United States Ambassador to
France who presented his creden-

Petain, was described tonight by
close observers of French politics
as one of the most important re-

These observers pointed out that
French policy since the armistice
had been based on the belief that
Germany would win the war and
that France must make peace with

an outstanding proponent OF this
theory. has now departed from the
Petain regime.
President Roosevelt's December

Anti-Americans Often

By Recent Study
BY CHRIS A. MATHISEN.

United States business interests
in Latin America frequently" are
being represented by, firms and in
dividuals nov known to support
objectives contrary to the best inter-
ests of the American republics"
Nelson A. Rockefeller, co-ordinator
of commercial and cultural relations
between this country and the other
American republics, declared today
in a statement on the results of
recent study made by a mission of
trade experts under auspices of his
office.
Officers and employees of num-
Der of concerns handling Latin
American business of some United
States companies ARE officials of
anti-American powers" Mr.. Rookie
feller stated.
His use of the word Frequently"
was not meant to indicate that
large percentage of American firms
had the type Of representation men,
toned, he emphasized, since, he
said, the survey showed the con-
trary 10 be the case.
Correction Plans Undecided.
Explaining that it was not his
original wish to make any state
ment at this time, the co-ordinator
said today's report was prompted by
published speculations He added
that no definite plans for correcting
70 hln Gil
had been decided upon, but were the
present concern of his Office.
Mr. Rockefeller said that the mis-
sion had found the conditions re-
ported present in some degree" in
all the countries visited. which in
cluded every Latin American nation
except two small Central American
countries" These, he added, would
be visited to complete the survey.
In his statement. Mr.. Rockefeller
listed the following as among other
findings of the mission, which, he
said, were being made available to
interested Government depart
ments":
l. That the anti-American repre-
sentatives referred to often used
advertising appropriations of United
States business firms to force news
papers, and in some instances, radio
stations, to adopt anti-American
editorial policies"
Many Employees Known Members.
2. That many employees of United
States companies or their affiliates
in Central and South American
countries are known members of
local anti-American organizations.
3. That many anti-American
firms, which formerly sold only
European products have now sue
ceeded in obtaining agencies for
United States business. These new
connections are keeping them alive
and enabling them to maintain their
trade contacts. In many instances
they openly declare they will return
to their former lines at the expira-
ton of the war.
4. That many of these agents
who now represent United States
firms are obtaining through this
medium confidential trade informa-
ton which is made available to anti
American powers.
S. That profits thus derived from
representation of United States firms
are being used to finance operation
of propaganda agencies in Central
and South America.

Old Libel Suit Against
n. F. F.. E. Is Dismissed

A 100000 libel suit against the
National Federation of Federal
EMPLOYEES was thrown out Of Dis
trict Court today by Justice David
A. Pine when the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees
and its president, James B. Burns,
who brought the suit, failed to ap-
pear in court.
Justice Pine dismissed the case
against the N. F. F. E, Luther c.
Stewart, president, and Gertrude M.
McNally, secretary-treasurer, and
pronounced judgment against the
plaintiffs for costs.
The case has been pending four
years. When it was tried last year
before Justice T. Allan Goldsbor-
ough the jury disagreed
The A. F. G. E. contended in the
suit that the N F. F. E. had libeled
the A. F. c.. z. in publication
called The Federal Employe." and
that this alleged libel was repub-
lished in the form of handbills.
In its suit, which was filed in
May. 1887. the court was told that
the publication complained of came
in March of that year and called
attention to an alleged sit-down
demonstration by certain A. F. G. E.
members who were in the Govern
ment service. The publication. so
the plaintiffs said, declared that this
action was a natural consequence
of headlong, irresponsible career"
accusing the plaintiffs of bringing
ito all Federal employees, not only
shame and ignomy. but its actions
threaten the very basis of the re-
lationship between Government and
employe"
The defense claimed qualified
privilege. thus exempting them from
suit: truth, lack of malice, and as
serted that the individual Defend
ants acted as officers of the asso-
citation and so were not personally
liable
