The message" published In the
French press on October 10. under
the name of Marshal Petain is un-
doubtedly the most important diplo-
matte step taken to this day by the
Vichy government. 1t may be at
tended by important consequences
which the men who drafted the
document did not foresee.
Interpreted literally, the message
meant that the Vichy government
had resolved to change drastically
the foundations of Frances foreign
policy. that it would no longer strive
to bring about or to uphold or re-
establish in Europe a balance of
power (Which necessarily implies CO.
operation with England and. as far
as possible, with the United States)
but would henceforward renounce
the traditional friendship with those
two countries and recognize forever
the overlordship Of the German
Empire.
OF course, what the Vichy govern
ment proposes to do in the near
future is of no Importance what
ever, since the French nation is
PROSTATE and thoroughly helpless.
But the serious point Is that the
government of Vichy should pledge
itself and its successors to be at the
beck and call of the victoria gesture
of moral demission which neither
vanquished France in 1871 nor van
pushed Germany in 1919. even in
the full depth OF their distress,
agreed to do.
Purpose Was Obvious.
The purpose Marshal Petain and
his advisers had in mind when the
above decision was reached is fairly
obvious. They wanted to ingratiate
themselves to Germany, to persuade
her to grant various demands which
had been firmly refused to them
during the last two months and, with
that end in view, to be admitted to
a kind of partnership with Berlin
and Rome. in very humble rank,
indeed, by the side OF Spain, Ru-
mania and other servile states.
Already there is definite evidence
that the Vichy rulers have been
disappointed in their expectation.
Marshal Petain's message has not
been favorably received in Berlin.
Chancellor Hitler and the men
around him do not deem it oppor-
tune to promote France to the dig
nifty of an associate of the axis.
They want France to serve their
own will with the absolute paSSivity
of corpse and would regard 1t as
dangerous to let her resume any
freedom of movement even within
very narrow bounds.
But while Vichy met with dis
appointment on the German side,
it has begun to dawn upon 1t that
a train of thought had been set in
motion on the American side which,
sooner or later, might involve a re-
vision of this country's policy
toward France So far, Marshal
Petain has been credited here with
the will to accomplish whatever he
could to redeem Frances independ-
ence; such is the reason why a
diplomatic representation has been
continued. Were Marshal Petain to
behave in a different manner-that
is, in accordance with the gist Of
his "message"-other views might
prevail.
In order to ward of that danger,
the officials of the Ministry Of For
eign Affairs in Vichy have tried to
explain away the statement of the
old soldier, and a close friend has
joined in the endeavor. All have
said that the reputation Of the
entente cordiale" with England
had been contemplated. but that

had avoided taking them into his

CASTOR Bergery bears all respon-
sibility for the wording of the doc
ument. His personality clearly ap-
pears In the phrase where it Sid,
rather demagogically, that in the

When Bergery was elected to
Parliament, his opponent produced
two wills of a Freiherr Won Kaula,
a German subject of great wealth,
who was interested in the Mercedes
Co, motor car builders. CASTOR
Bergery and his mother were the
chief benefciaries under those wills,
and it was alleged that he was Won
Kaula's son. Gergery took proceed
ings for libel and won his case;
under French law, to obtain damages
it is necessary only to prove that
the intention to cause moral harm
has really existed.
The Vichy government may be re-
lied upon to exert itself to safeguard
in the United States a minimum of
good will, and 1t ought not to ignore
any longer that all its endeavors to
discriminate between England and
America are doomed to failure. OF
late it has refrained from approach
ing Washington whenever 1t wants
to obtain some limited relaxation of
the British blockade. Occasionally
it rather applies to Generalissimo
Francisco Franco for that kind of
assistance-and,b by the way, there is
trustworthy authority for the report
that conversations, initiated in
Madrid between Sir Samuel Hoare,
the British Ambassador, and the
French naval attache were at the

British Admiralty to the six French
warships which went through the
Strait of Gibraltar without being
interfered with and turned the scale

No servant stayed here after midnight unless by special orders, so he knew he was quite alone.

He took down one labeled "Blaine's Compound. for Muscular Ailments and Bruises; External Use Only" He carried the bottle to his desk, opened it and dipped pen in it and began to write on an ordinary penny poS,card.
