Freak of War
| Diyerts Italian
| Steel to Britain
By the Associated Press.


BALTIMORE, Sept. 13.-Forced
into shelter here by the British At
lantic blockade, the italian freighter
Euro today was unloading steel
scrap for an American mill-which,
in turn, is supplying steel to British
munitions factories.
The Euro and eight other Italian
ships were en- route home when Italy
entered the war against Britain.
Beating British destroyers into
Hampton Roads, Va, they awaited
developments.
When it became obvious they had
slim chances of getting their cargo
home, arrangements were made to
sell it to the American mill.
AT the same pier where the Euro
was unloading, a British freighter
was taking tons of pigiron aboard.
Its crew includes survivors of the
torpedoed British freighter Blair
more, who were landed here last
week by a Swedish vessel.
Capt. Hugh Campbell of the Blair
more, will command the freighter,
which was purchased recently from
American interests.

Italian and German
Demands Reported
Rejected by France
Nozis Seek Food, Foscists
DemobiIizution of All
Troops in North Africu
BY ]. c. STARK,
Associated Press Stan Writer.


The French government was re-
ported reliably last night to have
turned down major demands from
both Germany and Italy. In diplo-
matte quarters it was believed the
future of the Petain government and
unoccupied France might be vitally
affected.
The Italians were said to have in
sisted on rehabilitation of all
French troops in North Africa, esti-
mated at about 100000, fearing that
revolt against the Petain regime
might throw large reinforcements
to the British forces in that region.
Germany. these sources said,
called on the Petain government to
surrender so per cent of the live
stock in unoccupied France. The
German plan was said to have been
to send the livestock to Germany
and slaughter it for meat.
Faces Own Food Problem.
The Petain government, faced
with food problem of its own in
the unoccupied region and fearing
that each concession would lead to
still another demand. was under
stood to have rejected both the Ger
man and Italian proposals.
Whether negotiations were still
under way on more modest basis
was not clear in the reports here,
but some diplomatic sources forecast
increased difficulties for the present
Vichy government.
The Petain government might be
forced out, one well-informed source
said, or German and Italian troops
might extend their occupation to the
whole of France or a greater part
Of it.
In this connection. significance
was seen in an Italian press cam
paign against the Petain govern
ment which the Popolo di Roma de-
clared lacked the ability to admin
lister.
Complains About Tunisia.
HNting at the Italian anxiety over
the situation in North Africa. the
Rome paper asserted that the French
colony Tunisia was developing
scandalous atmosphere under the
influx of what it called degenerate
elements emigrating from Paris.
Tunisia borders Italian Libya on the
west. Egypt is on the east.
French troops in Tunisia, by
breaking away from the Petain gov
ernment and joining the De Gaulle
forces allied with the British, might
strike against Libya and menace
Italian troops from the rear in event
OF an Italian drive into Egypt, dip
lomatic observers pointed out.
After Frances defeat, many
French troops allied with British
forces in Palestine and Syria were
moved to North Africa. With re-
voting movements reported in va
rious parts of French Africa, Italy
was said to regard the French troops
in North Africa as a serious menace
to its whole military campaign in
that area.
