SPARRING

Decisive

LONDONb

Both
Allied
and
Axis
forces
seemed
still
sparine
for
position
today
In
an
ex
pected
battle
for
Tunisia.
There
w
little
change
in
the
general
sit
uation.
Reuters
News
Agency
said
today
that
the
Rome
radio
reported
a
meeting
In
North
Africa
between
Sir
Bernard
Montgomery,
commander
of
the
British
Eighth
Army.
and
Lieut.
Oeneral
Kenneth
Anderson,
commander
of
the
British
First
Army,
adding
"thU
seems
to
foreshadow
concerted
action"
by
the
Allies.
Meanwhile
by
pouring
troops
and
supplies
into
Tunisia
by
transport
planes,
the
Axis-
has
an
army
of
j
approximately
36.000
men
concentrated
in
a
small
area
and
bitter
struggles
for
Tunis
and
Blzerte
seem
in
prosit
despite
growing
Allied
air
strength.
There
were
indications
today
that
the
British
army
was
resuming
the
attack
on

MtiSIater
believes
is
essential
in
building
up
a
real
j
Canadian
nation.
These
are
conclusions
which
Mr.
Slater
arrived
at
in
trie
course
of
a
three
months'
trip
to
Eastern
Canada
from
which
he
returned
yesterday
morning.
He
travelled
i
rather
extensively
through
various
!
parts
of
the
Dominion
during
that
trip
and
formed
some
rather
def-
inite
ideas.
Ftor
one

he
felt
that
it
should
not
be
necessary
;
for
two

appearing
In

This
was
not

he
'
believed,
with

spirit
of
a

nation.

Mr.
