LAVAL'S DISMISSAL: VICHY HOPING FOR A SEPARATE PEACE

THOUGH INTERNAL policy is believed GAOL FOR

to be the chief cause of the dismissal of Pierre

Laval, reports from Vichy fail entirely to TWO

clarify the reasons.

It is probable, however, that Laval's efforts to make Marshal Petain a pliant tool for his pro-German policy encountered in creasingly stubborn resistance which was for tified by the changed situation in the Medi-

terranean.

It is reported that Laval last week laid far-reaching proposals for internal reform before the

Vichy Cabinet, together with a new German peace offer, both of which were rejected.

The Portugese lad said he was formerly a student of La Salle College and had been sleeping in the doorway of a Club in King's Park since January.

Marshal Petain is reported to have summoned Pierre-Etienne Flandin after this. This latter is held to be anxious to adopt a more dignified policy than

The rook on which the earfler Franco German negotiations came to grief might thus be removed.

Owing to the complete fallure of Laval's policy, Flandin is bound to move cautiously in the direc- tion of such a policy.
