Nuzis Try to Hold West Libyu
Steps Token to Offset Italian Defect
And Keep Gen. Weyeond in Line

as he was concerned. But to this
day Marshal Petain has stuck to
the principle that the existence of
an "unoccupied France" had to be
held as a primary consideration and
to take precedence over the safe
guarding of really free and inde-
pendent empire.
The danger, therefore, is that
Gen. Weygand may have to re-
nounce that position Of autonomy
which is still within his grasp with
great consequences upon the prog
ress of the war. In Vichy, will Gen.
Weygand persuade the marshal to
let him act as he thinks fit accord
ing to circumstances. without any
reference to the central government
or will he meekly acquiesce to the
requirements of Berlin-Vichy CO.
operation?
Sees NaZi Victory Inevitable.
1t has been recorded often that,
unfortunately, the head Of the
French state is only too prone to
regard German final victory as un-
avoidable, and consequently TO think
that the material unity of the
country must be preserved, that all
calculations postponing the recon-
stitution of unity to the time when
the British have won and arising
from latent belief in the in
vincibility of British arms, is bound
to lead to disappointment. The out
look of the old marshal may have
changed. but no one seems to be
aware of it.
In the last resort the whole ques-
ton comes to this: What was the
turn taken by the Paris conversa-
tionS between Admiral Francois
Darlan and the German authorities?
Probably the most Illuminating an
swer that can be given is to be
drawn with some phrases uttered by
Adolf Hitler few weeks ago.
Many Small Concessions.
They can be summarized thus:
Laval alone is able to do real work
All other French rulers speak end
lessly TO no practical effect what
ever. I should have been pleased
to meet Marshal Petafn in Paris
last December. Elaborate prepara-
tons were made to receive him. For
instance, we had noticed the lack
of all modern arrangements at the
Palace of the Elysee The heating
apparatus was out Of date. etc. I
had it overhauled and reftted by
the best experts who could be found
in Berlin. All that was in vain.
But I don't care, I can afford TO
wait. Material power is on my side.
Before long all those people, in
France and elsewhere, will have to
understand what it means.
Small concessions are continually
being made to the Germans which
go beyond the terms of the armis-
tice. Occasionally the outside world
hears of them. It remains to be
seen whether the ViChy government.
perpetuallv called to ransom, will
be given free hand in the overseas
empire as a return for a supposedly
more comfortable place to be allo-
Gated to France in the new "Eu-
ropean order
Meanwhile, in North Africa, the
British ought not to be short of a
counterstroke. For the sake of con-
ciliating Vichy, opportunities were
neglected, but may not have van
ished altogether.

LeprosY Patients Await
Results OF New Treatment
BY The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CARV1LLE. La. March 10
Physicians at the only leprossrium
in the United States disclosed here
yesterday that they and patients
suffering from the dread disease Of
leprosy were anxiously awaiting re-
suits from application of a new
treatment developed by an Amer
lean scientist in far-off Thailand.
DR.. Douglas r Collier, middle
aged physician whose work was cut
short by the dispute between Thai
land and Indo-China, is visiting
briefly to demonstrate his methods
at the leprosarium, United States
Marine Hospital No, Sc.
Physicians at Carville welcomed
the new treatment, but warned,
while they felt hopeful of beneficial
results, it has not been recognized
as cure in the medical world.
The treatment. requiring only in
iections of ordinary diphtheria tox-
old or antitoxin. is being given pa
tients here, said DR.. G. H. FACET,
medical officer in charge of the hos
pital.

proposal of law in Congress to deal
with the labor problem foroids
iurisdictional disputes and yet Pres
ident Roosevelt publicly said the
other day that the Nation would
not countenance such disputes on
defense work. There would be fewer
iurisdictional strikes If the labor
board acted more expeditiously in
determining the appropriate bar
gaining unit and if the Congress
forbade closed shop" agreements
on defense projects.
The truth is most Of the Govern
ment agencies, including the labor
board, have not bestirred themselves
in che interest of national defense
as they should in the present emer-
gency, the idea evidently being that
uniOniSm as usual and hair-Splitting
decisions and rulings as usual can
be carried on now as in the last
several years without damaging the
defense program.
Sooner or later the public is going
to wonder why one day the Gov
ernment announces priorities, as

of the policy the French commander
in North Africa intended TO follow.
Some visitors had left him with the
impression that he was resolved,
at last, to obtain from overseas some
vital supplies gasoline, sugar, etc.
which, indeed. it might have been
possible for him TO purchase and
import, in past months, had he given
the assurances requisite to cause the
British blockade to relax. But those
favorable anticipations of Weygand's
policy apparently are no longer en-
tertained. The plain fact is that
WeygandS authority is being
gnawed day by day by German in
reference.
Up until now the right to ask
for the disarmament and diSband-
ment of French units In Northern
Africa and Syria did not belong to
Germany. but to Italy. Although
under German orders, the Italian
Commission of Armistice did very
little to get rid of the French Army,
at any rate in North Africa. The
explanation is that the Berlin gov
eminent had been deeply impressed
by the naval conflict at Mers-el
Kebir, that it credited the imperial
staff in London, helped by Gen.
Charles de Gaulle with the will to
Wrest from ViChy the French En-
pire and also the French with a
determination to resist.
rz..Il..,.
Since then, Gen. Weygand has
done enough to keep the Germans
wondering about his future course
Of action. Moreover, they have come
to realize that. in an emergency,
crestfallen italian officers could not
be relied upon to keep French North
Africa in order. that. under the
shadow of the Libyan disaster. they
could not be reasonably expected to
disarm and disband troops which,
after all, were not actually defeated
in battle.
1t is very ominous that lately,
Notwithstanding a definite provision
in the Franco-Italian armistice, the
Germans set themselves to fulfill
the task formerly intruSted to their
allies. SO far only small, scattered
units have been dealt with, and it
is reported that groups of officers
are doing their best to elude or
check that undertaking. But We
are only at the beginning Of
lengthy process.
In January competent quarters
here learned of the presence Of
German detachments around BIZ
zerta, German inflltration in North
Africa must have been the FORE
runner Of more open and substan-
tial intrusions. Light motorized
groups are said to have reached
Tunis.
Two Constructions.
Two very different constructions
can be placed on Gen. Weygand's
stay in Vichy, to which twice before
he had refused to return. He re-
peatedly declared, at the beginning
of the war. that he would never
carry out instructions from Pierre
Laval, that only the word of Mar
shal Henri Philippe Petain was al

serve that metal, and the next day
a strike is called in an aluminium
plant, thus increasing the shortage
of production. Some of the respon-
sibility may be due to subversive
elements, but the present admins
tration, while concurring somewhat
with the work of Representative
Dies committee, has not yet un-
covered the facts it has in its pos
session about the part played by
Communists in abusing existing law
to gain their ends. Attorney Gen
eral Robert Jackson said a few
weeks ago that Communists were
responsible for calling and prolong-
ing a strike in the Vultee aircraft
plant, but no more has been heard
since about punishment for those
responsible.
