Paris, Oct 9.-(AP)-French mill

Units Of the French tank corps
were given credit for turning back

it is the policy of His Majesty's gov
eminent to publish in due course of
time and Jointly with the French
government specific statement of
war aims based on principles already
enunciated."
Ellis Majesty's government and the
French government are in complete

replied. 'TheSe purposes have more

both governments will consider
whether their war aims should be
stated in more specific FORM"
Chamberlain said that Henderson
may take it that amy such statement
will be made only by agreement be-

with one of Adolf Hitler's declara-

plans for negotiations with the
smaller Baltic states for immediate
transfer Of German blood resi-
dents to some section Of the Reich.
The chief difficulty appeared to
be the question Of how to recon-

transfer their assets without en-
