(From the French Frontier)

THE PRELIMINARY. Franco-German Peace Treaty, which it is believed Hitler had originally planned should take place fór pró-- paganda purposes within the framework of a big peace conference, has not yet received the official signature of the heads of the Ger- man and Vichy Governments.

.

According to political observers the plans for this conference, which was favoured by Ribbentrop, the Nazi Foreign Minister, Otto Abetz, German Ambassador to France, and de Brinon, French envoy to occupied France, have been given up owing to opposition by Admiral Darlan.

An agreement in principle, how- ever, as previously foreshadowed. has been drawn up on the follow- ing lines:-

German annexation of Alsace- Lorraine:

Integrity of the French colonies; Compensation for France by ob- taining later the Walloon districts of Belgium and British West African colonies:
