BERLIN,

(CP)
Although
the
situation
in
Flanders
might
place
Germany
in
position
for
an
invasion
of
Britain,
the
Nazi
press
hinted
today
that
France
rather
than
Great
Britain
was
the
next
major
target.
At
London,
however,
Sir
John
Anderson,
Home
Secretary,
asserted
there
was
every
prospect
of
an
early
call
on
the
civil
defence
service
and
urged
them
to
keep
fully
manned
and
ready.
