Joining Of France With Germany To Crush Britain Is Given As Another Of Reasons For Hess Mystery Dash

ward rapprochement with Germany involving French repudiation of the Anglo-Saxon nations.
 Adm. William D. Leahy, American ambassador here, has made 1t plain to Marshal Henri Philippe Petain that the United States would re- gard any gesture of French mili- tary solidarity with Germany as an abandonment of French neutrality.
 There are reports that Germany has demanded the use of French ports in Morocco and the Port of Dakar. Persons close to Darlan deny this and insist that there is no question of giving any port fa- cilities anywhere to any foreign power
 Darlan believes that the time has arrived for France to cooperate with Germany. The question today seemed to be whether Petain would regard GeTmafly,s price, whatever 1t may be, as too high.

 It was recalled in this connection, that Hess had been called the author of many of the most anti French chapters in Hitler's book, Mein Kampf. Hess, imprisoned with Hit Ter in the Landsberg fortress in Germany after the 1923 Nazi putsch, edited Mcin Kampf. and according to reports. wrote much of it. He and some other less cynical Nazis have regarded Mein Kampf throughout the years as the NaZi bible, and Mein Kampf pledged Hitler to seek friendship with Britain and to try to destroy France.
 The present French German col. laboratlon negotiations might be taken as standardization of the re- port that the Fsibbentrop faction in Germany had won.
