About

LONDON,

The

neither
confirms
or
denies
reports
published
yesterday
that,
the
frontier
between
Syria
and

had
been
closed.
There
is,
however,
plenty
of
discussion
of
the
Implications
of
such
a
move.
One
explanation
generally
suggested
Is
that
the
object

to
prevent
the
leakage
of

Information.
It
has
been
suggested
that
Invasion
forces
are
being
assembled
by
the
Allies
In
Byrla
to
strike
against
the

Gordon

there

Hon.

felt
that
to

as
that
