French Cabinet Shift
Surprise, Nozis Soy
BY LOUIS P. LOCHNER.

Associated Press War Correspondent.
BERLIN, Dec 16.-Until the Ger
man government has full informa-
ton concerning the purpose, inten-
tlonS and effect of the change in
Frances foreign ministry, the Ger
man press will not even carry the
news of Vice Premier Pierre Laval's
resignation, authorized sources said
today.
They reported that the French
cabinet change came as a surprise
and asserted that a special reason
for Germany'S reserve lay in the fact
that France had made a truce with
Germany, but that peace had not
yet been established
tVichy reports Saturday said
Adolf Hitler had been informed
of the cabinet change in a per-
sonal massage from French Chief
of State Philippe Petain several
hours before it was announced
publicly and that Berlin had semi
officially approved the selection
of Pierre-Etienne Flandin to re-
place M. Laval as foreign MIN
ister)
France. authorized German sources
said, is country largely occupied
by German troops The change in
the Foreign Ministry, they said, may
or may not decisively affect Ger
French relations. They sug-
gested it was useless at this point
to speculate.
Authorized sources said anybody
who ventured conjecture on the
effect of Pierre -Etienne Flandin's
appointment on French-German re-
lations was manufacturing news
without basis of fact.
When asked concerning the per-
sonality of M. Flandin as it seemed
to German official eyes. the sources
replied that they could not COM

ever, not to believe the English
thesis that wedge could be driven
between Germany and Italy.

If this war should ever reach the

is SHIPS, due to the surprise sprung
by the Germans in playing such

of fact, this problem has been ap.

thing which was not accomplished
in the last war-Was not anticipated.
But these dispatches a year ago
pointed out that the biggest need OF
the British before the war was over
would be ships--ships to carry vital
supplies and foodstuffs to Britain.
The British planning Tor the emer-
gency was far from perfect. II
seems, Tor example. that after Mu-
Mich something should have been
done to get more acres in Britain to
producing foodstuffs. 1t was re-
vealed by the London Times some
time back that there were more
than 5000, 900 acres which had been
producing food toward the end OF
the last war which were NOT pro-
ducing food this time.

WASHINGTON.-It seems prob
able now that this government will
be giving Britain credits indirectly,
or by going round Robin Hood $
barn in order to avoid violating the
johnson or neutrality acts, before
the direct onslaught is made in con-
gress to clear the way to straight
out loans.
Despite the emphatic declaration
Of Secretary OF the Treasury Henry
Horgenthau Jr. that the $100, 0O0. 900
loan to China is not a precedent.
it may well turn out to be a pat
tern, the eventual following Of which
will result in technically indirect but
actually very direct loans to Britain.
There is already scheme on foot

the sale of beef and grain from the
Argentine Republic to Britain. This
would be worked out, assuming it
is approved. in this fashion. Ar
gentina would ship 500, OOO, 200
worth OF beef and grain to Britain.
She would then have a credit for
that amount in London.
Uncle Sam is anxious to make
goodwill loans in South America,
SO he lends Argentina 500. ZOO, 600.
As collateral for this loan, Jesse
Jones, if it is RFC money that is
to be used, or Henry Morgenthau.

ployed. takes that credit Argentina
has in London.
ENGLAND RECEIVES CREDITS
So the whole thing winds up this
way. London has 500, 0O0, 900 worth
OF needed supplies. Argentina has
sold 500, 900 900 worth of exports she
was anxious to sell. Uncle Sam
has a note for 500, 900, 900 given
him by the Argentine, secured by
British endorsement. Which, OF
course, means merely that John
Bull owes Uncle Sam $lOo, 900, 900.
Some color is given to the reason

sort of thing will be done by the
pains taken by the administration
to gain approval on Capitol Hill for
