| | Faces Difficult Task Trying To Prove Germany Won't Get Relief Food.

By BRUCE CATTON Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, Sept. 19.—Gaston Henri-Haye, the new, smooth, English-slinging French Ambassador, has been sent to this country by the Petain Government to sell America two bills of goods: I. That France will starve unless generous America comes to the rescue and that this generosity will not inure to the benefit of Hitler in his . war on Britain. 2. That the Government he represents is not a Nazi Government, nor a mere puppet of the : conquering Ger- ¢ mans. As to the first— unfortunately for Henri-Haye — caARG bles recently 1-Hav printed here set HentisHave forth that Germany had made a formal demand upon the Petain Government for a substantial part of the food and raw materials in unoccupied France and for a goodly part of what France may be able to import in the future. Of course this was denied. Won't Stand Scrutiny

The second idea the Ambassador wants to sell America will also not bear much scrutiny. Almost every move his Government has made has been plain imitation of Nazi methods. Without a vote of the people, republican parliamentary government was wiped out. Just as Hitler grabbed the fortunes of refugees, so has the Petian Government. Imitating Hitler and Mussolini, Petain’s Government has made a pretty good start at putting anti-Semitic doctrines into practice. Moves have been started to squelch the trades union movement. The men who are gathering at Vichy and throwing their weight about as people of influence with the Petain government are the same kind who ruled France and perpetrated the Capt. Dreyfus tragedy —a, clique of army men, faded aristocrats and rich reactionaries. But the most revelatory thing of all is the detention of Marshal Gamelin, former Premiers Daladier and Reynaud and former Minister of the Interior Georges Mandel. Tha voice may be the voice of Petain, but the febrile hand that pulls the strings is that of Adolf Hitler. Petain and his crowd may want scapegoats for France's overwhelming defeat, but Hitler wants victims.

Look at the Record

Kurt von Schuschnigg, last Chancellor of the Austrian republic, wanted to preserve his country’s independence. When Hitler grabbed Austria, the first thing he did was to make Schuschnigg a prisoner for the high crime of trying to resist the plans of the German dictator. Schuschnigg is still in prison. It has been suggested that Petain and his cabinet are helpless in all these matters, but it comes to the same thing whether the government is a Nazi model or a Nazi

The Justice Department's Immigration Service agreed to accept responsibility for disposition of the aliens when they reach New York.
