Latest dispatches from
French north Africa today
stated that American expe
ditionary forces which land
ed there during the week
end are making rapid pro
gress against the Vichy
French forces.
Today American force*
continue to land from big
convoys, although no inti
mation of the strength of
the force was given other
than that it is a major expe
dition.
A naval battle was in pro
gress against French forces
at Oran but little opposition
was given by the French in
other sectors. Forces have
landed in Morocco on the
west African coast as well
as on the northern coast in
the Mediterranean.
American forces have al
ready taken several major
airfields, where fighting
planes began operating im
mediately. Today bomber
forces were moving in rapid-
ly.
Some parts of the expedi
tionary forces have already
started moving eastward to
day toward Libya, possibly
with the intention of cutting
off retreat for Rommel’s
German forces now being
driven out^of Egypt by Brit
ish and Australian forces.
Landing of the American
forces opening a . second
front in Africa made the
biggest war news in several
weeks.
President Roosevelt broad
casted to the French people
a statement of the impend
ing invasion of French north
Africa, saying that it was
for the purpose of prevent
ing an invasion of that terri
tory by axis forces and in
that manner would protect
the western hemisphere. He
also stated that it would pro
vide an effective front to re
lieve our Russian allies.
