U.S. RESISTS PRESSURE FOR SLAP AT VICHY
Roosevelt and Hull Against Break, Hope French May Eventually Revolt.
By WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS Times Foreign Editor
induce President Roosevelt and Secretary of State Cordell Hull to break with . Vichy, there is reason to believe they will not succeed. At least for the present. As indicated in his Armistice Day ‘address at Arlington yesterday, the President is known to be.convinced that, as time goes on, the dictators will find it increasingly hard to control the inhabitants of the invaded nations. “The very people under ‘their iron heel,” he said, “will, themselves, rebel.” It is held e that if the United States—the one remaining free democracy—adopted a policy’ calculated to make the victims of this oppression’ feel that we are no longer. their friends, it would play directly into the hands of the dictators. Daily, in one way or another, reports are reaching Washington of conditions in France and the other trampled countries.. These reports agree that feeling against the Germans is constantly growing more bitter. , War Is Not Walkover
At first, when Hitler believed. the war would be quickly over, the highly disciplined Nazi soldiers walked a chalk. They were told they were “on display,” and that they were to sell Nazi culture to the conquered nations. In Holland, a trooper who stole an apple was shot on the spot by his own officer. ' But the war is not the walkover that Hitler expected. Time is dragging and tempers are growing shorter. Discipline is relaxing on the Nazis and tightening up on the inhabitants. The soldiers are getting all the best food and the hungry people are having to foot the bill. And they like it less and less. Instead of rubbing it in on them, therefore, those who know these people best say the Administration should leave nothing undone that will make them see who their real friends are.
French Susceptible
The French are especially susceptible to sympathetic treatment at this time. Hitler is making them pay the costs of his war. He demands 50 billion francs quarterly for his army of occupation—much more, it is said, than it actually costs. Food is getting scarcer and prices higher for the inhabitants while the invaders get plenty at the expense of the people. All of which is burning the Frenchman up. This is the situation into which certain American groups would have the United States gratuitously thrust itself. The Vichy Government, they contend, is the tool of Berlin and its ministers and ambassadors abroad are serving as a “Nazi front.” They ask, therefore, that the Vichy envoys be sent home. Those who really know France and the French people are convinced that such an act would be emotional and shortsighted, to express it mildly. At present, it is observed, Marshal Petain is still resisting Berlin's demands as best he can under the circumstances.
Democracies May Need Friends
Unless he surrenders and allows France and her empire to be thrown into the fighting against Britain, for the United States to treat him and France worse than it treats Hitler and Germany would be poor statesmanship. And in the end, most likely, extremely eostly. For before this war is finished, the democracies may need every ounce of friendship they can muster wherever they can find it—in France, Poland, Norway, Finland, Denmark, Belgium, Holland and elsewhere. If the French Ambassador here were handed his passport, it is pointed out, the German, Italian and Japanese envoys would have to be given their also. Also all their consuls. And if Germany is sent packing, what about Soviet Russia, Germany’s partner in the war and sharer in the loot? Would we con-
Reich would not have dared move? Hull Is Cautious
Secretary Hull is one of the shrewdest men to head Uncle Sam's foreign-affairs department in a long time. He is aware of the campaign to bring about a break with Vichy. He knows, too, the emotional nature of some of the suspicions upon which the campaign seems to rest. Therefore, unless and until the Vichy Government gives some real substance to the charges, the beliet among seasoned observers here is that he will not act. He knows that the stakes are too high for premature gestures of simple displeasure.
DIES WHILE ON HIS | WAY TO HOSPITAL
Eighty-two-year-old Edwin Smith walked into the George Milliron Grocery, 3404 N. Keystone Ave., earlier than usual this morning. “You're -out early today,” Mrs. Milliron remarked to him. “Yes,” he replied. “I was on my way to the hospital and thought I could make it to the grocery.” Then he sat down. A moment later he collapsed and died. Police, ho investigated, were informed he ad been under treatment for a heart ailment, Mr. Smith, who lived at 3305 Baltimore Ave. was an oil salesman many years, but recently had had a newspaper route. He is survived by a son, Orville, living at 228 Dorman St., and a daughter living in Illinois. The body was taken to the Hamilton & Bishop Mortuary.

Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura « + « soon to be Japanese Ambassador to U. S. :
ADMIRAL KNOWN AS ‘G00D SPORT
Former Foreign Minister of Tokyo Will Be Named New Ambassador
TOKYO, Nov, 12 (U.” P.).—Admiral Kichisaburo Nomura, former Foreign Minister and a leading exponent of Japanese - Afherican friendship, is to be appointed Ambassador to the United States, it
was learned today. Nomura’s name had been mentioned for the post ever since the recall of Kensuke Horinouchi. He has been considered a friend of the United States and in Washington diplomatic circles is known as “a good sport.” Confirmation that Nomura has been chosen for the post came in the midst of conferences between United States Ambassador Joseph C. Grew and Foreign Minister osuke Matsuoka. Grew had a long talk with Matsuoka on Sunday. They reviewed the general situation, but concrete results of the conversation were not clarified. The Sunday conference was one of several held at Matsuoka’'s initiative, but formal proposals or a program were not discussed. It was expected, however, that addition conferences would be held..

IN WRONG LIHT, KENNEDY SAYS
Envoy Protests Story in Boston Globe, Claiming He Talked Off the Record.
NEW YORK, Nov, 12 (U, P.)— Ambassador Joseph P, Kennedy said ih a Tormal statement last night that an interview with him. published by the Boston Globe and distributed. nationally Saturday night “creates a different impression entirely than I would want to set forth.” Mr. Kennedy said that he -had received Louis M. Lyons of the Boston Globe and Ralph Coglan, editor of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, for an off-the-record conversation. The interview, as reported by Mr, Lyons, quoted Mr. Kennedy as say-| ing that “democracy is finished in England” and may be finished in the United States, and that the presence of “labor men” in the British Government “means national socialism is coming out of
it.” . . Cautioned Writer, He Says Kennedy's statement fol-
“I have read the interview tht I am supposed to have given to Louis M. Lyons of the Boston Globe. “When Mr, Lyons came to see me in Boston, I made it clear to him in the presence of Mr, Coglan and Mr. Edmondson of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch that I should be very happy to give them my thoughts off lhe record, but I would make no| statements that should be printed at this time. “In the week that I have been home, I have turned down all the many other newspapers and leading magazines which have sought interviews and articles. It was on this basis that our conversation proceeded. “Mr, Lyons made no notes during the visit. Whatever he wrote was entirely from memory.. Many statements in the article show this to be true because they create a different impression entirely than I would want to set forth.
Feels Code Violated
“He admits I said to him, ‘Well, I am afraid you didn’t get much of a story.” Of course, the reason I said that was that I assumed the entire conversation had been conducted on the basis of my original statement—that it was an off-the-record discussion. : “I consider this interview, regard~ less of the handling of the material, as the first serious violation of the newspaper code on an off-the-record interview that I have ever experienced. . “If I ever give out material touching such important questions I would certainly insist on checking it so that mistakes and inaccuracies might not be made.”
