Unless
extraordinary
developments
occur
within
the
next
few
weeks,
it
is
believed
a
full
scale
invasion
of
Europe
across
the
English
Channel
is
not
among
the
planned
Allied
offensives
this
year.
As
British
and
Canadians
have
established
a
bridgehead
on
Italy,
there
is
much
speculation
In
unofficial
circles
here
concerning
a
possible
attack
through
northern
France
and
the
Low
Countries.
The"
concensus
seem;,
to
be
"perhaps
this
fall
most
likely
not
until
spring."
