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 "mc- dical supplies for French sick;

Thirdly, to strengthen "the French colonies_and', enable them better to reolst. Laval's efforts to induce them to join any arrangements assist Germany.

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 every opportunity to make

the American position clear.
