WAVELL
ASSUMES
BLAME
LONDON
Sir
Archibald
Wavell
has
assumed
responsibility
for
the
setback
in
Libya
last
spring.
The
Axis
counter-attack
had
come
sooner
than
he
had
calculated,
Wavell
said.
He
had
not
expected
it
until
the
end
of
April
and
had
made
a
miscalculation
when
Greece
appealed
for
speedy
aid.
GERMANY

BERLIN
A
German
government
spokesman,
said
last

that
the
war
would
be
conducted
relentlessly,
no
matter
how
long
it
might
be,
until
victory
is
won.
There
was
only
one
question,
s.aid
the
spokesman,
and
that
was
whether
England
would
be
de-tiocd
or
aik
for
peace.
