London, May 5, A lack of exultant gloating in Hitler's speech and the comparatively minor key in which it was cast, were noted by London papers this' morning.
The "Daily Telegraph" finds particular interest in his casualty statis-ties which, it says, were carefully compiled to present a comforting contrast to the British estimate, It is incredible, says the paper, that an attack on such a scale and resisted so doggedly should have cost him a mere 5,000 or 6,000 killed and wounded, It looks as if he tried to square his figures with those of British losses in Gen, Wavell's Cyrenaica sweep.
It seems as if Hitler felt compelled to reassure his own people about the bombings they have been experiencing on an even more intensive scale, The truth is that he cannot even drop as many ' bombs on Britain as two to one, and the time will certainly come, as Mr, Churchill has predicted, when three bombs will be dropped on Germany for every one on Britain.
