Beyond argument is the fact that Chevrolet Trucks are the most popular trucks in the world to-day. There are two reasons why shrewd truck buyers choose Chevrolet with such consistency and regularity. The first is Depend- ability, the second is Economy.

TERMS

MILITARY OCCUPATION OF FRANCE FOR DURATION:

CONTINENTAL

BLOCKADE

FULL TEXT RELEASED: ITALY'S TERMS EXPECTED TO BE EQUALLY SEVERE

THE GERMAN TERMS FOR AN ARMISTICE WITH FRANCE WERE PUBLISHED THIS MORNING.

They are as severe as were anticipated.

Nevertheless, acting on instructions from Marshal Petain, head of the unconstitutional Government in Bordeaux, they have been signed by the French plenipotentiaries, and will become operative six hours after another Armistice agreement with Italy is signed. ITALIAN TERMS

It is expected that the Italian terms will be equally severe, and may even include immediate territorial concessions.

Further territorial concessions are certain to be demanded when the time comes for

France to sign the peace terms to be imposed by the two Totalitarian States. Briefly, Germany's terms envisage the immediate military occupation, for the duration of the war with Britain, of approximately half of France, including the entire Atlantic seaboard down to the frontier of Spain and Portugal. Italy is expected to occupy the remaining half. COMPLETE DISARMAMENT

France must completely disarm, and hand over all war materials and supplies to Germany.

The French Fleet is to be recalled and handed over to Italy and Germany "for disarmament and internment.".

France must join in a Continental blockade of Britain.

THE TEXT IN FULL
