Vichy And Spain Reject Bait Hitler Trailed Across Europe
·
ZURICH, Nov. 1 (Reuter).-Expectations of an early settlement between France and the Axis have evaporated.
This widespread conviction in well-informed circles proves the aptness of the old French proverb, "Jamais deux sans trois,” for it is already thought that Hitler's wheedling of General Franco has miscarried and many are doubtful whether Musso- lini's bolt in Greece has not misfired.
The Vichy correspondent of the "La Suisse" telegraphs that now that the proposed basis of Italy's insistence on the fulfil ment of her territorial claims,

that the scope of the Franco- German negotiations is limited
to alleviation of the Armistice terms.

"Le Temps" writes: "I would be an insult to the French people if cer- tain material alleviations weighed down the scales in order to facilitate the acceptance of concessioris."
On the same side of the picture is placed General Weygand's signed article in the Moroccan press, affirm ing that Marshal Petain's government wil make no concession harmful to French honour and interests.
Nevertheless the suppression of dissident elements in France proceeds rapidly.

Other Matches
NOTHER match of interest during the week-end will be that between Sing Tao and Royal Scots to-morrow. The Chinese will have to show a very much improved form if they expect to win. Royal Scots' supporters are confident that they will give the Chinese a good run for their money after their display against the Royal Navy. The Chinese should just about make it.
Kowloon and Middlesex are both playing better than at the beginning of the season, and this match should also prove to be an interesting affair with the odds slightly in favour of two lowly the Army. team. The placed teams, Club and Police are also at grips, and it will not be surprising to me to see Club taking the two points; although it must be admitted that the guardians of the law have always proved to be a very formidable combination.
Navy entertains Kwong Wah to- | morrow at Causeway Bay, and good match should be seen. Although Navy are reputed to have a strong team, nevertheless, as a team they are not very impressive. The lack of combination is their most gloring fault. Individually, they are good.
