Soviet Impressed Moscow; Soviet radio devoted considerable attention to the news, the announcer emphasising Benghazi's strategic and naval importance. He spoke of the great distances across the desert that the British troops had to cover. The British communiqué was read, with London comments. New York; "The Sun" hails "the smashing victory of General WAVELL," and considers that the campaign is now at an end.

Australia; "A magnificent effort; Our forces must have had a motor race: Extraordinary how the Italians cleared out!" was the comment of Major-General V.A.H. STURDEE, Commander-in-Chief of the Australian Imperial Force, at Melbourne. Canada: "History will put a low estimate on the Duce." says the "Toronto Star.: "Throughout Africa the initiative is now with the British and their native Allies. It was MUSSOLINI'S greed that got them into this position."
