Sir William G. S. Dobbie will lecture on "The De- fense of Malta" at 8 p. m. Tuesday in Hill Auditorium. Faieddefender of Malta during its two-year siege by bombing attacks General Dobbie, accompanied by Lady Dobbie, will come to Ann Arbor on a lecture tour which is taking them to principle cities of the United States and Canada. Before arriving in Ann Arbor he will have lectured at Wash- ington. D. C., Moline and Chicago, Ill. Illustrating his lecture, a factual account of Malta during its bom- bardment, a sound movie, "The Message of Malta," will be shown. The movie depicts the life of the fpeople of Malta during the pro- longed aerial blitz which first hit the island in 1940 making it the first part of the British Empire to jexperience air attack in its most modern form. After an outstanding military ca- reer throughout the South African War and World War I, GeneralDob- bie was appointed Governor and Commander-in-Chief of Malta and Paul Bunyan ~Formal Dnce six weeks after taking over the post Mussolini declared war on Britain and France. A key position for the British defense of the Mediterranean, Malta's total defense force did not exceed 5,000 men with a few out-of- date anti-aircraft guns, and four air- planes. The most thickly populated island of its size in the world, Malta is entirely dependent upon outside supplies for food and fuel, and convoys had to fight through submarine .and air attack to supply the island. The island survived the siege of two and a half years, during which time General Dobbie and his family experienced some 2,300 bombing attacks. King George VI has conferred the George Cross on the island in recognition of the loyalty and spirit of the people as shown during the siege. General Dobbie was twice honored by the British King, being made Knight Commander of the Bath in 1941, Knight Grand Cross of St. Michael and St. George in 1942. For other distinguished service he was awarded the D. S. O. and C. M. G. and he received the Legion of Honor of France, the Order of Leopold of Belgium, and the French and Bel- gian Croix de Guerre.
