,000
civilians
and
300
soldiers
had
so
far
been
killed
by
air
raids
on
Britain
with
20,000
wounded.
IRISH
BASES
The
fact
that
Great
Britain
is
unable
to
use
Eire
bases
to
refuel
submarines
and
destroyers
"is
a
most
heavy
and
grievous
burden,"
Churchill
said.
Former
War
Secretary
Hore-lisha
called
on
President
Eamonn
de
Valera
to
hand
back
for
the
duration
of
the

Great
