In WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2l.-Gas-
ton Henri-Haye,, the new, smooth,
English-slinging French ambassador,
has been sent to this country by
the Petain government to sell AM
erica two bills of goods:
THAT France will starve un-
less generous America comes to the
rescue and that this generosity will
not inure to the benefit of Hitler
in his war on Britain
THAT the government he repre-
sents is not NaZi government, or
a mere puppet of the conquering
Germans.
AS to the first-unfortunatel
for Henri -Haye- cables recently
printed here set forth that Ger
many had made formal demand
upon the Petain government for a
substantial part of the food and
raw materials in unoccupied France
and for a goodly part of what
France may be able to import in
the future. Of course this was de-
MED.
The second idea the ambassador
wants to sell America will also
not bear much security. Almost
every move his government has
made has been plain imitation of
Nazi methods. Without a vote of the
people, Republican parliamentary
government was wiped out.
ARMY CLIQUE
SURROUNDS PETAIN
Just as Hitler grabbed the for
tunes of refugees, so has the Petain
government. Initiating Hitler end
Mussolini, Petains government has
made a pretty good start at putting
anti-Semitic doctrines into prac-
tice
Moves have been started to
squelch the trades union movement.
The men who are gathering at Vichy
and throwing their weight about as
people of influence with the Petain
government are the same kind who
ruled France and perpetrated the
Captain Dreyfus tragedy clique
of army men, faced aristocrats and
rich reactionaries.
HITLER WANTS
VICTIMS
But the most revelatOry thing of
all is the detention of Marshal
Gamelin, former premiers Daladier
and Reynaud and former Minister
of the Interior Georges Mandel.
The voice may be the voice of Petain
but the febrile hand that pulls the
strings is that of Adolf Hitler. Pc
tain and his crowd may want scape-
goats for Frances overwhelming
defeat, but Hitler wants victims.
Look at the record:
Kurt Won Schuschnigg, last chan
cellor of the Austrian republic,
wanted to preserve his cowtry's
independence. When Hitler grabbed
Austria, the first thing he did was
to make Schuschnigg a prisoner for
the high crime of trying to resist
the plans of the German dictator.
Schuschnigg is still in prison.
When Nazi armies by stealth and
by treachery invaded Norway and
when King Haakon refused to come
to heel, Nazi aviators by Hitlers or
ders tried to capture him and. fail
ing that, to bomb him. Haakon
escaped the bombs and the Nazi
agents and got away to England.
1t has been suggested that Petain
and his cabinet are helpless in all
these matters. but it comes to the
same thing whether the govern
ment is a Nazi model or a Nazi
puppet. 1t does not represent the
freely spoken will of the Frerch
people-the people whose slogan for
$50 years had been-"Liberty, Equal
ity. Fraternity"

The freedom that we mean. began
to live on the Field of Runneymede;
it grew in the battles Cromwell won

its vitality was too strong to sue

to full size at Yorktown.
Many nations have sought that

held it for a while, only to revert

die under the caterpillar wheels
Of conquerors.

In Cleveland
'FomiIies Cooling or
In Pastor Dispute,
Councilman Says
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 23.-Lay lead
ers in the Holy Redeemer Catholic
Church, under interdict for refusal
to recognize new pastor, today
called meeting ito try to settle the
dispute in a peaceful manner"
Meanwhile, Archbishop Joseph
Schrembs announced the parishion-
ers who prevented installation Of
the pastor must make unqualified
submission" TO authority and fulfill
four other conditions to be absolved
Of the interdict.
I'VE would like to have a meet
ing with the archbishop to settle
the dispute peacefully" said Tony
Capasso, a church councilman. AT
the beginning all but three Of the
1900 families in the parish joined
IN the protest. They are cooling OH
now. They are faithful people.
Interdict Invoked Sunday.
Msgr. Floyd L. Begin, official of
the Cleveland Diocese, orally in
voked the interdict last Sunday at
the height OF a demonstration at
the East Side Italian American
Church.
Parishioners thronged before the
rectory entrance, defying so uni
formed policemen, and barred the
way OF the monSignor and the Rev.
Vincent Caruso, 35pastor- designate.
The interdict denies sacraments
and Sacramentals of the church to
all parishioners above IA years of
age except when in danger of death.
There are approximately 1,100 fami-
lies in the parish.
In the formal interdict published
today the archbishop declares those
responsible for resisting ecclesias-
tical authority" may be absolved
from personal interdict on five con-
ditions.
Five Conditions Listed.
They must Cd present themselves
to the prelate or his delegate, ca
make unqualified submission" in
writing to ecclesiastical and civil au-
thority, 90 be truly sorry for their
sin and promise to repair as far as
In them lies the scandal created by
their action" "a give information
usually sought in a parish census,
and 60 receive in writing evidence
of absolution and permission to con-
fess their sins "and be fully restored
to their rights as Catholics"
The prelate adds:
The purpose of this decree is not
revenge, since revenge is unknown
to the church of Christ; its purpose
is to lead erring children OF the
church lovingly back to their
Fathers House " We know that
all thinking Italians join us in re-
senting the disgraceful scandal
created by the deliberate interfer-
ence on the part of a few with
legitimate ecclesiastical and civil
authority"

Mrs. Roosevelt
Defends Women
Seeking Jobs

By the Associated Press.
Mrs. Franklin D. Roosevelt came
out yesterday as champion of the
right Of women to work at paving
jobs regardless Of whether they need
the money.
In an interview in the March issue
Of the Junior League Magazine, she
said:
Most young women take paying
Jobs for two reasons: One, to sup
plement Of necessity their family
income, or two, to exercise a talent
they possess.
II believe that about the only
gauge Of merit today is a monetary
one. We don't ask young men to
work for the glory of it, and, how
ever wrong it is, we do rate success
In dollars and cents"
However, Mrs. Roosevelt said, if
the young woman does not need the
earnings she has an obligation to
use that money to create work for
others.

Incoming Gov. UW.I .-

Hurley is busy passing cut gold braid quite a few days ahead of his induction into the service of Connecticut as gov errOr. Scanning the names of the staff, these slightly weary eyes halt at one name. On a summer day at Camp DeSOuge, France, a starry youth bounced into cur barracks with the startling and slightly grewsome invitation: "A howitzer just ex- ploded on the range; killed seven! Come on out and look at 'em!" That lad is soon to wear heavy rank on the governors staff, where there is no gore.
 Nope, we didn't look over the disaster. We waited, just a few days. In the streets at Chateau Thierry, draining into the River Marne, we found the cobble-Stones slippery, and red.
 Curiosity is funny thing. Roar ing up the slope of Good Hill, on moonlight night not so long ago, two motorists saw what looked like a deer beside the way. Back ing up. they made a discovery. It was the hide of a cute little red heifer, probably killed by hun ter, who couldn't tell the differ ence. We wonder, did the warden catch the party that skinned that calf? Had he caught all the aliens who manage, somehow to secure hunting licenses in the small towns? 0t is supposedly fel- Ony for an alien to bear arms.)
 Smart Yankees. Nate Beardsley queried farmer about pork hog. "Oh, it'll dress-off maybe 150 pounds" the farmer said. He's yorn fer fifteen dollars" Nate bought the hog. It sealed 3O5 pounds when shucked and polished off ready to bake.
