The chief asset of such tiny craft
is their ability to operate in shall
low waters where a larger submar-
rine would be forced to the surface
and which makes them much more
difficult to detect. 1t would also bt

Hull Lashes
French Actions
Gives viehy Blunt
Settlement Of Fact

WASHINGTON, June SIP
Secretary Hull told France to-
day that Franco German collab-
Grafton was "inimical" to the
rights of the United States and
other nations.
In q statement, the secretary
of state declared official reports
indicated that the Vichy govern
ment had adopted a policy of
collaboration with other powers
"for the purpsoe OF aggression
and oppression"
In what seemed a warning
that French possessions in the
western hemisphere might be
taken over by the United States
and other American nations,
Hull said: -
1--WE are. therefore, undertak-
ing as speedily-as possible to as
semble every material fact and
circumstance calculated to shed
light on this alleged course of
the French government"
After reviewing American re-
lations with the Vichy govern
ment since the French armistice
with Germany Hull said that
that United States policy "has
been based upon assurances by
the French government that
there was no intention on its
part to exceed the strict limita-
tons imposed" by the armistice
terms.

At present all available help

Pettingill reported to city

that plans will have to be laid

The total cost Of the field,
according to Pettingill, will be
