SWANSEA BLITZ | WAR'S HEAVIEST

5 German Attack Stiffens ~ Backs, Brings Terrible ~. Glint to Eyes. By HELEN KIRKPATRICK

and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. "LONDON, Feb. 25.—After three nights of pretty solid hammering and 86, hours of intensive rescue work, Swarisea, in Wales, ought to be able to claim to be the heaviest blitzed city of the war. “This Welsh city of 170,000 spent {ts Sunday to the sound of ambulance gongs and the hammer of pick axes, as workers strove to dig out bodies and rescue those who might still be alive under the wreckmge of hundreds of little houses. After months of .itnensive raiding, .@mergency services now have been 80 perfected that practically all the feeding in Swansea yesterday was done from mobile canteens and in hastily” contrived, but efficiently Tun, community centers.

VICHY-BERLIN

Petain’s Cabinet Cut to 5; French Interest Stressed In Selections.

By PAUL GHALI Copyright. 1941, by The Indianapolis Times and The Chicago Daily News, Inc. VICHY, Feb. 25-—Reorganization of the entire I'rench Cabinet, announced today, marks the end—at least as far as the French are concerned—of the lull in Franco-Ger-man relations which followed the ouster of | Vice Premier-Foreign Minister Pierr¢ Laval last DecemHer. : Marshal Petain’s cabinet is now

of state, who are merely department heads. Tliese ministers are Admiral Jean Darlan, Gen. Charles Huntziger, Yvés Bouthillier, Joseph Barthelemy ancl Pierre Caziot. In the new organization the chief of state, Marshal Henri Petain, has

thought more about forming a strong government able to follow and impose the collaboration policy and give France a sound administration than to select friends of Germany, He himself retains full powers and has definitely refused Laval’s and his friends’ suggestions that he become a mere figurehead.

Ignores German Hints

Furthermore, Petain has ignored German hints concerning the departure of ‘“niarked men” such as Labor Minister Rene Belin, Jacques Chevalier, and Education Minister Caziot. : In the new setup the only newcomers are: Prof. Jerome Carcopino, 4s Minister of Education and Pucheu as Secretary of State and Industrial Production. Clarcopino, the highest French authority on Roman history, was for years the director of Villa Medicis, Rome. After the incidents in Paris on Nov. 11, when students were arrested by the Ger-

| mans, Carcopiio, who had been ap-

pointed dean of the Paris University, successfully restored order. The ‘most Important feature of the new setup is the grouping of ministries ‘under the control . of three men. Admiral Darlan retains, in addition t¢ the vice premiership, the Navy, foreign affairs and interior portfolios, and continues to be France's Ni. 2 man.

Huntziger Controls Army

Gen. Huntziger controls the Army, education anid colonial ministries. Bouthilier becomes head of a big concentration--finances, labor, industrial production and communications, a heavy ‘burden for one small man, Two delegations will represent Vichy in Paris, thus reducing the job of Ferinarid de Brinon. Barnaud, a specialist in the distribution of raw materials, has been ‘appointed French negoliator of economic relations with Germany, which means that Vichy intends to pursue to the greatest extent possible, economic collaboration oration with with -Germany.

BRITON SAYS DUCE LOSES 1000 PLANES

LONDON, Feb. 256 (U, P.).—Air Minister Sir Archibald Sinclair claimed todsy that 1000 Italian planes—half the first line air strength with which Italy entered the war—have keen destroyed in the Mediterrenean war theater. Sinclair asserted that 90 German dive-bombers' were destroyed in three days in January when Nazi mass air aftacks were launched against Malta. | “After that,” (he said, “it’ was some little time before they came back again.” Sinclair | ssid and the air arm:of the Royal Navy had been inflicting greater damage upon the air forces of Germany and Italy than the Axis air fleets had been able to cause.

EXPECT U. S. TO DENY INDO-CHINA PLANES

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25 (U, P.). —Authoritdtive ' sources predicted today that the Uniteq States would not furnish warplanes to strengthen Trench Indo-China in its dispute with Thailand and Japan. A dispatel: from Vichy yesterday said the ¥rench Government had asked U. &. Ambassador William D. Leahy to transmit to Washington a request for American aircraft for the defense bf Indo-China. Informed quarters said this Government has no intention of sending planes to the French Far Eastern possession because more than 100 ‘American-made aircraft “are rotting on the beaches” at Martinique, French island in the Caribbean. They were unloaded there after being caught on the high seas, en route to France, when that country | capitulated to Germany last spring, Germany is reported to have refused to permit their transfer.

E. INDIES STAND UP TO JAPAN

Tokyo’s Tactless Talk Puts

Mission on Spot; Agenda Is Spurned.

By A. T. STEELE

BATAVIA, Feb. 25.—None of Japan’s recent political and military maneuvers have ‘weakened in the slightest the firm stand of the Netherlands East Indies in the negotiations here with a Japanese economic mission. Although the Dutch have made it amply clear that the Japanese agenda—which is fraught with political implications—is ‘quite unacceptable in the form it has been proposed, they nevertheless are continuing the talks on concrete matters of a purely economic nature. It is pointed out here that whether fan ultimate agreement is possible depends entirely upon whether the Japanese are willing to back down from their impossible original

position and make a straight busie ness deal wholly divorced from political considerations. This is the rock on which the conversations floundered several weeks ago. Since resumption of the talks last week, the Japanese have shown what the Dutch call greater will ingess to be reasonable, though there are still many obstatles ahead. Perhaps the unhappiest persons in Java at present are the members of the Japanese delegation, who are being repeatedly put on the spot by Tokyo's tactlessness. It seems that whenever the conversations get going on an amicable basis, Japanese Foreign Minister Yosuke Mate suoka, or one of his underlings, makes a speech or statement which gets under the sensitive Dutch skin. Typical of such unfortunate eruptions are Matsuoka’s on the relationship between the Dutch Gove ernment in London and the Neth erlands East Indies. Two things on which the Netherlands Indies authorities know their mind is the absolute loyalty of Queen Wilhelmina and sympathy with the Brit ish cause in the war against Germany RD irallan reinforcement of Singapore has had a salutary influence here, although that move obviously was made chiefly with an eye to the situation in Thailand and IndoChina,
