Raises Limits OF Old Law

Ancestral Estates

VICHY, France, July 21.-R-
The French government borrowed
a leaf from Adolf Hitler's N a z j
law book today by raising the linn
it's of an ancient Napolionic law
designed to keep intact ancestral
estates.
By decree, the Petain regime
boosted from 200, 900 francs to 400,
900 francs (about $4,000 to $4,000
the limit of ''indivisible" property
which means that homesteads with
a value up to the latter figure can
not be split up in wills and prop
erty endowments.
The owner of country property.
for instance, must upon death
leave that property in this amount
intact, even if several children
share in his will.
This rule, similar to one Hitler
put into effect in Germany soor
after his rise to power, is expected
to encourage Frenchmen to remair
on their fmily property.
Under the Hitler law of Oct. 2
1888, creating an "Aryan peasan'
class" small land owners r vir
tually forbidden from selling or di
viding their ancestral holding:

HALIFAX MAY AIR
BRITAIN'S STAND
London's Reply To Ger
many's Peace Ultimatum'
May Be Given Tonight

LONDON, July 22.-(Monday) -
(R-Britain's reply to Adolf Hit
ler's peace ultimatum,' already
prefaced by reflections in press and
radio, may be made tonight IN a
radio broadcast by Foreign Sec
rotary Lord Halifax.
The broadcast was scheduled Tor
9:15 pm. t3:15 pm, EST Mon
day before Hitler made his Reich
stag speech of last Friday, t
diplomatic observers assumed that
Halifax would take advantage OF
this opportunity to site Brltalns
case to the world.
The exact time and nature OF
any British response, however, was
expected to be decided by Prime
Minister Churchill in a C a binet
meeting today.
That the British government
would make some kind OF reply
early this week was considered GER
tain. If Halifax should not be as.
signed to do so, Churchill himself
might make a statement to the
house of commons Tuesday.
The press and radio already have
rejected Hitler's offer of peace on
his terms, and this unanimous re-
lection was backed up by com.
ments of the traditional m%an-in-the
street.
The British broadcasting cor
poration, foreshadowing the official
rejection, stated last night in a
broadcast to Germany:
"Our reason, national streng-
tn, our feeling of honor and justice
and wi sense of responsibility 70
he world demand that we fight
with all our might for the freedom
which you wish to destroy" !

The army air corps would

Approval Of the appropriation
is expected, but action prob
ably will be deferred until next
week. Both senate and house
leaders have agreed upon a
series of recesses this week to
enable lawmakers to recuper-
ate from the political conven-
tons.

action on a proposed SIS, OO0,-

Although the nature of the prl-

it was believed that Hull was fol-

Laredo Bru mentioned no Europ-
