METHODS OF

! Observation-Disclosures" maybe

rage of complaints, orders, agree
ments to abandon some advertising
practices, and so on and so on.
Reports on fifty-four cases were
sent to the Cooperative League Of
fees in a daily shower of stories of
profit business'-business "by hook
of advertising. And not only the little
hard pressed seekers after profit were
involved. The story told in these
flashes would be as follows:
Waterbury Clock Company, charged
with putting used parts in it's dollar
"IngersolP' watch.
Sears Roebuck G Company, agree
to discontinue the use of the term
"3-ply" as descriptive of garden hose
which is not constructed of three lay
ers of duck.
Ponds Extract Company, Ordered
to desist from representing that
ponds New Skin Vitamin Creams"
or any of its other lotions or creams
have any added beneficial value by
reason of their "vitamin A content"
or that they cause wrinkles to disap-
pear.
Eversharp Inc, pencil manufactur-
ers, accused of s-advertising for
their pencils a guarantee forever"
which was in reality repair service

Gulf Oil Company, denied it had
made any false statements in the adj
of it's insecticides, Gulf

Hearings will be held.

Vichy to Permit Nazis
TO Land at Bizerta

10 Lana dL Dl<SiAo
A well-known French journalist whit
has just arrived in this country IRON
France (his name must be withheld
for fear of reprisals on his relatives.
has informed officials in Washington
that Marshall Petain has agreed u
permit the nazis to land troops a
Bizerta as soon as the cold weather
sets in.
IF the report that he brought is cor
rect, it is virtually certain to bring
about a real crisis in United States
French relations, with possible sever
ance of diplomatic relations with the
Vichy regime.
Bizerta is a French port in Tunis
across the Mediterranean waistline
If the nazis are permitted to land
troops there, they will be able to re
inforce their North African garrisons
to the point of seriously endangering
Alexandria and the Suez. Ambassa-
dor Leahy, it is believed, has sought
70 obtain assurances from Petain that
he will never agree to permit such
landings.
Petain. according to this journalist,
has been desperately trying to ride
two horses at the same time, but the
nazis have decided to put an end to
these acrobatics. And, apparently, he
has decided to give in. However, this
journalist reports, Petain is not SO
sure now as he was a year ago last
September that a nazi victory is in
eyitable, although he cannot see how
the British can possibly defeat the
Germans on the European continent.
But he also is now convinced that
the nazis will never be able to under
take a successful invasion of the Brit
ish Isles.
Here are some of the other obser-
yations reported by this journalist;
Admiral Darlan is the most I'M
scrupulous person in French public
life. and plays Hitlers game because
he believes that the nazis will keep
him in mower. Weygand is in
had" with both Petain and Darlan,
is obstreperoYs, constantly quarreling,
and would constitute serious threat
to the collaborationist clique at Vlchy
were it not for the fact that MS
troops in Africa have been deprived
of effective weapons. The nazls saw
to that. Petain, respected as is
tattered old flag, is seldom attacked
personally, the attacks rather being
levelled at the "Vichy regime" NO
body wants to hurt his feelings.
There is considerable sentiment for
De Gaulle, but his movement in un-

occupied France is not well organized
The French people will have NJ
part of collaboration with the nazis
with the exception of a handful Of
business men whose businesses de-
pend on such collaboration, and few
'intellectuals Labor leaders who
come out for collaboration find them
selves ostracized by their unions.
Leader of the anti-collaboration move
ment is the Catholic church, whose
official organ comes Vout fearlessly
against it. When the Cardinal at
Lyons was~asked ,AHs Marshall Petain
to join his national committee, his
reply was that he would if the Chief
Rabbi also was placed on the COM
mittee Petain, Of course, answered
in the negative. II. Americas pres
tige has waned, since America is
looked upon as merely making prom
ises, but not performing.

industry to produce more planes,
tanks, and military vehicles. :. The
Raj raids on the French channel
ports had caused great damage, the
port of Brest being mass of ruins.
=. Although some Frenchmen have
been killed in the Raj raids, it is in
the vicinity of the channel ports
where the strongest pro-British feel
ing exists. News which the
French get comes almost entirely
from the German news agencies,
which feature speeches of Lindbergh,
Wheeler, and Nye, but do not report
Roosevelt's speeches.
Form interest Consumer Groups
The Consumers Division of OPACS,
under Miss Harriet Elliott, is sending
specially-trained field workers to va
rious sections of the country to aid in
cosumer-interest groups as
a means of combating the increased
cost of living.
1t has been found that except in
rare instances, the local defense COM
mittees have proven valueless in
fighting profiteering. The exceptions
are in such places as New York City,
where liberal mayor has given the

During the month of August the
United States sent 50O,O0O,0OO pounds
of food to England-none of which
was sunk by the nazis. Greatly in
creased food supplies are however be
ing asked for by the British accord
ing to the American Institute of Food
Distribution. Moreover, the new sit
uation in Iran offers an eastern route
for sending foods and other supplies
to the Soviet Union.
Food shipments to England have
been increasing in recent months and
are likely to increase even more
sharply during the next six months.
All signs point to an Allied invasion
of the Continent sometime this spring,
and for this, ample supplies must be
vailable.-Facts for Farmers.
