BRITISH WARN
FRANCE AGAINST
HELPING HITLER

LONDON. May 23-Britain spar
red with France, her beaten ally,
today in what some qualified sour
ces termed a state of undeclared
war. Anthony Eden. the British for
eign secretary, warned the Vichy
government that unless it calls an
instant halt TO its policy of help
ing Hitler. Britain will seek out
and attack the Germans on the soil
of unoecupied France.
Almost simultaneously it was de-
clared officially that the British
navy has seized the heavily laden
French oil tanker shesherazade,
one of the biggest tankers in the
world, while the 13,467-ton ship
was in the Atlantic, en- route from
Houston. Texas, to Casa Blanca,
French North Africa. London in
formants said they understood the
seizure was carried out with the
consent of the United States.
The disclosure that Britain is
ready to bomb unoceupied France
unless Yichy pauses in her course
of German collaboration reflects the
fear that Germany is about to send
troops through unoccupied France
into Spain in an attempt to knock
out Gibraltar.

In a desperate challenge TO the
British fleet, Prime Minister Win

Commons the Germans thrust 30 yes

warships leaped to the attack, he
reported, and later information in
