Far-Reaching Study
OF Policy on vichy
Launched by Hull
Attitude to Be Governed
By Reaction to Nozi
Efforts to Take Control
BY LLOYD LEHRBAS,
Associated Press Staff Writer.

Secretary OF State Hull today be-
gan sweeping denomination OF
United States policy toward Vlchy
France.
The Secretary turned to this new
problem as soon as he was freed
of the time-consuming converSa-
tions on the Pacific which have been
suspended pending Japan's decision
on whether to pursue policies OF
peace or aggression in the Far East.
Again the diplomatic objective was
TO avoid the spread of war to new
areas which might affect the peace
and security of the Western Heml-
sphere or jeopardize its interests.
The attitude of the United States
toward the Vichy government Will
be determined, Secretary Hull has
made clear. by its reaction to NaZi
attempts "to take over by force or
threat Of force the sovereignty and
control Of the French empire"
Weygand Removal Cited.
The State Department announced
November 20 that the United States
would review it's policy toward
France In the light of developments
which seemed to foreShadow COM
plete Franco-German collaboration.
The announcement cited as an ex-
annie the removal-"at the express
demand of Hitler"-of Gen. Maxine
weygand, Vichy's pro-consul for
North Africa.
Since the date of that announce
ment. however, further evidence OF
closer collaboration has failed to
materialiZe. On the contrary, a
scheduled meeting Of Chief of State
Petain and a high Nazi offlcial did
not come of. and there have been
reports that the aged marshal was
baking at yielding to the Reich's
latest demands.
Secretary Hull, nevertheless, evil
IDENTIFY considered that the situation
was still serious enough to warrant
a re-examination of relations.
Major Questions.
The major questions to be re-
studied were said to include future
policy toward French colonies in the
Western Hemisphere; toward
French ships tied up in American
ports and toward permitting further
withdrawals from Frances $780,
100000 in frozen assets here.
Also involved is the disposition OF
French requests for food shipments
to help feed the population of the
unoccupied zone and French
prisoners of war in Germany.
While severance of diplomatic re-
lations may come up for discussion
the United States is not expected to
take such drastic action as long as
France refrains from unfriendly
actions.
Unfriendly actions presumably
would mean Vichy's submission to
the latest series Of reported Nazi
demands. These include control of
strategic French bases in the
Mediterranean and on the West
African coasts for sea warfare; use
of the French fleet; permission to
move troops through unoccupied
France to reinforce the armies in
Libya, and "joint protection" of the
French colonial empire.

Christ. Science
CHRISTIAN SCIENCE SERVICES

God" will be the subject of the Lesson Sermon for Sunday, January
 The Golden Text is from Psalms 65:1, 2. Praise Waiteth for thee, o God, in Sion: and unto thee shall the VOW be performed. O thou that nearest prayer. unto thee shall all flesh come."
 Selections from the Bible include the following: "For the eyes of the Lord run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew himself strong in behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him." (II Chron- icles 16:9)
 Correlative readings from the Christian Science textbook, Science and Health with Key to the Scrip tures," by Mary Baker Eddy, include the following Opp. 192: 17-24 |: Moral and spiritual might belong to Spirit, who holds the wind in His fists;' and this teaching accords with Science and harmony. In Science, you can have no power op- posed to God, and the physical sen- ses must give up their false ,testi- mony. Your influence for good de- bends upon the weight you 4hrow into the right scale. The good you do and embody gives you the only pow CT obtainable. Evil is not power"

 CIuding Back Taxes

Collections of current taxes dur ing 1940 totalled $5,240.811, or 96.43 per cent of the entire levy, according to final figures announced today by Tax Collector Humbert Mangini.
 The figures do not include back tax collections or interest received during the year and make up the greatest current tax collection rec ord in the city's history.

 More, than 7O>per cent of all taxes on real and personal property due during the year had been collected by June 1, almost all of it coming between May l and Sl, when the first tax installment was due.
