Italy Looks to Colonies

Italy looked: to. the French Colonial . possessions. Italian troops will halt: on their advaneed lines in eastern France as of the moment when: fighting ceased, but for the duration of the armistice France is to: demilitarize a :30-mile zone beyond the Italian line of occupation. In the French colonies there is to to be a demilitarized zone in Tunisia bordering Italian Libya, and Algeria, to ‘the south, where the zone will be 125 miles deep. Djibouti, chief town of French Somaliland, and Italy will have the right to use its harbor and the railroad which runs from Djibouti to Addis Ababa, Ethiopia. French naval and air bases at Toulon,. Bizerta, Tunisia, Adaccio, Corsica and Oran, Algeria, also are to be demilitarized. These, and provisions for the “docking” of thé French fleet at specified ports, were the essence of the axis powers’ armistice terms to beaten France. :

Resistance Rumors Persist

Whether the ambitious terms of the -Italian-French- armistice would be ‘fully realized still was to be determined, however. British reports as*wel as statements by the new French “national committee” set up

in London indicated the possible re~

sistance by the French Near East and African armies. It was reported that Gen. Auguste Nogues, ® military commander of French Government had advised him that France's African colonies would not be abandoned without a fight. At Gibraltar, French refugees reported that French submarines still were patrolling the western Mediterranean and that they did not intend to capitulate.

Fleet Still a Problem

The whereabouts of the French fleet was not disclosed. Germany and Italy, under’ their armistice agreements, received French Government guarantees that the warships would be sent back to home ports and demobilized. The Germans and Italians promised that the French fleet would not be wused| against Britain and that they would not claim the French Navy after the war. The British put little faith in the promise. At the time of the armistice German armies occupied nearly twothirds of France. Under the treaty, they will control about half. The German line of ‘occupation will be from a point near Geneva, on the French-Swiss border, northwest through Dole, Parayle-Monial and Bourges, to a point 12! miles east of Tours. From there the line will run southward along the ToursAngouleme - Libourne Railroad through Mont-de-Marsan and Orthez to the Spanish frontier.

Wording Is Vague

It was considered possible that German troops already were in possession of the unspecified area along the French Channel and Atlantic Coast which Hitler wants to make permanent German territory. The text of the German armistice terms said the occupation would be “only to an extent absolutely necessary.” There was ‘no indication of the

meaning of the term “necessary.”

U. S. ATTITUDE 1 GUIDES HITLER

Warships Is Made With Eye on Our Moves.

‘By J. W. T. MASON:’ United Press War Expert .The official versions of the German and Italian armistice terms contain one clause that seems to

have been formulated for-its effect

on the United States. In the naval section of the armis-

.|tice agreement both Germany and : Italy give assurances that they will

make no elaims for possession of the Prench war fleet when final peace terms are

“discussed.” Such

a pledge has no precedent. A first - class power, hoping to win a war,

‘against nations

dominating the seas, would never ; agree in advance Mr. Mason to abandon right of seizure of the warships of its enemy without some exceptional reason. Germany Watching: U. 8S.

The government of Germany is observing very closely ®the attitude of the United States toward the war and the American agitation for preparedness. Arguments: in the United States that there will be a German offensive in the Western Hemisphere if Germany wins mastery over Europe are well known to Hitler. Especially is he familiar with feeling in the United States concerning possible developments if Germany gains possession of the French and British fleets after the war and unites them with his own and with Italian sea power. Hitler has a special bureau attached to his personal staff which keeps him informed of all such international trends. Hitler's diplomatic strategy has been much su-

‘perior to the Hohenzollern’s in the

World War. “Reacts to Public. Opinion By repudiating in advance any intention of acquiring the French Navy, and by persuading Mussolini to take similar action, Hitler has begun what might be called a diplomatic counter-offerisive against Western Hemisphere uneasiness over Germany's post-war naval strength. He is handicapped by the small respect which world public opinion shows for the paper promises of statesmen. But, at the same time, the naval pledge to France indicates

% |a realistic appreciation by Hitler

of the necessity for showing a cautious hand in planning German world policy should Hitler dominate the peace conference. The leniency of Italy’s armistice terms indicates Mussolini is working to persuade France's North African colonial armies not to continue the war. : Had the Italian conditions included military occupati of the French North African oast in the way that Germany is to occupy the French Atlantic coastline, the probability of active resistance by the French colonials would have been much increased.

Mussolini Held Back

It would have added considerably to Italy’s Mediterranean strength against Great Britain if the French African littoral could be used as basic areas of operation by Italian warships. Mussolini has foregone this advantage, however, although his navy needs every possible advantage along the south Mediterranean coast if the Italians are to make good their claim fo domination of “our sea.” ; It is doubtless on Hitler's advice that Mussolini has shown such restraint not only concerning North Africa but also regarding the nonoccupancy of the Mediterranean coast of Continental France. Here, too, the Italian Navy coflld have found opportune bases; but any expansion of Italian Mediterranean striking power at ‘present would stimulate French colonial tendencies to resist.

Mussolini to do what they can to restrain by cautious means French

realize as does Hitler that everything for which they hope depends not on the French armistice terms but on the coming battle against

If the President is transferring he fleet to the Canal Zone or to

Mining of Canal approaches was announced by Brig. Gen. Jacob Devers, commandant of the Canal district. He also revealed that heavy 14-inch guns on railroad mounting had been transferred to command the Atlantic: approaches.
