if successful in their struggle, to
redeem the French nation from an
unprecedented defeat.
Gen. Weygand's policy doesn't
make any sense. Sooner or later, it
will have to be revised, one way or
the other Gen. Weygand and Gen.
Nogues, the high commissioner IN
French Morocco, badly need supplies
of every description in order to be
able to match their deeds to their
public declarations. They need sup
plies and they have sent some men
abroad to get them. For instance,
coal has been bought here for the
Moroccan railways. Obviously, those
supplies will not reach Morocco
unless the British naval authorities
decide to let them pass through the
blockade. But, assuming those au-
thOritieS show tolerance, Weygand'S
program safeguarding the French
Empire from all outside interference
will surely crumble if the British
Navy ceased to rule the Mediter-
ranean.
Two Sets of Considerations.
Of course, Gen. Weygand'S calcu-
lation is that Great Britain, even
if he treats her badly, must favor
rather than impede everything he
does. For instance, to hold in check
the 10000 Spanish troops massed
on the frontiers of French Morocco.
Nevertheless. the mere fact that the
whole of North Africa could not re-
main under the French tricolor If
the British blockade was vigorously
enforced or if the British Navy had
to be withdrawn to the Atlantic,
ought to set limits to Weygand's
freedom of movement toward Eng
land despite all the grave words
he can utter. However. those
who know him best have their
doubts, which can be accounted for
by two sets of considerations.
In the first place, Gen. Weygand,
by the side of Marshal Petain, was
the main promoter of the separate
armistice of June % and % with
Germany and Italy. His supposed
ly expert opinion, six months ago,
was that England could not fail to
succumb within a few weeks or a
few months. He exchanged bitter
words about it with Lord Lloyd, his
old friend. bitter words which will
stand between both men for the rest
of their lives.
When President Lebrun had re-
solved to go to North Africa on
June 81 and set up there a new gov
ernment to prosecute the war, Pierre
Laval was able to remind him that

alone we're entitled to say whether
the undertaking was within or be-
yond practical possibilities and that
they had pronounced themselves
against it, 1t may be inferred that
today Gen. Weygand does not feel
at liberty to break entirely with
that past.
Far-Reaching Steps.
There are far-reachlng steps
which the man who took them feels
he cannot retrace short of an in
tolerable loss of face. AS the spon-
sor of the two armistices, Weygand
is morally bound to execute them.
To this day their provisions have
not been fully disclosed. We know
that he didn't approve of the addi-
tional negotiation Laval started with
Germany last September But as to
the extent of the commitments he is
ready to indorse, we are in the dark.
The second point is Gen. Wey-
gand'S animadversion against every
thing connected with parliamentary
and democratic institutions de-
served to be stressed again. A Brit
ish victory could not fail to make
a clean sweep of the so-called re-
generation of France under the
Vichy patriarchate. An irresistible
wave would surge from the silenced
and scattered masses wherefrom
the parties of the Left once derived
their strength. The counter-revolu-
tionary forces Which had gathered
in France during the last 10 years
and turned to their own advantage
the military defeat in the spring
would be succeeded by other forces
OF different nature and the mill
tary commanders in the period
between the two wars, probably
brought to book. incidentally, such
vista makes ineligible the hate
shown to Gen. Charles de Gaulle,
let alone the bitter criticism so
long directed by the latter against
the general staff.
The use to be made of British
sea power in the case of French
North Africa is, therefore, a prob
lem over which the London cabinet
and its imperial staff are sure to
ponder during the next few weeks.
particularly if. meanwhile, the rout
of 1taly's military power has pro-
greSsed.

There is belief among Chin csc that if they eat enough turtle flesh they may live to become very old too. At least that's the story.
 One of the choicest items at the market, from a color" point of view, are the frog legs. Many Of them come all the way from Japan. The Japanese also send swordfish, huge frozen monsters, and despite the cost of transportation and trade barriers, they sell for just half the price of American swordfish. How ever. the American variety is called vastly superior in taste.

Two Thousand Men al Work Before , O'clock
 Every Morning
By GEORGE TUCKER

NEW YORK, June A hard bitten fishing schooner, fresh from | the Newfoundland Banks, thrust her nose into a berth along the South Street waterfront just after mid night this morning, and a landing crew went to work on her cargo. She carried 34000 pounds of cod ! fish in her hold.
 A stones throw away lay an- other schooner-thiS one from the Caribbean. To the left lay another, and another, from the Georgian Banks. from everywhere that fish are caught by men who dip down 1 into the sea with nets.
 These fish were being hauled to the oldest fish market in the western hemisphere a market that has been open for business every morning for more than 200 years. This is the famed Fulton Street Fish Market, where Al Smith worked as boy.
 More than one million and five hundred thousand pounds of fish are delivered to the Fulton Street market every day That's lot of fish. These fish are Florida mack erel and cod; they are sWordfish and founder they are lobster and rr,l,ifofich
 To handle these fish 2,000 men are at work in their stalls every morning before five o'clock. These men are employees of the New York FiShmongers Association. The mar ket itself is owned by the city of New York. Two huge stall-like buildings, a hundred yards each in length, house this vast store of sea food. These buildings are leased to the Fishmongers Association by the city
 It is from this point that the scallops and sole, like those you bought today, go out to thousands of retailers all over the city and all over the metropolitan area.
 Salt water fish aren't the only ones handled here, for sweet wa ] ter fish from the great lakes, and great steel-head salmon from the Oregon rivers, still silver and gleaming, are brought in by boat and by train.

the mackerel. They used to be known as Spanish mackerel. But after the Spanish Civil war peo- pie began to boycott most goods with Spanish name. Fishermen promptly began calling them Flor ida mackerel-and the sales at once mounted to their normal level.
 The most impreSsionable item about the Fulton Street menagc to strangers is the odor. People say they can smell Fulton Street six months after being there. Perhaps that is true. Men who work there tell me they never notice the smell of fish until they are away from it. Then they are uncomfortable; life doesn't seem normal without the heavy, pun gent odors that are a part of their daily surroundings.
