I’m not surprised the Times missed it. They have to be spread very thin in Europe right now. They can’t cover everything.
Except for London. They have at least a half dozen people with bylines writing from there. There are two or three in Berlin, a couple in Vichy, and maybe two in Italy. Matthews was just kicked out of the country and hasn't turned up elsewhere yet. C.L. Sulzberger has been the man in the Balkans. He will probably be checking in before long. Where they are really thin is Asia. They have Byas in Tokyo and Abend in Shanghai and that is it. Two guys for half the world. I'll wager that will be changing before long.
True. Right now they are preoccupied with the continuing air war between the Germans and Britain and the election. Notice that the skirmishing fight in Egypt as well as the down by the horn has disappeared from the news altogether (not to say there is much going on down there).
