Henry Haye Assures U. 5.
Martinique Is No Peril

Bv the Associated Press.
New assurances were given to the
State Department yesterday, French
Ambassador CASTOR Henry Haye
said, that Martinique and other
French possessions in this hemi-
sphere represented no danger to
the United States.
The Ambassador said he also ex-
planned to Undersecretary of State
Welles the recent changes in the
Vichy government, which included
the custer of Pierre Laval as Vice
Premier and Foreign Minister.
In talking to reporters, the Am
bassador declined to go into de-
tails about this explanation, but he
asserted Marshal Petain is still
Marshal Petain,' thus indicating
that Petain was continuing his pre-
vious policies regarding the extent
of collaboration with Germany.

Mr.. Henry Haye said the new as
surances about Martinique and other
French possessions In the Carib-
bean did not result directly from
the recent Vichy changes and as
serted there were no developments
of serious nature to inspire the as
surances. a
He gave them, he said, only as a
continuation of his efforts TO- reach
better understanding on all
Franco-American problems.
The Ambassador said there had
been no discussion of the possibility
of granting the United States q
military base at Martinique.

The State Department initiated
today what authoritative spokesmen
described as final efforts to achieve
an agreement under which Amer

Spain.
The answer, 1t was disclosed in
oficial circles, is up to the British
and Spanish governments. Early
yes-or-no action is expected in view
of the urgency of the food situation
and the casting of unhappy Spain
in a strategic and perhaps decisive
role in European developments.

Bright red poppies, crepe paper
replicas Of the famous peoples Of
Flanders Fields, have arrived In
Libby as the women of the Ameri-
can Legion Auxiliary prepare for
the annual observance Of Poppy
Day on Saturday, May Is.
The poppies were received from
Fort Harrison, Helena, where they
were made by disabled World War
veterans. They show the patient,
devoted work of these men who
made them in remembrance OF their
departed comrades. All handmade,
the flowers vary slightly according
to the skill of the veterans.
sPoppy-making means much to-
the disabled veterans explained
Mrs. Ed Holmgren, Poppy Day
chairman. 1T provides an inter-
esting occupation for long hours OF
illness and convalescence. It gives
them the encouraging experience Of
again earning money and OF being
able to send money home to help
support their families"
The disabled veterans are the only
persons who receive pay for poppy
work. The Auxiliary women who
distribute the flowers serve as un-
paid volunteers, al contributions re-
ceived on Poppy Day going to sup-
port Legion and Auxiliary efforts
for the disabled and the needy fam
