The committees selection quickly
followed recommendation of Bos-
ton by the Board of Directors, which

No Notice of Break
Received in London

LONDON, July 5 (P.-London
diplomatic circles said today the
British government had no advance
intimation of the French intention
to break of relations with Great
Britain.
The French Embassy said shortly
before noon 6 am, E. S. T0 that
it had no confirmation of the Petain
government action.
1--WE are still carrying on" an
embassy official said.
Up to the same hour, it was
learned, the British government had
received no protest from the French
Embassy over the action of the Brit
ish Navy against the French fleet.
The German radio, in a broad
cast heard here, said the French
government in Vichy issued the fol-
lowing statement on breaking off
diplomatic relations with England:
THE French cabinet had meet
ing under the presidency of Presi-
dent Lebrun yesterday.
After having heard an account
of the unqualified attack by the
British fleet at Oran against the
French units and after having paid
high tribute to the heroism of the
French fleet, the cabinet decided
to break off diplomatic relations
with England"
BERLIN, July 5 P).-Authorized
German sources today termed the
French governments severance of
relations with Britain "the only
thing that any government with a
feeling of decency and regard for its
political existence could do"
These circles pointed with pro-
fessed satisfaction to what they
termed the comment of the entire
civilized world branding as a crime
the action against the French fleet
at Mers El-Kebir ordered by the
Churchill government.
Since an official text was not in
their hands, they declined comment
on the statement of Chairman Pitt
man of the United States Senate
Foreign Relations Committee that
every patriotic American citizen"
would applaud Prime Minister
Churchill upon his wisdom and
courage in preventing use of the
French navy by Hitler"
Premier Marshal Henri Philippe
Petain of France is expected to
reply to Mr.. Churchill for what the
Berlin press termed "Churchill's
cowardly raid on Frances fleet"
News of Petain's intention to issue
a statement came in a dispatch from
the new seat of French government
at Vichy, France. which added that
the Premier would outline Frances
future attitude toward Britain.

given primacy in the Republican
platform adopted in Philadelphia"
Mr.. Draper declared that while
things look bad in the world today,
we are not necessarily lost"
Perhaps the baptism Of fire
threatening to destroy us will purify
us and make us strong" he told the
teachers. II confidently believe that
more people in the United States
today are giving attention and seri-
Gus thought to fundamental prob
lens than at any other time since
the founding of the republic" He
also lauded and outlined the achive-
ments Of the Roosevelt administra-
ton.
Preparedness Proposal.
Before and after an elaborate pro-
gram Of entertainment by the Ha-
waiian delegation, the educators
went on record as:
Advocating such preparedness as
will make the United States fully
able to defend itself without
injuring youth by interrupting nor
NAL and necessary educational serv-
ices;
Condemning subversive propa-
ganda which seeks to undermine our
democratic ideals; and
Urging the continuation and ex-
pansion of all programs of action
which will promote inter-Amer-
ican friendship"
Other resolutions called for the
selection Of teachers according to
merit and not according to place of
residence" and the administration
through the United States Office of
Education of all educational activi-
ties promoted and financed by the
Federal Government.
William G. Carr, secretary of the
Education Policies Commission,
Washington, presenting the "educa-
tion and economic well-being" hem
inar report. told the delegates that
State and Federal Governments
should appropriate funds ito lessen
the inequalities of education, and
provide vocational guidance for all"
Youth should be removed from
the labor market by fixing the
school-leaving age at 49," Mr.. Carr
declared.

the main with this, added that
five destroyers, some submarines
and some smaller vessels escaped
along with the battleship-of
the Strasbourg class.
The British fleet opened fire on
the French vessels after Admiral
Gensoul failed to accept the British
ultimatum, which called for agree
ment upon one Of the following
alternatives:
l. Sail with the British and fight
against Germany and Italy.
2. Sail under British control to a
British port.
8. Sail to the Wetsern Hemisphere
for internment.

it said, had been given both to MI.
Churchill and A. v. Alexander, first
lord of the British Admiralty.
THE French Admiralty has the
painful feeling that the misfortunes
OF France left English rulers un-
moved, they thinking only of be-
coming masters of the French fleet
which must remain French or per-
ish," the communique continued.
The French Navy did not, in any
case, deserve to be stabbed in the
back on the order of Churchill who,
last winter, implored the French
Admiralty to lend its principal
forces to protect Canadian ships be-
cause the British Admiralty's forces
had no longer the necessary means.

the President said there had been

each case on the matter of actual
location.
Trinidad Decision Delayed.
There has been some difficulty, he
said. in deciding location Of the
Trinidad base because the island is
so large. Delay at Bermuda. he
continued, has been caused largely
by desire to interfere as little as
possible with the favorite habits of
American tourists.

gressional approval of the Presi-
dents plan for American financing
of the construction of great stores
of munitions and their subsequent
leasing to Britain. Opposition, he
predicted, probably will come only
from the minority already on rec
ord as hostile to administration
foreign policies.
The Associated Press reported
other legislators as favoring a go
slow" approach on this idea, and
there was renewed talk today that
Congress should hold inquiries to
determine whether Britain needed
such help and also to fix the facts
of the defense program progress at
home.
