AMERICAN ATTEMPT TO EXERT INFLUENCE

IN VICHY

AMERICAN POLICY towards France was stat- ed by well-informed circles in Washington yesterday to be threefold:-

Firstly, to make it widely known that American friendship would be sacrificed in the event of French military collaboration with Germany;

Secondly, to give some tangi- ble evidence of goodwill, for ex- ample, the. distribution of milk. for French children and ·· me-

It is now generally accepted in Washington that the appoint- ment of Admiral William Leahy as Ambassador to. Vichy is. at least partly designed to streng then the influence of Marshal Petain at the expense

of the Axis-minded Laval.

North Africa Trip

Now comes a report that Mr. Robert Murphy, newly-appointed Counsellor of Embassy to Vichy, will visit North Africa en route, cstensibly to examine conditions *here. but he will doubtless see General Weygand and discuss the economic needs of African colonies.

Economic Warfare

It is reported in Washington that the French press under M. Laval has sedulously spread the idea that America favours the new order in Europe, and Ad- m'ral Leahy is expected to take the every opportunity to make American position clear.

It is thought the United States may approach the British econo- mic warfare authorities in re- gard to allowing milk for French children and medical supples for the sick through the blockade,
