FOOD FOR DUCE IN

FRANCE

Darlan's Warning

Vichy, Mar. 10.

The Premier, Admiral Darlan, in the presence of Marshal Petain, lold American correspondents to-day that he would order the French feet to escort foodships unless Britain show- ed more comprehension of the serious food-situraBon in France. However, he stented reports that he had airendly ordered such escort,

Simultaneously he announced that another French freighter had been seized by the British south of Cape town, making the 14th since January and 18th since the arinistice,

Admiral Darlan said that he had notified Admiral Leahy, the American Ambassador, of the acute food situn- tion. He said that the British at- tempt to starve Germany was ineffec- tive as was shown by Germany re- leasing 2.000,000 of her 270,000,000 quintals to France.

He did not intend to protect food- ships for the next two weeks, after which he would be forced to do so In order to prevent the starvation of 40,000,000 French.United Press.

Supplies For Children

Vichy, Mar. 10. The American Ambassador, Ad- miral Leahy, to-day issued a state- ment announcing the arrival of the third foodship within three weeks, but did not state whether It was bringing oatmeal which the British Government refused to allow.

Admiral Leahy declared.The

Government arranged recently that an American Red Cress ship, which the British Government agrees to allow to pass through the blockade, should bring to France some bally needed supplies for children and the sick. I am most happy that the ship Cold Harbour, carrying milk, vila- mins, drugs and clothing for tribution through the American Red Cross to French children has arrived at Marseilles and in less than three weeks' time another Red Cross vessel will arrive with additional quantities of foodstuffs, clothing and medical supplies..

"These supplies are the gift of ine American people to the people of France-and-are symbole of their sympathy for France in ner hour of need and of their friendship,. It is my sincere hope that it may be possible to send Increasing quantities of supplies to be distributed among the civilian population in unoccupied France."-United Press.
