MARSHAL PETAIN

MAKES COMPROMISE OFFER TO

HITLER

ADMIRAL DARLAN, accompanied by General Huntziger, Vichy War Minister, is re- ported to be in Paris with counter-proposals from Marshal Petain to Herr Hitler's de- mands.

It is believed that the proposals suggest a compromise whereby M. Laval will be includ- ed in the Vichy Government without accept- ing Hitler's more drastic demands.

The Vichy correspondent of a Swiss newspaper declares that M. Darlan that Laval told Admiral
