British May Sell Out
Bucharest, Rumania, July TO-
(UP)-Reports that Britain was try
ing to dispose of her Rumanian oil
interests, valued at hundreds OF
millions of dollars, either to the
United States or Russia, caused
concern in German circles here to-
day.
It was reported that Germany had
informed the Rumanian government
that she must be consulted before
any British oil holdings changed
hands. and also that the Rumanian
cabinet had passed law preventing
the transfer of foreign oil proper
ties. ;,
American oil men said they had
been approached by Germans IN
curing whether Britain had offered
to sell them the Royal Dutch Shell
interests in Rumania. The attitude
of Americans was said to be that
while their own oil properties were
not for sale, they were not inter-
ested in increasing their holdings to
compete with German oil interests.
It also was doubted that the Bri-
fish could make satisfactory deal
with Russia on oil properties and
some observers pointed out that
Russia still had not paid for the OIL
properties she seized from the
foreign firms, including the Ameri-
can Standard Oil Co., after the
revolution of 1917.
A communique was issued after a
cabinet meeting last night saying
quiet reigns throughout Rumania
today" It added that the refugee
problem caused by Russia's seizure
of Bessarabia and North Bukovina
was being dealt with efficiently and
that the government had taken
measures to prevent congestion II

French fleet became a subordinate
matter not worth a serious quarrel
with Germany over armistice terms
Petain and Weygar1d must have rea-
soned that they had lived up to their
agreement with Great Britain when
they obtained German consent not
to use the French warships against
the British. A military victory any
where on land they believed impos-
sible after France capitulated and
that meant to them the certainty
that the Germans would win In the
end at sea. Why therefore bother
too much about the fleet?
Best Terms Possible
The French armistice negotiators
wanted the best terms possible ana
they did not wish to enrage the
Germans by allowing French war
ships to be used against Germany
after Frances surrender. Too, there
may have been resentment among
French generals who believed Brit
ish military help had been insuffi''
Gent.
But these reasons must surely
have been based on the French
theory that the Allies could have
won only by a smashing military
success: and since Gremany had
won on land, Hitler must certainly
win likewise on sea, regardless OF
what France might do. Obscessed
by this idea and having little knowl-
edge of the durability Of sea power
and the British temperament. Petain
and Weygand resigned themselves
to what they considered the Inc.
vitable.
French Logic Inexorable
French logic is memorable. II IL
starts from a false premise 1t fol-
flows through to the necessarily false
conclusion with undertaking consist
ency. Thus one may say the French
government did not order its fleet
into British ports before capitula-
ton because Of strictly logical reas-
oning based on the assumption that
the war was sure to be a total loss.
Indeed if the warships had been
given to Britain to add to British
strength against Germany the stu
alton would have been paradoxical,
from the French standpoint. 1t
would have meant Petain and Wey-
gand thought Britain might defeat
; Germany with French naval aid.
But, If they had thought that why
! then should France have surrend-
cred instead Of continuing the war
, from North Africa?
Petain and Weygand believed
otherwise. Hypnotized by German
military efficiency and the perfect
operation Of the blitzkrieg on land.
they regarded Hitler as invincible at
sea. SO, they tried to save all they
could for France In advance Of the
full debacle. But, as they failed
in their preparations for war, SO
there are limits to trusting their
J judgment about the final peace.
